Merry December everyone, let’s talk a little Black Christmas. Full disclosure, this is an all time favorite of mine. I watched it a few years back and was blown away, especially when I realized how early this movie came out. It was four years before Halloween, a few weeks after Texas Chainsaw Massacre, this movie lays so much groundwork for the slasher genre I was so surprised that I had never really heard of it. Even if you disagree with how good this movie is, if you are a slasher fan it is a must watch as an important work in the genre. Don’t believe me on that? John Carpenter really enjoyed Black Christmas and asked the director Bob Clark if he had any ideas for a sequel. Clark had no interest in making a sequel, but did say if he did it would be about the killer escaping from a mental institution to terrorize people and he would call it…Halloween. That’s right the movie often held as the slasher was very much inspired by the man that directed A Christmas Story . Oh fud...
