Black Christmas (1974)

Ha! I just started watching this yesterday! It’s a Christmas miracle!

Merry Christmas, Ames! Watched this last night for Christmas Eve and again today along with you. Great reaction and breakdown at the end. The director of this movie, Bob Clark, gave us 2 Christmas classics, this movie and also A Christmas Story (1983).

This is a really well made film, and it is seminal! In the commentary, Bob Clark told about how John Carpenter was a big fan, and asked if Clark would mind if he did a holiday themed horror film. Clark said, essentially, "No. Knock yourself out." And from this we got "Halloween", which spawned all the slasher films of the 80's. Did you recognize Kier Dullea, from "2001'? Or Andrea Martin, from SCTV? This was an all Canadian production, filmed in Toronto. They sprinkled American flags around, but they're not kidding anyone (those search party guys were SO Canadian!). I saw it in the drive-in when it first came out, and it scared the pants off my friend and I. Those phone calls are terrifying. It's still better than any following "slasher" films. This guy is really, really, insane. And, like "Halloween", there's almost not blood. And the characters are real. When someone dies there are consequences. The dead girl's father, the mother, the search parties. It could happen. And all of this brought to you by the director of "Porky's" and "A Christmas Story"! RIP, Bob Clark.

"House Mothers". I don't know if they still do that or not. . . . Olivia Hussey was such a great actress. And, finally, my wife used to work in a phone switching office - and it really was like this. But the call could only call from within the house because it was a different line. I think this was the first "the call is coming from in the house" movie. It may be my favorite horror movie. Oh, and there's a sequel/remake which is not very good, and is just a slasher film. And that sorority house is a real location. If you want to go check out the attic. . . .

I had not seen this one in so many years. It ended a little different from what I remembered.

1st time I’ve ever seen this, which is amazing, as I’ve been a lifelong fan of the horror genre my entire life. No idea how I’ve missed this one along the way. Recently, I watched Sinister here, which I found to be a dull addition to the horror genre. This, however, is outstanding!!! I see sooo many influences in other horror movies released years after this one came out in ‘74! I can definitely see the influence on Carpenter, Cunningham, Craven, etc. taking influence from this. Genuinely frightening premise. Well written characters. Pretty risqué plot points throughout, especially given the time frame. Margot Kidder’s character Barb, while clearly intended to be unlikable, was a bawdy, foul mouthed, drunken force of nature to watch in her scenes. I loved her character, in a diabolical, great fun a horror movies kind of way. And, as discussed in Ames’s outro, the fact that we never see the actual killer, or get any sort of backstory on that front (who the hell is Billy or Agnes???) makes for a much more frightening depiction of the ‘crazy bad guy’ you always find in scary movies like this! What a treat to finally see for me, as a fan of the genre. This had to be soooo far ahead of its time, when initially released in ‘74!!
