There are several Christmas horror movies to turn to throughout the month of December – in fact, you can see a list of 12 of them at THIS LINK. One of the most popular Christmas horror movies among genre fans is the 1974 classic Black Christmas (watch it HERE) – and that happens to be the movie we’re covering in the latest episode of the Real Slashers video series! To find out all about Black Christmas, take a look at the video embedded above.
Directed by Bob Clark, the same filmmaker who brought us the family friendly classic A Christmas Story, from a screenplay by A. Roy Moore, Black Christmas has the following synopsis: As winter break begins, a group of sorority sisters, including Jess and the often inebriated Barb, begin to receive anonymous, lascivious phone calls. Initially, Barb eggs the caller on, but stops when he responds threateningly. Soon, Barb’s friend Claire goes missing from the sorority house, and a local adolescent girl is murdered, leading the girls to suspect a serial killer is on the loose. But no one realizes just how near the culprit is.
The film stars Olivia Hussey, Margot Kidder, Lynne Griffin, Keir Dullea, John Saxon, Marian Waldman, and Andrea Martin.
Here’s what Real Slashers is all about: Ahhh the 80’s. A simpler time where the blood ran red, the boobies swung freely, and the weed was copiously smoked. A time where rampant killers were simply excuses for excessive sex and over the top murder. Yes, we’re looking at an era where the slasher movie ran wild over cinemas everywhere. Today, we’re looking at “Real Slashers.”
The show is Written, Narrated, and Edited by Tyler Nichols, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
