Black Christmas
 

Black Christmas is a movie i kept reading about here and there through my travels of this fantastic genre of ours and it would sell itself as being the key stone of Halloween and Ft13th and one the orginal slashers of the 80s. So i thought get a copy and have a look. And after watching it i just dunno, it would be interesting to see what others think. Any fans out there?

i think this is in the wrong forum but about the movie, i love this movie because of the way the story is made, the killer is in the house the whole time and we know this but the actors do not...and lets not froget the ending:D

Moved to the correct forum.

i saw it recently for the 1st time in years ...
It doesnt stand the test of time as well as Halloween (although it was made first) but it is still worth a peel.


after all - it's Canadian :D

I like "My Bloody Valentine".....:D

black christmas was super i thought....the frantic phone calls reminded me of mr. bungle songs....the chick in the rocking chair wrapped in plastic was ill....cant stand hussey...but i love margot kidder...its not really frightening like a halloween.....then again i saw it for the first time when i was 22....still a great movie though..

Black Christmas is great, def. paved the way for movies like Friday The 13th and such, i still need to pick me up a copy of this on dvd...

My Bloody Valentine is a great movie also, def. one of the better slashers from the 80's

I even made a fuck you n00b pic from that movie...:D

I enjoy the movie and its part of my xmas holiday tradition. And I also thought - BILLY......BILLY!!!!

who the hell is Creighton Duke? I know I've heard the name but I can't think of it.

Creighton Duke was the bounty hunter from Jason Goes to Hell . . . wasn't he?

yeah that's it

Friday the 13th-1980 - this one is :-D

yup. i love that film. great ending. and when that lady got her jaw broken inwards? LOL!!!!

Good film

My mother loved horror films and used to watch them all the time. Unforunately, she'd get so scared by them it was ridiculous. After seeing the Excorist, she couldn't shower alone because when she had her eyes closed, she'd see Reaghan's face. She had to walk out of TCM because she was altogether too frightened. and of course, there was Black Christmas.

After watching it at the theatres, she started recieving prank phone calls. (Years later, she assumes someone saw her at the theatre and decided to be a jerk.) Her fear of attics inclined drastically. So one day, when I was quite little, she told me about this really scary film where the killer lived in the attic and no one knew about him.

Naturally, I was terrified beyond the capacity of human thought and remember spending many a sleepless night thinking I could hear something (or someone) in the attic.

Four Christmas' ago, my mother recieved Black Christmas as a present. When I finally had the chance to see it (also my mother's first time seeing it since her first time) I enjoyed it but of course, it didn't live up to the terrors I had created in my imagination. Great ending, though.

After watching it, my mother locked me in the garage and turned off the lights as a practical joke. Seeings how it was Christmas, I freaked out. Ahhhh, memories.
