    The moaner in this movie is based off a real killer around these times who would stalk people and call them before killing them with creepy conversations. After killing them however, he would call the cops while crying sayin that he killed someone. When caught they asked why he was always crying. He responded with “I was sad I wasn’t able to make another friend”

      Had Jess gotten out of the house then when the police turned up they'd have probably found Billy hiding behind the door in the room where Phyll and Barb's bodies were and either arrested or killed him. Instead she got herself chased around the sorority house and then killed Peter thinking he was Billy.

    I saw this movie as a teenager in the mid 2000s. Both my dad and my best friend’s dad were big fans of 60s, 70s and 80s horror. I have a lot of fun memories bonding with my friends over these old gems we found in their VHS collections.
    But oh my gosh. This one was NOT fun.
    This one wasn’t just disturbing, it actually scared me to my core. The other movies had ghosts, aliens, werewolves, and demons. This one just has a single sociopath. It could happen in real life. It does happen in real life.
    To this day I’m still terrified of ordinary things like basement windows and the space between the door and the wall. I even knew the scene was coming and I still gasped in horror on that eyeball zoom. I’m a damn adult now. Honestly though, I love Black Christmas for impacting me so much.

    I think adding Jess to the count would be legit. The killer use the phone after each kills. She is alone with the killer, sleeping, and we hear the phone rings. Assuming that she was killed off-screen is pretty safe I think.

    I love this movie. I felt so bad for Jess that she thought that Peter was the killer and so she killed him. It made me upset. I think Margot Kidder was fabulous and yes, hers was definitely the best kill, intercut with the carolers. Very well done film, the first of it's kind and IMO, one of the very best. That laughing cop was hilarious.

    I always enjoy watching your videos and how much depth you put into your research. To add to that, I think Billy is one of the most chill-inducing villains in horror history. We barely know what his past is; he can go from unstable to calm and collected in an instant, and the audience is only given a slight glimpse of him. For all the characters' knowledge and ours, the audience's, Billy could look like any one of us. In fact, most of us have probably passed a "Billy" in our lives and didn't realize it.

Granted it wasn't in the 70s where it must have been an uphill battle to get an abortion, but I still got freaked out on by the sperm donor because he didn't get the "my Body, My choice" memo. I will never understand how there are men so dead set on making sure a woman gives them a child, regardless of the circumstances. He had no job, she didn't either, his thing that could have taken him places with the piano didn't work out, but he STILL wants to have a lifetime commitment to a screaming crap cannon that costs millions of dollars a minute?

    The 1974 was so Good with Keeping billy anonymous! The Remake kinda killed that off but that was time in the 2000s where they made Buttloads of mediocre reboots of The Iconic flicks

    So happy you did this one. Black Christmas is actually a pretty fun, creepy, and well made movie. Deserves to be better remembered.

    I saw this randomly one Christmas when I was about 12 and the nightmarish phone calls have stuck with me ever since. They are frightening.

    I just watched this for the first time and it was great. I didn't know that it was considered the start of the slasher genre though, which makes it extra impressive.
