VJP 230 Black Christmas (1974)

Happy New Year from the Video Junkyard crew! We took a little holiday break this year but not to worry - we are back with a new review! This week we take a look at the 1974 classic horror film "Black Christmas". Directed by Bob Clark, written by A. Roy Moore, and starring Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea, Margot Kidder, Andrea Martin, Lynne Griffin and John Saxon, Black Christmas is one of the first (if not THE first) telling of the "stranger in the house with the babysitter"-style slasher films. Taking place during the Christmas season, a group of sorority sisters are preparing for the holiday break when a derranged caller ("The Moaner") keeps calling and harrassing them. But soon the calls become more threatening. And then worse. One of the more inspirational/impactful films on the horror genre, Black Christmas has beeb remade multiple times. But how does it hold up in early 2023? Check out the Video Junkyard Podcast to find out!
