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.

That laughing cop was hilarious.

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.

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? Like....there's a serial killer hiding in a party house and I'm more creeped out by this guy?!

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.

For my Dutch class we had to listen to this story called: “have you checked the children” we were in 7th grade, the best part is that we went into the hall for our next class, the lights flashed an a phone rang. We were traumatised

[@kkcake5771]

what was it about?

[@imsad3630]

@@kkcake5771 oh lord it was ages ago I think it was about this babysitter who kept getting called by this weirdo who was like “have you checked the children” until she got so freaked the fuck out that she ran to their room, couldn’t get in and once she did the kids were gone or smn

[@loki1456]

We read that story my Sophmore year of high school, then we watched the film based off of it, When a Stranger Calls and they picked the best week to do it because that weekend, I had to babysit. I have never been so paranoid 😅

This is probably my favorite channel out there right now. You make great content man, keep it up!!

Yeah

[@coccinelle80]

TheTenebrianDrummer she was amazing and hilarious in this movie. Such talent.

[@Inyourspectraleyes]

TheTenebrianDrummer I can't believe she died at the age of 69

[@abramsullivan7764]

Yeah rest in peace Margot Kidder she's amazing

[@jessicaeskebk5945]

Rip barb

[@cpikoart]

I know she’s in shock and being chased by a murderer who killed her friends, but with how much they focused on Billy’s big brown eyes in that one shot you’d think she wouldn’t kill her innocent albeit suspicious boyfriend who she must know has blue eyes! Anyways this movie was creepy and should be talked about more when it comes to classic horror movies!

[@itscherylplayz8925]

Olivia Hussey is as underrated as this movie

[@DaPangZi888]

The old school Black Christmas a fun one to watch. Interesting to see how it set the structure for home invasion slasher flicks. The remake was... something else...

[@severnforward808]

Seriously dude, I can't get enough of these kind of videos haha. Keep up the entertainment man, You're going places. Shout out from Canada, and a small reservation where we live in igloos ;)

This is one of the rare films from a long time ago that still gives me the creeps. This was a REAL horror film =)

[@chrishansen9731]

And Olivia Hussey was a total babe.

[@sagenbabin8786]

James telling the killer to chill is so funny just his face saying chill it’s a it’s a a perfect meme template

You have no idea

[@loki1456]

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.

[@akiraslayer7934]

Never saw the original BC for some reason. Def gonna go give it a watch after this. Thank you as always James great KC always helps round out a boring week :3.

[@bryanegelhoffsanimationtec257]

I'd just like to say that, your video helped make my day. My day was going good so far, I got 3rd place in a talent show, and a nice lunch, but than a guy said one of my trigger words. My terreds syndrome makes me hit my forehead every time I hear one of my 2 trigger words. He said it again and again, I got very angry and depressed. But you just made my day. Thanks dude. For everything.

[@profoundpanda24]

um what

[@patrickd0403]

Gotta round up all the homies for this. We love your vids my dude!

[@SueBuzzard]

I hope y’all recount this! I would love to hear more history and behind the scenes of this seminal slasher.

[@somethinglessembarassing]

Just watched this one for the first time and DANG. I am super impressed. It's absolutely stood the test of time.

[@rebeccakinsey8987]

I love watching the videos. Your take on the kills makes them seem fresh. I love this channel! And your reactions are funny and amazing

[@konstantinoskaragiannis1596]

"Black Christmas"(1974) is an excellent and very atmospheric mystery thriller movie, and one of the 10 beat movies of all time for this Kind! The ending scene of the movie was ainigmatic and very creepy!

[@ashlynnheller8400]

Im a sucker for just about any time a horror movie uses the "the calls coming from inaide the house" trope. Probally because it was the first real urban legend I ever heard.

[@CHEESIEE3]

Frr there's lots of storys that the calls come from inside the house but movies like that are really good

I looooooove these so much !!!! I’m so glad I found your channel! The original is so much better than the remake , which was just super .....weird .

[@DeadMeat]

Yes. Yes it was.

[@idk.anymore19]

if james were to recount this movie, id watch it immediately. this has to be one of my favorite christmas horror movies, i love how billy was hidden the entire movie and you never actually see what he looks like.

[@ferox965]

Absolute classic. Canada represent! Here in Ontario, the drinking age isn't 21 but 19. It's 18 in Quebec.

“Wine-soaked sleep” is a George RR Martin phrase slipping out of you, it seems.

I can't believe I saw one of your videos recommended to me (pretty sure it was the Freddy Vs Jason KC) and ended up watching every single video afterwords. I always love these videos because theyre different than the normal movie reviews and you clearly have fun doing it. Great job, James! I always enjoy seeing your videos pop up on my feed every Friday.

MaKenzi M. I found this channel when watching some videos about Jason then was recommended a Friday the 13 kill count (forgot which one) after that watch every video he upload

The new Black Christmas was such a disappointment

[@angelzsins]

it's not a remake, it's a reboot, not supposed to be close to this one

[@R4WRY_Creepy_Claws]

I want to bash my head off a table after even knowing of black christmas (2019). I haven't seen the 2006 reboot at all but it's probably better than the remake. It's all about female empowerment even though in 2019 theres enough of that. Theres still a problem we need to solve, but it's not being fought by saying men are lazy tubs of lard who sit and don't work hard like women do. I miss when feminism was about equality and not about making everything about girls. Men have feelings too, feminists.

[@adrianocampo4696]

2wenty 7even Exactly, plus what was the point of representing female empowerment in the 2019 remake of Black Christmas when its already a cliche that women tend to be the 'final girl' or the survivor in horror movies?

[@DD-ej1hg]

[@michaelmurray8134]

There seems to be more suspense and creativity in these old horror genres. But the modern ones just lack that creativity and just make remakes of The Originals that just looks scary but lack the aura that made them scary.

[@cortingat]

The Strangers is actually one of the only modernish movies I’ll actually watch. Every older movie is good though.

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Your videos ALWAYS makes my day. Watching your vids is enough for me and more entertaining than watching the movies themselves lol.

facts. ive watched childs play 1,2,3 , bride of chuicky 1,000,000,000,000 times n love em but its is more entertaining watchen em on this kill count

[@MintyCow101]

This movie is soooo creepy and i love it! The killer is never seen, the unnerving voice, more horror movies need more suspense

[@jameskey4475]

Just by comparing the covers of this one and the 2019 version, you can already tell which one is better.
