Summary

It's our Christmas special covering the original Black Christmas. Probably our biggest take away from this one is "Billy! Billy! Billy!". If you know, you know. During #11 we talk about the threat of home invasions, and specifically invasions of sororities, who were especially at risk in the 70's. We give credit to the director for creating a holiday feel whilst employing true terror, thanks to some eerie shots of an upstairs hallway and attic. Lastly, we debate the meaning of the film's ending and its disquieting nature. Website: https://stspod.wixsite.com/sts100
