17. Bob Clark‘s Black Christmas (1974)

Wow! Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea, Margot Kidder and Andrea Martin star in this absolute Horror masterpiece from the same director and year as Deathdream: Bob Clark. I don’t understand how Black Christmas and A Christmas Story came from the same director. Put on your Gender Studies goggles and join us for a dive into the greatest Christmas movie of all time!
