21: Black Christmas (1974)

In this episode, we dive deep into the snowy suspense of Bob Clark's 1974 cult classic, Black Christmas. We revisit the film’s troubled release history, surprising critical reviews, and its gradual rise to horror royalty. We explore its Canadian roots, its connection to true crime, and the feminist undertones that set it apart from other slashers. We debate whether Jess, one of horror’s greatest final girls, actually survives, and rank our favorite characters and moments. Plus, we each share our original songs inspired by unforgettable scenes - Rachel’s Adeste Fideles and John’s Terminal 55. Join us as we celebrate the creepy coziness, groundbreaking cinematography, and chilling sound design of Black Christmas - a holiday horror that's anything but merry.
