S1E5. FE2-0880: Black Christmas (1974)

from Wake Up Heavy · host Mark Begley

It's that time of year! You know the time, when we watch Bob Clark's Holiday Classic for 24 hours. No, not THAT Holiday Classic, THIS classic! That's right, Clark's Black Christmas, the proto-slasher that, according to many, inspired John Carpenter's Halloween, and laid the bloody groundwork for one of the most popular horror sub-genres. I explore the similarities and differences between the two films, and offer up some potentially controversial theories.[EPISODE CORRECTION: The murder that the urban legend of, "The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs," is supposedly based on actually took place in 1950 in Missouri.]
