Summary

Can you guess what the gift is, Agnes? Before slashers ruled the ’80s, before masked killers stalked Camp Crystal Lake or Haddonfield, there was 1974 shocker Black Christmas. Often cited as a proto-slasher that paved the way for Halloween and beyond, Black Christmas mixes seasonal cheer with dread, delivering one of the genre’s earliest and creepiest home-invasion nightmares. Arnie, Stuart, and Brock gather around the tree to unwrap this horror classic, digging into its legacy, its influence, and whether its quiet menace still chills decades later. Is this holiday horror essential viewing, or does it get lost among the tinsel and blood? Be merry and listen now! {Black Christmas Series}
