Episode 12 - Black Christmas (1974)

HOLI-YAYYYY! Join us as Katie introduces Graham and Ashley to the classic 1974 Christmas horror film, Black Christmas. One of the original slasher pics, the inspiration for Halloween, with innovative camera work in a pre-steadi-cam era and a killer cast, Katie finds a way to bring horror to the holidays. Starring a slew of actors who would go on to have extremely successful careers in horror, this innovative (for the time) story follows a group of sorority girls on Christmas Eve as they start getting disturbing phone calls from a deranged lunatic, and are then swiftly met with an icy end. With horror mainstays Margo Kidder (who would follow this film with The Amityville Horror), Keir Duella (who had been in 2001: A Space Odyssey six years prior), John Saxon (best known for A Nightmare on Elm St.), Art Hinkle (who went on to play a role in Invasion of the Body Snatchers) as well as comedic ingenue Andrea Martin (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), this is one horror film that ALL THE PODCASTERS WOUND UP LOVING. So make sure your halls are decked because THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.
