About this episode
"No, Clare, it's the Mormon Tabernacle Choir making their annual obscene phone call."
After three years, we've finally made our way through all three versions of BLACK CHRISTMAS. This week, we're talking about the one that started it all, Bob Clark's classic from 1974. We discuss the importance of BLACK CHRISTMAS in the slasher canon, how the oldest version of the film is somehow the most progressive of all three, wax poetic about Margot Kidder's Barb, and declare this as the best film we've ever covered on the show. (So far.)
