I saw it on HBO late late late at night a few years ago, and it scared the [!@#$%^&*] out of me. The killer is really scary, and the movie was just creepy. So creepy.

I checked on Ebay and they have a 25th aniversary DVD out of Black Christmas.

i own the DVD, its available at amazon. Basically anywhere online. Nothing much in way of features, and its a full screen version of the movie (I've seen the wide on TV), but I'll take this movie in any form I can get it.

Hey Drew, perhaps it's time to whip out that "Black Christmas" avatar again? Margot Kidder on the phone... Agnes? Billy?

Umm, I like "Halloween 2" BETTER also! As odd as it may sound, I sometimes prefer a sequel! Go figure.

Black Christmas is awesome. Very creepy. One of the best slasher and scary movie's i have seen.I love horror movies..and i can go on and on on this subject. LOL!!

HMMM, I almost would, but SON's new avatar requirement is 90x90 and that was made when it was 150x150. This is the smallest the avatars have been.

And yes, I love Halloween 2 so much better. I look at both as being one big movie, but I just love H2 so much. The bigger budgeted reshoot of Loomis shooting Michael (crane shot of house, showing him fall from behind). I love the theme remix. I loved the storyline revelations about Laurie Strode. I loved the hospital setting, and the creepy executions. Loomis' search for Michael and the action of the town of Haddonfield. And that ending. BOOM!

Halloween was great as a slasher, but H2 is what pushed Halloween into being a viable franchise. Only real drawback was, as writer John Carpenter will himself point out, having Laurie Strode drugged unconscious for most of the film. He did write the movie drunk though according to the 25th anniversary DVD, so considering .... damn fine work

I love the classic stuff!

Nice choices Drew. R u Canadian? Just asking because u have Black Christmas and Rabid on ur list. I love David Cronenberg. Rabid is awesome. The same goes for Shivers. Those 2 movies are Canadian classics..as well as Black Christmas.

Is Black Christmas a classic? I've heard it mentioned on other boards.
