Horror comics are at the forefront of many cultural conversations today, and Image Comics' Killadelphia is no exception. Written by Rodney Barnes with art by Jason Shawn Alexander and colors by Luis NCT, Killadelphia blends the vampire and crime genres together in order to tell a deeply personal story about the machinations of power in American history, focusing on the intersections between race, gender, and class. As such, Killadelphia is truly unlike any other vampire story in comics today, its vampirism working as an extended metaphor for the dehumanizing effects of American politics and capitalism.
Bob Clark's 1974 horror film Black Christmas is one of the most influential slasher movies of all time, and it has an unforgettably chilling ending. In Black Christmas Billy is considered the villain as he picks off victims one by one, and after almost 50 years, his identity is still debated. The story takes place in a sorority house, where the residents are throwing a Christmas party before they depart. Little do they know, however, that a perverted killer has made his way into the house, and is preparing to pick them off one by one. The Billy Black Christmas character remains in the shadows for most of the movie, that is, until the chilling ending.
