Catherine de Medici earned the title The Serpent Queen for several reasons: her use of poison, her monarchical scheming, and her ability to hold together the French court all made her a notorious historical figure. Catherine, played by Samantha Morton (The Walking Dead) in the upcoming Starz period drama, enters the French court as an orphan in hopes of bringing in a fortune and producing viable heirs. Naturally, complications arise as the French monarchy is found to be a less than hospitable place to Catherine.
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.
