Spoilers for Netflix's The Midnight Club.In each episode of The Midnight Club, the terminally ill teens at the Brightcliffe Home hospice tell horror stories to one another. Created by Mike Flanagan, the Netflix series is an adaptation of Christopher Pike's 1994 novel of the same name, yet the individual stories told by the Brightcliffe patients, which provide most of the Midnight Club episode titles, are actually adaptations of other books by Pike. Each story stands alone, like a short film, but also has deeper meaning pertaining to the character telling the tale as well as the show's overreaching plot.
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.
