One question many people have raised after seeing Encanto is whether the armed conflict that forced Alma and Pedro to flee is based on real-life events from Colombia's history. Some Disney Classics that have come before Encanto have a basis in historical violence, such as the war between Chinese and Mongolic states portrayed in Mulan or Britain's invasion of West Africa as featured in Tarzan. However, while the conflict in the Encanto village is an important part of its story, it takes a back seat until Abuela's flashback at the end of the film. It's also never given a specific name, which makes this question somewhat difficult to answer. However, there are some clues in Encanto's Colombian setting that help narrow down the actual historical events on which the movie is based.
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.
