Avatar: The Way of Water director James Cameron talks similarities between his growing franchise and pop culture phenomenons Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings. While film and television franchises have always been a staple of the entertainment industry, the prominence of streaming in modern times has brought franchise story-telling to a new level, with properties such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars expanding their vast catalogs via Disney+ shows and live-action films. Many streaming services have backed large-scale fantasy epics as they seek to break into expanded universe territory such as Amazon's The Rings of Power and Netflix's The Witcher, though Cameron's plans with Avatar: The Way of Water through Avatar 5 solely exist in the film space, for now.
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.
