The ending of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has much more significance to the rest of the series than audiences may assume. As the first movie in the franchise, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has the benefit of knowing the series roadmap, as J.K. Rowling had already published the fourth book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, by the time it was released. The first movie could also be considered a stand-alone work. Harry Potter, played by Daniel Radcliffe, and his friends enter the widening world of wizardry and magic, he discovers what happened to his parents, and he confronts and seemingly defeats Voldemort for good.
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.
