While On Stranger Tides recouped its astronomical budget, the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie took a risk that Pirates of the Caribbean 6 cannot afford to repeat. Like many blockbuster franchises, Pirates of the Caribbean seemed too big to fail. After the sleeper hit success of the original 2003 movie The Curse of the Black Pearl, Disney took a big gamble on two back-to-back sequels that cost a whopping $225 million and $300 million respectively. This risk paid off as the second and third Pirates of the Caribbean movies earned around a billion dollars each (with the second making $1.066 billion while the third earned $966 million).
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.
