Stormtroopers have always been the Empire’s biggest weakness in Star Wars. They have been part of the franchise's iconography and storytelling since blasting their way into the Tantive IV in A New Hope, and remain so in the most recent Star Wars projects. They’re the nuisance that needs to be dealt with, easy to impersonate, and even easier to kill. And yet the Empire has always relied on its stormtroopers to do the grunt work, hoping time and again that they would be able to protect their strongholds and prevent rebel activity from undermining its operations; but the stormtroopers nearly always prove them wrong.
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.
