A viral Twitter post ignites an illuminating and hysterical discussion about sitcoms overlooking characters' unresolved trauma. Since the advent of television itself, the situational comedy has been a popular genre known for its comedic and lighthearted portrayal of everyday life, most famously in I Love Lucy, Cheers, Seinfeld, The Office, Fraiser, and more. However, the sitcom's lighthearted and escapist tone means that they often mine characters' deep-seated emotional issues for comedy.
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.
