The history of film promotion is filled with incredible movie moments being spoiled in trailers, oftentimes ruining the intended experience for audiences. Contrary to popular belief, spoiling key movie moments through the film's trailer isn't a new phenomenon at all. It's a practice that's almost as old as the film trailer as a promotional tool, and it remains a vital aspect of movie marketing today.
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.
