Monster movies are a significant part of film history. From early silent films to the present day, audiences everywhere have been terrorized by vampires, werewolves, Frankenstein's monsters, zombies, and massive kaiju. Every country has its own set of fairy tales and urban legends to base its monster movies on, as well as creative minds that have made up new monster stories for the screen. Some of these monsters are allegorical or function as a jumping-off point to explore bigger ideas, while others are there to simply scare the viewer.
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.
