While Alien: Romulus won’t be a sequel to Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant, there are numerous reasons why this could be a good thing for the franchise. Ridley Scott started one of the most successful franchises in sci-fi horror history when he directed Alien in 1979. The legendary director crafted a lean, terrifying horror movie from Dan O’Bannon’s screenplay, "Starbeast." Alien saw Sigourney Weaver’s Ellen Ripley evade the titular Xenomorph as the monster picked off her co-workers one at a time aboard the Nostromo. Combining the slasher movie formula of Halloween with the space setting of Star Wars, Alien proved a huge hit upon release.
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.
