“I’m sorry, but that fuckin’ voice, that was not Megan or Kyle. That was the fucking devil, and he was not talking to us, he was talking to Billy.”
It’s Christmas Eve and the Halloweenies are shacking up at New Hampshire’s Clement University — more specifically, Delta Alpha Kappa. Things are … festive, to say the least. The entire place is dolled up with candy-colored lights, providing a beacon of hope amidst the ensuing snow storm. Hopefully Santa will see ’em. Or Billy even.
Who’s Billy?
Find out by revisiting Glen Morgan‘s 2006 remake of Black Christmas. Starring Katie Cassidy, Michelle Trachtenberg, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Oliver Hudson, Lacey Chabert, Kristen Cloke, and Andrea Martin, the star-studded slasher celebrates its 15th anniversary this Christmas, and the Halloweenies are gathering around the tree to celebrate.
Join co-hosts Dan Caffrey and Mike Vanderbilt as they unwrap the aughts relic alongside special guests Jenn Adams of The Losers’ Club/Psychoanalysis and Adrienne Clark of I Love Splatter. Together, they discuss how the excessive gore works both for and against the film, Morgan’s colorful aesthetic, and Shirley Walker‘s swan song score.
