The Black Christmas fan film It’s Me, Billy gets a sequel this coming Halloween season with It’s Me, Billy: Chapter 2, set to be the final installment of this particular fan film saga.
Written, Produced, and Directed by Canadian filmmakers Dave McRae and Bruce Dale, It’s Me, Billy: Chapter 2 picks up immediately from the cliffhanger ending of It’s Me, Billy (2021) and continues the same night.
“Jess is Alive! Hidden deep within the walls of Jess Bradford’s mansion lies the evidence that will exonerate her former boyfriend Peter Smythe and expose the real 1974 Bedford killers. Picking up immediately where chapter 1 ended, Sam and her grandmother, now trapped and alone, must fight back against the clutches of Christmas evil before they’re swallowed by its darkness.”
Black Christmas alumni Lynne Griffin (Curtains, Strange Brew), who played the strangled young Clare who met her fate with a plastic bag over her head in the original 1974 film, returns to play Nancy (Clare’s sister), who is hellbent on solving her sister’s 50 year old cold case.
On May 1, 2023 it was announced that Olivia Hussey would be reprising the role of Jess Bradford. Unfortunately, and under doctor’s orders, she had to step away from the project for health reasons in November 2023. Canadian actress Lisa Kovack stepped in as her replacement.
Victoria Mero returns as Sam, the granddaughter of Jess Bradford, with Caro Coltman as Agnes, and Bryan Charles Peter as the infamous Billy.
The filmmakers preview, “When we began this journey in 2019, our goal was to honor the original Black Christmas in the form of an unofficial fan sequel packaged in a professional product from top to bottom. But we knew we could only take the story so far, hence the cliffhanger ending of Chapter 1. We are so thankful that Black Christmas and horror fans from around the world stepped up and donated to our Indiegogo campaign so we could finish our story. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the original Black Christmas, and we are beyond thrilled to bring our two-part series and unofficial sequel to a close. We are truly honored to be a small part of an incredible legacy, and we thank horror and Black Christmas fans from around the world for their continued support.”
It’s Me, Billy: Chapter 2 is a not-for-profit fan and tribute film honoring the legacy of the 1974 Canadian classic. The film will be made available for free on YouTube and Vimeo on Friday, October 11, 2024 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original classic.
