About this event
FilmGet your spook on with this month's scary movie screening of Black Christmas (1974), directed by Bob Clark.
A prototype of the American slasher, Black Christmas wears its Giallo influences on its sleeve and sets a blueprint for genre films like John Carpenter's Halloween (1977). Shot in Toronto, the film follows a group of sorority girls over their winter break as they are harassed by a series of disturbing phone calls. Black Christmas has a running time of 1 hour and 37 minutes, and is rated R.
There will be a short introduction to the film followed by the screening, which will be accompanied by closed captions.
