The Christmas Horror Slasher Film

i thought we might go with an entry this week from that surprisingly large sub genra of holiday horror, with a strong emphasis on christmas time horra films in american cinema. You know, i would have assumed, because halloween is one of the most copied movies of all time, that the christmas horror slasher film arose as one of the many halloween copy cats. But actually, the first christmas slasher film pre dates halloween a,. or at least as far as i know right case, a black christmas came out in 19 74. Things were just getting started.
