In 1974 Bob Clark established a new horror genre with his festive fear masterpiece Black Christmas. Now, over four decades later, 101 Films proudly presents the UK Blu-ray debut of this chilling cult classic. 

Last year Scream Factory released a wonderful Blu-ray edition of Bob Clark’s Christmas classic, Black Christmas, here stateside. Now, courtesy of 101 Films, fans of this horror holiday classic will get to spend this Christmas season with some 2K Billy! Full details below!

Sorority house Pi Kappa Sigma is preparing for Christmas but little do they know, ’tis the season for murder. First, the obscene phone calls begin and a girl goes missing in mysterious circumstances…then the bodies begin to pile up. Can the girls survive the holidays, and is the killer lurking closer to home than they think? Horror veteran John Saxon (A Nightmare on Elm Street) leads an all-star cast in a holiday favourite that ushered in the slasher film with its tense sequences of stalk and stab and sadistic yuletide blood-letting.
