Fan Film ‘It’s Me, Billy’ Takes Place 50 Years After the Original ‘Black Christmas’ [Trailer]
You always knew he’d call back.
Bob Clark’s horror masterpiece Black Christmas has now been remade two times, most recently by Sophia Takal just last year, but those two films hardly aimed to recapture the eerie holiday creepiness of the 1974 proto-slasher. Filmmaker Dave McRae, however, is looking to do just that with his film It’s Me, Billy, an *unofficial* sequel to Clark’s classic.
Funded through Indiegogo earlier this year, McRae’s short fan film It’s Me, Billy is being described as “an unofficial sequel that’s set nearly 50 years after the events of the first film.”
In the short, “Unaware of the danger that’s hunting her, Sam and her two best friends are spending Christmas Eve at her grandmother’s old country mansion. Stalked by a sinister evil that’s been lurking in the shadows for nearly 50 years, Sam is about to come face to face with her grandmother’s chilling Christmas past, the deranged psychopath known as Billy.”
McRae and the team explain their goals, “We want to create a tribute film to one of the most famous Canadian films ever made by making a short sequel that displays the same type of mood, atmosphere, and theater of the mind that Black Christmas gave us in 1974. What Black Christmas did for the Canadian film industry has never been forgotten.”
Today we’ve learned that It’s Me, Billy is releasing in Spring 2021, and we’ve also been provided with the official teaser trailer. Meet the granddaughter of Jess Bradford below!
In addition to helping out with KARMA: The Dark World, Wired Productions has also announced that their upcoming gory action title Gori: Cuddly Carnage finally has a release date. The Angry Demon Studio-developed title will arrive on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch on August 29. Digital pre-orders for the PlayStation versions include two days of early access on August 27.
“Gori: Cuddly Carnage is a throwback to the games I played in the late 90’s and 2000’s,” explains Leo Zullo, Managing Director of publisher Wired Productions. “It’s pure adrenaline, fun, outrageous and really a showcase of just what indie gaming is all about – a place for creativity, freedom and the ability to make the game you want to make.”
“It’s been an incredible journey bringing this absurd and action-packed world to life, and we couldn’t be happier to finally share it with players everywhere,” says John Kalderon of Angry Demon Studio. “We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our amazing community and everyone who has been a part of this journey since 2020.”
Gori: Cuddly Carnage focuses on Cool-Toys Inc.. Fueled by insatiable demand, the toy company created Ultra Pets, the ultimate companions that never hunger, never require bathroom breaks and are impervious to the ravages of time. Little did anyone expect a mutation that would transform these perfect pets into twisted toys straight from your nightmares, hell-bent on wiping out humanity. What’s worse, the Adorable Army has kidnapped Professor Y, Gori’s creator, and the only human who showed him and his friends love.
It’s now up to Gori with his wise-cracking sentient hoverboard, F.R.A.N.K, and morose A.I companion, CH1-P, to slay the Adorable Army with explosive weaponry and devastating combos in an epic battle to prevent the Adorable Army from conquering the galaxy.
