A Christmas Story Director Made One of the Most Influential Horror Movies of the ‘70s
It’s truly exciting when a film becomes a cherished “Christmas classic,” and Bob Clark’s 1983 movie, “A Christmas Story” certainly fits that bill. Notably, it sparked the tradition of airing continuously for 24 hours every December. What makes this even more remarkable is that, way back in 1974, Clark had already ventured into holiday terrors with “Black Christmas“, a chilling horror film that still holds a significant place in the genre’s history. While “A Christmas Story” may have a broader cultural impact, many horror enthusiasts consider “Black Christmas” a groundbreaking movie whose influence is still strongly felt today.
