Topics of discussion: Women’s Reproductive Rights, Feminism, & Final Girls, Possible Anti-Feminist Themes in Black Christmas, house and home imagery and meaning, and the Black Pill. --- Thanks to Lily LeBlanc for our theme song: www.lilythecomposer.com --- Resources: Black Christmas (1974) Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Christmas_(1974_film) 12 Surprising Facts About Black Christmas by Matthew Jackson https://mentalfloss.com/article/568067/black-christmas-horror-movie-facts The Quad: ‘Black Christmas’ remake to regift feminism to horror genre 45 years later BY RYAN WU https://dailybruin.com/2019/07/01/the-quad-black-christmas-remake-to-regift-feminism-to-horror-genre-45-years-later/ Women In Horror Series: “Black Christmas” by Kelcis Mattson https://medium.com/@wewillbethestars/women-in-horror-series-black-christmas-92b50051a9fc Black Christmas reminds us that nothing is sacred by Zack Handlen https://www.google.com/amp/s/film.avclub.com/black-christmas-reminds-us-that-nothing-is-sacred-1798275044/amp Skip Die Hard this year.
