The star of a somewhat overlooked but truly classic 1970s slasher movie is returning to reprise their role in a brand new fan-made sequel.
The star of classic 1970s slasher film Black Christmas is returning for a new fan-made sequel. Released in 1974, Bob Clark's Black Christmas told the chilling story of sorority sisters being stalked by a mysterious killer over the Christmas holiday. Regarded as one of the very first true slasher films, the low-budget Canadian production was unique among horror movies for never receiving an official sequel.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Now the fan-made It’s Me Billy is getting its own sequel, and the production is receiving a huge boost, as original Black Christmas star Olivia Hussey is set to reprise her role. As revealed by the film’s co-directors Bruce Dale and Dave McCrae, It’s Me Billy 2: Chapter 2 is currently seeking contributions via Indiegogo, with an eye toward kicking off production in winter of 2023.
“It’s Me, Billy was always designed to be the first part of a two-part story, hence the cliffhanger ending. It was always our hope that we’d get a chance to complete our vision and bring this story to a conclusion. Now is that time. We are excited to invite horror fans from around the world to help us complete the final step of our journey, one that will continue to pay honor and respect to the incredible legacy of the original Black Christmas and everyone involved in the making of that film.
Where Black Christmas Fits In Slasher Movie History When it comes to the history of slasher movie villains, figures like Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger immediately come to mind. But before all those classic monsters terrorized young moviegoers, Black Christmas unleashed Billy, a deranged sorority-sister-terrorizing murderer who helped set the template for future mad movie killers.
Beyond the influence of the Billy character on future horror movie icons like Michael Myers, Black Christmas also offered an early example of the final girl concept, paving the way for characters like Halloween’s Laurie Strode and A Nightmare On Elm Street’s Nancy Thompson. Now one of the OG final girls is set to return, as Hussey will reprise the role of Jess Bradford 50 years after first bringing her to life.
