Black Christmas Movies: Release Order
Black Christmas is a unique horror franchise that helped pioneer the slasher genre with its 1974 original, then reimagined the concept twice for new generations. Each film presents the same core premise - a sorority house under siege during Christmas break - but tells completely separate stories with different killers, characters, and approaches.
This watch order follows the series' evolution, from Bob Clark's influential psychological thriller to increasingly explicit interpretations, where each film presents itself as a standalone reboot.
