Victoria and Hannah are back, swapping tinsel for terror in a jingle-bell jittering Christmas special of Haunted On Screen. This time, they’re decking the halls with blood and fear as they dissect Bob Clark’s 1974 horror slasher, Black Christmas. No shadowy corner goes unexplored - from the infamous phone calls and sweaty piano scenes to why this ’70s classic still shapes modern slasher cinema.
Along the way, Victoria gets lost in the mystery of calling between phones inside the same house, while Hannah frets over the wellbeing, and ultimate fate, of Claude the Cat. Peer behind the curtain of this essential horror film - it’s the perfect festive fright for a cold and wintry night…
