Watch: Black Christmas on TCM....aka brief Horror movie history lesson #1

I was just channel surfing and came across the classic Black Christmas starting up on Turner Classic Movies(TCM).  This movie is definitely a classic.  I would say it is Slayer to Halloween's Metallica.  Does that make any sense? Let me explain!

In the 80's there were a couple of kick-ass thrash bands. Slayer & Metallica.(among others) but these two were pretty much the tops as far as music quality in the genre went.  As time went on Metallica seemed to find the commercial success that Slayer never achieved, including eventually gaining crossover success with not so metal fans.  Anyways, this is a bigger discussion for another time.  Insiders will probably say Slayer was just as good if not better at their craft, and just as influential to the metal scene today(the real metal scene, that is) however the casuals who are more tourists to the genre, will mainly remember the band Metallica alone because of radio play and how much they are generally in the rotation in casual circles.

So in Summary:
