It’s going to be a month late but we have a new book that is sure to give you chills and thrills on those cold January nights. A book that harkens back to the 1974 Slasher, Black Christmas!
Written by Paul Downey and Dave Hastings, Black Christmas Revisited will be released by BearManor Media on January 28, 2022 in hardback, paperback and e-book formats.
The book is said to be “the definitive account of all of the Black Christmas movies,” delving into the origins of Black Christmas, dating back to inspirations for the script right up until the latest reboot from Blumhouse in 2019. Including interviews with cast and crew members from all three films, It’s Me Billy will reveal stories you have never heard before from the people who were there.
