One sheet movie poster for the
1974 horror film Black Christmas. The film is considered one of the earliest and most influential slasher movies.
Poster Description
Central Imagery: The primary visual is a chilling black and white image of a person's face obscured by a plastic dry-cleaner bag, which is tightly bound at the neck. This disturbing image is framed within a large, festive green and red Christmas wreath that dominates the center of the poster.
Color Scheme: The color palette effectively contrasts the cheerful holiday colors of red and green with the stark black and white imagery associated with the horror theme.
Tagline: At the top of the poster, the tagline reads in bold black text: "If this movie doesn't make your skin crawl... It's on too tight!"
Title and Credits: The title, "Black Christmas", is prominently displayed in large red letters across a black ribbon banner near the bottom. Below this are text credits listing the cast, including Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea, Margot Kidder, and John Saxon, and the director, Bob Clark.
Film Synopsis
The movie's plot follows a group of sorority sisters who receive a series of obscene and threatening phone calls during their Christmas break. The terror escalates as the sisters are stalked and murdered by a stranger hiding in their sorority house. The film is notable for leaving the killer's identity and motive a mystery. |
