When it comes to classic horror, Black Christmas has become a must-watch for genre fans every December. The Bob Clark-directed Canadian slasher is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, and it's one of the rare films of its era never to get an official sequel. That's despite getting remade twice in the last 20 years. However, Black Christmas fans have no fear as writers, directors, and producers Dave McRae and Bruce Dale are back with their next film, It's Me, Billy: Chapter 2. With just two months till the sequel and final installments release, the trailer is here with a familiar face trying to hunt down the dreaded Billy.

The Black Christmas fan film It’s Me, Billy gets a sequel this coming Halloween season with It’s Me, Billy: Chapter 2, set to be the final installment of this particular fan film saga.

Written, Produced, and Directed by Canadian filmmakers Dave McRae and Bruce Dale, It’s Me, Billy: Chapter 2 picks up immediately from the cliffhanger ending of It’s Me, Billy (2021) and continues the same night.

“Jess is Alive! Hidden deep within the walls of Jess Bradford’s mansion lies the evidence that will exonerate her former boyfriend Peter Smythe and expose the real 1974 Bedford killers. Picking up immediately where chapter 1 ended, Sam and her grandmother, now trapped and alone, must fight back against the clutches of Christmas evil before they’re swallowed by its darkness.”

Black Christmas alumni Lynne Griffin, who played the strangled young Clare who met her fate with a plastic bag over her head in the original 1974 film,...

The star of classic 1970s slasher film Black Christmas is returning for a new fan-made sequel. Released in 1974, Bob Clark's Black Christmas told the chilling story of sorority sisters being stalked by a mysterious killer over the Christmas holiday. Regarded as one of the very first true slasher films, the low-budget Canadian production was unique among horror movies for never receiving an official sequel. The only Black Christmas follow-ups to reach the screen are a pair of remakes, one in 2006 and another in 2019, and a 2019 short film, centered on the granddaughter of the original movie’s final girl, entitled It’s Me, Billy.

Now the fan-made It’s Me Billy is getting its own sequel, and the production is receiving a huge boost, as original Black Christmas star Olivia Hussey is set to reprise her role. As revealed by the film’s co-directors Bruce Dale and Dave McCrae, It...

The Black Christmas fan film It’s Me, Billy is getting a sequel with the upcoming It’s Me, Billy Chapter 2: A Black Christmas Fan Film, and we’ve got some big news this morning.

Olivia Hussey will return to her final girl roots and play Jess Bradford in the short film sequel!

Directed by Canadian filmmaking duo Dave McRae and Bruce Dale, It’s Me, Billy Chapter 2 serves as the second and final installment in their Black Christmas tribute series, honoring the legacy of one of the most important characters and films in the genre.

The filmmakers said in a statement this week, “It’s Me, Billy (2021) was always designed to be the first part of a two-part story, hence the cliffhanger ending. It was always our hope that we’d get a chance to complete our vision and bring this story to a conclusion. Now is that time.

Justin Bieber's grandmother Diane Dale has a message for her grandson. "He should pick up his pants," she told me last night at the premiere of Justin Bieber's Believe (out on Christmas Day) at Regal Cinemas L.A. Live. His grandfather Bruce Dale disagrees. "I like it," he said. "I like it." Funny enough, the two weren't aware of Biebs' talent when he was just a kid. "I didn't even know he could sing until Pattie [Mallette, their daughter and Beiber's mom] told me," Diane said. "She's like, 'How could you not know? He was always singing in your basement.' I don't know the first thing about singing and neither does...

Hey, Selena would understand that the Knicks cheerleaders are getting in the way of the game.

Justin Bieber was a busy guy on the evening of Feb. 3, attending not only the premiere of his new movie Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, but also heading to a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden with his grandfather Bruce Dale. But the players weren’t the only ones on the court leaving El Biebz starstruck!

Justin, 16, looked thrilled to be watching the Knicks City Dancers during cheer routines. But he is always a young gentleman, and we’re sure Selena Gomez won’t mind too much!

Apparently Biebs is taking after such teen star elders as Zac Efron, who was spotted on Jan. 30 similarly paying attention to La’s Laker Girls.

Boys will be boys!
