Universal Studios/Blumhouse received a backlash after the first trailer was released for the film due to the extreme amount of spoilers within it.
The first "Black Christmas" film in which Bob Clark was not involved in the production process, as Clark had died in 2007. Bob Clark had produced and directed the original Black Christmas (1974), and had been an executive producer on the remake of Black Christmas (2006).
The address of the sorority house is 1974 Elm Road, both a reference to the year the original film came out and a reference to A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). John Saxon was in both films.
Aside from taking place during Christmas, featuring a sorority, a supporting character named Jesse Bradford (in reference to Black Christmas (1974) protagonist Jessica Bradford) and the main characters being college students, this film shares no connection to any previous Black Christmas film in terms of plot.
This is the second remake of Black Christmas (1974). Only 13 years separates this and the 2006 remake compared to the 32 between the 1974 and 2006 versions.
