Bob Clark's Black Christmas (1974) predates Halloween by four years and established many slasher conventions: the killer's POV shots, the final girl, the calls coming from inside the house, and the holiday setting. The film's obscene phone calls—performed by director Clark, actor Nick Mancuso, and an unbilled woman—were so disturbing that the actors sometimes broke down crying between takes. Margot Kidder, Olivia Hussey, and Andrea Martin deliver strong performances as sorority sisters terrorized during Christmas break. Clark was later asked to make a sequel and suggested setting it on Halloween with Michael Myers as the killer—an idea he passed to John Carpenter when he moved on to direct A Christmas Story instead.
