Skip it tonight unless you're a hardcore slasher completist — this 1974 proto-slasher has historical importance as a genuinely influential Christmas horror flick, but it's slow-burn and dated, more unsettling atmosphere than thrills. If you want seasonal scares with actual punch, grab something newer.

Plot

As the residents of the Pi Kappa Sigma sorority house prepare for the festive season, a stranger begins to harass them with a series of obscene phone calls.
