Watching "Black Christmas" Again

kybearfuzzIt's another one of those nights. I broke out my comic book journal and started jotting down plot lines for my next couple of issues of my comic. I wasn't sure what to watch on TV, so I just put the Blu-Ray of "Black Christmas" (1974) in the player and watched it.
It seems that no matter how many times I watch the movie, there's always something new I failed to catch before. I think part of that reason is that I often "listen" to a movie while drawing or writing, instead of watching the movie. Tonight, I was watching it a bit more and got drawn into figuring out the layout of the sorority house where everything takes place. It's actually a real house in the Toronto area and has had a few minor remodels over the decades.
It's been 40 years since the movie was released and the writer/director died in a car accident a few years back. I think the movie could have had a sequel made, seeing how most of the original actors were killed off, but the surviving ones are still around. John Saxon, who was the Lt. Fuller, is still kicking and I can see him leading an investigation out of retirement in a follow-up movie when the killer resurfaces or something. I can practically guarantee that it would never happen, but a man can dream.
Heck, this is probably one of the reasons that fan fiction can become so popular.
