Bob Clark (who’s sadly no longer with us, following his death in a car accident in 2007) was a fan of Christmas – his affectionate and hilarious homily to his own childhood Yuletide, A Christmas Story (1983), was preceded by Black Christmas (1974), which in turn, preceded the stalk ‘n’ slash craze of the late 1970s and 80s, the origins of which are invariably attributed to John Carpenter’s superb Halloween (1978) or Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th (1980), which is really not very good at all, but is fondly remembered by horror hounds such as myself as THE must-see movie of the early 80s’ burgeoning UK home-video market.
