A Visit To The Set Of Black Christmas

One of the genre’s earliest slasher films was Bob Clarks 1974 classic Black Christmas.  For fans from my generation this film was notorious.  Not only was it blood drenched for the time it also took place during the holiday season which till that point was a taboo.  In this current climate of “remake-mania” it came as no surprise when the Black Christmas remake that is currently lensing in Vancouver BC was announced.  After 30 years this is one that might actually benefit from a retooling.  The folks over at comingsoon.net get to visit the set of the film and have filed an interesting report that I thought you might be interested in.  Here is a little piece of what they have posted:

The scene I watched them shoot over and over again was with all of the girls. Kelli (Cassidy) and Heather (Winstead) run into Kelli's boyfriend Kyle (Oliver Hudson) in the hallway of the house. Kelli is upset because Kyle is in Megan's room who is another sorority sister. But, the girls in the house haven't figured out yet that Megan is really missing. They just haven't seen in her in awhile.

Crystal Lowe who plays Lauren, the drunken sorority girl, explains the scene more.

"We've heard this scream and we don't know what's going on. There's been some creepy calls and we're trying to figure out what's going on right now… We're not just looking for Megan. We don't know where she's been. It's not like a hunt for her. We're just like what's up with Megan. Where the hell is she? It's kinda like that."

I was still a little confused as to what was happening so Hudson, the only male lead, was cool enough to tell me what was going on.

"I'm trying to get to Megan because we had a torrid affair months ago… I'm sneaking into the room to try and tell her something. Megan something before she finds out. And I'm caught by my current girlfriend kind of snooping around in the dark and Megan's room and she's curious as to why. I'll talk my way out of it," he said smiling.

Now I get it, but I don't know about Kyle talking his way out of anything because Kelli is upset thinking she has just been cheated on. When she confronts her boyfriend she doesn't really believe what he has to say.

"He was like, 'well your house mom wouldn't let me in' and bla bla bla. Liar! Not really buying it," Cassidy laughed.
