10 Slasher Movies That Never Got A Sequel (But Should Have)

10. Black Christmas

It's kind of strange that Halloween and Friday the 13th received so many sequels, yet Black Christmas never even had one. After all, it's arguably the first slasher movie ever made, and even all these years later, it's still one of the best. 

The film follows a group of sorority girls who begin receiving threatening phone calls from a strange man, something which later became a huge cliche. From there, the girls are picked off one by one and the authorities try to figure out who the killer is. All of the tropes of the slasher are there, right down to the POV shots of the man approaching the girls ready to strike. It's also got the trope of the killer still being out there at the end, perfectly setting itself up for a sequel.

Yet no sequel was ever made, and now Black Christmas is just a standalone little oddity. There would have been so much potential to develop the storyline over the course of a few films, and in fact, Bob Clark once said that a sequel would follow the killer escaping from a mental institution and returning on a different holiday. When Clark scrapped that idea, John Carpenter made his own film based on the concept: Halloween. 

In some way, then, fans did actually get their Black Christmas sequel, just in a very unexpected form.
