Bob Clark) 1974 Run Time: 89 minutes Mimi's Rating: 4 creepy phone calls out of 5 Origin: Canada Christmas Spirit: 4/5 A sorority house that is being terrorized by unsettling phone calls further descends into horror when the sisters begin to be murdered by a mysterious figure. A revolutionary slasher from before slashers were even a thing, this movie is an all-time classic of the genre. Bob Clark also brought us the beloved A Christmas Story - so you know he's got the holiday vibes down pat. Some of the tropes might seem familiar to modern audiences, but this movie does them so well that it's definitely worth a watch. 2. Jack Frost (Dir. Michael Cooney) 1997 Run time: 89 minutes Mimi's: Rating: 4 hairdryers out of 5 Origin: USA Christmas Spirit: 5/5 Serial killer Jack Frost...
