Brian Huntley

**Brian Huntley** is the secondary antagonist in Black Christmas (2019).

## Biography

Brian became the current DKO fraternity president and raped a student named Riley Stone from the College's MK sorority. Brian and his friend Phil McIllaney discover that Professor Gelson had stolen the university founder and notorious misogynist Calvin Hawthrone's bust and he has the both of them join his cult. The two of them help Gelson create a petition, requesting to move away the bust from the main building and another requesting that Gelson is fired due to his refusal to teach books written by women.

Later on, Gelson discovers a magical liquid inside the bust that can mind-control any boy into killing women. Gelson then has Brian and Phil get a bunch of college boys and then possess them with the magic liquid, which they manage to kill one of the sorority sisters named Lindsay.

The group arrives at the DKO fraternity where Riley catches a glimpse of a strange ritual involving new pledges for DKO and a black goo leaking out of the Caleb Hawthorne bust. She also stumbles across Helena about to be sexually assaulted by one of the frat boys. Riley intervenes and sends a tipsy Helena home. Riley takes Helena's place in the talent show and upon seeing Brian in the crowd, performs a song with her sorority sisters blasting the rape culture at the fraternity and stating that Brian did rape Riley. The girls leave in high spirits and Riley bonds with Landon. Meanwhile back at the MKE house, Helena is abducted by Lindsey's attacker. The next day the girls start to receive threatening DMs from a Caleb Hawthorne account such as what Lindsey had received before she was murdered. Meanwhile, sorority sister Fran is also killed by the masked man. Concerned that Helena has seemingly not gone home to her parents like planned, Riley alerts campus security who are apathetic and assume Helena has run off with a boyfriend. After a strange encounter with Gelson outside the DKO fraternity where she finds a list of the MKE girls among some papers he dropped, Riley returns home.

Later on, Brian and Phil lead a bunch of men dressed up as Dekes and kill many people (including sorority sisters: Jesse and Marty, Marty's boyfriend Nate and officer Gil O'Leary) and they manage to capture Riley.

Riley awakens to be confronted by Gelson, Brian, and the DKO frat boys who have brainwashed Landon. Gelson explained that after Kris forced the bust's relocation to the fraternity, the fraternity discovered Hawthorne's plan, involving a spell and the black goo, to keep unruly women in check. The goo allows the spirit of Hawthorne to possess the fraternity's pledges and send them out to murder any women that stepped out of line. It's also revealed that Helena has been secretly working with the fraternity and stole several items from her sisters that allowed the possessed pledges to easily locate their targets. One of the pledges murders Helena despite her willingness to be a "good woman" to the frat as a show of power to Riley. Brian forces Riley to bow to him, but she plans to attack him; at the same moment Kris and Lindsey's surviving sorority sisters enter and fight the fraternity.

## Death

After Riley destroys the bust, the girls lock the doors of the burning collage, killing Brian and the other Dekes.
