Billy (Black Christmas) vs. Billy Chapman

## Description

*These two mentally disturbed slashers are ready to bring some festive chills to the holiday season.*

## Interlude

Hiro: Christmas, a time to celebrate love, family, and happiness.

**MBStarscream: But for these guys, it's just another day of killing for them.**

Hiro: Billy, the sorority house killer of Black Christmas.

**MBStarscream: And Billy Chapman, the killer Santa of Silent Night, Deadly Night.**

Hiro: I'm Hiro Hamada.

**MBStarscream: I'm MBStarscream.**

Hiro: And it's our job to examine both warriors' strength, abilities, weapons, and weaknesses to see who would win in a fight.

## Billy (Black Christmas)

Hiro: It was winter break on #6 Belmont Street, and a group of sorority sisters were having a Christmas party at Pi Kappa Sigma, but their whole night was about to turn upside down.

**MBStarscream: It started with an obscene phone call from someone who had called the sorority before, who threatened to kill them. One of the sorority sisters, Clare Harrison, wanted to leave after that phone call and went upstairs to pack her things, but someone was up there waiting for her.**

Hiro: Someone who, unbeknownst to anyone, had climbed the exterior of the sorority house and entered the attic to harass them over the phone. Someone only named... Billy.

**MBStarscream: Well, *that's* a lackluster name for a deranged Christmas killer.**

Hiro: "Billy" would go on to pick off the residents of the sorority house one by one, leaving only Jess Bradford and her overbearing boyfriend Peter Smythe, who the latter mistook for the killer and beat to death with a firepoker. The police would subsequently put a shaken Jess to bed and leave her alone in her bedroom... with Billy still in the house.

**MBStarscream: Oops.**

Hiro: While little to nothing is actually *known* about Billy, we can infer clues about his backstory through the disturbing phone calls he made to the sorority house, and it's even implied that he once lived in the house with his parents and a younger sister named Agnes, due to the toys seen in the attic of the house and the fact that Billy had already been calling the house prior to his murder spree and even knew the address.

**MBStarscream: Furthermore, it's implied through dialogue that Billy had committed other crimes before his initial killing spree, such as the murder of a local girl in a park and the rape of another young woman weeks earlier. Bob Clark himself revealed in a documentary for the film that Billy was the mentally unstable son of two parents, whom he murdered on Christmas Eve. He then locked his younger sister, Agnes, up in the basement, but she escaped and went to the police, resulting in him being sent to a psychiatric hospital.**

Hiro: And if Billy couldn't have a happy Christmas, why should these sorority sisters who were partying in what was his childhood home?

**MBStarscream: Lucky for Billy, and unlucky for his victims, he's got plenty of ways to knock 'em off. He's extremely stealthy, able to sneak around the sorority house, somewhat out in the open, even when the sisters know he has been killing and watching them. He was also able to avoid detection while killing the sisters, and he was able to trick Jess into thinking her boyfriend was the killer.**

Hiro: Due to the fact he doesn't carry around any weapons, he uses the objects in his surroundings to commit some of his murders, which can include anything from plastic bags to a crane hook to a glass unicorn figurine. He's surprisingly strong to boot, able to overpower and kill college girls while seemingly unarmed, and swing a hook hard enough to impale and lift an overweight adult woman.

**MBStarscream: He's fast enough to blitz the sorority sisters and even a police officer, killing one to prevent him from interfering in his murder spree, and he's real good at impressions while on the phone, often alternating between voices and personalities. He can even mimic a cat to lure in his victims, or squeak and snort like a pig. Creep.**

Hiro: Creep... doesn't really describe him. He's, for lack of a better term, completely insane. Murdering several innocent women, throwing bizarre tantrums, and making nonsensical obscene phone calls after each murder aren't signs of a healthy person.

**MBStarscream: In fact, he even says "Help me... Please stop me... Oh god please help me..." in one of his calls, implying that he isn't entirely in control of his actions. Even when he *does* kill, it doesn’t seem to bring him any joy and only seems to send him even further down the rabbit hole. Get this guy some help please.**

Hiro: Another weakness of Billy is his own mortality, being a normal human and all. Well, as normal as an insane murderer can get. And as mentioned, Billy doesn't exactly come prepared when on a killing spree, as any weapon he uses happens to be in his environment.

**MBStarscream: But you still don't want this guy giving you a call, because it's gonna be one Black Christmas if you're on his murder list.**

*Billy: [peeking at Jess through the door frame] Agnes. Agnes, it's me, Billy. Agnes, Agnes, don't you tell what we did, Agnes.*

*Billy tries to open the door, but Jess slams it shut on his hands, causing him to scream as Jess runs.*

## Billy Chapman

Hiro: Billy Chapman did *not* have a very happy childhood. When he was only five years old, both of his parents were murdered by a criminal dressed as Santa while Billy hid for his life.

**MBStarscream: Poor Billy grew up in an orphanage and suffered abuse from a sadistic nun obsessed with fixing the youth's behavior through punishment. At age eighteen, Billy acquired a job working at Ira's Toy Store and things seemed to be looking up.**

Hiro: However, as Christmas arrived, he found himself under increasing psychological duress, and eventually murdered his co-workers at an employee Christmas party. Billy then embarked on a murder spree on Christmas Eve, determined to punish anyone he decided was naughty.

**MBStarscream: And if you're looking for "Garbage day!", that's his brother Ricky.**

*Ricky Chapman: Garbage day!*

Hiro: As you can imagine, Billy isn't exactly right in the head, but he's got the tools to deliver punishment. Evidence of Billy's intelligence is that he had the visual-motor ability to kill his coworker with a bow and arrow despite perhaps never using one before, and he also had the lateral thinking to kill a woman by pinning her to the horns of a reindeer.

**MBStarscream: Billy is perhaps best known for his affinity for axes, but he's utilized a number of other weapons to dispatch his victims. From deer antlers to Christmas lights to box cutters, anything can be a deadly weapon in Billy's hands.**

Hiro: But weapons alone don't make Billy a formidable killer. He's strong enough to easily overpower fit humans, decapitate his victims, embed a hammer into a man's skull, and even smash through a wooden door. He's also fairly tough, taking a fireplace poker to the face and tumbling down a flight of stairs, only to get back up moments later.

**MBStarscream: It took two shotgun blasts to the back to put this guy down, and he was just about to get his revenge on the nun who abused him for so long too. In his final moments, Bill told the children of the orphanage that they were safe now that Santa was gone before passing away in front of his brother Ricky, who would go on to take over as the killer.**

Hiro: Mortality isn't Billy's only weakness. His insanity causes him to act on a whim and without planning, and the mere reminder of his parents' murder on Christmas will trigger his intense PTSD.

**MBStarscream: Just goes to show that all it takes is one bad day for someone to snap, and how some people just love tainting Christmas memories for everyone else. Fuck that killer Santa!**

Hiro: Are you talking about Billy, or...?

**MBStarscream: No, Hiro. The *other* one.**

Hiro: Oh. Well then, yes. Truly, being naughty on Christmas Eve while Billy Chapman is on the rampage is one of the worst things one can do, so stay on the good list if you want to live, because Santa Claus *will* punish you. One way or another.

*Billy Chapman: Punish!*

## Fatal Fiction

*Mario flips a coin.*

Hiro: Well, Billy has the terrain advantage over his contemporary Christmas slasher, but who will end the other's rampage once and for all?

**MBStarscream: Whoever wins is getting coal regardless.**

*Pi Kappa Sigma*

Christmas Eve night had come.

The snow fell hard on #6 Belmont Street, mixing white with the black sky above. The Pi Kappa Sigma sorority house stood still and empty, unbothered by the howling wind.

If one had looked out their window, they might have seen Santa climbing down the chimey while holding an ax in his hand.

The man who parodied the gift giver's jolly image soon emerged from the fireplace and brandished his ax as he walked through the empty sorority house, looking for someone to punish tonight.

The phone rang. Crap.

**Billy Chapman** made a dash for the nearest corner, trying to hide from whoever would come answering the phone. He waited, but no one came. The phone stopped ringing after a few seconds... and then started ringing again. Seeing as how clearly no one was here, Chapman snuck over to the phone and knocked over the handset with his ax, ending the ringing again. Just as he began walking away from the phone, strange sounds started coming out of it. Chapman stopped to listen.

All he could hear from the phone was snarling, sniveling, cackling sounds that no human should make. Having enough of this, Chapman stormed over and smashed the phone with his axe until it and the desk it was on were in pieces.

A creak came from upstairs, followed by a voice.

"It's me, Agnes..."

Someone *was* here. Messing with him.

Chapman growled. It was time to punish some naughty souls.

The stairs creaked beneath his heavy boots as Chapman ascended them slowly, ax gripped tightly in his hand. When he reached the top, he looked around for whoever had spoken.

"Agnes."

Chapman's gaze went to the half-shut door where he was sure he heard that voice again. Even from where he stood in the hallway, he could see the eye peeking out from the darkness at him.

"It's me, **Billy...**"

Chapman's grip tightened on the ax.

"PUNSHMENT TIME!" He roared, eager to spill some blood on Christmas.

**FIGHT!**

The door closed just as Chapman came rushing forward with his ax at the ready. With a mighty swing, the ax buried itself into the wood, splintering it. It only took several more swings of the ax to completely break the door down, and Chapman stalked into the room over the smashed door. He furiously looked around, but could not find a living soul in the room he had entered.

His vision was suddenly obscured, and he found it hard to breathe. All he could hear was screaming that was either his or someone else's as he struggled with someone who was forcing the plastic bag over his head, trying to suffocate him. His ax clattered to the floor as he wrestled with his unknown attacker. With a burst of fury, Chapman ripped the bag off his head and backhanded his assailant, sending them flying into a wall, squealing. Chapman reached down to pick his ax back up, but felt something sharp stab into his shoulder, making him howl in pain.

The horn of a glass unicorn figure ripped out of his flesh, and then stabbed into Chapman's lower back. Chapman drove his elbow back, hitting his attacker in the face. Picking up his ax, Chapman swung with all the ferocity he could muster, but in his stupor swung through the air instead. The attacker took the opportunity to ram the glass unicorn into Chapman's stomach horn-first, pushing him back towards a wall and pinning him there.

Chapman was able to get a good look at the man now, who glared up at him with brown eyes that seemed to glow red from barely contained rage, lust and madness.

"DON'T YOU TELL WHAT WE DID, AGNES!" The man screamed maniacally before running out of the room. Chapman ripped the unicorn figure out of his gut and threw it to the floor, where it smashed to millions of pieces. He stormed out of the room to find the man climbing an attic ladder, his rage growing at this man's audacity to retreat.

"PUNISH!"

By the time Chapman started climbing the ladder, the man had already disappeared into the attic. When Chapman peered into the room and started looking around, he wasn't prepared to see what he had found.

There were two wooden chairs in the attic, and there were two bodies with plastic bags over their heads sitting in them. Two women, one older than the other.

Chapman didn't dare move. Seeing those bodies suddenly made him feel like he had just seen his parents die all over again in that car, his trauma going into overdrive and blocking out everything else.

Until he heard a noise behind him.

Snapping out of his daze, Chapman turned just in time to see a crane hook flying towards his face.

It missed his head by inches as he ducked.

Chapman lifted his head back up to see that the hook had taken his Santa hat off, swinging back-and-forth. He caught the hook and pulled the hat off it, angrily putting it back on his head before climbing into the attic and looking around for his opponent, holding his ax.

This time, when the crane hook swung for him again, he was ready.

He turned around and swung his ax at the hook, cutting through it and sending it crashing onto the floor. It was in that moment that Chapman's foe lunged out of the darkness and grabbed the handle of his ax, causing the two killers to struggle over it. Chapman was backed up towards the attic window, which he soon crashed out of, sending him and his attacker plummeting to the snow below.

Chapman forced the man beneath him to take the brunt of the fall and pinned him down, holding the handle of his ax against his opponent's throat in an attempt to break his neck. The man who named himself "Billy" tried to push back as much as he could, his eyes looking up at Chapman with utter hatred. He managed to choke out, "Ag... nes... it's me, Billy..."

The nerve of this man to steal his name!

With a gutteral scream, Chapman raised his ax and swung it down at "Billy"'s head, cracking it open like an egg.

He pulled the ax out of his victim's skull and swung it down again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

All while screaming one word over and over.

"PUNISH! *PUNISH!* **PUNISH!!!**"

It was safe to say that "Billy" had definitely been punished tonight.

**FATALITY!**

## Results

**MBStarscream: And Merry Christmas to you, Billy! T-the Black Christmas one.**

Hiro: Now, Billy had some advantages that kept Chapman on his toes for a while. While Chapman had the brawn to take him down, Billy was more agile and flexible, and had better combat skills since he managed to kill and evade trained police officers. Both were also proficient in using the environment as weapons, but Billy lacked a trademark weapon like Chapman, whose weapon also gave him a major range advantage, allowing him to easily kill Billy up close.

**MBStarscream: Billy could use anything around him as a weapon and had better versatility in that department than Chapman, but that doesn't change that Chapman had a far deadlier weapon than any unicorn or crane hook or plastic bag could be. Plus, Chapman's taken his share of punishment, needing to be shot to be put down, while Billy has no such durablity feats to cover.**

Hiro: We *could* scale Billy to Peter, who was able to casually destroy a piano and break through a basement window, but that didn't mean Billy could put Chapman down before the opposite happened. And seeing as how Chapman has an actual durability feat and nough strength to put himself on Peter's level, there was only so much Billy could do against him.

**MBStarscream: Chapman gave Billy a Black punishment on Christmas.**

Hiro: Billy Chapman wins.
