Friday the 13th: Jason Goes to POLL

Spoilers, dude, I only saw the first one.

If Parts 2, 3 and 4 are supposed to take place on subsequent days, then which of those were on Friday The 13th?

only 2 iirc

I guess I didn't vote in this because I would've voted for Goes to Hell.

glad to know someone else on earth who likes goes to hell

that movie is a diseased dick tbf

no accounting for taste

lol soz but as soon as the medic took a big ole bite out of Jason's heart I knew it was gonna be a long 90 minutes

binge watching these now, up to VI Jason Lives.

So far I'd say 4 was the best due to more interesting characters.

V is an utter joke.

I am liking this new and improved super Jase in VI so far.

totally confused as to how Jason got to NYC though.

there's a boat

yeah, I wasn't sure how the small boat got from the lake to big boat. Guess there's some kind of river.

jason isn't generally constrained by the laws of physics by that point in the series

Doubt it will stay up long, but some psycho edited all of the movies together into one sort of coherent 85 minute movie that has every victim/camper converge on Camp Crystal Lake at once to be picked off at a crazy clip:

ok so 3-8 are all on prime and what do i have better to do with my life than rewatch the friday the 13th movies for the 2918290049th time?

but this time i came away really loving vii: the new blood. it's deeply flawed and was sliced and diced in order to get an r rating... yet it rocks??? probably the only movie in the series where there's a stronger antagonist than jason in the mix (dr. crews, the worst gaslighting piece of shit man in the world!!!!) which makes the dynamic sooo interesting; jason kinda becomes this subconscious response to one's life and pain being exploited constantly by abusive men. practically a horror essay in and of itself!

sleeping bag death forever

i also like part v now! it's so sleazy and mean and yet... the free range halfway house for teens with mental illness is a v weird place for jason to murder a bunch of people, it kind of reminds me of dream warriors for some reason? i normally don't spend a lot of time identifying with the people jason murders but in v i basically feel them all (except for the hillbillies) (god what a fucking weird movie)

lot of objectively lame things about the movie like the twist and ending with tommy jarvis' second heel turn in two movies, but i loooove the character of traumatized tommy jarvis regardless, if anything the worst tommy is part vi's horn dog dumbass who accidentally resurrects jason by impaling his dead body with a large metal pole, we all saw that one coming tommy (i love him too don't worry)

i just watched them all except for freddy v jason and imo:

6
4
1
2
goes to hell (i can't believe this movie exists)
x
manhattan
7
reboot
5
3

jason goes to hell pales in memory, i need to rewatch it but now that i have more affection for the core 8, i can no longer completely fuck with it. my current ranking:

vi: jason lives
vii: the new blood
ii
tie: jason takes manhattan / jason x (basically the same movie, boat vs. space)
iv: the final chapter
v: a new beginning
i
iii
jason goes to hell
reboot

weird that they all changed lol

oh i've seen freddy vs jason now, it's somewhere in the bottom of that ranking. i think it's fun but it's tarnished for me bc freddy makes a racist joke at kelly rowland

...and then she calls him a faggot

oh yeah! i for some reason erased *that* part from my memory. fuck freddy vs. jason (which is so so fun outside of that scene, whyyyy)

It’s jarring as hell

What I mostly remember about that film is how explicitly it emphasises (to the point of exaggeration) the sexual undertones of both franchises - Freddie’s child molestation and the virginity of the lead character - in a way that feels properly sleazy and nasty. Obv that kind of making the subtext text was what passed for clever in the 90s slashers, but it really gave that film an edge (and yeah, it is generally fun)

I do not love this franchise but I enjoyed goes to hell a lot, also whichever one has the kids in

VI, which is the best. I actually read the novelization of that one!

Hell was the only one I saw in the theaters. I did not pick a winner, but it definitely has perhaps the best cold open.

vi does a pretty great tightrope walk imo, extremely goofy and fun and meta but also straight up chilling at points, cf. the one cabin with blood spattered EVERYWHERE, anytime jason's figure looms over the kids and you wonder "is... is he going to murder children??!?!?!"

The cutaway to a kid reading no exit before bed was a good cheap lol I was not expecting, also “what were you gonna be when you grew up?”

Terry Kiser was Dr Crews in #7. A real "That Guy" actor. He was good as a corpse in the two Weekend at Bernie's films but i think i first saw him as a comedian named "Vic Hitler" iirc on WKRP.

two of my favorite moments in the whole series

vi is just an embarrassment of awesome scenes. hard rock summer in the usa

The humour in these films is usually excruciating to me so I maybe overrate it when it lands

also something i noticed recently: the only friday movies with zero nudity are i and vi

Interesting! That's like learning that "The Godfather" supposedly has no profanity (I haven't seen it for a while).

vic hitler is from hill street blues

yeah that's right, he was someone else on WKRP. Also had a recurring role early during Night Court's run.

Woltz says "son of a bitch"

I've seen these shitty movies so many times over the years, in various forms and formats, and only noticed something nuts: Jason's mom goes crazy because he died unsupervised at the camp as a kid in the late '50s. So how did Jason become a full grown adult by the second movie?

no one knows

well, also, he's a full grown adult because these movies take place in the '80s. my theory is that he didn't die and lived in the woods for 20 years, either unbeknownst to his mom or beknownst to his mom but she was still driven by the delusion that he died. this idea is sorta ventured in friday part 2

Isn’t it suggested he didn’t drown and survived as a feral youth in the woods or something?

Xp yeah that I think

I think he's actually just a very large child.

So really ... his mom was the negligent one.

xpost Like Blaster in Thunderdome?

So the deformed Jason pulling her under is assumed to be a hallucination?

Granted that makes sense because Jason or the Voorhies were never meant to be explored again in the series, originally

https://horrorenthusiast.com/index.php/bloody-tabloid/friday-the-13th-franchise/61-is-jason-voorhees-immortal-friday-the-13th-facts

It may seem odd on the face of it to suggest that he's a child, but it actually explains a lot of otherwise inexplicable aspects of the character of Jason Vorhees, like why he's always skipping and asking passersby for a lolly.

Jason vs Thunderdome was clearly the best of these

He's also like Evil Sloth, maybe.

So the deformed Jason pulling her under is assumed to be a hallucination?

yes but this also makes no sense. my theory is that, despite the existence of a corporeal adult jason, the ghost of young jason haunts the lake

but these movies also don't care if they make any sense
