Happy Spook-tober! Peacock just added new Halloween movies and it inspired me to revisit an old favorite. I sat down with my notes and the original Friday the 13th from 1980.
Here are 20 thoughts I had while watching Friday the 13th.
- Friday the 13th has such an epic opening. They introduce us to the Jason Voorhees music in a way that makes it hard to ever forget.
- The “campy” way it was shot to expose the first murders was so memorable but I do wish there was a little more blood and gore.
- This random stray dog couldn’t bother to tell the woman looking for Camp Crystal Lake to go home?!
- Why don’t people listen when they’re warned in horror films? Why can no one stay away from Camp Crystal Lake?
- “Dumb kids, know-it-alls.” The bus driver just dropped a truth bomb.
- The costumes must have been affordable for this movie. Just a lot of short jean shorts.
- He really just shot her with a bow from less than a foot away. Ouch.
- Jason picked up a hitchhiker. We know how this ends.
- That snake scares me as much as Voorhees. I’d definitely be out after seeing it.
- Once again, they were warned about Camp Crystal Lake! WHY AREN’T THEY LISTENING?
- You’ve got to love a young Kevin Bacon.
- This girl really just said she hated Monopoloy? That’s a cause for death, Jason.
- Oh, now we’re talking about Strip Monopoloy? I’m listening.
- Well, it was nice while we had Kevin Bacon. That’s one of the best horror movie kills, though. (This is not up for debate.)
- Jason’s music will forever send chills down my spine.
- If I am in the woods and someone screams, “Help me,” I will never help.
- “Trust me” are words you should never believe when someone says them in a horror movie.
- Momma Vorhees is not a pleasant woman. Poor Jason.
- The fighting between Jason’s mom and this woman is horrendous. And this is going on way too long.
- I wish I saw that ending in theaters because I am sure the crowd let out a HUGE gasp! Wow.
