Friday the 13th (1980) - Patreon Version

New comment on an old post. 😄 Huge horror fan here, and I decided to go back and watch some of your earlier reactions from before I discovered your channel and signed up for your Patreon. It's so great that you got to watch this without having the ending spoiled for you. So many new reactors go into this movie expecting the Jason we all know now and love from the newer movies and games. It's a great twist. That, and the final jump scare, are things that nobody saw coming back in the day. It's easy to make fun of a lot of the horror tropes in this movie, but many people forget that they weren't tropes back then. This movie broke a lot of ground, and so many films after it tried to copy it's success. Speaking of films that came out in it's wake, you absolutely have to watch Sleepaway Camp. I didn't see it until I was much older, and I can't believe that nobody ever spoiled the ending for me. It's a classic for a reason. Additionally, even though it's been some time now, maybe come back and watch Friday the 13th 2 through 4. There's a lot of movies in this franchise, and a lot of them... aren't great, but the first 4 will definitely get you to the Jason you know and love. 😊 I could go on and on, but one last note, the FX were done by Tom Savini, an absolute legend in horror. Look him up sometime!

Ooo yes, I'd love to see Sleepaway Camp! Maybe this spooky season we can put it on a poll. Great suggestion!

Are you going to watch part 2?
