Join us for an in depth discussion and analysis of the 1980 Classic slasher film, Friday the 13th
Dir by Sean S. Cunningham
Starring: Adrienne King, Kevin Bacon, Betsy Palmer, Jeannine Taylor, and Harry Crosby.
This is our special Friday the 13th episode because it happens to actually fall on Friday the 13th!!
*Spoiler Alert* - Full synopsis and behind the scenes morcels included.
Scare-o-meter Ratings:
Tasha - 1.5 skulls
Julia - 1 skulls
Consensus: Although it spawned 12 sequels of the same/similar name and a ton of slasher tropes that are still referenced and used today, the original falls a little flat under the scrutiny of todays more enlightened audiences. There are definitely some problematic scenes and questionable characters, but it's full of camp, dumb teenagers, and gore making this classic a must see for any slasher fan.
Mind the dialogue...
