Director Adam Marcus Talks Jason Goes to Hell on it’s 30th Anniversary! 

Adam Marcus talks about his attempt to take the beloved eighties slasher franchise and bring it smashing into the nineties.

Trash-Talking the 2024 NCAA Tournament "Sweet Sixteen"

Now that we are past the first and heading head-long into the second weekend of the NCAA Basketball Tournament, some of you may be happy with your bracket, and some are lamenting the fact their brackets are so much smoldering wreckage. That would be me…Kentucky and Baylor on Monday Night? What the fuck was I thinking? I’m blaming low blood sugar. Excuses aside, and no matter which side of the…

Cuck(2) detected

Ok so me and @val-of-the-north consumed mushrooms from Willem's back and decided to brainstorm the Old Gods family tree! This was fun! Maybe some things will get reviewed later, but for now we good!

1) It was initially Val's idea that Caitha was Nito's daughter as someone closely tied to death, as well as he pointed out Pinwheel's masks actually must refer to Nito's family! Nito has an empty coffin nearby, and there is even a smaller coffin hidden.. So yeah. Father, mother and child! I pointed out that since Nito was not a God but Caitha is, it was the mother who had to be a Goddess- and it is further backed up by how Mask of the Mother sticks out in comparison:

Father and Child look like just people, but Mother looks odd. I offered the idea that her quirk had to be connected to the water, since Caitha's quirk is tears of grief (death + water)! Her mask's design also features water waves motifs! o: (also I guess Nito had curly hair when he was alive XD)

2) We really liked the idea that whenever God has a child, they combine quirks of the parents, so there are other children! Gwynevere = Light + Love, Nameless King = Light + Justice as that kind of noble warrior associated with crows and what not, so this is general principle we follow mostly to detect parents

3) We are still not sure of the level on which Dancer, Rosaria and Queen of Lothric descend from Gwynevere, so the lines aren't clear! Dancer would be at least not a bastard kind of descendant since she is of royal family, so, from marriage!

4) Not sure of the exact specifics on Seath, it can be strange dragon genders or some soul fuckery, but we honestly tried to find another explanation for dragon blood of Gwyndolin, Priscilla and Yorshka and could not.. He is just the only dragon character relevant, and don't mind Gwyndolin being a sorcerer, and also the Moonlight butterflies stuff

5) Seath is the only white dragon and Priscilla is explicitly stated to be pale too, so we think it is safest to assume she is his daughter! She is also stated to be a bastard in Japanese original, so, illegitimate child of a royalty. Lifehunt ability then comes from Caitha's genes! We decided Priscilla was abandoned at infancy, clutching that doll, but we aren't sure yet whether her and Yorshka are non-identical twins only one of which shown fearsome ability potential right out or Gwyn just discovered a huge cuck fetish JHSDFFHDSHFS The thing here that puzzled me is that we receive Lifehunt ability from Soul of Aldrich in DS3, referring to him seeing 'pale girl in hiding' (Yorshka) after consuming Gwyndolin! That'd mean either that Gwyndolin had the gene too (connecting it to Seath then since Priscilla and Yorshka are no gods, ie the shared parent is not Gwyn), or that it was envisioned through sort of 'clairvoyance' from memory about Yorshka. Bro already envisioned Age of the Deep coming, so why not stop at the latter here?

6) Shira stated to be daughter of the Duke, which Val double-checked that shared symbols with Seath's title! The characters known with that status are Seath himself and that guy who is relevant to Seath, so sure, why not say the accent on that status had to be deliberate..

^ would've been really sexy if the KEPT her white hair from concept art, then. I have an impression that either relation to Seath was an implication that got obscured later due to time constrains (like Fromsoft ALWAYS does and never learns from their mistakes) or it was consequences of how DS3 face model creators are infamous for doing the characters dirty. Look at what they did with Kirk. Look at what they did with Creighton and HIS wonderful white mane. Basically it is a straw we would like to grasp

_________

That's I think the gist of headcanons, @val-of-the-north might add extra details and justifications if he's willing to!

UN MARZO DE LOCURA

Sabemos que estás molesto. Los no favoritos han hecho estallar todas apuestas. Quizás es el marzo más loco de la historia.Kansas, el campeón nacional defensor, y Purdue, el sembrado número 1, se han ido: los ‘Dulces 16’ no tendrán sangre azul, Duke o Carolina del Norte, por segunda vez desde 1979.

Están advenedizos como Princeton, Florida Atlantic y un equipo elegido para terminar último en la Conferencia del Big 12.

Y, siendo marzo, por supuesto que está Tom Izzo.

REGIÓN SUR

Alabama se ha visto como el sembrado número 1 en general, superando a Texas A&M-Corpus Christi y Maryland a pesar de la agitación que rodea al programa.

Esperando a Alabama en Louisville, Kentucky, estará San Diego State. Los Aztecas, quintos cabeza de serie, son viejos y les encanta superar a los oponentes, sólo pregúntenles a las universidades de Charleston y Furman.

El segundo juego marca los primeros ‘Dulces 16’ de Princeton en 56 años. Los Tigers, sembrados números 15, tuvieron la primera gran sorpresa de marzo al derrotar al número 2 Arizona y demostraron que no fue casualidad al derrotar a Missouri.

Se enfrentan a Creighton, uno de los tres equipos del Big East en llegar tan lejos. Inconsistentes al principio, los bombarderos Bluejays y el grandote Ryan Kalkbrenner están en los ‘Dulces 16’ por segunda vez en tres temporadas después de derrotar al sembrado número 3 Baylor.

REGIÓN ESTE

Florida Atlantic ganó la batalla de los mimados del grupo al superar a Fairleigh Dickinson, el segundo sembrado número 16 en vencer a un número 1, derrotando a Purdue.

Es mejor que los Owls estén preparados para algunos moretones contra Tennessee en el Madison Square Garden en su primer ‘Dulces 16’. Los Vols, terceros preclasificados, se abrieron paso durante las dos primeras rondas, empujando a Duke después de obtener una victoria sobre Louisiana.

Compartirán la marquesina del Garden con Michigan State y Kansas State.

Los Spartans están en su mejor momento este marzo bajo la dirección del entrenador Izzo, quien ganó su juego 16 en el Torneo de la NCAA como sembrado inferior al derrotar al sembrado número 2 Marquette.

Jerome Tang está llevando al no favorito Kansas State de un Manhattan a otro en su primera temporada en la Pequeña Manzana.

Elegido último en el Big 12, los Wildcats y el escolta Markquis Nowell, de tamaño pequeño pero que no se inmutó, hicieron a un lado a Montana State y desgastaron a Kentucky para su primer ‘Dulces 16’ desde 2018.

REGIÓN MEDIO OESTE

Tang dijo que los Wildcats ganaron porque “tienen tipos”. Houston tiene algunos propios.

Los Cougars, el sembrado número 1 del Medio Oeste, han jugado la defensa de encierro que los convirtió en favoritos del Final Four al comienzo de la temporada, manteniendo a Northern Kentucky en 52 puntos y Auburn en 64.

La apuesta de los Cougars para jugar el Final Four en casa ahora se dirige a Kansas City, Missouri, donde se enfrentarán a Miami.

Los veloces Hurricanes, quintos sembrados, golpearon a Indiana con una fuerza de rebotes ofensivos, anotando 29 puntos de segunda oportunidad para llegar a los ‘Dulces 16’ por segunda temporada consecutiva bajo la dirección de Jim Larrañaga.

Otro equipo de Texas todavía está en la competencia para llegar al Final Four en su estado natal: el de Austin.

Texas, el sembrado número 2, superó el despido a mitad de temporada del entrenador Chris Beard para jugar un baloncesto excepcional bajo la dirección del entrenador interino Rodney Terry. Los Longhorns derrotaron a Colgate en la primera ronda y obtuvieron su primera aparición en los ‘Dulces 16’ en 15 años con una victoria por 71-66 sobre Penn State.

El siguiente es otro entrenador que aprovecha al máximo una oportunidad.

Despedido por Arizona hace dos años, Sean Miller volvió a aterrizar donde comenzó en Xavier. Los Mosqueteros obtuvieron su primera aparición en los ‘Dulces 16’ desde 2017 con una victoria de 84-73 sobre Pittsburgh.

REGIÓN OESTE

El guardia perdedor Jaylen Clark ha hecho poco para frenar al número 2 UCLA. Ahora los Bruins esperan que su alineación no se agote más después de que el escolta clave David Singleton se lesionara el tobillo al final de la victoria por 69-63 sobre Northwestern.

UCLA todavía tiene a Jaime Jaquez y Tyger Campbell, lo que les dará al menos una oportunidad de vencer a Gonzaga en Las Vegas.

Hubo rumores de mitad de temporada de que los Zags estaban en un año malo. Un octavo viaje consecutivo a los ‘Dulces 16’ con Mark Few los puso a descansar.

Dos entrenadores con apellidos familiares se enfrentan en el otro partido de Sin City.

Eric Musselman, hijo del veterano entrenador de la NBA y la universidad Bill Musselman, ha demostrado sus habilidades como entrenador al llevar a Arkansas a los ‘Dulces 16’ por tercera temporada consecutiva. Los Razorbacks llegaron allí derrotando al cabeza de serie Kansas que hizo que Musselman se quitara la camisa, nuevamente.

El padre de Danny Hurley es un entrenador de la escuela secundaria del Salón de la Fama, su hermano es el líder asistente de todos los tiempos de la NCAA. El hijo de Bob y el hermano de Bobby han revitalizado UConn, llevando a los Huskies a los ‘Dulces 16’ por primera vez en nueve años. (Associated Press)

Campbell Jr. Stunts: Teddy Mangean Assistant Director: Arthur Siteman Sound: Phil Brigandi Special Effects: Donald Steward Camera Operator: Landon Arnett Stunts: Russell Saunders Special Effects Technician: Thol Simonson Stunts: Bill Lewin Movie Reviews: John Chard: There are no enemies in science, only phenomena to be studied. The Thing from Another World is set at The North Pole and finds a bunch of U.S. airmen, scientists and a journalist getting more than they bargained for when they investigate a space craft frozen in the ice. What is most striking about the film is the basic human story of team work, the pulling together of mankind during a crisis, this theme is a big shift from the short story by John W Campbell Jr. (Who Goes There?). Where that story and later John Carpenter’s wonderful remake focused on paranoia and mistrust, this film is something of the “polar” opposite (literally) as regards the group in peril. It bears all the hallmarks of producer Howard Hawks, who clearly influenced Nyby’s direction. The script, with its pros and cons of a military and scientific society, is very much of its time, blending po-faced observations with straight backed joviality. But this all works in the film’s favour and helps define it as one of the most important science fiction pictures ever made. Along with the other major sci-fi movie of 1951, “The Day the Earth Stood Still”, “TTFAW” firmly brought the visitor from outer space idea into the public conscious. But where the former film intellectualised the alien visitor, resplendent with a message of worth, the latter is about terror, pushing forward the notion that the visitor here is a monster that wants to drink our blood and attempt World domination. No major effects work is needed here because one of the pic’s highlights is only glimpsing the creature (James Arness) in little snippets, and this after we are made to wait for some time before things really kick off. This begs us to think for ourselves as regards this stalking menace, putting us firmly with this intrepid group of people, and we want to see them survive and we do care if they can or do succeed. The low end budget doesn’t hamper the atmosphere or flow, in fact Nyby, Hawks, cinematographer Russell Harlan and music maestro Dimitri Tiomkin, work wonders to ensure there’s a level of authenticity to the Arctic base and that peril is never far away. Not hindered by many of the clichés that would dominate similar themed genre pieces that followed it, film neatly taps into fears that were to become prevalent as the 1950s wore on. It may not be perf...

Sweet 16 Friday Matchups

The first game on Friday features NC state vs Marquette. NC state is hoping to continues its cinderella run, but I think that will be tough against a very complete Marquette team. Then we Gonzaga vs Purdue, I am very high on this Gonzaga team and think that they have the tools to upset Purdue. I think it will be a very good game and I am looking forward to it. The two late games will be the best. First we have Duke vs Houston, this duke team is very good and very hot right now. I think that Houston is a very good team and has a chance to make a deep run that will be a good game. Creighton vs Tennessee has the chance to be very good. I would expect fireworks in that game. We are shaping up for a great weekend of basketball!

As a lot as I wish to say Iowa State would problem the Huskies extra, I nonetheless would moderately play the Cyclones than 2-seeds Tennessee or Arizona.

Ranking The Friday The 13th Films From Worst to Best - Part 1

Freddy Kruger. Michael Myers. Pennywise. Leatherface.

Jason Voorhees.

It has been over ten years since the last time fans were able to go to a movie theater to watch a new Friday the 13th film.

In the 1980s, the Friday the 13th franchise and its star, Jason Voorhees, were embedded in the pop culture zeitgeist, releasing eight films in the decade.

In this series, we look back at the franchise and rank all 12 films from worst to best based purely on this writer’s opinion. Friday The 13th wasn’t a franchise that I grew up watching, so the level of nostalgia for the films is minimal.

In this ranking, we will not be including Womp Stomp Films' fantastic Friday The 13th fan films, Never Hike Alone and Never Hike In The Snow. If they were included, they would be ranked near the top as their quality is top-notch.

Let’s get started!

12. JASON GOES TO HELL: THE FINAL FRIDAY

RELEASED: AUGUST 13, 1993

DIRECTOR: ADAM MARCUS

New Line Cinema’s first foray with the Friday The 13th franchise turned out to be a bit of a mess. New Line Cinema was able to acquire the distribution rights to the series; however, Paramount was able to keep the score used throughout the films and the usage of the name “Friday The 13th”.

Jason Goes To Hell used first-time director Adam Marcus to lead the franchise into a new direction utilizing the bloodline of Jason Voorhees.

This film has the least amount of Jason than any other movie in the franchise (with the exception of Friday The 13th Part V) as he is killed within the first half-hour. His essence or spirit is then transferred from one person to another.

The score and the way the film is shot are its lowest points. The film resembles one made strictly for late-night television on channels like HBO or Cinemax.

The Unrated version of the film is the preferred version of the movie, allowing for some of the most gruesome kills in the franchise, including impalement via a signpost.

Also, the character of Creighton Duke, played by Steven Williams, is one of the most memorable characters in the entire franchise with his over-the-top dialogue.

The gore and some of the characters don’t make up for most of the film, having subpar acting and a convoluted and confusing plot.

Jason Goes To Hell is likely to remain the movie best known for having a Freddy Kruger cameo in its ending. The film is hard to love, even for the franchise’s most dedicated fan base.

11. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VIII: JASON TAKES MANHATTAN

RELEASED: JULY 28, 1989

DIRECTOR: ROB HEDDEN

The eighth installment in the Friday The 13th franchise suffered from a severe amount of series fatigue. The film incorporated a plethora of new elements to the Jason Voorhees character with varying results.

Many fans know the movie as the “Jason on a boat” film as most of the film takes place on a cruise ship with numerous recently graduated High School students for Jason to take out.

Jason Takes Manhattan is the most extended entry in the franchise at a one-hour and 40-minute runtime. The film’s pacing drags throughout the film, making the audience feel every minute.

While many slasher films give the impression of the main antagonist teleporting as they always seem to be right behind, their victim, Jason Takes Manhattan has Jason teleporting in numerous scenes. Also, one of the main characters has visions of Jason as a child.

Friday The 13th isn’t known for its continuity, and the child version of Jason is shown to be a relatively normal child without any physical deformities.

The film has two things going for it. The first is an iconic shot of Jason Voorhees in the middle of Times Square in New York, although most of the film’s New York scenes were filmed in Vancouver, Canada.

The second is the rooftop boxing kill, where Jason punches the head off of Julius, played by V.C. Dupree, who attempted to fight Jason one-on-one with no weapons.

While Jason Takes Manhattan has its fair share of memorable moments, its overlong runtime and oftentimes ridiculous plot make it one of the worst entries in the franchise. It’s one of the few Friday The 13th films that can be described as boring.

10. JASON X

RELEASED: APRIL 26, 2002

DIRECTOR: JAMES ISAAC

Most of the time, when a horror franchise ventures outside of the planet Earth, it tends to be one of the worst entries.

Jason X has the look and feel of a film produced by Syfy, similar to movies like Sharknado, filled with soap opera-style lighting and cringe-worthy dialogue.

Set in the future in the year 2455, Jason X takes place in a spaceship traveling to Earth 2 after an excavation mission from a group of students on the original Earth who find Jason frozen in a facility.

While most of the dialogue is cringe-inducing, the characters in the film play up the comedic tone of the film, making for a fun viewing experience.

The highlight of Jason X comes when he is first awakened on the spaceship and delivers one of if not the best kill in the entire franchise. He puts his would-be victim’s head into a sink full of liquid nitrogen, freezing the victim’s head, which he then proceeds to smash to pieces.

Jason X is the lowest-grossing film of the series, coming out at a time when Jason’s standing as a horror icon was diminished.

The film is a fun viewing experience if you are looking to kill a few hours, but even with there being an uber version of Jason, Jason X feels like a film with no real identity and doesn’t know what it wants to be.

9. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3

RELEASED: AUGUST 13, 1982

DIRECTOR: STEVE MINER

The third Friday The 13th film stands alone as the only movie in the franchise made to be specifically seen in 3D. There are many shots that are intended to be seen in 3D throughout the film, and watching them today feels outdated.

This is also the first Friday The 13th, to have the same director as the previous film, Steve Miner. The film takes place just a day after the events of the second installment as it shows some news footage describing the murders from the previous movie.

The plot doesn’t feature your typical camp counselors but instead follows a group of friends heading to a friend’s cabin for the weekend.

This third entry into the franchise is best known for being the movie where Jason finally gets his infamous hockey mask.

As far as kills, the movie has two that stand out, with one character getting his head squeezed to death, ending in a 3D eyeball effect in a kill that is so bad that it turns out to be good. The best kill in the movie is when Jason takes his machete and splits a character in half who is doing a handstand.

Unfortunately, while this Friday The 13th, does have some memorable kills, it also has some of the worst acting in the entire franchise.

When the character Chilli finds Shelly dead, she runs away, yelling in what can only be described as a comical attempt at being scared.

“Oh, God, No. Shelly’s Dead. He’s Dead. Oh my god. Oh my god.”

Much like the beginning of the movie using footage from the second film, the ending of part three is similar to the original Friday The 13th, with the corpse of Ms. Voorhees taking in the final girl, Chris, played by Dana Kimmell, into the water in what turns out to be just a dream.

The third Friday The 13th, feels like a film that can only be loved by those who grew up with movies.

Ranking The Friday The 13th Films From Worst to Best - Part 2

In the second part of this three-part series ranking the Friday The 13th franchise, we take a look at a majority of the first few films.

Many of the films in this portion can be interchanged with one another as this group of movies has many similarities. Some of the films could go down in my rankings in the future should I re-watch the series again in the near future.

It’s possible that a majority of Friday The 13th enthusiasts may find issues with this part of the list, as these films were not ones that I watched growing up. There is no nostalgia for these movies, and these rankings are based on how I feel about the movies in the present day.

Let’s Start Part Two!

8. FRIDAY THE 13TH

RELEASED: MAY 9, 1980

DIRECTOR: SEAN S. CUNNINGHAM

The original Friday The 13th is a monumental film in horror movie history as it helped spark the slasher movie craze that was prominent throughout the 1980s.

It was initially meant to be a rip-off of 1978s Halloween, which would then feature an anthology series telling different horror stories with the Friday The 13th title. However, the success of the film allowed for a continuation of the Voorhees storyline throughout the series.

Many of the kills in Friday The 13th are tame for today’s standards, as many are left below screen for the audience.

However, famed special make-up effects artist Tom Savini adds his touch to the movie with some kills that still hold up today. The under-the-bed kill featuring Kevin Bacon’s character is still one of the best kills in the franchise.

The preferred version of the movie is the unrated version that has extended kills.

What makes the original stand out to this day is the final act with the battle between Alice, our final girl, and Pamela Voorhees. You see your standard final girl template with her running into dead bodies and fighting off Mrs. Voorhees.

Eventually, this leads to Alice grabbing a machete and cutting off Mrs. Voorhees’ head.

Some of the mythology here is confusing with Friday The 13th as Mrs. Voorhees is taking revenge on camp counselors for allowing her son to drown due to their negligence; however, Jason takes his revenge for the death of his mother.

Did Jason actually drown?

One of the final scenes in the movie shows Alice out in the middle of the lake in a canoe, and a moment of peace seems to pass through the film.

Then Jason pops out of the lake, dragging Alice with him.

The sequence turns out to only be a dream, but its effectiveness caused many future installments to duplicate it.

Friday The 13th, with its over-the-top characters and memorable final act, the film still holds up as one of the best in the franchise.

7. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VII: THE NEW BLOOD

RELEASED: MAY 13, 1988

DIRECTOR: JOHN CARL BUECHLER

The seventh installment in the franchise is one that could go up in my rankings as the years pass. This is the first Friday The 13th that features fan-favorite Kane Hodder playing the role of Jason.

Hodder would be the only actor to play Jason more than once throughout the franchise. He was also Jason in Jason Takes Manhattan, Jason Goes to Hell, and Jason X.

The film is known for being a pseudo-Jason vs. Carrie film as the final girl, Tina, played by Lar Park-Lincoln, has telekinetic powers. Some of the film’s best highlights feature Tina and Jason's battle utilizing Hodder’s background as a stuntman to its full advantage.

The Motion Picture Association (MPAA) almost completely ruins the film as many of the kills feature cut-away shots taking out a majority of the gore. However, this installment does feature the infamous sleeping bag kill, which has become a fan favorite and is duplicated in later films in the franchise.

The film’s low ranking is primarily due to the movie having the worst ending in the entire franchise. Tina conjures the body of her dead father out of Crystal Lake to take Jason down below in the film’s climax.

With a mostly forgettable set of characters, a majority of the kills being compromised, and a wretched ending, The New Blood is one of the most inconsistent entries in the series.

6. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART V: A NEW BEGINNING

RELEASED: MARCH 22, 1985

DIRECTOR: DANNY STEINMANN

The controversy continues as this entry is usually placed as one of the worst entries in the series.

The fifth installment of the franchise suffers from fan expectations of having Jason as the main antagonist in the film. 1982s Halloween III: Season of the Witch, which was derided for not having Michael Myers at the time, now has a cult following.

A New Beginning doesn’t have the following of Halloween III, but the movie has its moments that make up for not having the real Jason.

The film follows an adult or teenage Tommy Jarvis, played by John Shepard, who is at a camp for troubled youth. Jarvis has issues dealing with his past encounters with Jason and has sporadic fits throughout the movie.

Danny Steinmann directed A New Beginning, and with his background in pornography, there are many scenes with extended nudity. Taking Jason’s place (spoiler alert) is paramedic Roy Burns in one of the most obvious turns in history.

In the first third of the film, a character is killed at the youth camp with an ax, and it turns out that kid was Burns’. Burns then decides to dawn the hockey mask with a blue design and become a copycat killer of Jason.

Many of the kills in the film are unique, including one using a belt and a stick that is wrapped around a character’s head until he dies. Some of the characters in the movie are put in just to add to the kill count.

While Friday The 13th: A New Beginning doesn’t have Jason, the movie still feels like the standard Friday The 13th, including the kills and characters.

5. FRIDAY THE 13TH (2009)

RELEASED: FEBRUARY 13, 2009

DIRECTOR: MARCUS NISPEL

The 2009 reboot of Friday The 13th may be the most divisive film in the franchise. Like Freddy vs. Jason, the film suffers from a subpar cast and, for many, one of the worst characters in horror movie history in Trent, played by Travis Van Winkle.

The film followed a reboot renaissance from studio Platinum Dunes that included The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, bringing a more modern touch to the horror classics.

The film’s best asset falls in its portrayal of Jason, played by Derek Mears. Jason is a hybrid of the zombie Jason that was introduced in Friday The 13th VI: Jason Lives and a survivalist who sets traps and can kill in a variety of ways.

Arguably, Jason is at his most frightening in the 2009 reboot.

The highlight of the film is in the first 25 minutes, as it shows a group of friends camping as they look for a field of marijuana. Jason takes out each one brutally, including a sleeping bag kill, leaving a victim hung in the bag over a fire for a brutal, slow death.

Also, the fan-favorite bag head version of Jason makes an appearance in the film before finding his infamous hockey mask.

The plot of the film is somewhat by the numbers as Jason kidnaps one of the campers from the beginning of the movie, who resembles his mother. The girl’s brother comes looking for his sister and runs into a group of friends staying at a friend’s family cabin.

They run into Jason, and the killing commences.

While for many, the characters in Friday The 13th (2009) may make the film hard to digest, Jason and the kills in the movie make it the most accessible Friday The 13th film. This film is the Friday The 13th that you would show to someone who has never seen any of the movies and is unfamiliar with the franchise.

Ranking The Friday The 13th Films From Worst to Best - Part 3

In this final installment of my ranking of the Friday The 13th franchise, we take a look at what I consider to be the top movies in the series.

Two of the films on the list below do hold a level of nostalgia as they are the only movies I was able to see in theatres. The films that are in the top two don’t stray far from common opinions.

Watching all 12 films in the franchise has given me a new appreciation for Friday The 13th and certainly solidified Jason’s standing as a horror icon.

4. FREDDY VS. JASON

RELEASED: AUGUST 15, 2003

DIRECTOR: RONNY YU

The long-awaited battle between Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees spent a decade in development hell before finally being released in 2003.

Freddy vs. Jason was one of the most anticipated films in horror history. It had a fantastic marketing campaign that led to the film becoming the highest-grossing film in both the Friday The 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street franchises.

Admittedly, Freddy vs. Jason is a personal preference of mine since it was the first Friday The 13th/A Nightmare on Elm Street film I was able to see in theaters.

The movie premiere that I attended was filled with horror fanatics dawning all of their favorite Jason and Freddy memorabilia and clothes, leading to a fun movie-going experience where the audience loudly celebrated certain parts of the film.

The plot of the movie finds the people of Springwood, Ohio, unfamiliar with Freddy Krueger due to a pill that suppresses people’s dreams. Krueger manipulates Jason to kill people in Springwood to spread fear back in the community to regain his powers.

Jason, who is played by Ken Kerzinger, does the majority of the killing in the film. One of the kills at the beginning of the movie to a character named Trent sticks out as Jason folds him in half using a mattress.

Krueger isn’t the over-the-top, almost cartoonish character he portrayed in the latter A Nightmare on Elm Street films, specifically in the fifth and sixth entries in the franchise.

Robert Englund plays Krueger, similar to the franchise’s third installment, Dream Warriors, a blend of comedic one-liners infused with terrifying nightmare scenarios.

The weakest portions of the film come when the movie focuses on its protagonist characters. Some of these characters are the worst in the franchise, such as Kelly Rowland’s Kia and Jason Ritter’s Will. There is even one character that is a blatant rip-off of Jay from the Jay and Silent Bob movies.

There are some plot developments that make little sense, such as Jason being afraid of water, as throughout the series, Jason is shown going in and out of bodies of water.

The film’s ranking rests primarily with its third act, where Jason and Freddy battle at Crystal Lake. The action scenes between the two deliver in big fashion, with both characters having their moments.

Surprisingly, there has not been a sequel with the amount of money the movie made. Despite the film’s lower-tier characters, Freddy vs. Jason is a fun time for fans of both franchises and delivered in its most crucial act.

3. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2

RELEASED: APRIL 30, 1981

DIRECTOR: STEVE MINER

The second installment in the Friday The 13th franchise is a fan favorite that features the bag-head version of Jason. The bag-head version of Jason is a unique entry in the series and stands out for being different.

The film itself features Jason venturing outside of the Crystal Lake campgrounds to get revenge on Friday The 13th’s original final girl, Alice Hardy. We spend a few minutes with Alice before she meets her fate after finding Mrs. Voorhees’ severed head in her refrigerator and is then killed by Jason.

In this installment, we follow a group of camp counselors that are going through counselor training. Jason takes his time taking down each would-be victim, including a memorable machete to the face kill to the character Mark who is in a wheelchair.

After getting hit by the machete, Mark is shown going backward down a large staircase in the wheelchair, adding something unique to the kill.

Friday The 13th part 2 arguably features one of the best final girls in the entire franchise in Ginny, played by Amy Steel. During the climax, Ginny finds Jason’s shed and shrine to his mother in the woods.

Ginny impersonates Jason’s mother by putting on her sweater and calling his name, allowing him to be distracted enough to be seemingly killed with a machete to the shoulder.

The ending of the film shows a deformed hillbilly version of Jason blasting through a window, grabbing Ginny.

The second film hits many of the same beats as the original, but it does enough on its own that many prefer it over its predecessor.

2. FRIDAY THE 13TH IV: THE FINAL CHAPTER

RELEASED: APRIL 13, 1984

DIRECTOR: JOSEPH ZITO

The fourth installment in the Friday The 13th franchise is an amalgamation of the previous three films that combines a majority of their best elements.

The Final Chapter is the quintessential Friday The 13th movie.

With the return of Tom Savini as a special makeup effects artist, the kills throughout the film are stellar.

Similar to the Friday The 13th Part 3, The Final Chapter begins immediately after the previous film’s events.

Jason is taken to a hospital, where he is presumed to be dead. He then awakens and brutally kills his way out of the hospital to head back to his stomping grounds at Crystal Lake.

The Final Chapter follows two groups of people.

The first is a group of friends staying at a friend’s home for the weekend. The second group that is being followed is the Jarvis family, who live next door.

There is also a slight storyline that follows the character Rob, played by Erich Anderson, who is seeking revenge for his sister, who died in Friday The 13th Part 2.

The movie is best known for introducing Tommy Jarvis to the franchise, who is played by Corey Feldman. Jarvis is a unique character that could be based on Tom Savini, as he is shown to have made horror movie-quality masks.

In the age of social media, the standout star in the movie is Crispin Glover, who plays Jimmy. Glover has a scene in the film that would make Elaine from Seinfeld cringe as he shows off his dance moves in one of the most memorable and mocked scenes in the entire franchise.

Ted White, who chose not to be credited, portrays one of the best Jason’s in the franchise. One of the best kills in the film includes a twin character who is thrown out a window in dramatic fashion.

The movie’s final act features Trish Jarvis, played by Kimberly Beck, who runs the final girl circuit of discovering dead bodies one after the other. Trish does put up a fight against Jason, but it is ultimately Tommy Jarvis who puts Jason down for good.

Tommy shaves a majority of his head bald to resemble what Jason looked like as a kid, which puts the killer on hold, allowing for him to be whacked in the head by Trish with a machete.

Tommy follows up with a hit of his own with a machete that kills Jason dramatically.

Jason’s death is arguably the best kill in the film, with his head slowly going down the machete after getting hit.

The Final Chapter, for many, is the best Friday The 13th film. It features a serviceable yet memorable cast, fantastic kills, and one of the most satisfying endings in the franchise.

This film could have easily been at the top of my list, and over the years, it could end up at the number one spot.

1. FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI: JASON LIVES

RELEASED: AUGUST 1, 1986

DIRECTOR: TOM McLoughlin

Written and Directed by Tom McLoughlin, Friday The 13th: Jason Lives is one of the most unique and fun horror movies of the 1980s. The film brings forth the zombie version of Jason that is most well-known in pop culture.

The film brings back Tommy Jarvis, who wants to make sure that Jason is dead. He heads to the deceased killer’s grave and digs up the body, only to impale it with a metal rod. The metal rod is struck by lightning, and Jason is reborn.

The movie brilliantly inputs Meta elements throughout the film, blending a mix of comedy and action that make it stand out to this day.

Jason Lives is the only Friday The 13th film with no nudity and even shows kids at the camp setting. Don’t worry; Jason does not kill any children in the movie.

The kills throughout the movie are well made despite the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) editing them down to reduce the gore amount. Even the kills that are done off-screen are well made, as the film does a brilliant job of showing the aftermath of the kill.

The chemistry between the Sheriff’s daughter Megan, played by Jennifer Cook, and Tommy Jarvis allows the audience to care more about the antagonists instead of viewing them as mere fodder for Jason.

The Friday The 13th franchise is a series that doesn’t have an absolute classic film that transcends the horror genre, such as 1978’s Halloween, or 1984’s A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Jason Lives, and even The Final Chapter are the closest the series comes to having a transcendent horror film. At the very least, these films are about as good as any of the sequels in the Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street franchises.

Jason Lives is the film that I think of when I think of Friday The 13th. Undoubtedly, it is the movie in the franchise that has the most replay value and the film that I would choose to show to anyone who hasn’t seen Friday The 13th.

Let me know what you think of my rankings, and put your rankings down below.

Novena on a nocturn

The follow-up to his first solo album, Bigamy: More Songs from the Monogamy Sessions, was released on Augon Saddle Creek Records. Once this guitar fell into disrepair he played a Gibson Les Paul, he has also used a Gibson RD in the past, but has recently been using a Gibson Melody Maker. During his years with Slowdown Virginia and early years with Cursive, Kasher played a silver Gibson Corvus II guitar. His first solo album, The Game of Monogamy, was released on Octoon Saddle Creek Records. In the fall of 2009, Kasher relocated to Montana to focus more explicitly on his writing. While also working on new music with both Cursive and The Good Life, Kasher has recently taken up writing screenplays. In 2007, Kasher moved from Omaha to Los Angeles, California. Help Wanted Nights was released on September 11, 2007. The Good Life's fourth full-length album, Help Wanted Nights, was an album which Kasher wrote as a soundtrack for a screenplay which he started writing in 2006 and has since finished. After healing, recording on The Ugly Organ began. Because he lacked health insurance, Saddle Creek asked fans for donations to help pay for the cost of the operation. In 2002, Kasher suffered a collapsed lung and was forced to cancel all US tour dates at the time. He then recruited Ryan Fox, Roger Lewis and Stefanie Drootin into the band and released Black Out, Lovers Need Lawyers EP and Album of the Year. He released Novena on a Nocturn on Better Looking Records. Kasher wanted to experiment with different types of lyrics and melodies. The Good Life was originally planned to be a solo project. According to interviews, Kasher went through a bitter divorce in 2000, which led to the regrouping of Cursive, as well as providing the inspiration for The Good Life album Black Out and Cursive's Domestica. Kasher married and moved to Portland, Oregon. Kasher temporarily disbanded Cursive after the departure of guitarist Steve Pedersen (who left to pursue a law degree at Duke University and now leads the Saddle Creek band Criteria). Furthermore, Oberst later sang backup on the song "Staying Alive," from Cursive's 2003 effort The Ugly Organ. In the Bright Eyes song "Nothing Gets Crossed Out," Oberst sings, "Tim, I've heard your album and it's better than good," referring to the album Black Out by Kasher's band, The Good Life, released in 2002 on Saddle Creek Records. They grew up in Nebraska together, went to the same Catholic high school, Creighton Prep. Kasher has a very close relationship with Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes. He also made a brief appearance with the Omaha band Commander Venus and The March Hares. Prior to those bands, Kasher was in a band called Slowdown Virginia. Original drafts of all twelve tracks found on The Good Life’s beloved third album are included.Tim Kasher (born August 19, 1974) is a musician from Omaha, Nebraska, and is the frontman of indie rock groups Cursive and The Good Life, both of which are on the Omaha based record label Saddle Creek Records. Originally included as a bonus disc in the first CD pressing of Album of the Year, this is the first time that the Album of the Year demos have ever been pressed to vinyl. Both tracks that made the band’s debut album and some that didn’t can be found within this set of nine demos. The Novena on a Nocturn demos have never before seen the light of day and provide a glimpse into The Good Life in its most embryonic state. Pitchfork gave it an 8.0, while AP called it one of the “10 essential albums of 2004.” Now back in print for the first time in years and expanded to 2xLP vinyl. It also proved to be The Good Life’s most critically acclaimed album to date. Originally released in 2002, Black Out is back in print on vinyl for the first time in over a decade.Īlbum of the Year brings all that is the sound of The Good Life to fruition–catchy, moody pop/rock that fluctuates between the all-ages club and the smoky cabaret, right alongside sing-along crescendos that spin into cinematic bursts. That change makes itself apparent in this collection of upbeat, keyboard driven pop songs intermixed between sparse, vocal driven stories of drunken disappointment. Sophomore effort Black Out signaled The Good Life's transformation from Tim Kasher solo-effort to a full-fledged band. Originally released in 2000, this is the first time Novena on a Nocturn has ever appeared on vinyl.Ġ6. The debut album from The Good Life finds Tim Kasher turning away from the heavier sounds he had become known for with Cursive and achieving a new depth of voice through acoustic instrumentation and more textured soundscapes. All three Good Life reissues available in one place for $50 or add the demo LPs for an additional $25! The demo LPs are exclusive to our online store and will not be in stores.
