Episode 45: Friday the 13th Part II (1981)

Season 2,   Sep 11, 2019, 07:00 AM

What's this? An actual Friday the 13th landing on the same month as Sequel September? Looks like you guys are getting an episode! This week the team covers the not surprisingly haphazard production of Friday the 13th Part II, directed by Steve Miner. 

This week the team explores the "surprise" franchise, and how a seemingly one off film managed to get a sequel that brought us an early version of true horror iconography: Jason Freaking Voorhees. Anthony and Alix tell a story of a pissed off MPAA, a B team with something to prove, and a lesson on why you shouldn't put stunt man on your resume... if you're not actually a stunt man (two actors played Jason). 

As always, like, subscribe, trust your local child psychologist and maybe tell a friend? A friend who likes five staring things!
