Welcome back to A Podcask of Amontillado, where we delve into the dark, dreadful, and terrifying parts of the world.
Clear waters, a peaceful forest, rambunctious teens, machetes, axes, arrows, pitchforks, and so much more. In this episode Erin & Gary get back to nature with Arcane Carolina's Charlie Mewshaw to begin their series discussing one of the most iconic 80's horror franchises, Friday the 13th.
In this first chapter, our camp counselors examine parts one through three to discuss their first encounters with the force of nature that is Jason, the killer no one expected in the first movie, how the franchise is the cheeseburger of horror, that Jason & Pamela are victims who did nothing wrong, chainsaw-adjacent tool use, the series' innovations in SFX, 80's 3-D, Jason's Elvis moment & legal troubles, their hopes & fears for the upcoming prequel series, and how these three films work as a cohesive story that build Jason into the slasher icon we know and love.
