Yeah, nine is a person nine.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Hundred dollars to spend the night in one of those cabins.
I think it was like eight hundred dollars to spend
the night in a tent, right something like that.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Yes, eight hundred for the tent, nine hundred for the
cabin experience.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
And you can stay in the same cabins that they
showed in the movies.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Yeah, it's it's the actual camp is called Camp Nebasco
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
No, it's something weird ass long name.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, it's a cool.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, it's a it's a boy scout camp in northern
New Jersey. That's they filmed both of the movie or
all the movies.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
That and Hope, New Jersey, a small town called Hope,
New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah, yep.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
I saw the the signs and stuff in the movie Hope,
New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Very cool. So yeah, man, man, So.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
It's probably been a while since I saw this movie.
I did not watch the trailer ahead of time. Yeah,
it's one of those things being this movie is what
forty five years old now.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
So nineteen eighty yeh, forty fucking five years old?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, almost as old as I am. You know.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
What's funny Joe.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So remember the opening scene in nineteen fifty eight.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Where the camp the camp counselors are all singing by
the fire, and then when the two camp counselors go
take off to get it on and the girl hands
the guitar, they start singing that song hang Down your Head,
Tom Dooley.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yep. I started.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Yeah, the second I heard that, it instantly brought me
back to sixth grade, because.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
In sixth grade, I back.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
In nineteen ninety seven slash ninety eight was when I
was in sixth grade. We had this English teacher called
Missus Debnie and she's.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Probably dead by now, dude.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
She had to be in her mid to late sixties
right then, and anytime she would send anyone to the
principal's office for write a detention slip, she would.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Sing the song hang down your Head, Tom.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Dully like she would say it while she was writing
you a fucking detention slipt.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Oh, that's funny.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
So the second I heard that song, it brought me
right back to sixth grade.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I remember from I want to say, when I was
like in my late teens, I decided I was gonna
start playing the harmonica, and one of the one of
the tunes that you learn on.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Initially is Tom Dooley.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I guess it was super simple.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
I guess it was a pretty popular song back in
nineteen fifty eight.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Yeah, So as soon as I heard that, I started,
I started singing that I was making I was making dinner,
and I pause it and I walk around the house
singing Tom Dooley.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Man, I mean, I don't know, why don't you fire
away first and I'll just feed off you.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
So, yeah, we're gonna we're gonna just go ahead with
the with the whole thing, since you know, like you said.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I didn't watch trailer. You didn't watch the trailer.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
It's forty five year old movie, so it's obviously it's
it's It's in camp Camp Crystal Lake, Hope, New Jersey.
The first scene is like nineteen fifty eight, like you said,
the camp counselors, they're all singing.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Two of them sneak off to go.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
To go hook up, and that's when they're brutally murdered
with a knife and then find out later that the
year prior, was it the same year or the year prior,
Jason Borhees had.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Died by drowning the lake, while the camp counselors.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Were nineteen fifty seven, right, so.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
In a couple of years before, Yeah, you find that out.
As you go along in the movie, people start talking
about the curse of Camp Crystal Lake. They call it
Camp Blood because people kept dying there every year after
this poor boy drowned.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
And then it comes to modern times, which is it
was modern nineteen eighty right, yes, yeah, that was the Yeah.
So it comes up the nineteen eighty and there's a
guy named Steve and he's rebuilding the camp and he's
bringing in some new camp counselors. And it's Friday, June thirteenth.
(06:20):
And the first thing is there's one girl who's coming in.
She's going to be the cook, and she's hitchhiking her
way in there. And the guy, the truck driver who's
like giving her hitch up the road. He's oggling this
poor girl. And they got Crazy Charlie who's down in town.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
He starts raving about Ralph.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Crazy Ralph.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, he starts raving about his Camp Blood and there's
a curse and trying to keep people from going up there.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
And he rides away on his bicycle.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Which fun fact, he actually gets killed in the fourth one,
just throwing out.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
The yeah, Ralph actually does get at one point.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, so you see her hitchhiking. Then she gets picked
up in another in a green CJ five, which is
it looks very similar to the one that Steve's driving,
but this one's got a top on it, so it's like, okay,
they make it seem like it might be the same jeep.
They kind of hint that maybe it's Steve at first, yes,
you know, and then obviously they drive past camp Crystal
(07:25):
Lake and the girl gets out. The murderer, whoever it is,
chases the girl down cuts her throat in the middle
of the woods. You never see you never see the
person's face in that first those first few scenes. No,
and then it cuts to Kevin Bacon and a couple
of other kids riding along in a box nose Ford
(07:48):
pickup truck heading out to camp, heading out to the
camp to be counselors. They show up there and Steve
is chopping away on firewood and he starts sending people
to go do this and go do that. He's getting
he's obviously getting it prepped up. He thinks he's gonna
have a good camp summer season.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
The thing that confused me was so that the girl
that was already there, Alice.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Right, the girl that was like bringing a gutter or whatever. Yeah,
was c was that like her weightfart or something.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
It seemed like he had romantic intentions. I don't know,
seems like there's a lot of uh, there's a lot
of fooling around in this in this camp with these
counselors and peak.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Like, well it's not peap, but this is like eighty
Slasher that it oozes of sex.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Right, which was surprising because normally you think, like, okay,
eighty slasher film, Hey, if the plot's not great, just
throw some.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Boobs in there. There were no boobs, no boos. There
were no boos at all.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Deft the way to the uh it's like four or
five and six where they really started going all out
with the nudity.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, they really are. There wasn't anything in there.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
No, it would have would have been nice for a
couple of boobs, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Oh well.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Man.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
So all these kids, they they they come into town.
There's already this girl working there, Alice. Don't know if
she's uh, the only girlfriend or whatnot. It's kind of
there's kind of a some sort of sexual end window.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
It did.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
It did surprise me that they've got a girl, like
a young girl like that who is hanging gutters. I'm
doing some serious physical manual labor there.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
People were. People were more resourceful back then.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I mean, he's got them out there painting the different
painting the buildings and chopping firewood and doing all kinds
of stuff out there.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
And you won't catch too many young teens doing that
these days, right, they're too busy on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
That's quite the generalization.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
But yeah, I'm just well or whatever it is that
they do.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I don't really know.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Your said.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
The more you talk, the more older you sound like
those kids kicks and talks.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
So anyway, these kids, uh, they briefly meet the owner
and he like gives them the jiffs, like get to
work and hurry up because it's going to rain the night.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
He takes off and leaves all these kids to run
the camp and put the camp together for him, and.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
He didn't really give him any instructions of like what
to do.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Really, it's very fraud.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yeah, it just seemed like And then that's when the
mayhem started very slowly at first.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
So, yeah, we have the cook who never makes it.
She gets killed in the woods.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Then we get the Then we get the kid who's
down by the he's down by the pond, and see
somebody in one of the buildings.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Mm hmmm, you.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Don't actually see that kid get killed.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
No, but uh, later when the rainstorm really starts to
pick up and Kevin Bacon and his girlfriend in the
film Bago would decide to go into a cabin and
get it on. When they're getting it on in the bed, yeah, yes,
(12:01):
he's on the top bunk and his throat's been slashed
and he's dead.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
And that brings us to the next the next one
to die, Kevin Bacon, And that's this is this is
still the part that I remember the most as a
kid from watching this was the arrow coming.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Through the bed.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, which was awesome through his neck, like the arm
reaches around from underneath the bed. Just it's a classic
like monster hiding under the bed type type scenario.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Well, you know all the special effects, did you know this?
All the special effects in the movie were done by.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Tom Seene No, yeah, I don't know if you know
who Tom Sephenie is.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
The name rings the Bell.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
But he did all the special effects for like Dawn
of the Dead, Day of the Dead.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Like he was the it guy in the eighties for
like horror movie special effects. Very cool, like any any.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Slasher or horror movie that you can think of, can't
sleep away.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I think he worked on one of the Halloween movies
like he was. He was the rock star of slasher
movie Gore in the eighties, hands down.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
So then you get the Then you got the three
kids who are playing uh what were they playing strip.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Monopoly, strip Monopoly.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Strip Monopoly in one of the big cabins.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Yes, and gets the arrow through the throat. Hold on,
we can't skip this. Kevin Bacon gets the arrow through
the throat. His girlfriend's got to go to the bathroom.
She she ends up getting killed in the in the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
So right there, there's three three deaths right there, and
then the.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Remaining three they're playing strip Monopoly. For some odd reason,
it starts raining really hard and like they stopped the
game and one of the girls is like, I left
the windows open in my my, my cabin.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, she goes and takes off and uh, she's.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
In her cabin, something drags her outside.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Is she the one that heard the boy.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Crying yeah, help me, help me?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah? What sounded like a boy saying help me.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
And she goes outside. And because at this point somebody
killed the well, uh, I'm.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Guessing the killer killed the generator which powered the entire camp. No.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I thought the lights. I thought the lights were on
at the archery range.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Well, they turned she turned them on.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Yeah, they turned the lights on, and it kind of
like blinded the girl.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
And then like.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
This person, who again we don't know who he or
she may be, approaches this girl and the girl's not
really uh, feels threatened. And then whom she gets killed?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And then then I think at this point Alice is alone.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Right, Yeah, this might be when they go back to Steve.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
He's in the diner in town and he's talking about
going back up there, and uh, the waitress and designers
trying to get him to not drive up there in
the pouring rain because he's got he's got his jeep,
he's got a trailer on the jeep. She's like, you
know don't go back there in this weather. I think
she was like, hey, stay with me, you know, Yeah,
(15:52):
and that he had it back up there and I
don't know if it was before the next scene or not,
but he ends up, Uh, he ends up spinning the
jeep out, getting stuck in a ditch. You can't get
it started, Yes, And the shows up brings him to camp.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Yeah, And as he's walking into camp, he gets a
flashlight shine in his eyes, and.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
It's weird because he knows the person who it is.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
He's like, oh you and like he walks forward and
then boom, Like we like assume that he gets stabbed
in the stomach, you know what I mean? Yea, but
he definitely he recognizes whoever it is that's shine in
that flashlight in his face that much.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
And then then you got the other kid, the other
kid who was trying to hook up with Alice, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
The one that killed the spay for ye.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
He ends up getting killed and then he gets like
thrown through a window in Alice's cabin, which scares the
shit out of her.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
She doesn't know what the fuck's going.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
On, right, and she's under it at this point. She's
the last one in camp alive.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Mm hmm yeah, and she's so she opens the thing
and she tries to run out, and she she meets
this like who is Betsy Palmer? But Betsy's like middle
aged in this movie, probably like in the mid fifties.
I want to say yeah, and Betsy's like, oh, you know,
(17:42):
you got nothing to worry about, tear, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
And blah blah blah and uh. Which I when I
first saw this.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
I think I was like either seven or eight years old,
and it was at my aunt Mona's house.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Remember I used to tell you we used to get
a big set.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Yeah, dude, Betsy Palmer looked just like my aunt Mona.
I remember watching it and at the first time, I
like cracked a joke.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I was like, Aunt Mona, I didn't know you were
a movie star, Like.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Like shut up, but yeah, yeah that's who Carman looks
like my aunt Mona. So then we find out Okay,
so this weird middle aged lady who just happens to
be in the middle of the campground at night, comforts
Alice briefly and then goes into like this description about
(18:39):
that you know they should have never reopened this place.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
This place has been nothing but trouble and I used
to work here and you know.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Yeah, she starts talking about the counselors being distracted, talking
about the boy who drowned.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yes, and then.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
It's really that she is Jason Voorhe's mother, Yes, and
she knows the one. It's revealed that not only is
she one who's been doing the killing all day during
this movie, but she was the one who was doing
all the killing in the subsequent years after Jason's death.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Correct, she's been running around, she's been murdering all the people.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
She caused it to be camp blood.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Well, because you know her.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Her Her excuse was that her son was not a
good swimmer, and the counselors were too busy getting it
on and they weren't watching the children swim. And that's
why her only son, her only child, drowned.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Right, who was born on June thirteenth.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
On Friday the thirteenth, Yes, she.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Said this is his birthday. Yep.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Yeah, So Betsy Palmer goes full on psycho. She's had
conversations with her dead son.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yeah, you know, kill her mother, kill her. And he's like,
don't worry, Jason, I won't let her get away.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Yeah, but it was like there was more jump scares
in the last like five ten minutes of this movie
than there had been in the entire thing. And I
mean they because like the body like Alice is trying
to get away, is being chased by missus warheez, and
had like all the bodies. She just keeps running into
all her friends who are dead all over the place,
(20:30):
like falling out the trees and shit like, yeah, just
in random places, like one of them, the girl in
the archery on the archery field, she was full of arrows.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
You know, people with their throats cut and stabbed in
the stomach, you know what.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
One kid like she opened a door and like flung
upside down, Yeah, which was pretty cool, but I I
just don't see how a middle aged woman could.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Hang a full grown, I don't know, twenty something year old.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Boy upside Don't like.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
That, right, And so she chases Alice for a while,
and Alice eventually is able to get away from her,
either stop her or get away from her.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I can't remember what she did. She didn't kill her, but.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
There's a lot of back and forth, Like she she
gets on top of her and she's trying to stab her.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
And she like each other. She's hiding in closets and.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
She at one point she waxed her with a pretty
good frying pan in the head.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
So there's a lot of fighting back and forth, and
then finally they're on on the shore of the lake
and there's a big fight scene and they scramble and
the machete goes flying. So Missus Voorhes has the machete
and the Alice the final girl. Yeah it gets the
(22:03):
knocks her down and gets grabs the machete off the ground,
and as Missus comes plunging at her again, she cuts
her head.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Off, chops her head straight off. Yeah, yeah that part.
I forgot about that part.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
And then, for some odd reason, I have no idea
Alice she gets in a canoe. She gets in a
canoe and just decides to float out into the middle.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Of the river.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I was seriously, I'm watching that and I'm like, where
are you going right now? There's nothing on the other
side of that lake. The camp is I'm pretty sure
the camp is the only thing on that lake, you know, Like,
where the hell are you going in a canoe?
Speaker 5 (22:44):
And then we get the the trippy seventies because I mean, look,
this movie's eighties, but it's still got a lot of seventies.
So there's that trippy like end of music. Everything's good
like end of the movie, like you know, the good
(23:04):
guys that hit the cops finally show up.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, the cops come rolling up. They drive right up
to the shore, the lake.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Shore, and see her out in the middle of the
lake in the canoe and she kind of wakes up,
comes to.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
And she's like waving towards them, and they're waving back,
and you're like, oh, it's finally over.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
And then all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
My boy comes up out of the lake. He grabs
her and drags her back onto the water.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Bro, I'm not gonna lie. The fucking first.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Time I saw that when I was a kid, I
think I shipped my pants.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah, like I it's been so long as I see
in this movie, I forgot that happened. But I knew
it as soon as as soon as I started like
waving from the canoe, I was like, oh, this is
when Jason comes out of the water, isn't there.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Yeah, But dude, that that fucking scene caught me up
guards so much when I first saw that movie.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, it scared the fucking shit out of me.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
And then she wakes up and she's in the hospital. Yeah,
and she starts asking the cops like, what happened to
the boy? Where's the boy? Did you find the boy?
And they're like what what fucking what boy?
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Well, before she says that, she says, you know, is
there anyone alive?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Yeah, and they're like no, they're all dead. Yeah, I'm
the only one. And they're like yeah, and she's like, well,
what about the boy? They're like, what boy? The boy?
The boy in the lake? There was an old boy
in the lake. And then then it.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Cuts to She's like, that means he's still there.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
He's still there, still.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
There in a weird, creepy fucking boys.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yeah, he's still there.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
And then it cuts to the lake and that's the
end of the movie.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, it's a good movie.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
So here's my question is, seeing that it's a forty
five year old movie, does it does it still hold up?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Does it still hold water?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
For a better lack of a better term, there's.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Some there's some cheese to it, but I don't know.
I think it does. I think it does.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Dude, you know what, I you know what, I found
myself kept saying during this the whole movie, like, especially
in the beginning, especially when the girl's hitching a ride
the truck driver, I'm like this, this movie's this movie's
problematic for for this day and age, like there is
so much, so much stuff that is inappropriate, well like
(25:42):
compared to nowadays.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
You know how tame we are.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Is the girl in the beginning who's hiking in.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
The town, It's like Jesus Christ, her fucking parents couldn't
drive her to the fucking.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Camp, right, Yeah, she's just.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Yeah, well, what twenty thirty miles to the camp site.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I mean she didn't even make it to the camp, Like.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
No, I mean they drove out and that That's what
what alarm TERR was like.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
When they got to the turn where.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
The camp was, Yeah, that she didn't go down there.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
She was like, you missed the turn, and like she
kept speeding up.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
She's like, I think you need to stop.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
So obviously the mother of the killer had been telling
Steve not to open the camp up.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Because, like you said, he knew her, he recognized her.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
Yeah, I would say yes and no, it holds up
as is it a good slasher, sure, yeah, holds it.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
But I mean there's still some kind of like cheesy
predictability to it.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yeah, I mean it's not it's not super gory.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Not super gory.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
The special effects are very tame and in regards to
like what they're like now by today's standards, they are good.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
They look they look real, they look pretty convincing.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
I mean, if you were to see this nineteen eighties
or nineteen eighty like in the theater, this is pretty good.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Ship.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yeah, I think it was good. I think it's still
I think it's still a good movie.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
And I like the fact that there's such a big
following with you know, with the Campion sold out for
June thirteenth this year.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
And so many people who.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Everybody, I think everybody on the face of the fucking
planet probably knows who Jason Boyes is. Yeah, you know,
but like so many people forget that that the first
the first Friday the thirteenth was and Jason, it was
Jason's mother.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Yeah, I mean, I think I think most big fans
know it by now, But yeah, I remember that when
they they kind of brought Jason out as the bad
guy in later in later movies.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Oh, he's in. He's in the second one all the
way through.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
In fact, he has his own little like shack and
it's like weird trying that he like with candles that
he builds around his mother's decapitated head.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
No, it's weird.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah, have you seen the other ones.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
It's probably been a long time.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I have seen him, and I do remember, like, you know,
it's funny that I remember from being a kid and
seeing the Jason movies and seeing the Friday of the
thirteenth movies coming out.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
As they went on, it was.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Like a lot of people are like, wait a minute,
if Jason died as a child, why is he so
fucking big? Now, Like, how did he grow into a
monster when he died as a child.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
If he died of a child, how comes he's like
six foot eight and like four hundred pounds.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Oh, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Anyways, Yeah, let's wrap this one up. It's a it's
a good movie. It still holds water. It's definitely a classic.
It's one of the classic horror movies. Slasher movies.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Oh yeah, it's definitely.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
As as much of a seventies and eighties slasher movies
you can get Oh yeah, pretty good twist in it
finding out that it's his mother and not actually Jason
in the first one.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah, and then.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
That that last scene at the end, like you said,
when the when the boy comes out of the water
and grabs her off the canoe, like you're not expecting that,
you never expect that.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
It's funny because remember I told you I watched this
about two years ago.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, a girl I was dating at the time.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
Yeah, she had never seen it, so that part made
her jump like like crazy, which made me laugh.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
All right, Well, guys, thanks a lot for listening. Make
sure you check us out on all the social media
and stuff like that, and.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Uh and have a happy Friday. The thirteen have.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
An awesome Friday. The Thirteen don't get con came a
Crystal Lake.
Do the intro. This is your baby, man.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Okay, Well, I'm so used to you fucking doing that.
The killers were fucking demented.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Your paralyzed from the neck down because I didn't have
any duct tape or rope.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
And then he sticks the guy's head and the mic awave.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Somebody tried to mess with his daughter, and dad killed everybody.
Speaker 5 (00:29):
If I'm putting the same shoes, I'm probably doing the
same thing.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Well, I wasn't gonna watch the radio one.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
And that's saying a lot considering that he ended up
getting the film band in the fucking New.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Cag fucking diabolical.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
All right, So welcome back to another horror movie Monday
movie review. And since and since this Friday coming up
is going to be June thirteenth, Friday the thirteenth, we
decided to do the original the nineteen eighty.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
We're taking it all the way back to Camp Crystal Lake,
all the way back, which is actually in New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Me and Joe telling that out on the way to Pennsylvania.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Yeah, that boy scout camp and we checked out. Apparently
they're booked up solid for June thirteenth.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, nine is a person nine.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Hundred dollars to spend the night in one of those cabins.
I think it was like eight hundred dollars to spend
the night in a tent, right something like that.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Yes, eight hundred for the tent, nine hundred for the
cabin experience.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
And you can stay in the same cabins that they
showed in the movies.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Yeah, it's it's the actual camp is called Camp Nebasco
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
No, it's something weird ass long name.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, it's a cool.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, it's a it's a boy scout camp in northern
New Jersey. That's they filmed both of the movie or
all the movies.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
That and Hope, New Jersey, a small town called Hope,
New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah, yep.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
I saw the the signs and stuff in the movie Hope,
New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Very cool. So yeah, man, man, So.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
It's probably been a while since I saw this movie.
I did not watch the trailer ahead of time. Yeah,
it's one of those things being this movie is what
forty five years old now.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
So nineteen eighty yeh, forty fucking five years old?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, almost as old as I am. You know.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
What's funny Joe.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So remember the opening scene in nineteen fifty eight.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Where the camp the camp counselors are all singing by
the fire, and then when the two camp counselors go
take off to get it on and the girl hands
the guitar, they start singing that song hang Down your Head,
Tom Dooley.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yep. I started.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Yeah, the second I heard that, it instantly brought me
back to sixth grade, because.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
In sixth grade, I back.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
In nineteen ninety seven slash ninety eight was when I
was in sixth grade. We had this English teacher called
Missus Debnie and she's.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Probably dead by now, dude.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
She had to be in her mid to late sixties
right then, and anytime she would send anyone to the
principal's office for write a detention slip, she would.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Sing the song hang down your Head, Tom.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Dully like she would say it while she was writing
you a fucking detention slipt.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Oh, that's funny.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
So the second I heard that song, it brought me
right back to sixth grade.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I remember from I want to say, when I was
like in my late teens, I decided I was gonna
start playing the harmonica, and one of the one of
the tunes that you learn on.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Initially is Tom Dooley.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I guess it was super simple.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
I guess it was a pretty popular song back in
nineteen fifty eight.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Yeah, So as soon as I heard that, I started,
I started singing that I was making I was making dinner,
and I pause it and I walk around the house
singing Tom Dooley.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Man, I mean, I don't know, why don't you fire
away first and I'll just feed off you.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
So, yeah, we're gonna we're gonna just go ahead with
the with the whole thing, since you know, like you said.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I didn't watch trailer. You didn't watch the trailer.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
It's forty five year old movie, so it's obviously it's
it's It's in camp Camp Crystal Lake, Hope, New Jersey.
The first scene is like nineteen fifty eight, like you said,
the camp counselors, they're all singing.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Two of them sneak off to go.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
To go hook up, and that's when they're brutally murdered
with a knife and then find out later that the
year prior, was it the same year or the year prior,
Jason Borhees had.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Died by drowning the lake, while the camp counselors.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Were nineteen fifty seven, right, so.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
In a couple of years before, Yeah, you find that out.
As you go along in the movie, people start talking
about the curse of Camp Crystal Lake. They call it
Camp Blood because people kept dying there every year after
this poor boy drowned.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
And then it comes to modern times, which is it
was modern nineteen eighty right, yes, yeah, that was the Yeah.
So it comes up the nineteen eighty and there's a
guy named Steve and he's rebuilding the camp and he's
bringing in some new camp counselors. And it's Friday, June thirteenth.
(06:20):
And the first thing is there's one girl who's coming in.
She's going to be the cook, and she's hitchhiking her
way in there. And the guy, the truck driver who's
like giving her hitch up the road. He's oggling this
poor girl. And they got Crazy Charlie who's down in town.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
He starts raving about Ralph.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Crazy Ralph.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, he starts raving about his Camp Blood and there's
a curse and trying to keep people from going up there.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
And he rides away on his bicycle.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Which fun fact, he actually gets killed in the fourth one,
just throwing out.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
The yeah, Ralph actually does get at one point.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, so you see her hitchhiking. Then she gets picked
up in another in a green CJ five, which is
it looks very similar to the one that Steve's driving,
but this one's got a top on it, so it's like, okay,
they make it seem like it might be the same jeep.
They kind of hint that maybe it's Steve at first, yes,
you know, and then obviously they drive past camp Crystal
(07:25):
Lake and the girl gets out. The murderer, whoever it is,
chases the girl down cuts her throat in the middle
of the woods. You never see you never see the
person's face in that first those first few scenes. No,
and then it cuts to Kevin Bacon and a couple
of other kids riding along in a box nose Ford
(07:48):
pickup truck heading out to camp, heading out to the
camp to be counselors. They show up there and Steve
is chopping away on firewood and he starts sending people
to go do this and go do that. He's getting
he's obviously getting it prepped up. He thinks he's gonna
have a good camp summer season.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
The thing that confused me was so that the girl
that was already there, Alice.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Right, the girl that was like bringing a gutter or whatever. Yeah,
was c was that like her weightfart or something.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
It seemed like he had romantic intentions. I don't know,
seems like there's a lot of uh, there's a lot
of fooling around in this in this camp with these
counselors and peak.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Like, well it's not peap, but this is like eighty
Slasher that it oozes of sex.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Right, which was surprising because normally you think, like, okay,
eighty slasher film, Hey, if the plot's not great, just
throw some.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Boobs in there. There were no boobs, no boos. There
were no boos at all.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Deft the way to the uh it's like four or
five and six where they really started going all out
with the nudity.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, they really are. There wasn't anything in there.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
No, it would have would have been nice for a
couple of boobs, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Oh well.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Man.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
So all these kids, they they they come into town.
There's already this girl working there, Alice. Don't know if
she's uh, the only girlfriend or whatnot. It's kind of
there's kind of a some sort of sexual end window.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
It did.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
It did surprise me that they've got a girl, like
a young girl like that who is hanging gutters. I'm
doing some serious physical manual labor there.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
People were. People were more resourceful back then.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I mean, he's got them out there painting the different
painting the buildings and chopping firewood and doing all kinds
of stuff out there.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
And you won't catch too many young teens doing that
these days, right, they're too busy on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
That's quite the generalization.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
But yeah, I'm just well or whatever it is that
they do.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I don't really know.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Your said.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
The more you talk, the more older you sound like
those kids kicks and talks.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
So anyway, these kids, uh, they briefly meet the owner
and he like gives them the jiffs, like get to
work and hurry up because it's going to rain the night.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
He takes off and leaves all these kids to run
the camp and put the camp together for him, and.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
He didn't really give him any instructions of like what
to do.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Really, it's very fraud.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yeah, it just seemed like And then that's when the
mayhem started very slowly at first.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
So, yeah, we have the cook who never makes it.
She gets killed in the woods.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Then we get the Then we get the kid who's
down by the he's down by the pond, and see
somebody in one of the buildings.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Mm hmmm, you.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Don't actually see that kid get killed.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
No, but uh, later when the rainstorm really starts to
pick up and Kevin Bacon and his girlfriend in the
film Bago would decide to go into a cabin and
get it on. When they're getting it on in the bed, yeah, yes,
(12:01):
he's on the top bunk and his throat's been slashed
and he's dead.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
And that brings us to the next the next one
to die, Kevin Bacon, And that's this is this is
still the part that I remember the most as a
kid from watching this was the arrow coming.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Through the bed.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, which was awesome through his neck, like the arm
reaches around from underneath the bed. Just it's a classic
like monster hiding under the bed type type scenario.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Well, you know all the special effects, did you know this?
All the special effects in the movie were done by.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Tom Seene No, yeah, I don't know if you know
who Tom Sephenie is.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
The name rings the Bell.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
But he did all the special effects for like Dawn
of the Dead, Day of the Dead.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Like he was the it guy in the eighties for
like horror movie special effects. Very cool, like any any.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Slasher or horror movie that you can think of, can't
sleep away.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I think he worked on one of the Halloween movies
like he was. He was the rock star of slasher
movie Gore in the eighties, hands down.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
So then you get the Then you got the three
kids who are playing uh what were they playing strip.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Monopoly, strip Monopoly.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Strip Monopoly in one of the big cabins.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Yes, and gets the arrow through the throat. Hold on,
we can't skip this. Kevin Bacon gets the arrow through
the throat. His girlfriend's got to go to the bathroom.
She she ends up getting killed in the in the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
So right there, there's three three deaths right there, and
then the.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Remaining three they're playing strip Monopoly. For some odd reason,
it starts raining really hard and like they stopped the
game and one of the girls is like, I left
the windows open in my my, my cabin.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, she goes and takes off and uh, she's.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
In her cabin, something drags her outside.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Is she the one that heard the boy.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Crying yeah, help me, help me?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah? What sounded like a boy saying help me.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
And she goes outside. And because at this point somebody
killed the well, uh, I'm.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Guessing the killer killed the generator which powered the entire camp. No.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I thought the lights. I thought the lights were on
at the archery range.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Well, they turned she turned them on.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
Yeah, they turned the lights on, and it kind of
like blinded the girl.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
And then like.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
This person, who again we don't know who he or
she may be, approaches this girl and the girl's not
really uh, feels threatened. And then whom she gets killed?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And then then I think at this point Alice is alone.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Right, Yeah, this might be when they go back to Steve.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
He's in the diner in town and he's talking about
going back up there, and uh, the waitress and designers
trying to get him to not drive up there in
the pouring rain because he's got he's got his jeep,
he's got a trailer on the jeep. She's like, you
know don't go back there in this weather. I think
she was like, hey, stay with me, you know, Yeah,
(15:52):
and that he had it back up there and I
don't know if it was before the next scene or not,
but he ends up, Uh, he ends up spinning the
jeep out, getting stuck in a ditch. You can't get
it started, Yes, And the shows up brings him to camp.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Yeah, And as he's walking into camp, he gets a
flashlight shine in his eyes, and.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
It's weird because he knows the person who it is.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
He's like, oh you and like he walks forward and
then boom, Like we like assume that he gets stabbed
in the stomach, you know what I mean? Yea, but
he definitely he recognizes whoever it is that's shine in
that flashlight in his face that much.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
And then then you got the other kid, the other
kid who was trying to hook up with Alice, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
The one that killed the spay for ye.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
He ends up getting killed and then he gets like
thrown through a window in Alice's cabin, which scares the
shit out of her.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
She doesn't know what the fuck's going.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
On, right, and she's under it at this point. She's
the last one in camp alive.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Mm hmm yeah, and she's so she opens the thing
and she tries to run out, and she she meets
this like who is Betsy Palmer? But Betsy's like middle
aged in this movie, probably like in the mid fifties.
I want to say yeah, and Betsy's like, oh, you know,
(17:42):
you got nothing to worry about, tear, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
And blah blah blah and uh. Which I when I
first saw this.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
I think I was like either seven or eight years old,
and it was at my aunt Mona's house.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Remember I used to tell you we used to get
a big set.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Yeah, dude, Betsy Palmer looked just like my aunt Mona.
I remember watching it and at the first time, I
like cracked a joke.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
I was like, Aunt Mona, I didn't know you were
a movie star, Like.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Like shut up, but yeah, yeah that's who Carman looks
like my aunt Mona. So then we find out Okay,
so this weird middle aged lady who just happens to
be in the middle of the campground at night, comforts
Alice briefly and then goes into like this description about
(18:39):
that you know they should have never reopened this place.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
This place has been nothing but trouble and I used
to work here and you know.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Yeah, she starts talking about the counselors being distracted, talking
about the boy who drowned.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yes, and then.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
It's really that she is Jason Voorhe's mother, Yes, and
she knows the one. It's revealed that not only is
she one who's been doing the killing all day during
this movie, but she was the one who was doing
all the killing in the subsequent years after Jason's death.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Correct, she's been running around, she's been murdering all the people.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
She caused it to be camp blood.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Well, because you know her.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Her Her excuse was that her son was not a
good swimmer, and the counselors were too busy getting it
on and they weren't watching the children swim. And that's
why her only son, her only child, drowned.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Right, who was born on June thirteenth.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
On Friday the thirteenth, Yes, she.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Said this is his birthday. Yep.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
Yeah, So Betsy Palmer goes full on psycho. She's had
conversations with her dead son.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Yeah, you know, kill her mother, kill her. And he's like,
don't worry, Jason, I won't let her get away.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Yeah, but it was like there was more jump scares
in the last like five ten minutes of this movie
than there had been in the entire thing. And I
mean they because like the body like Alice is trying
to get away, is being chased by missus warheez, and
had like all the bodies. She just keeps running into
all her friends who are dead all over the place,
(20:30):
like falling out the trees and shit like, yeah, just
in random places, like one of them, the girl in
the archery on the archery field, she was full of arrows.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
You know, people with their throats cut and stabbed in
the stomach, you know what.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
One kid like she opened a door and like flung
upside down, Yeah, which was pretty cool, but I I
just don't see how a middle aged woman could.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Hang a full grown, I don't know, twenty something year old.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Boy upside Don't like.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
That, right, And so she chases Alice for a while,
and Alice eventually is able to get away from her,
either stop her or get away from her.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I can't remember what she did. She didn't kill her, but.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
There's a lot of back and forth, Like she she
gets on top of her and she's trying to stab her.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
And she like each other. She's hiding in closets and.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
She at one point she waxed her with a pretty
good frying pan in the head.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
So there's a lot of fighting back and forth, and
then finally they're on on the shore of the lake
and there's a big fight scene and they scramble and
the machete goes flying. So Missus Voorhes has the machete
and the Alice the final girl. Yeah it gets the
(22:03):
knocks her down and gets grabs the machete off the ground,
and as Missus comes plunging at her again, she cuts
her head.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Off, chops her head straight off. Yeah, yeah that part.
I forgot about that part.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
And then, for some odd reason, I have no idea
Alice she gets in a canoe. She gets in a
canoe and just decides to float out into the middle.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Of the river.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I was seriously, I'm watching that and I'm like, where
are you going right now? There's nothing on the other
side of that lake. The camp is I'm pretty sure
the camp is the only thing on that lake, you know, Like,
where the hell are you going in a canoe?
Speaker 5 (22:44):
And then we get the the trippy seventies because I mean, look,
this movie's eighties, but it's still got a lot of seventies.
So there's that trippy like end of music. Everything's good
like end of the movie, like you know, the good
(23:04):
guys that hit the cops finally show up.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, the cops come rolling up. They drive right up
to the shore, the lake.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Shore, and see her out in the middle of the
lake in the canoe and she kind of wakes up,
comes to.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
And she's like waving towards them, and they're waving back,
and you're like, oh, it's finally over.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
And then all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
My boy comes up out of the lake. He grabs
her and drags her back onto the water.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Bro, I'm not gonna lie. The fucking first.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Time I saw that when I was a kid, I
think I shipped my pants.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah, like I it's been so long as I see
in this movie, I forgot that happened. But I knew
it as soon as as soon as I started like
waving from the canoe, I was like, oh, this is
when Jason comes out of the water, isn't there.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Yeah, But dude, that that fucking scene caught me up
guards so much when I first saw that movie.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, it scared the fucking shit out of me.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
And then she wakes up and she's in the hospital. Yeah,
and she starts asking the cops like, what happened to
the boy? Where's the boy? Did you find the boy?
And they're like what what fucking what boy?
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Well, before she says that, she says, you know, is
there anyone alive?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Yeah, and they're like no, they're all dead. Yeah, I'm
the only one. And they're like yeah, and she's like, well,
what about the boy? They're like, what boy? The boy?
The boy in the lake? There was an old boy
in the lake. And then then it.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Cuts to She's like, that means he's still there.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
He's still there, still.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
There in a weird, creepy fucking boys.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yeah, he's still there.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
And then it cuts to the lake and that's the
end of the movie.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, it's a good movie.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
So here's my question is, seeing that it's a forty
five year old movie, does it does it still hold up?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Does it still hold water?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
For a better lack of a better term, there's.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Some there's some cheese to it, but I don't know.
I think it does. I think it does.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Dude, you know what, I you know what, I found
myself kept saying during this the whole movie, like, especially
in the beginning, especially when the girl's hitching a ride
the truck driver, I'm like this, this movie's this movie's
problematic for for this day and age, like there is
so much, so much stuff that is inappropriate, well like
(25:42):
compared to nowadays.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
You know how tame we are.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Is the girl in the beginning who's hiking in.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
The town, It's like Jesus Christ, her fucking parents couldn't
drive her to the fucking.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Camp, right, Yeah, she's just.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
Yeah, well, what twenty thirty miles to the camp site.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I mean she didn't even make it to the camp, Like.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
No, I mean they drove out and that That's what
what alarm TERR was like.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
When they got to the turn where.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
The camp was, Yeah, that she didn't go down there.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
She was like, you missed the turn, and like she
kept speeding up.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
She's like, I think you need to stop.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
So obviously the mother of the killer had been telling
Steve not to open the camp up.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Because, like you said, he knew her, he recognized her.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
Yeah, I would say yes and no, it holds up
as is it a good slasher, sure, yeah, holds it.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
But I mean there's still some kind of like cheesy
predictability to it.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yeah, I mean it's not it's not super gory.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Not super gory.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
The special effects are very tame and in regards to
like what they're like now by today's standards, they are good.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
They look they look real, they look pretty convincing.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
I mean, if you were to see this nineteen eighties
or nineteen eighty like in the theater, this is pretty good.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Ship.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yeah, I think it was good. I think it's still
I think it's still a good movie.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
And I like the fact that there's such a big
following with you know, with the Campion sold out for
June thirteenth this year.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
And so many people who.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Everybody, I think everybody on the face of the fucking
planet probably knows who Jason Boyes is. Yeah, you know,
but like so many people forget that that the first
the first Friday the thirteenth was and Jason, it was
Jason's mother.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Yeah, I mean, I think I think most big fans
know it by now, But yeah, I remember that when
they they kind of brought Jason out as the bad
guy in later in later movies.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Oh, he's in. He's in the second one all the
way through.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
In fact, he has his own little like shack and
it's like weird trying that he like with candles that
he builds around his mother's decapitated head.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
No, it's weird.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah, have you seen the other ones.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
It's probably been a long time.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I have seen him, and I do remember, like, you know,
it's funny that I remember from being a kid and
seeing the Jason movies and seeing the Friday of the
thirteenth movies coming out.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
As they went on, it was.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Like a lot of people are like, wait a minute,
if Jason died as a child, why is he so
fucking big? Now, Like, how did he grow into a
monster when he died as a child.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
If he died of a child, how comes he's like
six foot eight and like four hundred pounds.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Oh, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Anyways, Yeah, let's wrap this one up. It's a it's
a good movie. It still holds water. It's definitely a classic.
It's one of the classic horror movies. Slasher movies.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Oh yeah, it's definitely.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
As as much of a seventies and eighties slasher movies
you can get Oh yeah, pretty good twist in it
finding out that it's his mother and not actually Jason
in the first one.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Yeah, and then.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
That that last scene at the end, like you said,
when the when the boy comes out of the water
and grabs her off the canoe, like you're not expecting that,
you never expect that.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
It's funny because remember I told you I watched this
about two years ago.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, a girl I was dating at the time.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
Yeah, she had never seen it, so that part made
her jump like like crazy, which made me laugh.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
All right, Well, guys, thanks a lot for listening. Make
sure you check us out on all the social media
and stuff like that, and.

Crystal Lake.
