That is good work on Abel. I enjoyed his character. Where’d he get the eye from?

And I can’t remember and I’m too lazy to scroll up, but that old lady in the new one was great! She’s gotta at least give Abel a run for his money and I think she beats the deckhand.

hahahha great stuff, I love this damn website

“I’m a messenger of god”

But since she’s not in the catagory, I’d have to go with Crazy Ralph. He’s the original.

I’m having a difficult time choosing between Abel and Ralph.

Ralph, on top of being one of the more iconic non-Voorhees characters in the series, is a great red herring. Because he is more blatantly out of place than the other two (a hiker is not out of place on the road, and of course you’d expect a deckhand to be on a ship, but Ralph popping out of the pantry like a Ralph-in-the-Box is one of the more surprising moments of the series), it’s easier to suspect him before the “big reveal” proves him innocent.

Abel, on the other hand, does have a great build up. He starts out quiet, polite, and friendly, then slowly begins to get stranger and more intense, until he finally whips out the eyeball.

I think I’ll go for Ralph in the end, but I also really like Abel.

I just wish the new film had one. They had that old lady with the dog, but she should have had more warning screen time in the film.

Also, you could have had Mark Davis in this category too. He was a prophet of doom in a Friday the 13Th movie, even if he was warning about Freddy. And the Elderly Lady from Part 12, as someone else has already said.

I guess I see Abel as more of the “prophet of doom” that I’d like to be myself. Someone who knows that he has a mission from God and isn’t afraid to place himself in the road and speak earnestly from his heart.

Crazy Ralph always creeped me out, in the first one. If I saw a man walk right up to me presuming to know where I’m going like he did to Annie, I’d walk away. He feels to me like someone who is earnest, but too pushy. He even hides in the pantry and scares Alice half to death. I know he was just doing his best to warn the kids, and really did want to help them. However, and I feel sad to say this, I would probably have ignored him because of his approach. And, probabily called Officer Dorf on him myself.

Abel comes off to me as someone who will give the message, then let you decide to listen or not. He’s so pushy as to fallow you around and keep on after you. I would have taken the Ralph of Part 2 more seriously. He seemed less pushy and more sincere. Part 1 felt almost like he was the “know it all prophet” type like you get on some Christian TV Shows. “Going to Camp Blood aint ya?” Like he was proud of himself for guessing it right. Like he felt he had some place or high on his horse stature to tell me what I should and should not be doing and going. I’d go to Camp Blood just to spite the Part 1 Ralph.

Whereas Abel humbled himself by lying in the road. He even risked his own life by doing that. It’s a symbolic gesture of his faith in God, his mission to warn, and his faith in the people he is warning, his fellow humanity, not to hurt him. I would have turned back, or at least like to that I would have, for Abel.

Part 2 Ralph I would have listened to more. He wasn’t pushy like before, he was calm, almost remorseful. As if the deaths of the people from Part 1 inspired him to take a different approach. He realized what he did didn’t work, and wanted to try to speak with them more calmly. He didn’t come off as a know it all that time. That time he came off as a kind, older man, who really just wanted the best for the kids and was trying to level with them.

That’s my take on the two, anyway. The deckhand was awesome though. He came off as just bad@$$.
