a random shack in the middle of the woods made of crap collected over the years is more terrifying when you run to it for safety than when you find a house in an abandoned camp where a LEGEND’S name is engraved into a headboard of a child’s bed. I love the rmake, but christmas lights in an abandoned house and random mining tunnels wont make me think that the remakes Jason dwelling is more terrifying that part 2’s approach! I don’t personally think there is any debate on this subject.

I say that the remake is a continuation of the series. Jason started out in a shack and could hunt his prey on the topsoil no problemo. But as he grew older and \wiser\ he knew his speed couldn’t last forever and decided to make a tunnel system to compensate for his slower speed.

AS to the question as to what Jason does during the daytime. Well the remake exlpained that he is a botonist of the finest Ganja. He tended to his garden by day and protected his crop by night!!!!

I think the minertunnels were more realistic…that way, Jason could pop up anywhere..just like he used to do in previous movies…it makes alot more sense than having an old shack deep in the woods..( although it wasn’t that deep in the woods, since the police officewr finds it just a couple of minutes walk away from the road)

Friday 2024 wasn’t the best, but gave me more explanations that could make Jason much more scarier as a human being.
Just didn’t like the music and actors.
I think it’s very hard to make a Friday the 13th in the same creepy atmosphere as the first 4 movies…

I didn’t “fail to realize that the tunnels were part of an old mine that had long since been abandoned”…I found the idea stupid and unnecessary. It’s been done before in other (slasher) movies; why even ‘rip off’ the concept?

Old abandoned mines right by a summer camp? That turned up into an over turned school bus? And were lit up in parts? Didn’t like the idea at all.

Jason never had to slink around like a rat in a maze before. Give me an old run down shack for his lair any day.

Nothing beats the part II shack. That was his best home of the series. It looked believable and I love how it was salvaged through all those years.

It truly looked like the remains of some run downed abandoned cabins. Plus I have seen huts like that before were some homeless people had built in the woods before.

Weird thing is, the time I ran into these the whole F13 experience started playing in my mind and I passed going inside :)

You know something that was one of the few concepts that I actually liked from the remake. That explains how he can get around so fast. The shack has its place in the Jason mythology, but I prefer the vast system of tunnels underneath the camp. The other question you posed, about whether or not those kills from the sequels would have happened or not is an interesting one. I do believe he still would have killed them because those woods belong to Jason and whoever enters gets killed. If you really think about it most of the kills take place away from camp anyway. Revenge is revenge. The whole motive for the way Jason kills has always been to punish the teens who allowed him to drown and the person responsible for killing his mother. From Jason’s perspective all teens are responsible and need to be punished. So it would fit that Jason kills anybody who enters his territory and those woods surrounding the camp belong to him.

I actually like the underground tunnels in the remake. I mean He has to go somewhere when hes not killing. I always used to wonder what Jason did during the daytime like in part 7. There were no day kills in that installment, so like where did He go, what did He do? Maybe the Voorheees house from JGTH, or maybe He built another shack. But anyway the tunnels was something new for the series, plus it kinda shows how Jason gets the drop on people with the traps and bells. Just holding Whitney hostage didnt really sit well with Me, it didnt really make sense. I get the whole She looks like His Mom thing, but still it seems unlike Jason to hold someone captive.

But however, I think the shack in part 2 is more realistic. Jason is still kind of human in that movie, and in real life I could see finding a shack deep in the woods as opposed to underground tunnels. And it also shows Jason isnt stupid, He built that thing all by himself, and the shrine with His Moms head thats always been creepy. In the remake Jason had Her head stuffed in a wall, that kind of didnt make any sense. The one person in the world He does love and care about, and He puts Her head in a wall? Nah, the shack is way better. After that Yes He hid in the Higgins barn. But in part 4 I wonder where He hung out between kills. Although at the beginning He was making His way back from the morgue, and bannana girl just happened to be in His path. Another day kill, just like the paintballers in Jason Lives. He was trying to make His way back to the camp. But anyway, Ive always loved Jasons shack and I do love it better than the underground tunnels. Oh and to close, Jason actually had a toilet. Can You imagine Jason taking a piss?

Jason was a smart killer, even in the original series. Sure, he was more savage than the remake, but if the tunnels had existed in the originals he would have retreated to them and not have been caught. I’m sure that the hock would have been introduced at some point, as the camp would have been closed and he would have gotten hungry, forcing him to venture to the Higgins Havens and Jarvis houses nearby.

I like both really. I enjoyed the creepy old shack look but I enjoyed the realistic approach they took with the mine shaft. How he rigged it to notify him when someone was around the camp site. We saw Jason sharpen up his machete there and we saw all types of tools around the mine and it made it this cramp menacing place where who knows what happened there in the past.
