If I remember correctly, He is wearing a white cowboy hat, blue jeans, and a black sports coat. Just before Drayton is called up to recieve his award for best chili! (Just to clarify what I said earlier) And I meant to add that “ETHEL” should be brought out to the 30th ann. reunion next summer…THAT would be cool! I love her colorful language!

I started to watch this last night and turned it off right after Annie’s death. I realize it’s on tv and it’ll be edited out, but I’ve seen worse things on CSI and those types of shows. They could have left SOME of the blood in. ::sigh:: Thank god for the deluxe edition that was released!

I don’t usually like to watch these types of movies on t.v. because they usually edit out all of the good parts, but I might make an exception this once since it is on Spike.

Jasonsfury,
Awesome promo I remember that one. I think they had another one teasing about how Jason never used doors instead he would smash through windows that one was hilarious too.

I remember taping the F13 movies off USA when they aired as part of Saturday Nightmares or Commander USA\’s Groovy Movies. I think they were unedited too.

My first time with the Fridays was on DVD, I guess I’m a bit younger than most of the other fans… I think because of the later Child’s Play sequels like “Bride of Chucky” and “Seed of… etc”, alot of people forget how dark and scary the original was. I don’t think it gets the respect it should.

Tommyblah, my parents were the same way, and Walmart Man, I watched them at an early age as well. I started watching horror movies at a young age, but my parents were always there to tell me the consequences, right and wrong, etc. The first time I watched or was exposed to Friday the 13th movies was when they were on USA Network and TNT (monster vision), which was back in the early 90’s. Me, my brothers and my cousin would get together (stay the night at each others house) and watch these. Its really cool to see it on Spike TV, hopefully they’ll have marathons like that again.

The first time I watched the Friday movies was on VHS rented from the local video store. But the movie that scared me the most was Child’s Play. I watched it for the first time when I was 8 years old, uncensored on HBO around 1:00 AM all alone, back in the 80’s. And I was being raised by a single mom like the little boy in the movie. That movie scared the hell out of me. I even had a dream that night, that Chucky killed my mom… But I think that experience is why I love Horror movies so much.

uh, walmart man, i was exposed to these very young and i grew up to be very anti-violence. hiding things from kids is no substitute for being good parents. my parents taught me about violence and its consequences early on and explained that these people getting killed was a bad thing, and that it was just make-believe to give you good fake scare for fun…not to glorify killing.

so i grew up knowing that and formed strong healthy opinions on the subject. the sick people are the ones who over-shelter their kids and never teach them the logic behind these things…and i’ve seen the past few generations of kids turn out to be quite fucked up from what i see as being a direct result of that.

i think parents should actually take some responsibility… they’re kids should be allowed to see tamed down cuts of these movies, and IMO all nudity should be allowed. clothes are man-made. the fact that we shelter kids from nudity and violence as if they’re the same thing is why people grow up to mix the two together and get off on raping and choking when they have sex and shit like that.

give the kids their friday the 13ths…if it were not for kids seeing the tv cuts in the 80s, this franchise would be half as successful as it is now.

Yellow Misfit,
The other movie I used to watch all of the time on TV was Fright Night. What an awesome movie. Then Tom Holland went on to direct Child’s Play a few years later. Another excellent movie.

Why would you want younger kids to be exposed the Friday the 13th? Are you sick?

Ah Spike. I remember watching them on Spike when I was little (which was only about 5 years ago). They had marathons of all of them every Friday the 13th and Halloween. I never saw all of part 8 until I bought the DVD because my mom would make me go to bed halfway through lol. I hope they do marathons again (even though I have all the DVDs) so younger kids can watch them.

Why doesn’t Elvira host these things anymore?

Watching these films on cable was only good if you had not seen unedited versions of them on VHS. I use to hate waiting for a kill only to find out that the cable channel edited the whole scene and only left in fragments of the sound for it. I remember this happening with A New Begining…which really made the film suck except that they also edited out the “fake” Jason demasking which made it easier to imagine that the killer in that film was, in fact, Jason Voorhees and not Roy (Dick Wieand of Advair fame).

jasonsfury is Dead on. Every horror movie I grew up loving I first saw on cable. Most of the Fridays, Halloweens, Romero Movies, Phantasm the list goes on and on.

USA, TBS, or the weird local channel that did Sunday Afternoon Chiller Theatre, what good memories.

First time I watched the entire series it was on cable there was a marathon going on I dunno if it was SpikeTV (TNN back then)or TBS, who knows. It was great though I really got hooked on the legend of Camp Crystal Lake.
