I know that I am going to get some, shall I say, interesting feedback on this division. I had to throw this one out there and let people vote, though. Mrs. Voorhees, the deranged, vengeful mother of Jason exacted her revenge on the unsuspecting counselors-to-be in the original Friday the 13th. She returned [...]

The introduction of children into the Friday formula seemed outrageous when the films were first released. Not only were critics and parents already up in arms over the brutal nature of the films, but now kids were being featured in films that were thought of as immoral and inconsequencial. However, havng kids in the film [...]

For many years, there really was no reason to debate Jason’s character when he was a youth. And why should there have been. The  young Jason character for a better part of the first decade was only known by the famous end sequence of the original Friday the 13th. That jump scare was the icing [...]

The police officers featured in this division are fan favorites of the franchise in the 80’s. These cops were slick individuals and always tried to uphold the law. If they weren’t looking for town crazies or trying to keep things around camp quiet for more than 5 years they were dying to try [...]

The voting continues to be strong through four weeks. I am really enjoying everyone’s reasons for picking their characters and the discussions that are created by these divisions are awesome. Keep feeding us your input as your favorite characters will survive to the end.

Surprisingly enough, there were only three movies in the franchise that featured camp counselors and only two of those movies were at Camp Crystal Lake. Well, one movie where it was actually called Camp Crystal Lake and one movie where it was called Camp Forest Green. Well, for a camp to operate [...]

This genre of character was a staple of the slasher movie in the early to mid eighties. It seemed every movie had that silly guy trying to impress a girl with his crazy antics or he was just looking for attention. In the Friday series, this character showed up in the first three movies and [...]

Mothers are very important to their children’s upbringing. Kids are known to be mirror images of their parents and exhibit the same peronality traits of their parents.

Jason has attracted a lot of attention over the years. His fan club has grown more and more in the past 30 years. But every so often he attracts those people that don’t particularly care for him. In fact, they go out of their way to let him know [...]

Coroners have all the luck. They work crappy hours, but get the benefit of dealing with people all day long that never talk back. Then comes o’l Jason to mess everything up. You would think that Jason would appreciate their handy work. After all he and the coroners have something in common, they all slice [...]

This was a huge landslide as Crazy Ralph won by a huge margin.
