Friday The 13th Blog

You are browsing the archives of bracket challenge.

I know a lot of people have commented on this finale. Some are confused on if we are voting now between these two characters to determine our overall favorite. Not at all. You voted on your favorite character, which is now Mrs. Voorhees. Everyone voted seperately on the favorite Jason so to set up a [...]

As I mentioned last week, it has been a lot of fun preparing this entire bracket challenge since July. I am glad so many people participated and engaged in conversation about the franchise. There have been a number of visitors that have been, shall I say, unproductive to the discussions, but that didn’t keep visitors [...]

Both matchups this week were very close. I thought at one point that both might end in a tie. Thankfully, that did not happen. I also wanted to mention to certain visitors that I think that it was pretty poor of you to post under different names and vote multiple times to try to taint the [...]

Well, here it is. The showdown that many have predicted would happen many, many weeks ago. This could go either way. Mrs. Voorhees could whip Ginny real good, or Ginny could use her Jedi mind tricks on Mrs. Voorhees. Can a child psychology major really get into a saddened mother’s head? That’s for you the [...]

We are down to the final 4 characters in this 4 month long contest. There has beenso much written about these matchups and where the votes rank that now is the time for you to turn out and vote. Some have been skeptical to vote as they think that it won’t matter. I would say [...]

VOTING CLOSED
Will young Jason be able to melt his mother’s heart and have her allow him to move onto the next round? Or, has revenge darkened her heart so much that not even her own son can stop her from realizing her destiny? Which Voorhees will move to the final four, starting next week?
Mrs. Voorhees [...]

VOTING CLOSED
Axel has been flexing his … hmm … muscles during this challenge. Can his mojo attract another victory or will the sheriff of these parts demand his respect to battle hat Crazy Ralph in the next round?
Axel (The Final Chapter)
Axel has dispacthed of Nurse Morgan, his fellow coroners and paintballer Roy. Will Axel turn his [...]

I didn’t think it would happen. I thought for sure that Tommy Jarvis would be at the end. Alas, even Tommy Jarvis cannot compare to the power of Crazy Ralph. The Prophet of Doom cannot be stopped. He is a man on a mission to stop the curse on Crystal Lake. All other challengers be [...]

VOTING ENDED
The other matchup this week is really, really close. Closer than I thought it would be. Will this new matchup be anywhere near as close? Ali had multiple lives against Jason. Can Ginny deliver the knockout blow as she did to Jason in his shack? This should be another fun vote. Which character should [...]

VOTING ENDED
Will the allegiance to Ralph come to an end this week? Or, will Ralph be able to overtake Tommy Jarvis and move one round closer to facing off against Jason of The New Blood?
Crazy Ralph (Friday the 13th 1980)
Remember everyone, God sent him. Do you need anything else? I still can’t believe how in [...]

We had a great Friday the 13th here on the site. Thank you so much to everyone that contributed to all of the discussions and for voting! Three matchups were voted on this week with two having no competition at all. The Best Jason Character was the closest matchup we have ever had in this [...]

VOTING HAS CLOSED!
Now, I want to set this straight right off the bat. This bracket challenge is to pick the best Jason character, not the actors behind the mask. There were many people that contributed to the Jason character in Part 2. Some were stand-ins for hand and feet shots, others did the window crashing [...]

VOTING HAS CLOSED!
Ah, the end of Round 2 is here and we have saved the best for last…..? Well, at least it’s an interesting matchup. Who would have ever thought a young Jason Voorhees that jumped out of Crystal Lake to grab Alice and take her down to the bottom of the lake would now have [...]

This Friday, November 13th, we will have some great events planned to celebrate Friday the 13th.  Join us for the following events to be posted throughout the day this Friday:
1. Discussions on the franchise: Multiple Friday Conversations
2. Special Announcement on Friday the 30th, The 30th Anniversary reunion event next August.
3. Special Bracket Challenge on a character [...]

VOTING HAS CLOSED!
So here we are. Mother versus mother. Can our favorite mother of a pyscho beat our favorite mother of Tommy Jarvis? I think this could be a bit lopsided, but lets see who everyone wants to move on to the next round.
Mrs. Voorhees (Friday the 13th 1980)
Both of the characters in this matchup [...]

In week 13 there were two more landslide victories. One in particular is notable as the only character to survive to the 3rd Round from a movie outside of the original 4 films. Thanks for voting everyone. We are drawing nearer to Round 3 and crowning your favorite character of the franchise. Soon there will be [...]

VOTING CLOSED
Now we will we will see a true test of fan loyalty. The trend has been mostly characters from the original 4 movies progressing to the later rounds, however, I think Sheriff Garris has a solid following and is one of the better characters in the series. Everyone loves Officer Dorf, but who really [...]

VOTING CLOSED
I am more than a little curious to see how this matchup turns out. I have a pretty good idea where this is going to end up, but I might be surprised. Roy was a very popular pick when he was voted to the second round, but I wonder how he will stack up [...]

This week had two more landslide victories. Will there be any close matchups in Round 2? Ali might be a surprise in the next round. Ginny is still the odds on favorite to win this whole challenge. However, can Mrs. Voorhees or the winner of the policemen matchup become the character to beat?

Ginny vs Paul
Ginny:  [...]

VOTING CLOSED
For some, Ali is a relative unknown character that shows up for a few minutes in the movie and gets killed by Jason in a few short seconds, twice. However, his character broke the mold of the original four movies in the series as the only African American male character to be created for [...]
