Friday The 13th (1980) • Re: Friday the 13th much way better then remake!

Friday 2024 is more like a sequal to the original movie, but ignoring parts 2 onwards.
The short scene you see at the beginning of the 2024 movie, is expanded and shown in depth for the original movie.. so the original serves as a prequal to this new movie...

Yes, I'd like to know what happend and see a prequal.

At the same time, I prefer it how it is now... that mystery.. I don't want to see it how it is! Once we've been shown, it can only be that way, but now we haven't seen anything it can be left to our imagination and is more interesting. I don't think there should be a prequal, and I don't think we should ever have a proper glimpse at Jason when he was a child, which is why I liked the scenes when Pamela is talking about her son, you just see the siloette.

Though if there was a prequal, i'd like it to be somewhere in the 60's and have a family or boy scout camping in the woods taking a photo of the group and it zooms in and you see this disfigured boy in the distance behind a tree.

Friday The 13th (1980) • The first murders

2011-06-17T17:44:31+00:00

Pamela kills those 2 teens who were supposely the ones who were making out instead of watching over her handicapped son.
The camp is then closed down, but she is never suspected as the murderer... but is it just left unsolved?

Without a doubt! it's how I enjoyed the movie, especailly when Marcie and Jack go into the cabin and you see the storm come up as it gets dark, very good atmosphere indeed!

The original Friday The 13th has the best atmosphere out of the whole series simply because you don't know who is behind all of the murders when you first watch the film because you only see a pair of hands and part of the killers body.

I don't think there should be a prequel, prequels only ruin great movies like Star Wars, The Exorcist and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I think that if there had to be a prequel it should show Jason and his family before Jason's death then what happened afterwards. I don't think a newer audience would like having Pamela as the killer again though.

Of course the original is going to be better than the remake, there are plenty of examples where that is the case including A Nightmare On Elm Street, Halloween, Friday The 13th, Black Christmas, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Romero's Original Dead Trilogy and there are much more that I can't remember or be bothered to put down.

Jacks death for me. Did you know sheep blood was actually used in that scene? The blood was just supposed to run out of the tube hidden in the face body but the pump connected to the tube stopped working and Tom Savini had to blow out the blood himself which caused it to squirt and gush out, when he appeared covered in sheep blood the whole crew had a slight chuckle and realised how seriously he takes his job. Annie's death was great also, mostly you would just see a line of blood in a movie when someone gets their throat slit but Annie's death was quite graphic in a way since she leaned her neck back and you could see the flesh opening up.

Maybe, Annie was just told that there would be roughly about ten councillors at the Camp or she could have forgot the exact number and said that she was cooking for ten councillors hence rounding up the number to the nearest ten.

Maybe she was rounding up? It's unlikely that there'd be exactly 50 campers anyways.

Well yeah... You have the "blooper" of Annie saying she doesn't like it when children are referred to as "kids", then she refers to them as "kids"... So...... Perhaps just another oversight.... Perhaps at the time they didn't think they would ever have so many dedicated fans loving these movies enough to look at them from every angle.....

Jack's death is by far the best kill, Marcie getting the ax to the face is my 2nd favorite kill and Annie getting her throat slit is 3rd.

Jack's death for me. Tom Savini is the man!
