This is a HeadGum Podcast.
This is Emily, Henley, and Sammy, and you're listening to Too Scary, Didn't Watch.
Hi everyone, welcome to Too Scary, Didn't Watch, the horror movie recap podcast for those too scared to watch for themselves.
I'm Emily, and I'm too scared to watch scary movies.
I'm Henley, and I'm also too scared to watch scary movies.
I'm Sammy, and I love watching scary movies. And so I watch them and I tell you about them.
Save you the horror of watching them yourselves.
Thank God.
Thank God. Thank God.
But before we get into this week's scary movie, did anything scary happen to us?
IRL.
Um, yeah, I.
Surprise, surprise.
I got COVID.
Um, surprise, surprise.
I got COVID.
For anybody who listens week to week.
Last week, I mentioned Joel had COVID and that I maybe was feeling a little under there, but maybe not.
And then, yes, I was. That night, it became very clear.
Yes, in fact, I feel sick.
Next morning, woke up very sick.
Definitely, definitely had COVID.
Still have COVID.
How sick do I sound?
Do I sound sick?
Not too sick.
Not too sick.
I can hear it.
I can hear it.
It's a little bit in the nose.
It's a little bit in the nose.
Okay.
I, I, um, what I just reminds me of one of my very favorite things when I'm watching
a TV show, um, is when you can tell if the actors are sick but it's not like a storyline you know this is
like the actors showed up to work that day you have mentioned this before and your powers of
discernment are unbelievable to me like the stupidest thing but i i'm absolutely upset
i think it's because of the way it like inevitably breaks the fourth wall when when you can be like Jon Hamm has a cold I'm like I like I fucking love it I love it I don't know why I just really
enjoy it when I can tell because I'm like oh look at them they're acting through their sickness like
they have to because they were on set that day and I mean I wonder if we're doing that now probably
not as much hopefully you know showing up to work sick anyway um so yeah i've i have covid i got covid
but i'm feeling so much better i'm on day um eight monday eight and they say after 10 days
you're good you're good to go so joel is on his 10th joel's on day 10 he's he's good i guess maybe on day seven then whatever um but i will say you know
it's not fun henley you've had covid you know i had not ever had covid and thank god for vaccines
i'm so grateful for vaccines because it still totally sucked and i can't even imagine i can't
even imagine how much worse it could have been.
Even just the anxiety portion of like, you know, not once did I worry, am I going to have to go to the hospital?
That would just be so stressful.
And what a crazy thing that we're still experiencing.
And I just feel very, very lucky to have gotten through it.
OK, but also just like heads up, guys, try not to get COVID because it sucks.
It does suck.
It sucks to be sick.
I hadn't been sick. Sorry't sorry henley i hadn't
been honest to goodness sick in like over two years and it please apologize to me about that
i just you just keep being sick and i feel so bad um because i got sick once it was like
i hate this i'm such a baby. I like immediately started crying.
I just like, you know, I'm just a huge baby when I get sick and I had forgotten.
And also Joel had never really seen it.
And I was like, oh, I'm sorry.
I'm about to be so annoying every single day until I feel a thousand. And then I'm going to be annoying because I feel better.
And I'd be like, oh, I'm not sick.
Like, I just am such a fucking drama queen.
So we're riding it out.
It was a little bit scary just to just to fucking get sick and to get COVID.
But I can't wait for those antibodies.
I can't wait.
Oh, my God.
They're rushing.
They're rushing through your system.
Oh, my God.
I can't fucking wait.
It's the light at the end of the tunnel.
I actually I actually I don't think i've
ever cried while being sick um i mean maybe as a child i did but i have no memories of it but when
i had the stomach flu this year i cried and said to him i grabbed his arm and said i'm scared
because i felt so sick and i knew it was just going to get worse.
Like I knew it was going to get worse
before it got better.
Such a bad feeling.
And I just was like,
I don't want to do it.
Like I just don't want to do that.
But I have no choice.
That's really like,
that's what I'm part about being sick.
That's like, God,
you just feel so powerless.
You just are like i'm like i
have to go where this takes me i have no choice and that is a scary thing it is um and you also
like you get a little i think actually depressed when you're like i think it does sort of do that
to your brain so it's you know it's just harder to bounce back from and also it's you know sorry i don't
again sorry henley i don't have a baby but um it's really boring it's really fucking boring
um to just be like you literally can't leave your house i know we've been in a pandemic for two
years but you'd be like no i can't i can't leave i have the thing that they're telling everybody
not to get i can't leave my house I'm fucking bored and I like
really you know I was like maybe I'll do some
you know I'll do some projects
I had no energy to do fucking projects
like
anyway
I did my nails yesterday because I
I'm gonna be better soon and I'm like
ready to fucking go
they're gorgeous they do a little description
they're like a cloud blue.
They're a cloud blue.
It's actually sort of more of a green.
It's a light green long claw.
Long claw.
And listeners, this is also a video episode on our Patreon.
I did some checkerboard.
If you want to take a faint checkerboard on these
too. Yeah, I didn't notice that.
Anyway, that's what happened to me this week. That's all
that happened to me this week and it's going to be the highlight.
I'm never going to shut up about it because
I get so
annoying when I am sick
or have been sick. So sorry, everybody.
What's up with you? You know,
I get
like a God complex. Me me not having COVID up until
now. I'm the final girl of our friend group. Yeah, it's true. Truly the actual final girl.
Yeah. And I'll have moments of thinking like, I must be immune. I must be a special
chosen human being that is completely untouchable and then i'm like well now i'm going
to get it because i thought that sure but then i still haven't but maybe now that i've said on a
podcast maybe now it's when you say it on a podcast that's when it comes i thought maybe
that was me too and i was i was excited to like really put it to the test it's like joel i live
with someone who has covid here we go we will find out. And yeah, I'm not. I'm not.
I'm not immune.
I'm sure that I'm also not.
Come over, Sammy.
Let's prove it.
Let's kiss on the mouth. I'll kiss you.
No, you know what?
I don't want to do this to you.
Okay.
What, Sammy?
What about you?
Anything scary happening this week?
Well, mine's a little cruel.
Oh.
For Emily's sake.
Cruel?
Cruel?
Cruel. Cruel. It's not that word. You'll see why. Cruel. Oh, for Emily's Emily's sake. Cruel. Cruel. Cruel. Cruel.
It's not that word. You'll see why. Cruel. Cruel is a good word.
But no, it's that I went to go see Top Gun in 4D.
4D, not 3D. 4D. 4D.
Oh, Emily, you were really looking forward to that.
Yep. I'll see it. I will see it.
Yes, I will see it. But I yep i'll see it i will see it i yes i will see it but i
was supposed to see it yesterday and they did not i know i know i'm sorry and like it's got okay
it's okay such good reviews and so much hype it literally and it's like it's true it's the best movie ever i i i thank god i mean honestly
like i oh my god i can't wait i it's like i i would love to have already seen it but even just
knowing that i will that i will see it and it is so good and i know it's gonna be so good i don't
even care to look forward to i don't even care that people are telling me that it couldn't
possibly be spilled for me okay i, I do not feel this way
and I will not see this movie, so we should 100%
do this as a bonus episode where
you guys tell me about what happens.
No, it's not about that,
Henley. It's not about that. It's about experiencing.
It's not about that. There's no
point to doing that. It's about experiencing it.
No. Okay, let me tell you.
First of all, 4D, you guys, if you
have not gone to a 4D movie, Top Gun is the one to
do it for.
It's literally, it was probably the best movie going experience of my entire life.
I had so much fun.
I laughed like a five-year-old child basically start to finish.
So the point and what 4D is, is your seats move like a roller coaster.
And so you're being like wobbled around while you're
in flight which i mean yeah i mean there's a lot of non-stop and the seats like go back like when
you're when you're accelerating so it's like so you're like on the plane in the fighter jets with
maverick himself that's wild it didn't make you feel nauseous or sick at all well you're not
supposed to do it if you're pregnant.
I could not stop laughing. It's so fun. It's so funny.
There's when there's like fight scenes with like, like shots firing.
Then there's like lights that flicker in the theater.
And then there's smoke that comes up by the front of the screen.
Like, it's so funny. A very immersive experience.
I was delighted in a way that i haven't
been in a really long time and it just i don't know i truly can't recommend it enough it's
expensive it's like almost 30 a ticket but you're getting a roller coaster but it's worth it and i
truly i'll go again i'm gonna end up spending like probably $100 on Top Gun tickets because it's just there's right into Tom's pocket.
Right into Tom's pocket.
Yeah, that's the scary part is that it's like a very like pro military movie with led by a problematic man who's like just inarguably one of the greatest movie stars of all time.
Look, look, we know where I stand.
We know where I stand we know where i stand scientology's bad
therefore you know he's bad and also he's one of my favorite people to ever have lived he's just
fucking love him a fucking star he is a star so talented his commitment his nobody commits harder
than him nobody ever no has ever done it or ever will and
it shows in the movie so i love him the reason that it cannot be described is because it's the
visuals it's all the visuals he wouldn't do it until they agreed to do it all with real jets
there's not a single green screen in it there's no cgi like it's all real and it's fucking crazy wait what crazy wait they filmed
in a jet in a fire all of them all of the actors had to take like jet training they all there was
a lot of actors that threw up every single day because they're going like eight g's it's insane
i just can't believe it henley how many Mission Impossible movies have you seen?
Approximately two.
Okay, that's better.
That's better than what I was maybe going to think.
I was worried you were going to say zero.
Henley, he does all of the stunts.
He does them for real.
For real. Yeah, yeah.
In the newest one that's going to come out next year which they already
released a teaser for thank god he rides a motorcycle off a cliff he does it for real
motorcycle off a cliff he's turning into who was the famous person in like the 90s late 80s
who would do like the daredevil evil kenevilnievel. Evil Knievel. Yeah, he's trying to do Evil Knievel.
Sorry.
Does that diminish it? It's super human.
It sort of does.
Actually, I don't know shit about Evil Knievel.
No, it's okay.
It's okay.
I just...
I'm so excited.
I love him so much.
Yeah.
He's so special.
What would you do if you were in an elevator with him?
Start sobbing.
I would cry too. I think i would have a i think i
would have a panic attack i think i would like start hyperventilating but he would be so nice
he's like he's one of the people that i feel like is always down to meet a fan
like he's just like not real he's not like a real human he has that reputation of being like one of the most personable people who just makes
you feel like the only person in the room when you're speaking to him.
And he's like, he like gifts people who do movies with him like cars.
He like has no concept of like what life is, but he's very nice.
I don't know him.
I love him.
Yeah.
Listeners, see Top Gun in 4D.
Henley, what's scary with you this week?
What's scary with you?
What's scary with me?
I was really racking my brain for something more fun to talk about.
Well, OK, so well, OK, so I guess I'll just talk about I don't think I've talked about
this.
Have I about how my new conversational podcast that I listen to is The Deep Dive with June
Diane Raphael
and Jessica St. Clair. You have not talked about it. Okay. Well, guys, I mean, I'm really on this
conversational podcast kick. And it's almost like I well, it's not almost it's as if this is just
how it is that I cannot be alone with my thoughts anymore. And so and so I must always I must always have a goddamn podcast on.
So I'm like burning through poop like that.
Burning through yesterday's news, like moving on to the next one.
Wow.
So I talked I did.
I do.
I do remember I talked about Jesse Klein's new book a few weeks ago, and she was interviewed on The Deep Dive with June Diane Raphael, who's one of the hosts of How Did This Get Made and is married to Paul Scheer.
And she's also in Grace and Frankie.
And then Jessica St. Clair, who is an actress who's been in a few sitcoms.
And I didn't really know much about either of them before starting to listen.
But they're both moms.
Sorry, there's so much mom content comes from me.
But I make up a lot of people in the world and I think it's great.
It's one of my number one interests.
Now, you guys.
Sorry.
Sorry.
And they have kids that are more in the like seven-year-old range and they're just fucking hilarious and they have a really funny dynamic and they're all about being like extremely
open and honest with each other and just being like the the idea of the podcast just came out
of them like having these very intense dinners together as like a friend group where they talk about like really intense shit.
And they were like, let's just do that on a podcast because Jessica St.
Claire had breast cancer that she survived.
June, Diane Raphael's both of her parents died suddenly.
So they've like dealt with a lot of very intense grief, but they are like so funny about it and so lighthearted.
But then also will just cry.
And I am here for all of the emotions.
I am down for all of it.
Again, very specific, very niche.
I'm not sure this would be for anyone.
I don't think it would have been for me a year ago.
But right now I am deeply enjoying it.
And both of them, I'm like, please be my goddamn friends.
Like, I think I feel that way.
You should be so lucky.
I think I feel that way more about them even than I do about Kate Berlant and Jacqueline
Novak.
Watch out, Kate and Jacqueline.
I know, which is like a real hot take.
And I know people really care about what I think when it comes to who I be friends with
on podcasts, but that's where I am with that.
And then also just wanted to say, I've been reading more.
Thank God.
Finally, I haven't been able to read for years, years.
And man, it brings me a lot of joy
and i just read a book that did not bring me a lot of joy but i powered through it like such a
fucking page turner empire of pain do you guys that doesn't sound like um it's called empire of
pain if you can believe it it didn't bring me joy. I didn't edit it.
It didn't lighten things up for me, Empire of Pain.
It's extremely disturbing and upsetting, but it's like, it's a comprehensive biography
of the Sackler family, like their rise and fall of the Sackler family, who are the owners
of Purdue Pharma and are like literally the architects of the opioid crisis.
And Patrick Radden Keefe is the author and he writes it in this way that's just so deeply
compelling, like so thrilling, just fucking like cannot put it down. And I rarely feel that way
about nonfiction. And this definitely, it is is dark and then the thing that's really crazy
about it is that the um second generation or the third generation who ends up really like
fucking things over real hard um they're just like it's it's just like um uh the royce they're
literally the royce oh yeah like they're so incompetent and so stupid and probably they're worse than the Royce in the sense that they're real responsible for murdering.
Like directly responsible for murdering tons of people.
But they have the same mindset of like, we're the smartest people in the room.
We are deserve everything that we've been
given and we've done nothing wrong we've never done anything wrong scary those are my two things
that i wanted to talk about this week i might check that out i've been wanting to read more
non-fiction lately i feel like i read a lot, but am I learning anything?
It's like I'd kind of like to learn something while I read.
That's interesting.
Am I learning?
That's what Tim's mom says that when I'm like in a binge of reading too many just like kind of dumb fiction books.
She's like, it's like eating too many chocolate chip cookies. And it's true.
When you're just like reading the same type of book over and over again, you're like, this actually is I think of it as being good for me.
But then it's actually not.
Yeah, it's I mean, it's not it's it's like TV, but a little bit more requires a little bit more.
But that's OK.
It's OK.
But it's like I want to sprinkle in some nonfiction, too.
Yeah, I want to sprinkle it in.
I just mean, you know, life is hard.
You can enjoy things. You can enjoy things.
You can eat cookies.
Yeah, but to enjoy things, you know, you got to spring a little challenge here and there, right?
Don't you think?
Sure.
We all find challenge in different ways, though.
I'm just saying.
Okay.
I'm just saying.
I don't like this.
I don't like this that you can't enjoy things too much you
can okay there's no cap on enjoyment all right it's that it's that it's like is it enjoyment
i think is my that's that's exactly exactly my question is like am i having a am i feeling
good about this that's a great question to ask i love asking that question because i do that with
tv too it's, I'm not even
enjoying this anymore. Yeah, the
new season of Stranger Things came out and Joel and I
keep every night, we're like, I guess
do we have Stranger Things? And last night we were like,
we don't want to. Why do
we feel like we have to? We don't
want to watch it. I refuse. So we're not
going to watch it because I don't want to.
My job basically hinges on whether
Stranger Things is well or not and I don't want to watch job basically hinges on whether stranger things i don't want to watch it here's the thing henley it will i don't need to watch it for it to do
people are gonna fucking watch greater things no i don't exaggerating that's not directly true but
man netflix doesn't have a lot of can struggling a bit yeah yeah and they did spend a lot of money
on stranger things should i just like play it in the background on mute so that Henley gets to keep her job?
No, I don't want to watch Stranger Things.
I mean, I literally don't want to watch it either.
Like I don't want to either.
So I won't.
So I won't.
I can think of something else you guys aren't going to want to watch.
Okay, tell us.
And that's this week's movie, which is Friday the 13th.
Came out in 1980.
Can you believe we have not yet covered this film?
A real classic.
A staple of the genre.
I can't believe it.
When you brought it up, I was like, no way have we not seen this.
But we haven't.
We haven't.
No.
It was directed by Sean S. Cunningham.
Written by Victor Miller Miller, starring Adrian King,
Robbie Morgan, Janine Taylor, Harry Crosby, Kevin Bacon and Betsy Palmer.
Wow. Kevin Bacon's in this? I had no idea when he showed up on screen. I was delighted. Yeah.
This is one of his earlier roles. I think only, um, what is it? Animal house,
I think was his like first big role that was two years before this, but this was before Footloose.
So it's early, early Kevin Bacon. Have you ever met anyone else whose last name is Bacon?
I know someone whose last name is Hamburger.
I know someone whose last name is Hamburger.
Wow.
But that's all that I can think of in the meat last name department.
Because he's so famous, you don't think twice about it.
But imagine meeting someone whose name was just like Ann Bacon.
What I often think about, too, is like we're so used to saying celebrities like full names, you know, like Kevin Bacon, Leonardo DiCaprio.
But you ever stop to think about like Leonardo?
I know Leonardo is intense.
His name is Leonardo.
Anyway, it's weird.
I don't know anybody named Bacon.
I don't know anybody named Bacon, but I'm excited to talk about this movie.
Maybe.
And what I also want to say, this is a a video episode i haven't been able to do this for the whole pandemic i've been i have been
coveting everyone who can do this so jealous green with envy and i can now do a thing that
that i'm gonna do right now and it's partially because i can and it's partially because I might have to blow my nose during this episode. And you better believe I'm going to slip
behind this bad boy. And here we go. Wow, that's a gorgeous picture of our beautiful Rob. Emily
just pulled up for anyone who's curious. If I have to blow my nose. No, you got to go real far back.
I got to go real far back. Well, I just will.
But for now, I won't because there he is.
It's making me feel like I look nasty, though.
So I actually maybe don't love it.
OK, I'll tell you the 13th.
I'll tell you some some stats.
So we've got a 63 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, a 22 on Metacritic.
Oh, my God.
And a 6.4 on IMDb. What the fuck is going on on Metacritic oh my god and a 6.4 on imdb what the fuck is going on on metacritic i don't know uh the budget was 550 000 and it went on to make 59.8 million okay not too shabby
and some trivia it was the 18th highest grossing film of 1980,
facing stiff horror competition from such high-profile releases
as The Shining, Dressed to Kill, The Fog, and Prom Night.
So not even the highest grossing horror film of that year,
even though that sounds like a lot of money for 1980.
And there are 12iday the 13th movies
feels like there's gotta end up being a 13th yeah that's a great point a real interesting
place to stop at number 12 but some of the other ones that i i feel like i feel like we we talked about when we did our slashers
bonus episode there was a little segment on friday the 13th and i feel like it told us or showed that
some of the jason movies some of these movies are kind of all about getting the craziest kill like
that that his murders specifically are like so over the top ridiculous like almost
like final destination style like just the most gory crazy kills and so i like that it has this
a little over the top element to it this movie doesn't as much but i think they get crazier and
crazier as they go on and so i just wrote wrote down some of my ones I'm curious about.
The one of the final ones is one in which Jason goes to space.
Oh, love it.
Does he put a helmet on over his hockey mask or a hockey mask on over the helmet?
Great question.
I got to know.
I got to know.
That one is not well reviewed, but I'm curious. And there's one called
Jason Goes to Hell. Curious about that. And then this is my favorite. There's one called Jason
Takes Manhattan. Stop it. It's like Home Alone 3. Oh my God. It's so funny. That's very fun.
These movies came out basically one right after another, starting in 1980.
From 1980 to 1989, eight of the movies were released.
So there's basically one of these came out every year.
Wow.
I wonder if that's one of the reasons why.
I mean, because it didn't do so well when it first came out.
But I feel like it's such an important movie that we've all heard of that's a household name.
It did do well. I mean, it made 59...
No, no, no, but you said that it was... 60 million.
Wasn't it, like, beneath all those other
movies? Like, The Shining and
Prom Night, etc.? I guess so, but for the
studio, I can't remember if it's Paramount or
not, but it was the second highest grossing for that
studio, so it did well. Okay.
Okay, okay. Where does it rank
in popularity with Night with nightmare and elm
and uh halloween i don't really know i know that jason is just one of the iconic killers like
whenever you see a little compilation of killers it's freddie jason michael myers and ghostface
and when do freddie Freddie and Jason start hanging? Collaborating.
Yeah.
When do they become friends? I think
there's a movie called
Freddie vs. Jason. Why would they become
Oh, it's versus. They're not friends.
They're fighting each other. They're enemies.
It feels like it would make far more
I mean, I guess you'll get into it. You'll tell us what Freddie's
deal is, but Jason
Wait, sorry. You'll tell us what Freddy's deal is. But Jason. Wait, you'll tell us what Jason's deal is.
Freddy exists in dreams.
It feels like it makes far more sense for Michael Myers and Jason to team up.
Jason to team up.
They're both mask wearing.
Must have been a rights issue.
Must have been more convenient.
Ownership and ownership thing.
It's like Marvel versus DC.
Yeah.
I have no idea. We're going to have to cover
all of these movies to find out.
We could, I think, probably do
this and Friday the 13th
and Halloween for
the rest of the year. There's enough of all
of those movies. Nightmare on
Elm Street, I mean. How many listeners
do you think we would lose if we only
covered those
movies for the rest of the year? Well, they're all
different movies. Of course. I think people could be interested, but we'd probably lose some. Yeah.
Well, I can't wait to find out what this guy's deal is. You guys are going to be surprised,
I think. In the past few years, I have hit a point where I only want to be wearing clothes
that are comfortable. It happened. It
happened to me. But you know what? I still also want to look cute. And these are two desires that
are often extremely opposing. And I don't want to have to sacrifice. I want both. I want comfort
and I want to feel cute and confident. And guess what? Skims has freaking done it again with their
soft lounge collection. I am currently very, very obsessed
with, I have the soft lounge tank and boxer set. Okay. This tank, it's a great little rib tank.
Classic. You can wear it every day. You can pair it with jeans. You can wear it out in the world,
or you can wear it with this little boxer short that is so comfortable. It is super,
super soft, lightweight rib. They're great. I also truly have been for years stealing
Joel's boxer briefs to wear as sleepwear and loungewear. And guess what? That ain't cutting
it. I'm not feeling too cute in those. I'm not feeling too comfortable. But desperate times.

Think about what happens in this movie.
Okay, so let's get into it.
So we start in 1958 at Camp Crystal Lake.
It looks absolutely beautiful.
Yes, I mean, it does look nice.
Have you guys ever been to summer camp?
Yeah.
No, I was too scared to go to summer camp when I was little.
But I never did like a classic like camp camp, like this style, like cabins, like how in
the parent trap, which I always really love that camp.
Yeah.
I did day camps.
I guess I did do, I was forced to do a few sleepaway sports camps.
I hated those.
sleepaway sports camps i hated those i went on sixth grade science camp and i remember the popular girls in my class were like furious that you we weren't allowed to bring razors to shave our legs
with i wasn't shaving my legs yet at that time but they were and it was like at the time where
they were like wanted everybody know that they shaved their legs. And they're like, oh, I can't believe I can't shave my legs.
Like I always do.
Yeah.
What am I for two days?
I can't shave my legs.
Oh, that's going to be disgusting.
For two days.
Yeah.
It was literally like a weekend.
That was remember Skintimate.
It was like required.
Yeah.
Remember Nair?
Did you guys ever Nair?
Yes.
I didn't Nair.
I was scared of that.
Or wait,
does it just dissolve it or is it wax? No, it's like chemicals.
You guys, you know, my sister dumped Nair all over my head when I was like two years old.
Oh my God. And my mom had to bring me in and get my haircut. And she was like,
they thought I was like abusing you because like your hair, like, like acidified.
Did it like dissolve your hair? Yeah. I don i don't i mean i don't know the details
but yeah that sounds like a like urban legend no that really did happen that really did happen
i have no memory of it i feel like near i i haven't looked into it but it can't be good for you
no it's definitely not good for you and i also remember this one good for you healthy one the
same popular girl in my class showed up when the buses were like coming to get us.
She showed up to school that day and head to toe leopard print.
What a bold choice.
And I like a leopard print cowboy hat, too.
And at the time I like judged her so hard.
I was like this bitch.
And now I'm like, that's iconic.
Like incredible.
Absolutely incredible. her so hard i was like this bitch and now i'm like that's iconic like incredible absolutely incredible wearing head-to-toe leopard and just screaming about how annoying it is you can't
shave your legs sixth grade absolute queen it was like must have been a shania twain era my first
thought was shania twain crossroads or like that you know jesus wow yeah anyways amanda where wherever you are now god bless you god bless
you what a choice you made i respect it what an identity to have um but so okay we're at
camp crystal lake 1958 we're getting the iconic
which i didn't know that that was from this movie i would like let i would
pay you to record that and i would like play it as something like sleep music yeah
um it's it's effective it's a little creepy but so we see the camp counselors. It's nighttime. They're singing around a fireplace.
And two of the counselors sneak off to go hook up in a storage room or one of the other cabins that's not being used. And they start to have sex.
This is going to be our first little hint of always be stressed, never be horny.
That will be a common
thread throughout this film. I feel like the 80s
were big on that in horror movies.
If you were fucking, you were going
to die. And
we see a POV shot
of someone coming into the room
and them noticing
and we're just seeing them like talking
straight to camera being like, we weren't
doing anything.
We were just looking for extra supplies or whatever. And then the guy gets killed.
You just seem to like, oh, you don't see what happens.
And then again, the POV is chasing the girl that's in this cabin.
is chasing the girl that's in this cabin.
And she's just running and flailing in such a way that's so overly dramatic and big.
And there's nowhere for her to go.
There's no door.
There's just basically empty cardboard boxes
in the direction that she's trying to run away
from the killer.
And so she's just flinging herself into boxes,
screaming like, where can i go and of course
she does not get away and she is also killed what was this movie rated is it like graphic or gory at
all or do they sort of i'm sure it was rated r shy And then we cut to Friday, June 13th, present day.
So 1980.
Oh, so these murders happened in 1958.
Yes.
OK, got it.
Yeah.
So we see a woman walking up to a iconic looking gas station.
I feel like this reminded me of cabin in the woods
this is i feel like there's always this like rickety looking gas station that starts off a
horror movie happened in um hills have eyes x yep yep yep lots of texas chainsaw massacre yeah it's
it's a it's a common thing.
And I don't know, this girl is so bright eyed and like bushy tailed with a huge smile on her face.
And she's got her big backpack and she walks up to a dog that's sitting at the gas station and says, hey, girl.
And then goes, excuse me.
Hey, boy.
And I just like the implication that she just
looked at the dog's dick. She's like, you have a penis. Excuse me. Excuse me. Hi,
hello, sir. I don't know why it really made me laugh. Um, and this is Annie and she is going to be the camp's cook.
So she's on her way to Camp Crystal Lake and she walks into an adult or like, yeah, she's like probably 17, 18.
I don't know. Yeah. She's a camp counselor age.
They're all like 17 to 19 ish.
They're all like 17 to 19 ish.
And she goes into a cafe in this small town and announces to everyone with, again, a big smile on her face in a way that normal people don't behave like, hey, everybody, I'm headed to Camp Crystal Lake. Like, can anybody give me a ride over there?
Is there any bus that goes over there?
And the whole hush falls upon the diner.
I don't have a plan.
there and the whole hush falls upon the diner i don't have a plan yeah and eventually they agree to have this one truck driver drive her so she walks out with him and as they're walking
towards his truck a guy pops out and says don't go there like you'll be you'll die if you go there
you're doomed it's that place is haunted and it's cursed like don't you'll die if you go there. You're doomed. It's that place is haunted and it's cursed.
Like, don't you'll die. And the truck driver pushes him out of the way. He's like, oh, get out of here, Ralph.
Get out of here. You're scaring the girl. And so crazy Ralph walks off while the truck driver is rolling his eyes at him.
And then she he helps her into the truck by grabbing her entire butt to hoist her up
it's so gross and she's just absolutely not reacting to any of any of this like she's just
like thanks so much mister like thanks for the push into the car with your hands on my butt like
let's go drive off i don't know you um absolutely Just clueless to the danger.
It's a different time. 1980. It was a different time.
Yeah. So she in when they're driving towards the camp Crystal Lake, he's saying he can't go all the way, but he can take her halfway.
And he on the drive tells her about a boy who drowned in the lake a year before the counselors were killed in 1958.
And he says a lot of bad things happened there. It is actually, you know, the towns,
we do kind of think it is cursed and we're all a little scared of it. I don't really want to take you all the way there. And she's like, you sound like crazy, Ralph. And she's rolling her
eyes at him. Doesn't doesn't take any of this seriously. So he drops her off halfway and she's rolling her eyes at him doesn't doesn't take any of this seriously so he drops her off
halfway and she gets out and starts walking on foot and then we cut to another car of counselors
driving towards the camp and this is uh ned marcy and jack and jack is notably Kevin Bacon. And they're all excited, joking with each other, having a good time.
Pull up to the camp and we meet Steve and Alice are already there.
Other counselors getting the camp ready.
It's kind of run down.
No one's been there in a long time.
So they have a lot of work to fix it up.
Steve is seems to be in charge.
He's older than the rest of them. He's probably 30 30 do you feel like it's been shut down since the murders has it been shut down that long
yeah i think so now they're getting it back together okay yeah who hired them is there
somebody like there um no there's like a little mention of of who they got permission from i don't know that anybody hired them i think
they just like asked if they could go do i don't know i don't really know i would love to run a
summer camp i don't have the personality to do it but i would love it if i if i did oh my god what a
dream that's very interesting Do you guys not agree?
I wouldn't love to do it.
No, I don't think I would love to do it.
It's also I just think it's interesting to like really want to do something that you don't feel suited for.
So therefore, it wouldn't be fun.
But you do wish you could have fun doing it.
Yeah, I do.
I do.
I just like the idea of like living in community in that way.
It sounds like really nice.
That is nice.
And like a beautiful
location with like no intense stakes as you can see in the photo behind me oh i love their outfits
look at those suspenders i know yeah i love the suspenders i love kevin bacon's little tiny shorts
i love when men are wearing little tiny shorts. It's great. It's really great.
Yeah, everyone's got some fun style.
And they've got a lot of work to do.
So everyone's tending to whatever their assigned job is, painting, fixing the little gutters or whatever.
And we get the sense that there is some romantic history between Steve and Alice.
Let me get a little photo of them up here.
Oh, my God.
Look at this.
Look.
This is really making me want like summer to be like summer, summer.
Like I want to I want to wear that outfit, his outfit by a river.
Oh, I guess for people who can't see these visuals, everyone's wearing hot, hot denim
shorts, belts.
Teeny tiny cut off.
This guy doesn't have a shirt on, but he does have a red handkerchief around his neck and
he's standing in a very suggestive way.
He honestly wouldn't look out of place today.
No.
No, he wouldn't.
No, he wouldn't no he wouldn't and we meet uh two other of the counselors bill and brenda
again just as we're kind of moving around the camp and oh brenda is setting up an archery range like
a big straw target thing she's setting it on basically an easel. This is where the archery
range will go. And right after she sets it down, Ned shoots an arrow at the middle of the target,
literally like inches away from her. And it really scares her. She yells at him like,
what the fuck? Like you could have hit me. And the special effects supervisor, Tom Savini,
Could have hit me.
And the special effects supervisor, Tom Savini, did that, like performed the arrow shot.
So I don't know.
It was just like real.
And I don't that really stressed me out.
We know there's actors rights issues at this time. And so I just feel like that could have been could have gone awry.
That could have gone awry.
I would not agree to that.
I one time did archery and I was so scared the whole time because it's just like this
is a fucking crazy
weapon and yeah I was in a place where there were literally a hundred people with bow and arrows and
I was just I felt really stressed I did not like it was this place the Ren Faire no it was an
archery range it was in LA okay I felt the same way about axe throwing people got really into
axe throwing and I'm like what the fuck are we doing just like letting
regulars throw axes?
So,
I'm...
Henley?
You love axe throwing. What if?
No, okay, so you know I'm coming to LA next week.
It's for my team offsite.
One of the things, one of the like
optional activities on Thursday
night is axe throwing and on our Slack channel, one of the like optional activities on Thursday night is axe throwing.
And on our Slack, on our Slack channel, we had to like throw a little checkmark if you're coming, throw a little negative mark if you're not coming.
And I waited as long as humanly possible to respond and then finally got a personalized message being like, you have to respond to axe throwing.
I'm one of only two people who's not going.
I've got to tell you, there are like 36 check marks, two negative marks.
One of them, the other person is like leaving, going back to London. I have no excuse. No one's
asked me what my excuse is. All I've done is said I'm not going because I really don't want to go
axe throwing. I really just don't want to. With like co-workers. Proud of you for sticking to
what you want. I think that's great. I just really don't want to do that. You don't have to do
anything you don't want to do.
They called it optional and even though everyone's
going, I'm not
going to do it. Don't do it. No!
Don't do it. You don't gotta do that.
Thank you.
Getting a new Rob
background on Emily's screen.
Damn.
He's got some great photo shoots.
The man is extremely photogenic excuse me science's most
perfect face wait you mean pat and oswald's
pat and oswald's face is perfectly nice but it's not science's best no um but i just yeah i wanted
to flag that because tom savini i recognize that name i think he's done a lot of makeup and special effects.
He did it for Dawn of the Dead as well.
And he's also an actor.
So the name sounded familiar to me.
But this and then something else that he happens later made me really mad.
We're mad at you, Tom.
Yeah, we're mad at you, Tom.
So there is a thunderstorm, a brewing.
I love a thunderstorm
do we know where in the country this is by the way?
I think New Jersey somewhere there
yeah
summer camp in New Jersey gross
I don't actually know for sure
but Steve
is going to head into town to get some
supplies as he
leaves we cut back to Annie the
cook that's still trying to get there,
hitching a ride with someone in a green Jeep.
And we don't see who it is.
We just see her again,
smiling so happy.
Thanks so much for picking me up.
I'm headed to Camp Crystal Lake.
And they pass the turnoff for Camp Crystal Lake And they pass
The turn off for Camp Crystal Lake
And this jeep does not slow down
And finally Annie starts
Getting nervous
Says I think that might have been the turn off
Fast there
Could you stop? I'll just get out here
And the person is not stopping
And eventually she opens
The door and jumps out of the car.
Oh, shit.
Good for you, Annie.
Yeah, I didn't think you had it in you.
I hope to never have to do that.
I hope so, too.
I hope that for everybody.
Jump out of a moving car.
People do it a lot in movies, and I bet it would hurt.
She's running through the woods now,
trying to get away from this person that we see is pursuing her.
And it's a long chase.
She is really hurt.
Yeah.
Cause she fell out,
jumped out of the car.
So she's stumbling and in pain.
And eventually the person catches up with her and slits her throat.
And we see it.
Oh no.
So we see it happen. Yep a little close-up of that throat
being slit what you're gonna show us a picture of it don't do that no i don't have a picture of it
oh i thought you said oh here's a little close-up okay sorry you'll get a close-up book something
something else later but for now you're safe okay thanks okay so this is death number three i'm
counting because i need to know
Okay yes good yeah keep track
And then we cut back to the camp
And we see all the counselors going for a swim
This is the little
Dock area
Looks nice and
After they've swum
They're like on the
Swam? Swam? Swam?
They've been swimming.
After they've been swimming.
The word is been swimming.
I don't think that's right.
Swam?
I don't think that's right.
Swam? Swam?
Been swimming.
Past tense swim.
Swam. It can't be swam.
It's definitely not. It's swam.
It's swam, but I mean in this context. Swim. I can't be swum. It's definitely not. It's swam. It's swam. But I mean, in this context, I think that you would say after they'd been swimming.
After they're done swimming.
Yeah.
Swum. They're laying on the shore and Ned is still in the water and he starts flailing around and screaming and kind of going under.
he starts flailing around and screaming and kind of going under and the speed at which all of them kick into gear is incredibly impressive they say something's wrong with ned they all jump up grab
the life preservers literally all six of them or however many there are like jump into the water
swim out to him one of them takes a canoe out and they like get him into the canoe dang so these are well prepared camp counselors
we're it's impressive and then they get ned onto the dock and are doing cpr and he kisses whoever
the brenda or whatever he was faking it and i would be so fucking mad i would be too not okay
it's not funny and they are all like oh my god ned you silly goose and i would be too. That is not okay. It's not funny. And they are all like, oh my God, Ned, you silly goose.
And I would be like, Ned, you fucking piece of shit.
If you ever fucking do that again, I'm never speaking to you literally ever again.
That did remind me, though, that my favorite thing in horror movies is when people are competent.
It's like the most fun experience when people are good at fighting back i love it more
than anything that's not what this was but yeah i got a little taste of it and i want more yeah it
it did show us that they are capable of reacting in an emergency situation uh which is a good omen
for what showed us two important things they are capable and Ned is a piece of shit. Ned's a piece of shit. Both of those we'll see more of later.
We get some more POV shots like through the woods.
Someone is watching them.
So and more of the.
Yes.
Please keep doing that.
I find that deeply soothing when you do that.
That's the definition of ASMR
yeah I'm not really into
ASMR but I like
you Sammy doing that sound
great
so
then we see Alice in her
cabin Alice is the one that
has something with Steve
not to be confused with Annie who's dead
okay we won't
be hearing from her again we won't be hearing from her again and alice is cleaning up her cabin
getting her little bed ready or whatever and sees a snake slithering around in the cabin screams and
again everyone comes to her like side right after like what's going on
and she says there's a snake and they they like flip the bed she's like i can't sleep in here
with the snake in here you have to kill it and so one of the guys i can't remember bill comes in
with like a shovel or something flips the bed over and chops this snake in half and as i was watching it i was
like they 100 chopped this snake in half for real really and they did and it's even worse than that
yes oh absolutely like in watching i was like there's no fucking way this is fake
they brought a real snake in and chopped it's worse it's worse than that it's worse than that
no why no it's not because they had to do it a bunch of times they had to do it a bunch of times They brought a real snake in and chopped it in half? It's worse than that. It's worse than that. No, why?
No, it's not.
Why?
Because they had to do it a bunch of times.
They had to do it a bunch of times.
No, no.
It's thankfully not that bad.
They practiced on like a puppy?
Okay, not that bad.
Not that bad.
No, but this was Tom Savini's idea.
This was not in the script, but he said that this happened to him one time at a camp.
And so he's like, we should do this. And I don't have a weird thing with snakes it just happened to me
once they hired an animal trainer and this was his pet snake and they did not tell him they were
gonna do this no and they did it for real and they killed his fucking pet snake for real and the
animal trainer had to be held back from like crying and he like wanted to hit what's his face tom savini he
fucking shut up and was like devastated isn't that horrible oh my god there's nothing you could say
about this movie that would be more horrific than that i know i'm so upset that's devastating
that's like so cruel that's fucked up i hope that the animal trainer
took tom to court over that because tom savini i'm looking this motherfucker up who is this guy
he's still working he's no not if i have anything to do he's in something coming up that i was like
oh man he's still getting like good he's like an actor. How the fuck do you see?
He's in.
Oh, the Black Phone, which is the movie coming up with Ethan Hawke.
Oh, with Ethan Hawke.
One of the like special effects supervisors on that.
I'm sorry.
This looks like a guy who would kill your pet snake and not be upset about.
Wow.
That looks like Guy Fieri.
Yeah.
I was really upset to hear that.
I'm going to write him a letter.
And yeah, Tom, if you're listening and we know you are.
You can go fuck yourself.
Fuck yourself.
Tom, that really was that really was not OK.
And I hope you are.
I hope you've apologized.
I hope you really feel like that was a wrong choice.
But I looked up if they did a court thing and it was kind of just like there's not really
much to do.
And it's I think you could get like a thousand dollars or something.
It's just not really worth the headache.
Cool.
Because like the thing happened.
You get the right.
The pet is dead.
You killed my pet.
Like what?
I can't get that back.
You killed my pet. Very you i can't get that back you you killed my pet
very upsetting oh god that that's like i don't understand i don't understand that's like so
unnecessarily all of them had to the director had to okay that i mean i feel like well i guess i
don't know who for sure knew that they were gonna do it for real and maybe it was one of those
things where they're like let let's not tell them.
And everyone can react for real when we chop this snake in half for real.
I really hate that.
That's so awful.
It's terrible.
Snakes are cool.
Yeah.
Sorry.
That's the worst.
That's the worst of it.
Probably.
Let's just wrap it up.
Roll credits.
Let's wrap it up.
So I think we're done here. Then a cop comes by looking for crazy ralph
crazy ralph is uh on the loose and i guess they need to figure out where he went and later when
alice is cleaning some more she finds ralph in a closet just standing in a closet and he comes out
of her and again says this place is cursed you're
doomed you're doomed if you stay here and all of them all of them run in and are shooing him out
of the cabin and he turns he as he's getting on his bicycle to ride away he's like god sent me
here to warn you you're all doomed you're all doomed literally couldn't he says it just a
hundred times so many times this warning from a stranger
another good trope and now it's getting dark and we see everyone is somewhat split up again still
tending to their own little assigned tasks and we see ned hears something coming out of his cabin like whimper and says uh is hello can i help you
somebody in here and goes in to investigate we cut away we don't see what happens
and it's starting to get stormy some we're hearing some thunder uh and lightning is flashing and the lighting of the lightning flashing is very
uh it's just ridiculous it's like a flashlight shining at them just the
the lighting department did a real bad job making it actually look like lightning it's
very funny it's just like the warmest light, like a sun for just a second.
Sun. It's so
funny. But they're like, oh, lightning, we better get
inside. And Marcy
and Jack seem to be a couple
and they run into their
cabin and they
are starting
to get a little
hot and heavy,
starting to canoodle.
And we know what that means.
Murder.
Murder.
And they're hooking up on the bottom bunk.
There's bunk beds.
And as they're hooking up, the camera pulls up to reveal that in the top bunk is Ned's dead body with his throat slit.
Oh, gross.
Oh, no.
Not good.
Ned's dead.
That's our fourth body.
Four.
Number four.
Okay.
Five if you count the snake.
I bet.
I bet.
I do count the snake.
I bet we're about to get five and six.
the snake i bet i bet i bet i do i bet we're about to get five and six and we cut to one of the other cabins kind of the main hangout cabin where alice bill and brenda are decide to play strip monopoly
i thought a funny detail that happened was i think it's brenda that goes first and she rolls the dice
and goes double sixes.
But the camera's close enough to see that that's definitely not what she rolled.
It's like a one and a two.
But it's just the script obviously called for her to say double sixes.
And they're like, oh, you mean you can't force her to roll double sixes every time.
So it just made me like double sixes.
It's not.
We can't not show it.
Fuck it. Use use that use that take
after marcy and jack finish having sex marcy gets up to go to the bathroom and she puts a little
raincoat over her underwear and a little t-shirt and just goes out into the rain barefoot in just
her like underwear and a raincoat and Jack stays
laying in bed and lights
up a cigarette and
a drop of blood
hits him on the forehead
I don't like this
it's gross and as he presses
his hand to it and looks at it
a hand comes from below
the bed and grabs him
and holds him down someone is under the bed and grabs him and holds him down.
Someone is under the bed
and an arrow
comes out through
his chest and it comes
like slowly enough that first
the skin just like mountains
before the arrow
breaks through. It's so gross.
How did they do that?
That's interesting.
Oh my god, ew, I don't like that ew gross gross that hand on his head is like really nasty too
yeah it's scary this is genuinely i feel like was i had bunk beds as a kid and this was a constant
fear of mine that someone was under the bunk i guess most kids are afraid of someone under the bed but yeah uh yeah it being a bunk bed really took it to another level
for me and when you're on the top bunk there's a source of space for somebody to be exactly i was
always scared of bunk beds i was scared i would roll off the top bunk and die so i would never
go on a top bunk which is like the whole fun of bunk beds but it scared me i had the rail on the
top yeah sure i was i was convinced i would fling myself enough in my sleep i would just fall off which is like the whole fun of bunk beds, but it scared me. I had the rail on the top. Yeah, sure. I was,
I was convinced I would fling myself enough in my sleep.
I did fall off the top bunk once in my sleep and I didn't actually,
I didn't actually with the rail.
I didn't wake up.
I don't know if it was with the rail or not.
Maybe you didn't wake up.
I didn't wake up.
My mom heard a noise and came into my room and I was sitting cross-legged in
the middle of the floor.
What?
Asleep.
Wait, did you hurt yourself?
I did.
I bruised a rib.
You fell off the bed and then sat up and stayed asleep?
I guess so.
Were you on hard drugs?
No, I think I was like 10.
I think it's so scary to walk in and find your child asleep sitting upright.
That's terrifying.
Kids are scary.
A thump and then to walk in and your kid's like...
That'd be very scary.
Very, very scary.
So keep an eye out, hon.
Okay.
Kids are scary.
Kids are fucking scary.
Kids are scary.
They are.
So we go back to...
Okay, so that's five.
Fucking scary.
They are.
So we go back to.
OK, so that's Marcy is we see her in the bathroom and we're getting those POV shots again. And we're seeing someone is in there with her.
This guy moves fast.
As she's at the sink washing her face and brushing her teeth or whatever, she hears something in there with her and calls out
thinking it's Jack or one of the other counselors messing with her. And she pinpoints the noise as
coming from the shower room. So there's these little shower stalls with curtains.
And she one at a time opens each of these shower curtains. Like, I know you're in here.
It's empty, empty, empty.
And the last one is also empty.
And she says, must have been my imagination.
And we see a shadow of an axe rising behind her.
Oh, no.
And she turns and makes this face.
Just no reaction to run or anything just immediately crying which you know
who knows what you would do in that situation that looks about right that looks about right
uh and she gets an axe straight to the face and again it shows it it shows her uh
a face cut in half and it looks pretty good. Oh, gross.
Which is, I guess, probably Tom Savini to thank.
Okay, you know what? That just made me so mad.
Okay, six deaths, first of all, I don't want to forget.
Second of all, Tom Savini,
if you're a fucking makeup
prosthetics
genius, you can't make
a fake snake that looks
realistic. You can do an axe to the face but you're not
gonna do a fucking fake snake yeah ridiculous absolutely ridiculous absolutely ridiculous
unacceptable so we go back to the the three other counselors playing the strip monopoly
and it's taking ages and everyone is still mostly
fully clothed well uh brenda and bill are mostly unclothed she still has a bra and underwear on he
still has his underwear on but alice seems to be winning she is still clothed which is our first
hint that she'll probably be our final girl because i feel like we're not sexualizing her yet and the door blows open from the storm and it scares them and
and brenda i think at that moment it's like i should get i should get into bed anyways like
i'll head back to my cabin and again she doesn't put any of her clothes back on she just throws a
raincoat over her bra and underwear summer camp baby i guess but again i don't think she puts shoes on and just is like bye
it's just so strange to me and we see steve at a diner in town talking to the waitress there saying
or like closing out his bill or something like he had dinner there and was like okay like time
for me to head back to the campers and And we see he gets into a green Jeep.
In the driver's seat?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, and that's the, it was a green Jeep before.
Oh.
Okay.
Back at the camp, we see Brenda getting into bed.
And as she's, she's in a nasty nightgown now.
And she's, opens up a book.
Is about to have a nice little evening bedtime reading time and hears, help me.
Like really softly, help me.
And she gets up and goes outside.
This time, no raincoat, just a nasty nightgown.
It's pouring rain now.
She's getting immediately drenched and she's following the voice and saying, where are you?
Where are you?
I'm like, I can help you.
Where are you?
And ends up in the middle of the archery range.
And all the lights turn on.
And she can't see.
And they're like really bright.
And so she can't see anywhere around her. And we just see that she's standing basically right in front of that archery target from earlier and it cuts away and we just
hear screaming back in the cabin with alice and bill alice says like i think i heard a scream and
the lights at the archery range just went on bill they're already off again already but bill is like okay let's go check it out i
don't know why that would have happened so the two of them go to check that they don't see anything
there and they go to the cabin where jack and marcy and ned would have been and none of them are there and they find a bloody axe tucked in one of the beds
like it's sleeping in the bed and alice goes what is going on
can't be anything bad what the heck is going on little axe into sleep
and she says i think we should call someone and they go to the cabin that has a phone
in it phone line is dead try another phone that phone line is also dead they go out to the truck
that they drove up in and the car won't start and she asks bill what's the matter with the car and he says it's too wet which i don't think is a thing it's too wet the car won't start
that's like me anytime anybody asks me a question i don't know the answer to yeah it's a guy it's
this yeah it's definitely this it's wet it's too wet i know so they're scared and they don't know
what to do they can't they can't figure out.
They can't leave. They can't call anybody. But they say, OK, Steve's going to be back soon.
So and he's got a car and we'll just wait for Steve and everything's going to be great.
They go back inside. Meanwhile, Steve's car breaks down like just a little bit away from the camp.
a little bit away from the camp.
And so he walks on foot the rest of the way.
And as he's walking up,
he runs into someone again,
POV and says,
Oh,
what are you doing out here so late?
And then Steve is killed.
Oh, so Steve knows this person.
Okay.
Then the power goes out for the whole camp and bill goes to check the generator
yeah now it's just bill bill and alice left and bill goes out to check the generator alice tries
to get some sleep which i feel like is also a really weird thing to do in this instance she's
like what i guess you would be pretty tired.
But all like literally everyone, you know, is missing and you just found a bloody deck.
Yeah.
So I'll get some shut.
I'll try to get some rest.
Sure.
And she's not what I would be doing. Yeah, she does fall asleep for a second and then wakes up screaming and gets scared like she's had a nightmare or something and goes to find goes
to search for bill uh as she's looking in the generator room she doesn't see him but then as
she walks out of the generator room she closes the door and he is pinned to the door with arrows
uh this person loves archery. One's in his eye. Eww. And.
Okay, so now she knows something's really wrong.
Yeah, so now we're really scared.
She goes back into one of the cabins and starts really inefficiently trying to, like, reinforce it.
I mean, it's good that she's making an effort to.
Right, right.
What else are you going to do, I guess?
I just remembered
something I might know about this
movie because of Scream yes
I was gonna say I was trying not to
remind you
I don't know I don't remember
great because yeah
it is spoiled in Scream
but so she takes a rope
and
starts to it's like a rope on the ceiling that she ties onto the door
handle so that whoever's on the other side of the door like won't be able to pull it open and she's
like moving all the furniture in front of it and she's closing some of the curtains but not all of
the curtains and she'll at some points be looking out the window which the way that it works when
there's light inside and it's dark outside so you're not gonna be able to see anything but they're just going to be able to very much see you yeah so she's
trying to be smart about some things but also is not being smart about other things and she but
she's panicking she's freaking the fuck out and that is understandable yeah and as she's huddled up in the corner of one of the rooms trying to hide
brenda's body is thrown through the window and we see she's all cut up and dead and i don't think
she has arrows in her though but she's she's sliced she's sliced in the face. Jesus. And she's screaming and she runs out
of that cabin
and as she's running out,
she sees a green Jeep
driving up
and she runs toward it
going, Steve, Steve, Steve.
Oh, no.
And out of the van,
out of the Jeep
comes a woman
in like a little cable knit sweater, an older woman in her 50s.
Alice is crying and and and like throws herself at her, hugs her and is like, oh, my God, they're all dead.
They're all dead. And the woman is trying to calm her down, being like, oh, my God, sweetie, tell me what's going on.
Like I used to work. I used to work here a time ago and just thought i'd pop up in the middle
of this stormy night and she says i'm mrs vorhees like tell me tell me what happened oh i remember
something but i don't think i remember from scream i think it's from one of those doc
documentaries we watched yeah maybe okay so she's like show me what happened show me
show me like your friends like and so alice starts taking her around to show her the
massacre that has happened and mrs vorhees is making a real big show of being like
oh my god and like like throwing yourself news to me i've been like oh the horror the absolute
horror oh my god like as if she's gonna faint she's playing it real big and alice from this
to her credit is already like suspicious and she's like okay this is she's being a little
dramatic about this even though it's like a bunch of dead people she's still being weird about it then mrs vorhees turns to alice
gets a somewhat sinister look on her face and says did you hear about the boy that drowned here
the year before the murders 1957 his name was jason he should have been watched by the counselors but
they weren't watching they were busy having sex nice and she says wow jason was my son and today
is his birthday and alice is oh my god getting very scared now and And Mrs. Voorhees kind of looks off into the distance and has a bit of a flashback vision.
We see the little boy drowning and calling out, help me, help me.
And Mrs. Voorhees says, I am, Jason.
I am.
And she's great. I feel like, yeah, what was her name? Betsy Palmer. She reminds me a lot of Amy
Sedaris. Like, just the way that she's playing it so big and so over the top. It's pretty fun.
And she starts screaming at Alice, you let him drown you didn't pay any
attention to him you let jason drown and she pulls a knife from her waist and a big knife
and starts charging at alice and alice stumbles back and grabs a fire poker from the fireplace
my weapon of choice love of fire poker and smacks mrs warheese really hard mrs warheese falls she
smacks her again you love to see someone take a second shot when you gotta when the killer has
been always do more than you feel is necessary uh but she stops at two which i feel like not enough
it's still not enough uh and she runs out of the cabin screaming screaming screaming screaming
bloody murder i guess this actress got this part from her screams and she's good at screaming but
it's also when you're running from someone the person yeah you probably don't want to make as
much noise as possible like the volume is is high and as she's screaming she's now running into
all of the other dead bodies that
she hadn't found yet like
the one at the archery range I
think and
Steve like falls down from
somewhere like he's because she's been hiding
I guess Mrs. Voorhees has been hiding these bodies
and now they're all kind of this woman is so
good at her job she's like her
job and I hope she's getting paid her job of this woman is so good at her job she's her job and i hope she's
getting paid her job of this is her career job of being a serial killer of just hauling these
full grown people around she brought steve there to then hide him i have so many questions but i'm
not i'm going to reserve them until we get to the game al Alice hides in a room full of guns, but she can't find the
bullets. And so there's just all these guns and she can't load it. And Mrs. Voorhees comes in and
she's like, she's talking to herself in kind of a split personality type way where she's part Jason,
part Mrs. Voorhees. And she's saying, kill her, mommy, kill her. I am, Jason. I will, Jason. And
Alice doesn't have any weapons that are functional. And so as Mrs. Voorhees is approaching
her, she's just grabbing shit off the tables and throwing it at her. And one of the things she
grabs is a literal ball of yarn. That's really funny. And eventually mrs vorhees charges at her slaps her a bunch
because i guess she doesn't have her knife handy and they get into another little fight and alice
is able to get away again like gets past her and goes into another one of the cabins hides in a storage closet like the kitchen
i think is what like the the um pantry and again mrs vorhees finds her and now she has a machete
and she like holds it up like she's about to strike alice with it and alice grabs a big fat
like cast iron frying pan and smacks mrs vorhees with that and knocks her out and her head is bleeding.
So now we're feeling pretty good.
That looked like a pretty good shot.
And Alice runs out to the waterfront by the docks and is huddled by the water crying.
At this point, like, what would you do?
I feel like i would keep running
but she just stops and cries not to shame her but i think i would keep running for sure i would
keep running just from like adrenaline i think you would want to keep moving just because like
you wouldn't know what else to do yeah but thankfully she's crying, looking right over into the water and is able to see the reflection of Mrs. Voorhees once again coming for her again with the machete.
Alice grabs a or one of the paddles from the canoes and hits her with it.
It like breaks in half.
So now the or is to like stabby pieces of wood And the machete has fallen and knocked out of her hand.
So now they're kind of fighting with these little pieces of wood.
And Alice kicks her or something and is able to scramble away for a second and grabs the machete, turns back, swings it.
We get a super, super slow-mo shot of Mrs. Voorhees' face like, oh, no.
And she decapitates her and her head flies off.
It's a very funny little shot because I just think that would be incredibly difficult to do.
You would have to be so strong.
It's like so much force would be required to do that.
To do a full beheading.
Yeah, but she does it.
In one swipe. Yeah, incredible.
She does it.
And she did it. She killed her. Great.
And she is
completely, you know, in shock
and she just gets
into one of the canoes and
pushes it out into the middle of the lake.
And she doesn't have
the oar anymore because it's split in half, so she's just middle of the lake. And she doesn't have the oar anymore because it's split in half.
So she's just floating in the lake.
And the next day, the sun is shining.
And we just see her hanging over the side of the canoe, looking exhausted.
And we see police cars arriving at the camp.
And they notice her in the water and are calling out to her like, come in, come in.
We feel like we're here to save you.
And as she's looking like, oh, my God, like things are going to be OK.
Nice music is playing.
And then from the water out comes fucking Jason.
What? And then from the water out comes fucking Jason. Wait, that was that photo.
That was the photo that you accidentally had on before.
I was wondering where that was going to come.
That's why he wears a mask.
Yeah.
But like, this doesn't make sense.
Like he has literally been dead for 30 years.
I don't get it.
So then it cuts to black and she wakes up
screaming in a hospital and so it's like
oh was she imagining it
this didn't happen okay
she says to the doctors
are tending to her and being like oh it's okay
it's okay and she's like are they all dead
are they all dead and they say yeah
all your friends are dead that part's not okay
oh yeah sorry yeah that's
sorry when I said it was okay I meant you're alive sorry you're alive you're. That part's not okay. Oh, yeah. Sorry. Yeah, that's... Sorry, when I said it was okay, I meant...
You're alive.
I meant the other stuff.
Sorry, you're alive.
You're alive.
But it's not...
It's bad.
Everybody else is dead.
And she says, what about the boy, Jason?
And they say, what?
Like, there was no boy.
And she said that Jason in the lake, I saw him.
He grabbed me.
He, like, knocked me out.
He's the reason I was unconscious.
And I don't remember getting here.
And they're like,
there's no Jason.
We never found any boy.
And she goes,
then he's still out there and looks off into the distance.
And that's the end of the movie.
Very interesting.
So we don't even get hockey mask at all.
Isn't that wild? I was shocked. We don't even, we don't even get hockey mask at all isn't that wild i was shocked we don't even
we don't really even get jason at all it's not jason is not really the killer in this
which is what ghost face says in scream yes okay okay it was mrs vorhees yes
wait so it's on the cover of the film and stuff, is there a hockey mask or does none of that come until the second movie?
It doesn't even come until the third movie.
Really? It's so iconic. That doesn't make any sense to me.
Well, there's 12 movies, so there was still 10 movies of hockey mask.
With the hockey mask.
But yeah, I was shocked. I didn't know that. I assumed that it would be in this movie, but it's not.
And I'm shocked that it's not in the second because Jason is in the second movie, but he wears a bag over his head like a sack of burlap sack with idols.
Oh my God. It takes a while to sort of get his vibe.
So Jason, as we meet him in the future films, is a reanimated corpse, essentially.
Again, Betsy Palmer, that was another thing that she had said or she
was just like well that's stupid she's like yeah i have no idea who jason is because jason's dead
but i think they just had enough success that they're like yeah fuck it he just comes back
from the dead maybe he didn't die yeah i'm curious to see the the reasoning, the explanation behind it.
I guess we never really see his face or his like body.
So we don't know.
Well, I think we just saw it a little bit in future films.
But yeah, I just want to know what's going on under under that mask, I guess.
Yeah.
I mean, only 11 more movies to go and we'll find out.
Yeah, I guess I guess we've got plenty of opportunities
let's only do these movies from here on out um wow okay very interesting yeah i'm curious to
know listeners where you rank the friday the 13th movies in that the kind of iconic killers michael
freddy ghost face is do people like jason are these movies
do they like think he's cool um i'm also i i guess i wonder too like now that he's maybe it
maybe dead or like a corpse it maybe makes more sense that he and freddie hang out or i guess
our enemies but yeah maybe that's something to explore there because I thought he was like a living
person but maybe he's not
yeah maybe he can transcend the
dream world
only 10 people died this was
a mom movie after all and
as you guys know I'm only into mom content
yeah this is good for you
I loved it the greatest
mom Pamela Voorhees
Voorhees is such a great name.
When people ask me what kind of mom I want to be like or if I have any role models, now I'll be able to say Pamela Voorhees.
That's right.
And only that will that really suss out who I want to hang out with pretty quickly, whether they get that reference or not.
Good litmus test.
Sammy, thank you for doing such an excellent job
Once again
Can you do the little noise again
I could just take a nap
Yeah I'm happy we did this
It's been
Almost three years of the podcast
And
Took us this long to do this classic.
And to be honest, you know, it wasn't my favorite.
I'll say that.
Doesn't feel like it really had a lot of much going on other than, oh, you're dead.
Oh, you're dead.
Yeah.
You're dead.
I think I'm more interested in the later ones where they get sillier because that's part of what I like about Nightmare on Elm Street so much is how silly Freddy is and how much fun he's having.
And I guess Mrs. Voorhees was a little silly at the end, but there's not much of it.
It's just at the very end that we get that.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
I want a campier version.
Yeah, I'm into that.
I want to see him in space. I want to see him in space. I want to see him take that. I want to see him in space.
I want to see him in space. I want to see him take Manhattan.
I want to see him take Manhattan.
It's just that phrasing, take Manhattan.
It's so fun loving and joyful.
It reminds me of going shopping.
The Olsen twins take Manhattan.
He probably never got to go to Manhattan.
It's probably his little sort of vacation.
Jason takes Manhattan. Jason takes Manhattan.
Jason takes Manhattan.
Great video up, Sammy.
