Due to my Dollhouse addiction (the TV show!  ) circa the actual Friday the 13th last week, I had to postpone my Friday the 13th marathon but I'm happy to report that it's finally underway and I just finished part III. Tomorrow will catch parts IV and V, hopefully more. Of course, I realize that there weren't that many participants in this thread to begin with and those that did have this year's Friday the 13th celebration in their rear view mirror, but maybe the internet gnomes or sprites buzzing around the ether will appreciate my continuance. Plus, honestly, I'm sad to see this "holiday" go and am guilty of trying to keep this thread on life support well past its expiration date. Sue me! The next Friday the 13th holiday is not until 2012!!! 
I gotta say, about part III...love it, but wish they had made more of an effort to emulate something resembling Camp Crystal Lake, woods, or the like. I know they had a tiny budget, and the location was great with the iconic barn and everything, but it never feels right. It's the pinnacle of silly to find a fault like that in a goofy horror film like Friday the 13th Part III but I get so into the movies that I find that detail distracting these days. Also, while the editing is much tighter and impressive under Steve Miner's direction (compared to Cunningham's...yikes) that scene where Fox is exploring the barn is ridiculously dull...walking through and touching everything...and touching everything, slowly...picking up a canteen, smiling, putting the canteen back...starting to raise herself up as though she were going to climb onto the saddle and then...deciding not to...hitting cow bells with sticks...hahaha, I hold no shame in making fun of stupid details in a Friday the 13th film!

Deputy, my friend... glad you have finally gotten started with your marathon.  I know you will enjoy. We have discussed this a lot. Even though I was a good little boy (hardly) and did my marathon in record time, I am sure that I will be watching them very soon again.
Which one are you on now???
Took a break between part IV and part V to watch the awesome documentary His Name Was Jason. I love it when, over the end credits, all of the actors (twenty to thirty years after their film) quote their most famous line from whichever Friday the 13th film they were in. It's a kick to hear Amy Steel, thirty years older, say to the camera "There's someone in this fucking room!!!" or to hear David Kagan bark "That's what's known as screwin' the pooch!"  Love it when off-camera stagehands surround the actress who played the hitchhiker in part IV with a multitude of bananas!
That documentary was a lot of fun... Glad I got it when I did... hey, it got me into see the reboot for FREE! Woohoo! Amy Steel is still a knockout... And, I have always loved Lar Park Lincoln. I can only hope that we get another FRIDAY THE 13TH movie... and, while we are at it... some more Manfredini scores... (and a release of Steve Jablonsky's reboot score!!!).

So...what are you doing this Friday?
~-~-~-~
Get ready...prep your DVDs for a marathon, sharpen your machete, bust out the Manfredini box set, find your corkscrew, spread the word to your friends (preferably someone named Ned, Ted, or Terry), make sure the generator's working, don't eat those enchiladas, hold onto your American Express cards, bring your nipple clamps, keep your pearls away from telekinetics, say "please" when asking someone to return your wallet, see if Marcie left some grass, wear your Statue of Liberty necklace, no seconds on dessert for Jeff and Sandra, keep your candy bars away from Vic, don't forget Michael's birthday party...
(updated April 2012 for the apparent joy of Michael24 -- this one's for you, buddy!)
...clean the shit out of the chicken coop, pack a banana, ask Wayne to bring his camcorder, bandage up your Creighton-Duke-mangled fingers, wait for Rennie before starting senior predictions, study up on your child psychology (preferably with Ginny as tutor), stop to pet the cute dog (boy? girl?) at the gas station, grab some peanuts, orange juice, and donuts from Harold and Edna's convenience store, gas up the RV and grab your Alice Cooper tapes, try to get Nick to wash your car for you, stay clean during your menstrual cycle, watch out for rubber spiders, see if you can get a Jarvis sandwich, toss the anchor overboard (but watch out for those pesky underwater cables), go past the Dairy Queen, shout "eeeeeeeeeee-yah!" while preparing a chicken dinner, shine the buttons on the ass-pockets of Bree's jean shorts, sing a rousing version of "Jordan's River Is Deep and Wide (Hallelujah)/Milk and Honey on the Other Side (Hallelujah)", clean up after yourself so this place doesn't look like closing time at the stock exchange, clean up the empty bottles left by Martin, stay out of the gross shitbox, don't talk about Bill's feet in a terrible way, don't call Betty when you get back into town, give Chili something to scream about during sex, let Scott hang (he's a pervert), hit the noise and the cherries, strike that last comment from the record (the one about Jason being deader than shit), have Professor Lowe return Jason's machete to him, send Russell a formal invitation (party of 2), remind McCulloch that school is out, and shoot tha boot, shoot tha boot, shoot tha boot.
~-~-~-~
and in case you didn't know...
Jason's body has disappeared from the morgue. It was not stolen. Two people at the hospital are missing. Is this coincidence? He's alive.
**I hope you guys appreciate me celebrating Friday the 13th this weekend...I could be spending the weekend with Mary Jo Conrad.
~-~-~-~
Anyone who knows me knows I must give a shout-out to my favorite lovely lady in the entire Friday universe...
...miss Ginny Field.
~-~-~-~
Oh, what the hell...I can't forget sexy Terry the Tigress (best scream in the entire series!):
I'll go ahead and assume David Kessler will post the *best* picture of Terry...
