Theater VI: Friday the 13th - The Final Chapter




It's Been Done Before show

Summary: Scary Movie Month is coming to a close.  One might even say it is the closing chapter of our holiday themed month, which would be quite a coincidence because we’re talking about Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.  In this fourth installment of the Friday the 13th franchise, a group of campers go to Crystal Lake for a relaxing vacation filled with fun and sex but Jason has a different set of activities planned for them.  This is the movie that introduces Tommy Jarvis and his family to the party and kills one of them very unceremoniously.  Everything in this movie is turned up to eleven because in 1984 they truly thought this would be the final film in the series.  What was with the hitchhiker and her banana?  Is there a better dancer than Crispin Glover on this or any other planet?  Why wasn’t Trish concerned by Rob’s strange line of questions?  Did Gordon commit suicide at the end of this movie?  How long did it take Tommy to transform himself into the weird young Jason monster he was at the end?  The movie actually holds up very well and is worth a rewatch if you haven’t seen it recently.  Thank you for all of the love you continue to show us.  Please rate and review the podcast wherever you get it and if you like the show, share it with your friends.  Have a great week.
