You see, Jason was my son, and today is his birthday... Join PJ and Derek as they discuss Sean S. Cunningham’s low-budget slasher that sparked a franchise that refuses to die in Friday the 13th (1980). In this episode the guys journey to the shores of Crystal Lake to unpack how this Halloween ripoff perfected the genre with its brutal kills, bloody special effects by Tom Savini, and an ending you never saw coming. 📺
