It's summertime, and that means a trip to Camp Crystal Lake! This week the Brides break down the unintentionally hilarious, still pretty effective Friday the 13th. It's got everything Halloween's got...because it deliberately ripped off Halloween. Let's face it, this movie is real silly and is mainly a vehicle for gory kills, but it can't be overstated how important Friday the 13th is to the creation of the slasher genre. Along the way we fawn over Tom Savini's makeup effects, consider the horny properties of religious hymns, and debate the effectiveness of Mrs. Voorhees trying to slap Alice to death. Also, how great are Steve's jorts? SO GREAT.
Friday the 13th. 1980. Directed by Sean Cunningham.
