Fun With Horror - Wholesome Horror Movie Reviews

Happy Friday the 13th! 

The first of three Friday the 13ths in 2026, to be exact. And Scotty is joined once again by Stanley of The Gory Gays podcast to talk about the seventh installment in the series, "Friday the 13th, Part VII: The New Blood." They discuss John Carl Buechler's entrance into the Friday the 13th series, as well as Kane Hodder's first outing as Jason Voorhees. They discuss the idea of having a telekinetic final girl going head to head with Jason. And finally, they talk about what's coming next in this series of movies.

Two Corrections: In this episode, Stanley mentions that John Carl Buechler directed "Dolls", when he meant to say "Troll", which was released in the same year. Scotty also states that Russell is killed by Jason with a machete after Stanley says it was an axe. Stanley was correct. It was indeed an axe.

"Friday the 13th, Part VII: The New Blood" centers around Tina, a girl with telekinetic abilities. She's brought to a remote cabin next to Crystal Lake to try to help her work with her abilities, but in an emotional moment, she ends up resurrecting Jason Voorhees and releasing him from the bottom of Crystal Lake.

Happy Halloween, friends!!

In a special bonus Halloween episode, Andrew and Scotty grab some candy corn, light some candles, and turn off the lights, as they sit back on a cozy evening and recount some of their favorite horror movie watching experiences ever.

After that, they rank what they consider the Big Five Slasher Series: Halloween, A Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Friday the 13th, Child's Play, and A Nightmare on Elm Street, and then tell each other their favorite entries in each series, with the only rule being that they can't pick the first movie in the series they're discussing.

So grab some Halloween candy and have some fun... with horror!
