It was kind of odd Remake Jason went from "I will kill you all because I have mommy issues" to "I will kill you all because you touched my weed" but it was still pretty good

Jason vs Carrie in 7 was really great. I have a forever soft spot for Part 8, if only because Jason vs Boxing Guy was the best death in the series.

i will say, it's a hard franchise to share with people because even Friday 4 that I remembered being epic is a lot of boring wrapped around a few awesome moments and weirdness.

I was also playing and realized that the main thing missing from the game is the vice. Obviously the game can't really replicate the formula of the movies where a bunch of people happily gently caress and get high in ignorance while their friends are slaughtered around them without becoming a whole other game.

But it would be nice if there were sort of vice buffs around the cabins. Like you can heal by taking a shower. You can increase your composure by getting high. You can increase your strength by drinking. Increase your intelligence by watching weird vintage porn. Have them work as these twenty second animations that you get locked into and have them turn off the scary music so you don't know if Jason is approaching.

This reminds me of that awesome part of Until Dawn where Jess gets pissed at the killer and starts yelling into the woods. "We're gonna get drunk! And have lots of sex! And it's gonna be *hot*!"

Until Dawn was so cool

That Ki Ki Ki Ma Ma Ma was a thing even in the first movie when it was Pam killing people, so the explanation of it being a voice in Jason's head makes no sense. Unless it was Pam hearing Jason speak, and then later Jason hearing himself speak :colbert:

I just watched Part 2. It feels like you were actually meant to sympathize with the counselors, as they spend most of the movie building up their personalities before killing them all rapidly one after the other as the climax begins. The final survivor, Ginny, shows up to Packanack as snarky and talented and starts talking about Jason's theoretical psychological issues. When she actually gets confronted, she kicks him in the balls and whacks him with a chair, and bad luck is the only thing that prevents her from using Jason's broken mind against him and killing him while he's helpless.

Also, Jason is hilariously weak in his first appearance. He can be taken out just by kicking him in the nuts and anyone who's decently strong and persistent can fight him and nearly win. He also blatantly fucks up a few times, like missing a diving tackle and falling down a hill or the chair he's standing on breaking as he tries to attack. Some parts end up almost funny as you see him suffer the absolute worst luck.

I forget if it was the second or third where the Final Girl stabs Jason in the leg and he actually yells in pain, then spends the subsequent chase hobbling around. Those early movies were fun.

Okay Chad, that was a great idea to hide behind a corner for five straight minutes after the rest of us all died. Just needed to not whiff when Jason rounded the corner, yelp like a girl and then die.

That is basically my go to strat (because I'm turrible). Take Vanessa, run around like a loon. I'll die, but if you're loving around with me you aren't stopping others from doing important things. I win. Kinda

Bonus points for heading to the cabin, setting off the Pam Alarm and then whoop whooping off into the night

The latest Blair Witch did all that pretty well. The gang was well prepared with everything from constant access to Facebook to a loving remote drone to go above the treetops. Turns out this stuff will not help you versus a horror movie that really wants you dead.

I really don't enjoy doing the "Lala this movie isn't in my headcanon can't hear you" thing (because they're dumb slasher movies, who cares) but I steadfastly ignore any Halloween movie that came after H20. There was no better ending for the series than that. :colbert:

I've been rewatching them recently. It's kind of funny, I really like the cast of 3, except the movie itself is pretty drat bad and those cheesy 3D effects never stop. 4 is a much better movie on paper, but the kids are pretty forgettable outside of Tommy. And Crispin Glover

They really made double super certain he was dead at the end of 4 though. Like, there's taking an axe through a hockey mask and being hung. Great. 4 saw his head split in half, then Tommy deciding to make Jason burgers out of him when he twitched

That would fit a Pam-centric game much better too, since once she hits Act 3 she kind of gets the poo poo kicked out of her. Very mean through the first acts though

It's kind of funny, I feel like 3 was a terrible movie and goddamn painful to watch with the nonstop 3D stuff, but it also had the most memorable cast by far. Even if I didn't *like* Shelley I will remember Shelley. More than I can say for most of the Dead Teenager Brigade

Also whoever was playing Jason was amusing. I love him doing the harpoon shoot and then just kind of swaggering off like "Yup, I did that"
