So it’s Friday the 13th!! What better way to celebrate than to pay homage to the king of the day: Jason Voorhees. That poor lad who drowned at the worst summer camp in the world-Camp Crystal Lake-has become a horror icon for the ages. Donning his hockey mask and wielding his slashing implement of the day (my fave is the classic machete), Jason chi-chi, ha-ha’ed into our hearts and nightmares, leaving an unhealed scab that horror fans will pick at forever. For your viewing pleasure, here are some clips (in no specific order, I just dug them) from his creepy slasher career (my favourites were Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan and Freddy VS. Jason):
Be it at Camp Crystal Lake, in space or in a thriving metropolis like Manhattan, Jason defies time and logic with his tenacious blood lust fueled by revenge. Let’s raise a glass to the one and only king of #13 because he will live on forever! Please let me know what your faves were in Mr. Voorhees illustrious career!
Well ya can’t go wrong with the king of camp slashers. Or campy slashers. 🙂
