Me too lol

[@henriksvensson126]

Unpredictability and smart camera work without showing the killer, causing paranoia and keeping you guessing are qualities I find most important in a horror movie.

[@dreaveronica6944]

I'm so glad that, even with it being a point in Scream, there are still so many people that don't know Ms. Voorhees is the killer in the first film. It always makes these first time watching reactions entertaining when they are expecting this big brute of a man and and instead get this unassuming older woman just showing up and wrecking everything.

[@keithjones7037]

I love their genuine reactions because I don't think I've ever watched a first-time reaction of this film. This means that Friday the 13th still stands as a classic and is timeless.

[@renee7407]

“It looks like a painting...AAHHHHH!!” Fricken hilarious 😂

[@notexactly9145]

That mis-direct about the main character was so good in my opinion. Espacially with such an old film subverting that trope, really great.

[@thewinner7382]

Technically it wasn't really a misdirect because this was the first movie and there was no expectation Jason was the killer.

[@notexactly9145]

@@thewinner7382 i actually meant the girl that seemed to be like the main protagonist and then she just suddenly gets killed. But even when it comes to the killer it would still work since at that time having female killers( espacially older mom types really wasnt the trend) Plus it even used the old hitchhiking trope for one of the kills and those were mainly associated with male killers.

[@markwebster7435]

Long before Jason was turned into a supernatural being and long before Jason in space 🤣

[@BikinFilmYok]

I think Wes kind of wanted to do that too with Tina in Nightmare but yeah it’s more successful in this. Then again, the characters were less developed in this that you got no choice but to think she was the main character LOL.

[@notexactly9145]

@@BikinFilmYok Yeah, one of the only times I can think of where having underdeveloped characters actually helped the movie somewhat out xD And eventhough that didnt really work for Tina her death was still kind of a surprise for me the first time. Espacially with how brutal und outdrawn (is that the right word?) her death was.

[@emmybear2636]

A few answers to your questions. First, they call the girl that survives/fights the villain, the final girl. They tend to be the "good girl". The one who doesn't do drugs, doesn't drink, or even have sex. Second, Jason doesn't play a huge part in this film. He comes to play in the sequel and didn't get his hockey mask until the third movie. Third, the snake that they killed was real. This was before the Animal Welfare Act. This was to help with protecting animal "actors" and make sure that they are safe during production.

[@brandonhendrix7223]

What's ironic about the whole 'final girl's trope is they usually do smoke dope, drink, and or screw. Hell, in F13th 1 Alice does the first 2 and is implied she's screwing her boss and in Part 2 Jenny drinks and had sex. Even in Halloween Laurie smokes pot. In other words, the final girl concept is amusing but doesn't hold up to much scrunity. Especially when many victims don't drink, drugs, or have sex and still die.

[@Raine-97]

@@brandonhendrix7223 Exactly.

[@VinVonVoom]

That snake was actually somebody's pet they borrowed for the film, they told the owner it wasn't going to be harmed despite having full intentions of killing it.

Kids of the 70s and 80s had patience and not a need for constant stimulation. It was a slow burn movie that built up tension. I feel blessed to be born when kids were like that

[@DanJackson1977]

the FX were done by Tom Savini.. who was one of the 80's "Masters of Gore".. he got this gig based on his work on Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD (which he both did FX for, as well as acting and stunts). He also did makeup FX for THE BURNING, MANIAC, FRIDAY THE 13th PART 4 (the only one he came back for), CREEPSHOW, and DAY OF THE DEAD (85)

[@cassiemichael7414]

"That looks real." Me: Yeah, that was a real snake. The guy that owned it loaned it to the movie crew said it was an animal actor. He didn't know they were ACTUALLY GOING TO KILL IT! He was so angry when he found out what they did. It's the only real casualty in this whole movie, remember that, boys, and have a moment of silence in its honor. R.I.P. Snakey boy.

Wtf. I'd be pissed too. I'm not even a fan of snakes but that's strait bs. I'd sue the hell out of them

[@deadsetondreams1988]

I don't like snakes either, but that is a legit loss of revenue. Dude literally trained a snake to be used in films to have it get murdered...I thought if you had an animal actor you had to be with it on set. Unless that wasn't common during this time period of films. Okay I just read articles about it and he was on set with the snake so they killed the snake right in front of him and he had to be held back he was so upset. That's so messed up...

[@Libretio]

Saw this in a packed cinema in the summer of 1980 when I was only 14 years old (my mate's mum sneaked us in!), and the whole place had a whale of a time - jumping and screaming and laughing! Then I had to walk home along deserted highways and byways, late at night on my own, over three quarters of a mile! One of the scariest, and most memorable, nights of my life. Glad to see the film is still taking unwary travellers by surprise, even after all this time. Great video, guys!

[@handsomeian]

The reason Friday the 13th reminds you so much of Halloween is because it was made to bank off the latter's success. Because of how popular the first Halloween was, major studios began churning out slasher movies as quickly as possible because the public was by then hooked and wanted more. These movies were so similar that major slasher/horror movie tropes were born during this period, including the Final Girl, Asshole Victim and Death by Sex. But the reason Friday the 13th and Halloween still remain classics out of all of the slashers produced during this period was because of *why* these tropes were included. The movies had a warning message for the audience behind all that gore and suspense, and weren't just horror for the sake of shocking.

[@nathaiellaughton7569]

Black Christmas 1974 predates Halloween and is classed at the first Western slasher film, I think you guys would like it.

[@broadsword6650]

I saw these films as they were released and there was a definite “arms race” to be ever more gory, ever more explicit, ever more brutal, all done within the confines of super-low budgets versus expensive practical effects. There were hundreds of these things and you are watching the best, the classics. Most of the rest are all but forgotten, while the most extreme were dubbed “video nasties” and were actually banned in the UK. Hilariously, those same films - Cannibal Corpse, I Spit On Your Grave, etc - can now be seen for free on streaming services! Hollywood saw there was money to be made and started churning out slasher horror knock-offs and quickly (as with all genre movies) they started to parody their own style and became cliched and predictable, so horror then needed a fresh take and have new techniques and ideas, so we got “Found Footage” films like The Blair Witch Project, until they too got predictable. The history of horror film making is fascinating, but the best way to learn it is by watching the films cold, with as little prior knowledge as possible - just as you are doing. I’d like you to step away from American gore fests and sample something rather different: classic British horrors from an earlier era, such as The Devil Rides Out (1968), Witchfinder General (1968), and especially The Wicker Man from 1973. It would be fascinating to see if their more atmospheric style works for you.

[@ObsceneVegetableMatter]

This this this. The Devil Rides Out is super entertaining, and the good guys are like religiously intolerant villains! XD The Wicker Man is simply awesome and one of my favourite films of all time. Would also recommend Night of the Demon (aka Curse of the Demon) from 1957.

[@van8ryan]

Yeah, the classic "hockey mask" didn't show up until Part 3 (though Jason took over as the main killer in Part 2)

[@brianbara3204]

Boys, boys, boys... The first slasher movie is Hitchcock's "Psycho."

[@Concreteowl]

I guess Peeping Tom has more hall marks.

[@brianamiller1984]

Yup, Peeping Tom is more of a slasher than Psycho, although Hitch's effort has the comedy along with the big reveal that became two of the genres main hallmarks, Powell's masterpiece is definitely more lurid in the details, with a greater sense of palpable dread.

[@jonbolton3376]

My biggest giggle was your reactions at the end when she was in the boat.

[@fynnthefox9078]

The classic Young Jason jumpscare!

[@danielchavez4403]

The ending to Friday the 13th (1980) is still one of the most terrifying scenes in cinema history.

[@Lpace3]

Hockey mask wearing Jason didn't make his appearance till the sequels. It makes for a great trick trivia question: "Who was the killer in Friday the 13th?" Most people will say Jason Voorhees, but his mother was actually the killer.

[@losingstreak415]

[@spikedpsycho2383]

greatest jump scare in film history

[@Masky5150]

You’ve embarked on one of the most fun slasher series journeys with your watching of the first Friday the 13th. There’s a reason this series has so many sequels as they’re just entertaining slashers. The first film was to be a stand alone movie, an idea was spawned as you mention, after the financial success of this first film. And a pop culture icon would soon be born. There’s a reason Jason is such an icon in horror and one of the top slashers in the genre, if not the top slasher. You’ll soon find out. Enjoy the journey! Fun watching your reactions to this one, especially knowing what the reveal was going to be. I look forward to your reactions to the sequels, they’re definitely reaction worthy slashers lol

[@Gu3ssWhatsN3XT]

That's the best part of this movie, when you realize Jason isn't the main antagonist of this movie

[@mrleearnott]

Love the fact you didn’t know the last jump scare was coming. Your reactions were hilarious. Sean Cunningham (director) has been quite vocal about how he saw the success of Halloween and thought ‘I want a a bit of that.’ Betsy Palmer (Jason’s mum) was famous in the US for being squeaky clean, like a telly version of Doris Day. People were shocked to see her being so crazy and although she was sceptical (only took the job to get a new car) she was blown away by the reaction. Have you guys thought about ‘Carrie’? (Original version, obvs). Keep up the good work - hugely entertaining!

[@Predicador_Maniaco]

Guys, you need to watch "the thing" from the master john carpenter, the same director of halloween...

[@carsononthecobb]

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a must watch for you guys. It was one of the films that helped to lay the groundwork for what slashers would become.

[@JMulvy]

Yes, they actually chopped up a real snake on set. It wasn't even part of the script but the director decided that "killing" it off-screen did not have enough of a visceral impact and the animal handler that brought it was not made aware of the fact until AFTER the scene was shot. Needless to say they faced a lawsuit over property damage for the snake, but this was before and part of the reason why we now have animal cruelty laws in film making. This movie is also why we have laws involving minors in nude scenes now because Sandra at the time was only 15 years old and they had planned a full nudity scene for her character until the studio found out. However, in their defense she lied about her age so she could get the part. Lastly, the actress who played Alice was injured by the ice pick scene because the prop did not fully retract when pressed against her head.

[@Xehanort10]

8:18 It was. They killed a real snake for the film because it came out before they had to put "No animals were harmed in the making of this movie" disclaimers into films.

[@dominique2o06]

Kevin Bacon still has one of the best kills on screen thank you Tom Savini ...watching you guys reaction at the end was so much fun

[@nomak38416]

Yo, you guys REALLY need to watch The Thing (1982). As opposed to most horror movies where people make bad mistakes to push the plot, all of the characters are engineers and scientists that try to make smart choices while paranoia and sabotage works against them.

[@bradyzumbrum9485]

8:23 Well that's because it's a real snake.

[@WhiteRhinoPSO]

When I watched this as a kid, the moment when Jason lurches out of the water to drag the final girl out of the canoe was the scariest part of this entire movie. Come to think of it, I'm honestly kind of surprised my family even had this film since 98% of our VHS tape purchases back then were from my parents going to yard sales. Neither of them have ever been fans of horror movies, let alone slasher films.

[@samsquanch1996]

Hahaha, that final jump scare scares the hell out of everyone

[@mattstark7480]

I'm so glad Tom recognized that Halloween was superior. I have no real issue with Friday the 13tth (in fact I think the first two films are are pretty fun horror movies). But Halloween is just so much better, imo. Better score. Memorable characters. A more iconic final girl. Scarier villain. Can't wait to see what you guys put out next.

[@jesusramirezromo2037]

Halloween is much more than a slasher horror movie F13th is just a good slasher movie

[@ThreadBomb]

Neither film develops its characters much, but Halloween is just on a higher level of film making. Plus it has the legendary Donald Pleasance. I think what I enjoy most about F13 is its setting - all the natural locations give it a uniquely fresh feel.

[@Wolvorine]

Yep, the snake was in fact real and was in fact actually killed. Also, a lot of people think the sound effect is "Ch-ch-ch, Ha-ha-ha", but it's actually an edited sound clip of Betsy Palmer saying "Kill Her Mommy!" edited down to "Ki-ki-ki, Ma-ma-ma!" Hehe, people are usually fooled by what they think they know about Friday the 13th when they see the first one for the first time, we love to watch new fans' faces. :) Jason comes in with Part 2, but doesn't get the hockey mask until Part 3. Part 2 is my personal favorite of the franchise.

[@avaunamallett6176]

I agree. Part two is one of the better sequels in the entire franchise. I think Ginny is an iconic final girl.

[@BloodylocksBathory]

It's the reason I don't mind the murder in the opening scene of Scream. If she supposedly saw Friday the 13th however many times and still says Jason is the killer, then, well... I'm not saying she absolutely deserved to be knifed to death, buuut...

[@BloodylocksBathory]

@@avaunamallett6176 Ginny is great!

[@Lyraxhaze]

The final chapter is definitely best.. Hehe

[@everyonelovesmajima]

It's supposed to be more of an And Then There Were None-style mystery, which obviously doesn't work as well now that there are 13 films and Jason's as iconic as he is. There are a lot of red herrings you don't notice now, like Bill with the machete killing the snake, Steve's Jeep, Crazy Ralph in general. Steve says "hi" to the killer because it's someone he knows. Maybe I'm wrong but I feel like it would have been more effective if we'd met Mrs. Voorhees earlier, then you find out it was this sweet lady. She doesn't get enough credit for being the first (as far as I know) female slasher. (Fun fact, Betsy Palmer originally despised this film and only did it because she needed a new car, but still gave a legit creepy performance.)

[@williamayers2647]

About the Kevin Bacon kill, the blood pump broke, so Tom Savani's good friend Taso Stavrokis had to blow the blood to save the shot, and if u watch carefully, Kevin Bacon visibly reacts to the blood spurt effect.

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

Meanwhile, those of us who've seen the film are just waiting to see your reaction to the lake scene. The film wasn't intended to have sequels, but when it made so much money, it became almost inevitable, yet they'd killed off Mrs. Vorhees, so some crazy work-arounds had to be put in place to make Jason the new killer. I personally prefer Halloween, but this one's a classic, too. The character of Ralph was the direct inspiration for The Harbinger in Cabin in the Woods. The original Suspiria would be good for a future watch.

[@petergivenbless900]

I second Dario Argento's 'Suspiria' (great recommendation from Corn Pone Flicks!). I'd also reiterate Tobe Hooper's 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' (as well as his bonkers 'Lifeforce', and even his TV mini series ''Salem's Lot' is worth a view).

[@ohcrapitsxfox]

[@michaelpaventa2425]

I’m glad you enjoyed it. A quick tidbit, the movie was filmed in my home state of New Jersey. You should check out Black Christmas (1974). Many say that was the first slasher film predating Halloween.

[@peterampee-kleisius]

It appears "Jason" was the friends we made along the way.

[@dmb70]

When we saw this back in the day there was no "Jason" so when Mrs. Vorhees shows up we were all relieved, little did we know. Since this did so well Jason was then brought back as the focus to enable the sequels. SPOILER ALERT... We don't get the hockey mask until Friday The 13th Part 3. IMO parts 1, 2, 3 & 4 are all equally good & the best of the series, they get a bit dodgy after that. Halloween is more a psychological thriller in that it's a very slow burn with very little gore, whereas Friday The 13th was one of the earlier mainstream slasher films to focus on the gore & interesting kills.

[@mongomongo7664]

The Thing the greatest film of all time

[@Erin_A_13]

In my not in the least humble opinion 1992's Candyman is one of the best horror films out there. The 90s did have some gems - Arachnophobia, Cronos (Mexican independent film, might be hard to come by), Misery, Stir of Echoes, Ravenous, Se7en, and Silence of the Lambs, for example.

[@kenrohloff5265]

HALLOWEEN is my all-time favorite horror movie. I'm 54 now, and saw it for the first time in a packed movie theater when I was about 10. It terrified me! The audience reaction was amazing, screaming etc. FRIDAY THE 13TH is one of my all-time favorites, but below HALLOWEEN. I love FRIDAY THE 13TH, too, though. So eerie, all of them alone at this summer camp, with an unknown killer killing them all savagely

Texas chainsaw massacre 1974 is a must...really enjoyed this video guys

[@sinistersix3721]

Or even Tobe Hooper 2nd film Eaten Alive. It's seems like a sequel to Texas

[@BPDannelly]

Watching you two was the best. To see you react to all the kills and be surprised warmed my heart. I think you should watch THE BURNING.

[@raymondmoore5476]

*Intro* :We know he wears a hockey mask" Me: You know nothing little grasshoppers but you will learn". LOL Jason starts out in part 2. *The More You Know* haha

[@JesseSwaney]

True, but you don't see hockey mask Jason until part 3.

[@adorethered]

You guys should skip exorcist 2 and go straight to exorcist 3 it’s freakin fantastic!!!

[@hippychikforever]

THIS!!!!

[@broadsword6650]

Why do people want Reaction videos to skip films? Let them watch and react!

[@wildvncatzwomangal9348]

Exorcist III was great.

[@Dogslife_]

90s was a bit flat. But there's still some absolute classics in there: Exorcist 3 Candyman Misery Dusk til Dawn Cape Fear Silence of the Lambs New Nightmare

[@raydonahue1978]

Leprechaun Scream Wishmaster II: Evil Never Dies Ernest Scared Stupid Leprechaun 2 Scream 2 Leprechaun 3 It Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers Bram Stoker's Dracula Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

[@markcaldwell2831]

Jason himself didn't appear with the hockey mask until part 3. Part 6 Jason lives and 8 Jason takes Manhattan are my favourites.

[@darksithdemon75]

Love your reaction bro. This movie is definitely my childhood. I love the first four films which essentially the story. Imo u could flip flop between those films to which one is the best. Jason lives is good and new beginning is okay and has grown on me over the years but the score, tension ,kills and characters were better and Jason in 2 through 4 was terrifying and the scariest for me

[@lynnevetter]

I really like that Flamingo shirt too!! :O Those jump scares were brilliant. lolol

[@dmreddragon6]

No shade or anything, but what rock have you guys been under to have not seen these horror classics? One of the things I liked most about this movie was the killer. A middle aged woman driven mad by the death of her son. That was fresh, and unexpected.

[@nataliearreola6361]

Oh please make more content. I love you guys.

[@ianchristopher9422]

Betsy Palmer the actress who plays Jason's insane mother starred in a western from the 50s called Tin Star also starring Anthony Perkins. So Jason's mother and Norman Bates once met each other.

[@MassiveDestiny]

40 years after and that last jumscare are still one of the greatest jumpscares in cinema history😊

[@Robert-vj6fg]

Glad you got to experience one of the most iconic surprise endings ever

[@kellypedersen9896]

If you wanted to check out another summer camp slasher from this era (with an EXTREMELY unexpected ending), check out "Sleepaway Camp" from 1983. It's cheesier, but quite creative (almost art-house) in its handling of the subject matter; and again, the ending knocks EVERYONE off their guard.

[@brandonhendrix7223]

The reason the woman is protagonist 98% of the time is the view, like it or not, that women are more vulnerable and sympathetic so more likely to engage the audience. Whereas is a man is the protagonist, if he cowers in fear, running and screaming, he'll be perceived as a wimp and be derided or laughed at by the audience. (This only applies to slasher films. In most other horror subgenres--zombies, vampires, ghosts, etc-+ the protagonist can be male or female.)

[@Gamelover254]

A slight positive however is that this genre made some serious bad ass female heroines, which to be honest was pretty lacking at the time.

[@christopherwall2121]

Unless that male lead is a kid (see Tommy Jarvis)

[@Gamelover254]

Yeah Jason was never intended to be the killer. The sequel was originally going to be a different scenario set around Friday the 13th but it was decided to continue the plot line of Jason coming back for revenge for his mother’s death. I would say the movies take them self seriously until about part 4 or 5. Part 6 is when it becomes a full on parody. I personally only like the first 2 films. Funnily enough I find when Jason gets the hockey mask, that’s when the films go too goofy for me.

[@AmateurBarbarian]

I like the first four...2, 3 and 4 also happen on consecutive days in the movie storyline.

[@simplyjay0748]

Last good one was part 3 imo and jason with the bag over his head is my fav! Jason X and the zombie shit ruined it

[@djxbudda]

Great reaction video. I forgot how much fun Friday the 13th was.

[@2Snails1Shell]

They had fun watching it (and it scared the crud out of 'em), yet [they] overlooked the fact that this was their original intention. Oh, well. 🤔😋

[@rockyslide4495]

Check out 1982's The Thing. Also worth considering are The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Shining, The Fly, Child's Play, Psycho, Jaws, Alien, Psycho, Scream, The Silence of the Lambs, and Candyman.
