Friday the 13th (1980) vs. Friday the 13th (2009)

[@Dparish24]

On DVD featurette, Betsy Palmer said she needed a car after her last one broke down and being in Friday the 13th would've afforded her a new one. She went on to say that she thought no one would remember the film after it's release, of course that wasn't the case and she became an icon.

[@HauntedHippie]

Ahhh okay thanks for the info!

[@naypomjack6459]

I thought Betsy Palmer did a great job as being the main antagonist. Heck, I would even dare say she was scarier then Jason. That's not easy to do.......😄

[@molasorrosalom4846]

Betsy Palmer may have needed a new car, but later on she actually embraced her character, when she started going to horror conventions, and she was shocked at how long her line was with fans. She would ask them what exactly was it about her character that fans liked, and it was something along the lines of how she's a mother who's willing to kill for her child.

I have never seen anyone get as wacky at a con as Betsy Palmer! That lady was delightfully nuts🤣❤️🙏🏼

@@stephenvelez9710 I wish I would have met her, I only started going to these things around 2019. Hopefully I get to meet Ted White from Friday the 13th part 4. I know Kane Hodder is everyone's favorite, bit something about Ted White's Jason frightens me.

[@stephenvelez9710]

@@molasorrosalom4846 OMFG, she was on a panel with Adrienne King, Tom Savini, Sean Cunningham, and some other folks, and Betsy was cursing and telling stories, and just cracking everybody up🤣. What a treasure❤️. And I love Ted White!

Trent didn't care about whether or not saying those things to a woman are proper or not.

[@erickleefeld4883]

Practical effects are so much better than modern CGI.

[@StephonDodd]

I personally love both films in different ways, The original is scary because of the mystery behind who's killing the characters and the ending where Jason came out of the lake to attack Alice scared the shit out of me the very first time I watched this. The reboot scared me because of the sheer brutality of Jason and how you I can kind of sympathize with him because if you saw your mother get decapitated in front of you like that it would probably mentally fuck up your mind and cause you to have a lot of hatred. Also because I have a disability myself and my mom is protective of me at times so I kinda connect with Jason over any other slasher villian.

[@thoughtfuldoomguy]

Your delivery is so smooth and natural. I know you have aspirations far beyond KZbin, but you are really exceptional at this.

[@isaintrovert]

Trent’s death is the best due to it being the most brutal and it’s done to a most hated character. Imo, it’s the most memorable and appreciated because of those elements lol.

[@Tomas_714]

26:29 I believe the line after that was “you have perfect nipple placement babe” hahaha

[@jwnj9716]

Tough one. I can't decide. I like the idea of Pyscho in reverse and it's a crazy old lady hiding in the woods. The great thing about the remake, you can view it as a sequel. It just introduces Jason to newcomers by sticking 1 to 3 and then we can get back to Jason killing teenagers.

[@Sabowie]

Hey HH! Thanks for the video! Not entirely sure why it was a reboot; it could have just as easily been just another sequel imo

100% yes to a Pet Sematary comparison! I had NO clue it was so cold on the original Friday the 13th shoot I really couldn’t tell at all. Also love Betsy Palmer’s backstory for Pamela, I kind of wish that was incorporated more in the film because it’s so interesting! Agree that Alice is a pretty weak final girl too. You’ve killed it yet again girl 🔥

Aw thank you! A child’s play comparison is coming soon!

[@finishin.my.coffee8780]

My sister and her friends were all nearly ten years older than I am and I'd hear them talking about this scary Friday The 13th movie. So I HAD to see it. As a kid, it creeped me out. They picked the perfect place to film it, NoBeBoSco. That place had/has a vibe about it. Then I watched the Scream Greats vhs with Tom Savini being interviewed. I got to meet him years later when I was 14 and I was so starstruck that I had no idea what to say to him. But he put one arm around me and one arm around my sister and we took a picture together. That's one of my best memories. I like how Betsy Palmer referred to him as Tommy Savini, like he was one of the neighborhood kids who played with her kid. I hated the remake.

[@DesiSJ]

You know, when I went into the theater and saw 2009's Friday, I left very Meh about it. However, over the years its become one of my favorites of the franchise and as a whole, I feel its a pretty solid movie. I actually prefer it, and most, over the original as far as rewatchability. I get bored with the original. I respect it. I'm grateful for it, but the truth is, no one is here anymore for Ms. Voorhees. We come for Jason and 2009 gave us a great Jason. It was such a refresher from the sleepy Jason we got in Freddy vs Jason. I thought the kills were good. The shock that came when our would be final girl died got an audible gasp from the audience. The opening sequence is intense. Jason is brutal. Its just an all around fun time. Trent's dialogue in the reboot during the s3x scene...its so cringe. It was at that point I really wanted his demise to be painful, lol

[@kahrahnoel814]

Awesome intro, Kylie! Between the two versions of Friday the 13th, I obviously like the 1980 original movie more because it's the film that started it all. It also blew my mind when I discovered on the Dead Meat KZbin channel that the killer in the OG Friday the 13th was Jason's mother, Pamela Voorhees and not Jason Voorhees himself until the Part 2 and so on. I thought that Alice Hardy was an AWESOME final girl who defended herself against Pamela, who got decapitated by Alice. It freaking sucks that Jason killed Alice at the beginning of Part 2. The final girl in the 2009 reboot was not too shabby and the story as a whole was okay.

[@Dparish24]

I only like the original F13 and Part 2. I think the original had the best atmosphere out of all the films and Mrs Voorhies is awesome. I like Part 2, it was a worthy continuation, I like sack-head Jason and Ginny who was by far the best main protagonist. The rest I just don't care for.

[@HauntedHippie]

Ginny is the best!

[@armando7060]

Omg, your intro! One of your best. Dead! 🤣💀

[@HauntedHippie]

Thank you 🥺❤️

[@relativeparadox9567]

Nobody mentions how the douche homeowner's(I don't remember any of the names off hand) friends don't actually like him and are just using the invite to the house to have a party. The black dude and the Asian guy play him in the scene at the gas station and the other guy completely disrespects him by using his boat. He is an ass with them almost as bad as he is with the protagonist. I think this movie had plenty of subtext for a F13 film.

[@molasorrosalom4846]

I actually loved the remake, the music, the suspense, the way Jason was depicted. It's a shame they never made a sequel to it, because it wasn't a flop by any means. True, the majority of the characters were lame, but it's a "Friday the 13th," movie.

[@GrimReader]

Cunningham gave not bad advice but even now breaking into smaller features is incredibly difficult. If you’re on the creative side of the industry such as script doctor, scriptwriting, direction you’re gonna need a hook up or incredible luck

In the scene where the counselors are swimming, the lake is surrounded by lush green trees. I doubt this scene could have been filmed during the “cold season”, unless you mean like April/May before the lake really warmed up from summer. 🧐

In original Jason was in fact dead the film is a portrayal of a scorned mother driven mad by grief and isolation

Great video kylie! Have to go with the original for nostalgia purposes. And also I love Adrienne King. She's actually an artist in real life and even has her own winery named after friday the 13th called crystal lake wines. She's a sweetheart. But the original to me also has the most likeable characters, best atmosphere and best musical score. Awesome vid!

[@HauntedHippie]

Oh that’s awesome! I didn’t know that!

[@valentinlaboy6932]

I'm pretty sure Trent's dialogue in that sex scene was intentionally comedic. If you remember the Crystal Lake documentary discussing the films, Travis Van Winkle didn't want to say "Your tits are stupendous", but the production told him to do so because it would get a laugh, so he did it.

[@amitypredator9385]

Hi, just to be clear, Jason was definitely supposed to be dead in the original movie, but when they saw that the movie had been a success and decided to make a sequel, it was decided that Jason hadn't drowned, which doesn't invalidate Mrs. Voorhees' actions, because from her point of view, Jason was in fact dead.

[@mdpeterson27]

Funny thing is the lawsuit gives the writer of The first movie the rights. But unfortunately Jason Voorhees the way we know him. Is NOT a part of the ownership. So they can make a movie with the mom but not include Hockey Mask Jason.

[@BuckBeakGaming]

Making Jason like a trap making survivalist type is one of the best choices in horror movie remakes.

[@GNo03]

The Friday the 13th series makes no sense but if you try to MAKE IT make sense, it’s actually pretty cool… Mrs Voorhees kills because she associates the camp, teenagers, and sex, with the death of Jason even though these teenagers had nothing to do with his death. (“look what you did to him”). Jason does the same thing, he basically sees teens and sex as “bad” or “sinful” and maybe he sees kids as good, which is why he doesn’t try to straight up kill Tommy in Part 4. Maybe in his messed up mind, he’s trying to protect Tommy from the “evil teenagers” because he thinks it’s right

[@davidranderson1]

If people identify with Betsy Palmer's portrayal of Pamela Voorhees, I think it's for the same reason people get into revenge fantasy movies like Tarantino's movies. The slights you or your someone you love experience every day are ramped up and so is the retribution. You get the catharsis of watching those people being punished in some brutal way.

[@kenbonez]

Thank you. Yes, I loved the remake. When it first came out everyone hated it, but I don't think they watched it with a fresh mindset. They went in thinking, "Remakes bad. Only original. " I have noticed a big uptick of love for it recently though. Jason isnt just this big dumb brute in the newer one. He's calculated and he's pissed ppl are bothering him in his territory and it makes him scarier. Plus, I really like derek Mears

[@DrDetfink]

Despite the flaws, the 1980 original still owned the 2009 remake. The reason why was simple: Kids are believable ordinary teenagers. There’s something naive and likable in their casting and performances. In the 2009 version everyone is a winner of the genetic lottery as annoying cliche frat boys & girls. Their death didn’t feel like loss but release from their acting. Jared Padalecki and his salon quality hair from Supernatural had plot armor Jason had no hope of cutting through. Also the time periods were different. The 80s had a lot of freaky child disappearances murders so Hollywood was doing their own Grimm Fairy Tales Spin: Go camping and have sex, this might happen! While 2000s slasher horror genre kind of died with the invention of the mobile phone.

[@cheapcinemachannel4548]

Pet Sematary comparison would be cool. As for Friday...I think the low budget look of the original adds to the creepiness. 2009 looks too glossy. What the hell am I watching here?

Miguelbrymn, you know what is funny? That the writer and director admit it's a rip off of Halloween, but many who LOVE Friday the 13th say it isn't a rip off at all.

[@billyaltvater1880]

I honestly do not get how Friday the 13th rips off Halloween. They are two very different movies. Other then a Killer stalking and murdering teenagers I personally dont very many similarities between the two. two very different Killers, one has a motive and the other is just a boogey man who is a mysterious killer.

[@HauntedHippie]

I recommend checking out any interview with victor miller! He talks more about how he borrowed pretty much the entire structure of Halloween to shape the story of F13

[@SPBASS]

Kylie is right, they saw Halloween and its success and thought we can make one of those and maybe make some money. Can't really fault them for their honesty there, lol. Halloween itself wasn't the first slasher. However the team behind Friday the 13th weren't useless film makers and put a new spin on it, in your face gore thanks to Tom Savini. A good example of how one person can change the vibe of a movie entirely. What if scenario, imagine if Savini had worked with Carpenter on Halloween... Jason doesn't even really turn up until part 2, and his character is very different to Michael. Nightmare on Elm Street highlights this, also a "rip off" of Halloween but you very rarely hear anyone say Freddy is a copy of Michael... Also Halloween isn't as original as some may think as you can trace slashers themselves back to Psycho, where you were misdirected into believing it was Norma Bates doing the slashing, seem familiar?

[@CayucosProductions]

I’m a big fan of the reboot to be honest. The Bree and Trent scene tho 😭😭 Original is slow paced and boring, but ofc it’s a classic and we love it.

[@robertalessandrini8773]

It would have been nice to see a follow up of Friday the 13th 2009 , it was pretty good actually . Friday 1980 was good but definitely boring at times . I give the edge to the Original because it started a great horror franchise and the storyline was was good ..

[@armando7060]

My pick is the original over the remake. The original is my 4th fave and the remake is 6th. The main reasons are the atmosphere is superior in it and we have an actual final girl, who I actually like. But with each rewatch I enjoy the remake more and more.

The Girl Burning In The Sleeping Bag Kill Was Also One Of My Personal Favorites. It's So Crucial & I Felt Her Pain Through The Screen Everytime I Watch That Death.

I honestly have a hard time picking one over the other.. if I had to pick one to watch tonight I'd pick the reboot although it's basically just me picking the lesser of two evils.. I really like the Friday the 13th franchise as whole but neither films would be in my top 5 Friday films.. I respect the original and really like the vibe, but it can be pretty boring and the acting isn't great.. I don't really get too excited when it's on TV.. I saw the reboot in theaters and thought it was okay.. there's actually a lot that I do like about it despite it ultimately being your typical modern slasher.. the characters and formula are pretty cliche.. the one thing that I absolutely hate about the film is how the final act is filmed.. the lighting is extremely dark with the shaky cam going on, it's very annoying to watch and lowkey ruins the film for me.. it's similar to the reason that I hate the final act in Rob Zombie's Halloween as well.. but there are some cool scenes as well and Jason looks pretty badass... you should compare the Pet Sematary films..

[@Terry-bear]
