*FRIDAY THE 13th* actually SCARED me!

[@edwardosquidawardo]

Fun Fact. Betsy Palmer (Mrs Voorhees) only did the film, because she needed the money for a new car. That being said, she gives her all in this movie.

[@LiirThropp2687]

Not only that but she thought the script was garbage and no one would ever see the film. How wrong she was. Ironic that the role she didn't care much for ended up being her most well known.

[@danielc.6659]

Her acting was certainly aHEAD of its time! LOL

[@timothymorris157]

Frankly i always felt that all of the victims deserved to die out of sheer stupidity and a complete lack of intelligence on their parts. In a weird inexplicable way Betsy Palmer really carried the original Friday The 13th in my honest opinion. Just like the fact that John Travolta in one of his earliest roles back in the 1976 hit film Carrie based on the Stephen King novel. Jason’s mother’s name was only revealed and identified for the first time in Friday The 13th Part II on her tombstone as Pamela Vorhees circa 1981 my brother’s birth year which also marked the year for Halloween II and a long list of underrated horror films like My Bloody Valentine, Night School, Happy Birthday To Me, American Werewolf In London, and The Burning to name just a few amongst so many others that were also released that year.

A few things to remember - All of the tropes this movie used were INVENTED with this movie. Also, there was no Jason known to the world when it came out. So it was very unexpected that the killer turned out to be a distraught mother and not a killer. The hockey mask didn't come into play until the 3rd film.

Yes, the killer in Scream does reveal Mrs. Voorhees as the killer. Back in 1996, this wasn't much of a spoiler, more of a reminder. The Friday the 13th films were still fresh in moviegoers' minds, but Jason became the face of the franchise. People forgot his mother was the killer in the first one. Frankly, it never was much of a surprise. They briefly mention a "boy drowning in '57," but that's the only set up for the ending.

[@BlueAdept596]

Friday the 13th, Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street are classics. They were such cult classics that there were debates over which killer was more invincible than the other, which spawned at least one crossover movie where they actually fight each other. I would recommend actually watching at least the first 3 Friday the 13th movies so you can see the Jason everyone knows.

[@Fjoravaleris]

A little Fun Fact: The Splatter/Makeup Effects were done by Tom Savini. They were so convincing, this movie was basically banned for almost 3 decades in Germany. In fact: every single Movie with Makeup effects by Tom Savini was banned in Germany. lol. This Guy is a legend. He also done some acting gigs like Sex Machine in from Dusk till dawn, where he won a stare down with the makeup guy of that Film XD Also the famous sounds you recognised: I is basically a breathless version of Mrs Vorhees"Kill her".

Also, yup: Scream spoils that it’s the mom. That’s why Casey loses and Steve dies, supposedly. Pretty sure they wouldn’t play by the rules considering the last question “which door am I at” was a trap.

[@Shoofyou10]

I’m not sure you can really judge Alice too harsh for her actions in that last act. It’s easy to say that she should have done this or should have done that. She’s clearly in shock. I’m imagining that she was almost experiencing an out of body experience as it was was happening. It’s also easy to say that she shouldn’t have thought hitting her with a frying pan wouldn’t stop her but in real life cracking someone with a heavy frying pan over the head would usually kill someone. She doesn’t know she’s in a horror movie. Even in self defense i feel like you might not want to kill an old lady even if she was a crazy, murdering old lady. Killing a person is heavy.

The movie is a pure ripoff cash grab lol. It has great bits in it, adn the effects especially are fantastic, but overall it's a bit meh.

For these classic Slasher films i wouldn't normally recommend any sequels, but F13 is unique because knowing how famous Jason is now as a character in the genre, you may still want to watch at least pt 2, maybe 3, just to actually see what actually became the famous version of the character, now you've seen the reason why that trivia question in Scream works so well. He's practically not even in part one. The things you mentioned about Jason, like the hockey mask, didn't even become a thing until part 3 i think , as for the chainsaw, yes that is a Leatherface thing,Jason is more of a machete guy, but he has been known to use power tools as well among other things 😂.

The sound that is infamous with Friday the 13th, and heard through the series, Ki-ki-ki-ki, Ma-ma-ma-ma, is literally taking the phrase Jason said through his mom "kill her mommy" Ki-ll Mo-mmy, put into a sound maching. So it is Jason's thoughts.

[@kinokind293]

Postscript: When the producers of "Friday the 13th" decided at the last moment to emulate the shock ending of "Carrie", it never occurred to them that they were painting themselves into a corner. The murderer was dead. Her son had died years earlier. There was nothing supernatural about it - just a crazy person killing people and whatever that silliness with "Jason" (who died years earlier, triggering his mother's madness) and the boat was. So how to do a sequel? By assuming Jason didn't die? But then why was his mother nuts? And if he was 'alive' how was he lurking underwater, not breathing? Is he a ghost? How did he know she'd be in the boat? How did he get down there? And while we're at it, why was Crazy Ralph standing in a dark pantry waiting to scare someone? And why was Mrs. Voorhees laying on her back under a bunk before anyone came to make out on it? And how did she clean up the blood so fast? I assume an axe to the head or an arrow through the throat makes a considerable mess. And so on. But if it was on TV I'd probably stop to watch it. After all, it almost Halloween!

I know others have probably mentioned it, and the editor sort of mentioned it as well, and you found out as well, but Jason has actually never used a chainsaw, chainsaws are the main weapon of Leatherface, also known as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Jason's main weapon is a machete, but he has also occasionally used other objects that are around him for his killings as well, including floors, walls, and windows. It's up to you if you do want to watch the other Friday the 13th movies, I think you would enjoy them. Also yes, Ghostface in Scream does say that Mrs. Voorhees is the killer in the first Friday the 13th movie.

[@glennwelsh9784]

The movie was filmed about an hour away from where I live. The town segments were filmed in Blairstown and the camp parts were shot at a Boy Scout camp called Camp NoBeBoSco in Hardwick. The camp is still up and running, and they hold tours and overnight stays for fans of the movie on and around Friday the 13th. I took the tour back in 2020 when the pandemic put a cramp on Spooky Season activities and it was one of the few things I could find to do that hadn't been canceled. I was tempted to do the overnight stay this year, but they were charging nearly $1,000 and I just wasn't up the spending that much cash. Instead, I drove up to Blairstown today and went to the diner seen in the movie. As you might imagine, it was very busy, but I still managed to get a "Slasher Burger" and some fries. Then I went to a screening of the movie this evening. Of course, I had to sit near a guy who kept asking his pal where Jamie Lee Curtis was. 🤦‍♂️

[@SillyGeeseProductions69]

I think you would like this series of movies. They start out campy but slowly get more dark and serious but at the last few films go back to being campy. That being said they have a continuous story and timeline of the movies. Unlike Halloween which 4 soft reboots and 2 hard reboots.

[@ImOnlyChasingSafety959]

I think once you see more of these famous horror franchises you realise that the movies often vary in quality and things can change over time, the orginal movies of each are usually the most grounded and each sequel gets crazier in some way. Friday the 13th changes a LOT from this original movie. Also a lot people shit on how final girls act in third acts but its easy to do so as a viewer, in super stressful situations people behave completely different from how they think they will. Also, like the trope of the killer not being dead wasnt really a thing back then.

[@devildham]

[@MarcoMM1]

Great reaction Natalie like always, this film started my horror film fascination and love of the genre! i remember watching this as a young kid for my first taste of horror & it lit a fire inside me. classic as it is tacky it certainly hits some home runs for suspense. a cult classic in 80s horror! there are some fun facts about this movie, the original inspiration was halloween. in 1978, producer and director sean cunningham was looking for a model on which to build a commercially successful film, and he found one in john carpenter’s horror classic halloween. the two films ultimately don’t share much other than very broad slasher tropes, but cunningham says he “was very influenced by the structure of carpenter’s film.” Many of the special effects were “baked” in the camp’s kitchen. Tom savini is now a makeup effects legend thanks, in part, to his work on friday the 13th. and in making the film, he and assistant taso stavrakis actually ended up using the camp to finalize the special makeup effects. according to savini, many of the latex appliances ultimately used to create the film’s gruesome murders were baked in the pizza ovens at the camp where the movie was filmed. Selley winters was the first choice for mrs. voorhees. For the now-iconic role of Mrs. Pamela Voorhees, Cunningham and company went in search of an actress with a recognizable name whose career was nevertheless on the decline, so she could be paid relatively little and the budget could stay low. Cunningham eventually made a list of actresses he was considering, and two-time Oscar winner Shelley Winters was his top choice. In Victor Miller’s original script, the character of Jason was, basically, just a kid who accidentally drowned in Crystal Lake. But financier Philip Scuderi wanted something more, and brought in screenwriter Ron Kurz for some rewrites. One of Kurz’s most important contributions to the film was to transform the tragic boy into the deformed child we see in the final movie. And during filming, the crew was entertained by lou reed. Because the camp was closed during filming, and situated in the deep New Jersey woods, the cast and crew didn’t see much outside interference, but it turned out they had a very famous neighbor: rock star Lou Reed, who owned a farm nearby. Keep up the amazing work.

A few interesting things about this movie. The music only picks up when the killer or a dead body is around, when they show only the bottom half of the killer or show the killers hand it is a man in those shots, filmed at a real camp in New Jersey, and there is a Crystal Lake in Minnesota and someone but a life size statue of Jason at the bottom of it. Sorry for the long comment but I love these movies. 😁

[@TheJoeyKnoxville]

The Jason you know from pop culture with the hockey mask wasn't a thing until Part 3 where he stole the mask from one of his victims. Halloween opened the doors for slashers in the 80's but Friday the 13th blew the doors off the hinges. The first movie spawned 9 sequels, a crossover with Freddy from the Nightmare movies and a remake. plus there a talks of another movie or tv show. There have been countless of slasher movies that has been inspired by F13 too. This movie started the Campsite horror trope which is genius! no adults out there to help you! I know it's not the best of the best franchise when it comes to horror movies, but the F13 franchise is my favorite! It's one of those franchises where the first movie is not the best, but every movie are just so much fun and has their own classic and memorable moments! Definitely worth checking them all out! Also insane how low budget this and Halloween was. They earned millions and were only made for a couple of hundred thousand dollars. I actually don't know why everyone assume Jason uses a chainsaw? I've seen Jason depicted with one countless of times, but can't figure out where it comes from. The only time he uses something similar is in Part 7 but that's a weedwacker xD Fun fact: the "ki ki ki ma ma ma" is taken from when Mrs. Voorhees says "Kill her mommy" in Jason's voice, so it's kinda like in Jaws when the music starts playing when the sharks is nearby.

I mean, Friday is not the bad movies some people usually think they are, sure the movies have expendable characters and not the best acting, but Jason is such a simple and interesting slasher villain to watch.

Interestingly, Crystal Lake, New Jersey, is the size of a large pond and surrounded by houses, with a very limited amount of trees. All that screaming would have woken up everyone in the neighborhood and caused a crowd to form pretty quickly in the camp, even in the storm.

[@PiroMunkie]

I feel like the need of the breadcrumb from the beginning is a modern trope in storytelling. It's been done to death in both movies and TV (especially crime shows) to the point it gets parodied. A blind reveal like this is honestly refreshing.

[@AlexsTheWizard]

Friday the 13th was quickly made after the success of Halloween to try and get some and get some of its success that's why the original has some things pulled straight from the original Halloween like the POV killer shots.

[@Jediwizard1979]

You should definitely continue watching them. Especially for how the series tries (key word: tries) to be serious and then just goes off the rails and never stops. They’re hokey, but always fun to watch.

[@johnnymac42069]

She slaughtered them all and even killed Kevin Bacon lol 😂

[@adamclifton29]

23:45 - yeah keep in mind that Pamela managed to murder one of the counselors because they were trying to save what they thought was a little boy in danger. Kind of goes against Pamela's reasons

[@wave6553]

I could easily see her logic being "Oh but you didn't save MY son? Time to die." Regardless of the fact that none of these kids could've possibly done that because they weren't there when he drowned in the first place.

[@liamjmw]

I’m just about to go and watch this for the first time at the cinema! Very excited

[@seansteyer8851]

You went from cocky amusement to sheer terror in about half a second when Kevin Bacon was killed! That was awesome!!

[@noteasybeingweezy]

Kudos to Nat and her editor for getting both the Patreon and KZbin versions ready for the same day! Happy Natmare season!

[@shanewillis316]

It's always entertaining watching people react to the twist that it's Mrs. Voorhees is the killer in the first Friday the 13th.

[@ChrisReise]

10:35 Always loved how the cop's motorcycle was identified with those dollar store letter stickers.

[@terogates1]

Nat I’m so glad you didn’t get spoiled by scream, I wouldn’t have been able to forget that, I actually watched a different movie that told me about mrs vorhees so I already knew when I watched this film

[@artursandwich1974]

It's hard to believe but I first saw it in my advanced English class junior year in high school. 1989, Wroclaw, Poland. Thank you, Mr Pawlak, sir.

[@allanvanuga9196]

I appreciate you and thank you for making content.

[@KlonoaFan64]

Ha! What perfect timing! But yeah it's kinda interesting how Jason is NOT the killer in this film but his mother, isn't it?

[@bradbecker8212]

I love seeing everyone ‘s reaction to finding out Jason is technically not even in this movie…

[@sovereign23-1]

13:18 BEST REACTION EVER! 🤣

[@d4mdcykey]

_"Both of you should die, you're annoying"_ That was freakin' hilarious.

[@shelb.yyyy.]

ahh your reactions are so good!! love this sis 🫶

[@glcspoon5802]

5:22 This Is Just Like That Meme That Says “Guys Watch One Movie And 8 Years Old And Base Their Whole Personality Around That Movie” 😂😂😂

[@JackMellor498]

There really isn’t too much to be spoiled about this movie, or popularly spoilt anyway outside of several details because, even though it kicked off one of the most instantly recognisable franchises in movie history, much of what people know Friday the 13th for happens in the sequels that really made this series iconic.

[@backforblood3421]

This movie and people's presumptions remind me of a riddle from an All In The Family episode about a doctor.

[@BB13131313]

Your reaction to Kevin Bacon's death was hilarious lol..

[@ghostsurfer23]

I forget which one, but in one of the sequels, Jason uses a kitchen knife (signature weapon of Michael Myers) and a fish hook, signature weapon of the killer in I Know What You Did Last Summer. I distinctly remember a moment where a character hears a buzzing noise prior to Jason appearing, and I shot up from my couch saying something to the effect of "No way he's going to use a chainsaw now too, that's Leatherface!" But sadly it was just a buzz saw. SO YOU WERE ALMOST CORRECT, NATALIE xD

[@jordanwhite9578]

Movie suggestion ! Ready or not I think you would like it and it would be a awesome one for a reaction video. It's perfect Halloween movie

[@MarcVeiw39]

11:30-11:40 Reminds me of the line from Falcon and the Winter Soldier when Sam agrees with Zemo about Trouble Man by Marvin Gaye "He's outta line, but he's right!" 😂

[@pattycarljackson]

I love the video intro please keep it. today is the perfect time to start watching Friday the 13th. I hope you watch halloween series movies. I love old style movies especially horror movies I think that's why I love the newer halloween movies because there isn't anything any about them and they reference older ones with certain scenes.

[@Jordashian93]

Happy Friday the 13th Natalie!

[@thebruisedkind5345]

the actress that played Ms Voorhees was a big time Canadian soap opera actress and yeah, she said she had a blast playing the killer

[@TheDMsofDisability]

This film was made in my hometown (Blairstown, NJ) and every Friday the 13th, it is an absolute party here!

[@gracevrogerson]

I have *literally* just finished watching this for the first time! Honestly pleasantly surprised at the twist! I laughed at a lot of bits, and I shook my head at Alice turning down the car because of the body in it (I would've been outta there in that car, but I understand she's in shock), but I'm actually very chuffed that the main bit wasn't spoiled for me!

[@olternaut]

October 14th is my birthday. Thank you for this upload Nat!!! 😊
