Kevin Bacon Remembers Jack Burrell's Iconic 'Friday the 13th' Death | SiriusXM

[@Nightflyer720]

Kevin’s death scene in Friday the 13th is iconic - so memorable even 43 years later. And as huge of a star as he’s become, I love that he’s never acted like he’s “above” talking about this film. I think most of his fans love that he was in it. Great guy. So down to earth and humble.

[@kenlau457]

Let’s not revise history. He never bring it up himself. He talks about it only when someone else does.

[@Nightflyer720]

@@kenlau457 No one is revising anything. Friday the 13th is not something anyone would even EXPECT him to bring up much. The movie was a lifetime ago, at the dawn of his career, and his role in it was hardly the high point of his résumé. When he IS asked about it, he speaks kindly of it. That's enough.

[@TheCosmicFireStar]

Huh I wouldn't have thought Kevin Bacon would have acknowledged he was in slasher b-movies, genuinely when actors make it big in Hollywood they tend to be ashamed of having been in these types of films. Its nice to see he's so chill about it.

[@drlight6677]

For decades he refused to discuss Friday the 13th.

[@horrorfanandy4647]

Nah he’s been pretty quiet about it, but hey, at least he’s starting to talk now. I can understand the thought process behind not wanting to discuss such films, but at the same time, embrace your roles and what comes with them… unless you’re Harrison Ford that is.

[@doctorfeinstone6524]

Betsy Palmer was the same way. But she later embraced it

[@patr70]

Friday the 13th was an A List Slasher movie.. everybody saw it. B List are movies that most people don't see.

The so-called "b" movies are sometimes Better than the very expensive, boring Mainstream Hollywood "A" movies.

[@mylifefornick]

Thanks for asking this, this is so overlooked and i love hearing him discuss it.

[@Alucard24601]

I think this is the first time I've heard Tom Savini referred to as "a special effects guy" lol

[@terrycraig6386]

But that's what he is though.lol, as well as actor and director( Night of the living Dead remake ).

[@gabtv8464]

My favorite moment in the movie where he was introduced with the most weirdest music in a friday film

[@suat365]

Very great actor and still good looking wow

[@truthof7382]

Love to hear these stories of shooting movies.

[@TheNyteScrybe]

I was 17 and lived in a two-story house with NO LIGHT at the bottom of the stairs...you had to turn on the light at the TOP,. After seeing Friday 13th, I was FREAKED OUT by the scene with Kevin Bacon (although he was an unknown at that time). My boyfriend (now husband) took me home and no one was home, so I broke the cardinal sin of my boyfriend being in the house with parents gone and made him go up and turn on the light for me. I was so creeped out I didn't sleep until someone came home and even then, I couldn't sleep on my back for WEEKS after that. Kevin Bacon, you gave me psychological trauma for a long time!

[@vapalaca]

Kevin is a cool cat

[@mikewarner5583]

The fact that Kevin doesn't know or remember Tom Savini really speaks wonders

[@jasondousett3620]

It wasn’t Savini that had to blow into the tube; it was his assistant that had to improvise after the hose came off the pump (Savini was also involved in the scene though). That’s why Bacon doesn’t remember the name of the person who operated the tube after the failure.

[@giancarlofelicianocastaned9316]

Kevin Bacon has always been awesome in horror, I really wish he would portray Freddy Krueger if the opportunity ever came to him to do so.

no way Robert England will always be Freddy Krueger

I wish he would freakin do conventions finally. Everyone needs him on F13 memorabilia

[@lukeschroter9389]

@@rockybalboa4593 true but an order for there to be a convention there has to be a new Friday the 13th movie. And god that would be a blockbuster since Jason is getting more and more popular

[@rockybalboa4593]

@@lukeschroter9389 I don’t think a new movie is necessary because there is a con going on by me this weekend and there are some F13 stars present. One from the original, one from part 5, and the directors of part 6 and Jason goes to hell. But I do think it would draw more to attend so I agree with that. I’m hype for the new scream movie coming in January too

[@alucard624]

Glad Kevin is willing to actually talk about his role in the movie since for years he refused to talk about it.

[@Nightflyer720]

Interesting, I never knew him to be ashamed of Friday the 13th. I just don’t think he was asked much about it in the past. Now that it’s so many years later and the film is considered a classic, I think he gets a lot more questions about it.

[@sweetkiss119]

He has never refused to talk about it. I’ve watched old interviews with Kevin and he’s always been proud of his role in Friday the 13th. You really need to do your research better. Stop spreading lies about things you clearly do t know.

[@yacovmitchenko1490]

Kevin Bacon is a fine actor - generally underrated. Among the actors of his generation, he became the only star. (At the time Betsy Palmer was the only star.) I suspect that as a serious actor he was slightly ashamed of being associated with the movie. That's probably why he never joined the reunions.

[@kenlau457]

To be fair he would probably hogged all the attention if he went. It would become the Kevin Bacon convention. It would be all about him.

Would be kind of cool to see him at one of the Friday the 13th reunion panels. And dont give me that hes to big of a star shit. Jamie lee curtis has done it with no problem at a Halloween one

Jamie doesn't do anything unless she's getting paid. Keep that in mind, fella.

[@user-pc3xb4hd8i]

JLC has back end deals with Halloween she gets paid a ton of box office money on the newer films and she basically is that franchise. Kevin doesn’t get a dime for Friday the 13th and most likely doesn’t need or want the few thousand bucks to travel around doing panels.

[@chandaramony2939]

I know him in Tremors 😆

[@travzimmerman1340]

His best scene is Tremors is the very beginning when it took him a dozen attempts to hit that fence nail with a hammer. They were supposed to be Mr-Fix-It guys. You know that was like take 50.

[@faizfuad8361]

It was Tom Savini
