Lawsuits have finally been settled, and now new projects involving Jason and Camp Crystal Lake are in full production. For our first official look at the redesigned Jason, we were given a 13-minute short titled "Sweet Revenge".
Does it work as a teaser for what's to come? Does it make you want to drink Angry Orchard? Listen in and find out!

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
With the slasher craze beginning to dwindle and producers wanting to pursue other projects as we approached the mid 80s, the decision was made to bring Friday the 13th to an end with Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.
Of course we know it wasn't actually the final chapter, but would it have been a good ending for Jason? Could Tommy have carried on the Mayhem? Would Jimmy's dance be more iconic if set to the original music? Gather around the campfire once again as we talk about it!

Tales From The Crypt | And All Through The House
Ho, ho, ho, kiddies!
Back in 1989, a little show called Tales From the Crypt aired on American televisions for the first time. The 2nd episode, despite airing in June, was a Christmas episode called "And All Through The House".
What better way to celebrate a merry macabre massacre than revisiting our old pal The Crypt Keeper?
Gather around the ghoul log and check it out!

Friday the 13th Part III in 3D
With the slasher craze of the 80s in full swing and Jason proving to be a viable villain at the box office, another sequel was put into production. This time the studio aimed to add an extra dimension to the series by bringing Jason back in 3D.
But did the extra expense result in extra returns? Would the 3D focus have an impact on the production? Does anyone wipe their ass in this series? Gather 'round the campfire once more as we discuss it!

Friday the 13th Part II
After the unexpected massive success of Friday the 13th, a sequel was fast-tracked to release just under a year later, with Jason donning a burlap sack and stepping into the role of the killer.
But did it work without the murder mystery aspect? Did the rushed production hurt the final product? Do the hotdogs on the grill have a deeper meaning? Gather 'round the campfire once again while we discuss it!

Friday the 13th (1980)
Back in 1980, a little film about an unknown killer at a "cursed" campground was released. It ended up spawning a franchise spanning 40+ years, 12 films, games, books, comics, and nearly $500 million at the box office.
The original film is often ranked among the best and most influential horror films of all time, but does it deserve its place in the horror hierarchy? Did the filmmakers cheat with the identity of the killer? Was Enos a pervert? Gather 'round the campfire and listen in to find out.
