Celebrating US Mother's Day, the 42nd anniversary of the original Friday the 13th film, the 40th anniversary of Jason Voorhees in 3D and a final swing of the machete with an actual Friday the 13th date in this months calendar - it's a bloody scream fest!
This month the planets have aligned (Jason went to space after all) and brought us a whole pool (or shall we say lake) of reasons to revisit America's favourite slasher series - the campy and gory Friday the 13th. Fans around the globe are using the occasion to revisit Camp Crystal Lake and their favourite mother-son massacre, masterfully portrayed by Betsy Palmer and Kane Hodder (and a few others, Jason has many faces).
The original blockbuster was created by Sean S. Cunningham and generated over 11 spin-off films, a TV series, several video games, books and board games. There certainly is enough content out there to drown in, even with court cases still running over ownership of the franchise and future opportunities for our silent masked machete-swinging maniac.
So while we're waiting on Jason to re-emerge from the depths (and he will), why not have some fun going back to the beginning. Just make sure you hold on to your head - and other than that - happy screams and restless dreams!
