2026-01-07 20:49:56 +0000 UTCNo spoilers here, but speaking in generalities, none of the great horror franchises were planned out beforehand. These movies were churned out fairly quickly as studios and producers wanted to capitalize on the slasher trend before it burned out. In just a little more than 9 years Paramount released 8 FRIDAY THE 13TH movies. Also, a lot of what pop culture considers "essential" parts of a series don't show up right away. Continuity is not really these movies' strong suit.

She is a respected Broadway actress and is probably most well know for being a panelist for the show I've got a Secret. She famously did this movie if they just bought her a car lol. The hockey mask doesn't show up until the 3rd movie.

2025-09-15 03:57:16 +0000 UTCThe movie itself only says Jason is ‘different,’ which can imply a lot of things and did not leave me to assume any additional lore. Some kids are just outcast regardless of physical or mental ability and not all disabilities are visual. On screen, he’s shown as a bloated, waterlogged corpse in quick flashes, so that’s what I reacted to; a decaying, reanimated body I assumed was deformed from water decay. I wasn’t aware of the deeper lore here. I’m brand new to this franchise, and as a first-time viewer it is not obvious from this film that a disability or a congenital deformity is specifically being implying rather than just a haunting horror creature. To label that as ableist because of “ignorance” is honestly very strange and disappointing in this context. And if that truly is his lore then paradoxically, by that argument, wouldn’t the franchise itself be ableist then? It’s the films that tie Jason’s ‘difference’ to being monstrous, and if the lore is that the “difference” is because he’s disabled then it’s really the franchise itself that’s equating disability with horror. Which understandably is a bit outrageous.

2025-09-14 17:19:36 +0000 UTCYou know their love of horror movie rules makes me think they'd also really like the Scream franchise.

2025-09-14 16:17:21 +0000 UTCChances are they're gonna post scary movies one week and not scary movies the next week so they needed to start before October to fit everything in.

2025-09-14 14:37:52 +0000 UTCNice! A classic. If they're keeping this scary movie theme, I hope they eventually watch "Barbarian" and "Weapons".
