Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985)

Joey gets axed to death by an overly aggressive wood chopper with anger issues, Someone gets a lit flair shoved in their mouth, an idiot redneck crybaby gets his head chopped off while throwing a temper tantrum on a dirt bike, and someone gets speared through a shithouse wall in this sleazefest Scooby Doo movie where 21 people die.

Glad to see this has so many more fans now because there’s a ton of 80’s horror movie and numerous horror franchise entries that are way worse than this. I too wanted Jason in this as a kid but after watching what feels like thousands of slasher films I don’t think the “this sux cuz no Jason” take has aged well… I have a feeling people will start complaining about this movie’s (and Season of the Witch) 2010’s reappraisal amongst some genre fans but personally I could care less about all that… this is fun and I like what I like.
