In the final scenes of the films, the killer (played by Betsey Palmer) has hacked to death everyone at the camp to avenge the drowning of her mentally disabled son Jason, except for Alice who is the lone survivor, who battles the killer on the beach.
But when Alice finally grabs the machete, she is able to vanquish her assailant once and her for all.
The killer gets her head chopped off. The Queen of the Slashers gets a death worthy of a queen.
At this point an exhausted Alice collapses into the canoe and drifts into the lake under the guiding light of the full moon.
As night turns to morning on the placid lake, we are greeted by the most beautiful music I have ever heard in a horror film. Something about film cameras in 1979 made the gorgeous green, orange and pink colours of the changing fall leaves and their reflection on the lake just pop. As the police approach on the shore, we know Alice is going to be all right, and…
BAM!
Just when we least expect it, the corpse of Jason (the killer’s son who drowned decades earlier) pops out of the very lake he drowned in to drag Alice to her death.
Cut to Alice screaming in a hospital bed. Apparently it was all a dream. Or was it? The police found her floating in the lake, put didn’t find the boy she claimed pulled her in, with Alice strangely saying “then he’s still there.”
Still there meaning his corpse is still at the bottom of the lake where he drowned decades earlier, or still there, meaning a zombie is still on the loose? It’s all left so beautifully ambiguous as we cut once again to a shot of the beautiful lake and its majestic Fall colours. Cue beautiful music.
Apparently, the idea of the final jump scare came from a producer who had just seen Carrie (1976) which had ended with a similar dream jump scare, where the heroine visits Carrie’s grave, only to have Carrie’s arm reach out from beneath the ground:
But when Friday the 13th quickly became one of the most successful horror films of all time with lineups around the block, the film’s producers began demanding a sequel that continued the story.
Continued what story? The killer was beheaded and Jason returning from the dead was just a dream. But the producer’s wanted Jason to come back so part 2 opens with Jason stalking Alice at her own home a couple months later, and what makes this so creepy is he’s suddenly a grown man.
So while Alice being pulled into the lake by the zombie of an 11-year-old drowned boy was just a dream, it foreshadowed an even creepier reality: Jason never drowned at all but survived in the woods all those years and was now a grown-ass man wanting revenge for the beheading of his mother. I think that’s absolutely brilliant, but the creators of the original film thought it was the dumbest idea they ever heard and had little to do with the sequels.
Nonetheless when they saw all the money the franchise would gross with 10 sequels, and a remake, a brief TV show and video games, novels and comics, original screen writer Victor Miller, who was only paid perhaps 5 figures in 1979, sued to gain rights to the series. The judge gave him ownership of Jason as a child, but not the hulking hockey masked homicidal maniac he’d become as an adult.
this is why there are two cases to be made for and against civil rights by libertarians./
1. civil rights are bad because they restrict the liberty of those who would discriminate.
2. civil rights are good because they increase the liberty of more people than they restrict.
but “libertarians” can’t grok that coercion can increase liberty.
and “liberals” can’t grok that punishing people for discrimination is something the punished don’t like.
Brown v Board of ed was basically the precursor to a bunch of other pro-black rulings that had no basis in the constitution. Affirmative action should be outlawed. And blacks should be sent back to Africa.
alex jones is a CONFIRMED mossad agent fucktard.
this was echoed by david mamet (a jew) on jre but peepee deleted it.
peepee doesn’t fear jews in general.
just the jews who control mossad.
sad.
indoor soccer.
Supreme court should knock down gay marriage just so I can see all of corporate america’s heads explode.
peepee is like that cuban from west virginia personality…
bitching about how nazis hate them…
when every(smart)one knows…
something was up with those indo-europeans…
they were special.
and yes!
their most ancient record is the vedas.
so weird peepee puts chinapeople on a pedestal.
when she knows…
the truth.
I dont know. The earliest veda, the rig veda (or atleast the earliest parts of it) doesnt/dont seem to written by indo-europeans. There is no mention of horses, it describes an urban-life rather than a rural one and was centered around worshipping a river called sarasvati, which dried up before indo-europeans came to india.
The later versions however may have been written by the indo-europeans or the by the population that resulted as a merger between indo-europeans and IVC people.
Each veda was composed over a span of hundreds of years, so it is entirely possible various parts of rigveda were written by various groups.
supposedly…
sadly…
mugabe’s hypothesis:
if women were virgins before marriage AND married at 30???
the point is that:
1. pregnancy becomes superhard after 30 for most women.
2. later marriage is another explanation for the below replacement TFRs of so many countries.
that is, if a woman says, “i’ve found the guy” OR “i’ve got my own” at age 30…
even if she fucked her brains out, she might only have 2 chirren.
sad.
I dont know about the west but in the east, south etc there are already too many people. Sure there will be enough food, water, space, clothes etc for hundreds of billions but there wont be enough proper jobs.
Even in the west there are a lot of jobs which are not providing sufficient for people. They are living paycheck to paycheck.
btw,
if trump had won WI, AZ, GA…
that would’ve been an electoral TIE.
269 vs 269
BUT!
then “per constitution” he would’ve won.
He would have needed 6 states to swing his way and he lost the popular vote badly.
wrong. he only needed three.
you’re too stupid to comment here.
then it would be decided in the house by state delegation, not by individual vote, and thus he would’ve won.
also the hang mike pence stuff followed from a legal theory floated by democrats during bush v gore. it wasn’t an invention of trump’s team. it has to do with the ambiguity of the constitution on the vp’s role in certifying the election. SCOTUS would not have interceded. a FUBAR presidential election has happened before pill in hayes vs tilden.
idiot!
“Tradition means giving a vote to most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead.” Chesterton goes on to say: “Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about. All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth; tradition objects to their being disqualified by the accident of death. Democracy tells us not to neglect a good man’s opinion, even if he is our groom; tradition asks us not to neglect a good man’s opinion, even if he is our father.”
she says “to the effect of”.
i say “btw”.
let’s get some (neal) cassady up in here!
in On the Road ginsberg said he enjoyed cassady’s yuge cock.
i don’t feel safe here.
good bye peepee (aka “shlomo”) and various personalities.
my only comfort is yuge black penises.
only they can possibly defeat mossad.
sad.
this appears to say that with AZ, WI, and GA trump would’ve won outright, 272 to 266.
