Thursday Thirteen #55

Thirteen Friday The 13th Films

Since the kiddo is now on the verge of being 13 years old she has started to develop a real love of horror films. I enjoy them too, and I like sharing tv, and movie watching with her as I do believe families should spend this type of activity time together when possible. I recently started watching some of the old campy classics from the 80's with her, which inspired this list, in particular the Friday the 13th (franchise) films....yes, they did make this many!

Original movie poster

1. Friday the 13th (1980)
2. Part 2
3. Part 3
4. The Final Chapter
5. A New Beginning
6. Jason Lives
7. The New Blood
8. Jason Takes Manhattan
9. Jason Goes to Hell
10. Jason X
11. Freddy vs. Jason
12. Friday the 13th (2009)
13. Is anyone actually wondering if the remake will spark a sequel?

I admit that I lost interest in this series when I heard Jason was going to outer-space 88| However, I do look forward to seeing what they do with the remake. Happy TT, and thanks so much for stopping by.

Cheers!

I've never seen any of them. Watching teenagers being murdered has never appealed to me. But they have been a real cash cow for some lucky film producers!

I'm a fan of horror! Friday the 13th is definitely one of the classics. Sequels tend to bore me, although in this series there are some good ones.
My TT is about Luxembourg.

I must admit I prefer reading horror. So often there is an important tale within them, which is often lost in screening.

I can't watch all those movies. I always thought it was too many experiences with the truly frightening things in the world - but you've had those too -how do you do it?

We had a neighbor named Jason who lived up to his namesake's rep. Scary little dude! It's great you watch TV with your daughter. Somewhere along the way down time got a bad name....

I love horror movies too. I just can't seem to handle the slasher films lately. I had no idea there were so many Friday the 13th movies. I also lost interest after the first 4. Great TT and thanks for the sweet comments on my TT.

I've only seen some because I was more a Nightmare on elm Street fan myself. If Rob zombie is doing the remake it should be awesome, he did an outstanding job with remaking Halloween. Loved the TT, and my kids love the campier 80s horror too.
My TT is up, a review of Mamma Mia.

Outer space???? what????

I don't watch horror flicks anymore, can't stand them now, but I liked them when I was a teen. I used to watch them with my step-mom.

I watched some of these when they originally came out, not sure I'd be willing to sit through them again. Happy TT

How interesting to relive these ‘films’ with your daughter. Actually, I’ve never seen any of them, but I don’t watch many movies and never really have. I had no idea there were so many.
Hugs and blessings,
