NOTE: This post is backdated, and was posted several months ago in response to a request from a Tumblr reader.
This blog is a few weeks old,
so it’s exciting to have people start to take interest in it. I hope to
get more of these, I will do as many as I can while still maintaining

“I’d like to read your opinion on the Friday the 13th franchise. Which one is your favorite? Least favorite?”
This is one I wasn’t

franchise is one of the three holy grails of slasher films. There are
three names that come to people’s minds when they think of slasher
films, or even horror films in general, and they are Michael Myers,
Freddy Krueger and, of course, Jason Voorhees (more commonly known,
simply as Jason). Out of the three, Jason is probably my least favorite
but that does not mean that I do not find worth in the franchise as a
whole. Here are my thoughts:
