It's great that Betsy Palmer appreciated the Pamela Voorhees role before she passed away. She was fantastic in the movie. Her photo as Pamela with Part 7 Jason is my favorite Mother's Day card.
A classic of classics. My friend recently did a marathon of the films, and I commend her cause it was her first time seeing the first film and she was unspoiled of the iconic twist all these years later.
My mother watched this movie on tv years ago. As you might expect, it's not her typical movie(she was very bored that night). But the ironic thing is, she had noticed the name Betsy Palmer in the tv listings..so when the movie was almost over, and she still hadn't seen Palmer, well, the mystery was pretty much spoiled for her!
@@johnrunion5357 Amen. I was going to comment, "Twist? I didn't notice one". Pamela just shows up and introduces herself. Is that actually a plot twist to some viewers? Wow. There's no mystery, no "iconic" twist. Unfortunately.
@@eduardo_corrochio i really wish friday the 13th 1980 had trimmed off a few moments of it's running time from the film as it is and used those very few moments of the film to actually INTRODUCE mrs. voorhees. 'hey, kids! meet mrs. voorhees. she will be in charge of the kitchen, the cooking and all of the supplies this summer!' then show her being actually protective and helpful to the kids in her charge; the way it should have been done for her son. then have a shot showing how proficient she is with a knife. just FIVE minutes TOPS. how hard would that have been? they make a film and set it up to be a who done it? and then the killer is someone we have never seen before in the movie!
10:43/ Gotta love that literary Easter egg on the dashboard. THE GODFATHER makes it's way into the horror genre! Being from The Bronx, I always appreciated the fact that Camp Crystal was located in New Jersey. You might notice the Tri-State area gets a shout-out in the second film with a camp counselor wearing a New York Yankees hat!❤
I love that you so lovingly recapped the thrill of sneaking into an R rated movie. I was too young for the original Friday but I def snuck into Jason X lol
0:42 I remember Fridays! I used to watch it late at night. Michael Richards aka Kramer was on it. I also remember Betsey Palmer doing Knots Landing in the late 80s as Joan Van Ark's aunt. So, she did do other projects after the film.
I just wanna say I appreciate this channel so much. There’s so much doom and gloom in the world these days that when I just wanna get away from all the super serious shit going on I can just chill and listen to these videos talking about our beloved horror movies. Thank you to everyone at Joblo.
9:29. Hey JoBlo? Who loves you, Baby? 13:07 that same year, his sister shot J.R. on Dallas, the most watched episode that year. 83 million viewers watched that year.
They all have their scary moments. But the first 4 have a connection, a mood and a style that elevates them above those that followed. The 3rd film is the best in the franchise for me. It’s got the best final girl in the series and the best Jason. Even though Chris is responsible for every death in the movie, she is so believable and resourceful in taking Jason down. And he was at his most menacing in this film too.
Again, I love this new series! Well done everyone at JoBlo! I love the Friday The 13th franchise as a whole (with the first 8 obviously being standouts), but dammit if the original one is my favorite of them all! There’s such a cloud of innocence to it that just resonates with me. Plus, being filmed not too far from where I grew up, it’s nice to see the New Jersey I know and love any time I watch it! Just imagine if Friday The 13th was just a one-off film…..we’d be talking about it today like we do My Bloody Valentine, The Burning, and The Prowler, wondering “what if” there was ever a sequel to it!
Loving this series so far!!! It's so awesome to have both this series & Josh Spiegel's the '80s horror project series, running concurrently!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

This show is great! keep up the good work. Even though I know most of this stuff, it’s nice to see a well produced show from fans of the genre and for us who didn’t get to see “in search of darkness “ doc’s
a nice concept of keeping us clueless as to who the killer is, great creepy music, and of course betsy palmer made it all a memorable and decent slasher movie, oh and dont forget young jason at the ending, details are vital so when u hear young jason come out the water with a manly growl thats details baby, gotta love it
I enjoyed this! One aside: everyone seems to skip over the underrated Amanda Wyss in A Nightmare on Elm Street, who was the next "fake out" final girl after Friday, a whole 12 years before Drew Barrymore took the baton.
My memories of horror movies came when i was about 7 or 8 when we got our first VCR as it cost $500 at the time, and then one day came home and it was gone!!!! come to find out my mom lent i to a friend. Then a week or two later, we got it back along with tapes and tapes of dubbed movies. Friday the 13th 1 and 2 were part of those. Body Double was another. It was so fun to watch them and then for like a couple weeks came home and there was a huge sattilte dish in the front yard that my dad was testing or borrowing. Then got to see others like Robocop and Poltergeist. My god those were the greatest times ever!!! todays youth has no idea what they are missing with their noses buried into their phones.
VCR/cable/satellite watching movies at home was very special in the beginning... Nowadays I can't hold my interest in Netflix for 10 min before I take my phone or switch movies again... The TV guide was important in the 80s and watching a film was like going to the theatre. I saw a lot of movies just because they were on TV that night.. ...and enjoyed the feeling of watching them in the dark on a small TV with bad antenna... Never got that feeling back and wouldn't have wanne missed it for the world... Great memories I have from Terence Hill & Bud Spencer movies Emannuel films. Hammer films in black in white in the middle of the night. Greatness
I'm from the UK originally and one thing you couldn't do was sneak into an R-rated (aka X-rated in the UK at the time) film as a kid. In those days, ushers checked your ticket on the way in and they stayed in the theater for the film. No way a 12-year old boy who looked like a 9 year old was getting into see Friday the 13th in 1980. :)
I sometimes imagine a Friday the 13 franchise with Pamela V as the killer ... just so fully charged with evil revenge and filled with icy anger at camp counselors. She was interesting in the short time she appeared in the first film; Jason, the big quiet lummox, bored me silly as the movies slogged on and on. LOL
I bow before thee on bended knee oh great Queen of the Slashers....sitting gloriously next to the KING of the slashers. Friday The 13th Part 2. You can choose who rules that monarchy but regardless, those 2 films hold the entire throne..lol
I HAVE ALL NINE FRIDAY THE 13 MOVIES ON DVD AND IT STILL SCARES THE SHIT OUTTA ME. CONGRATULATIONS JOBLO FOR HITTING IT OUTTA THE PARK WITH THIS VIDEO TOP NOTCH.
PEOPLE complained about the cop but knowing there's cops but that they can't save anyone is scarier than not having that story point imagine seeing a building on fire but the fire department is across town and won't be able to save people
That was a good summary of the time and the movie I saw it at the drive-in theater on opening night and even although everybody was in their own car you could hear screams coming from other cars and people with also blow the horns after a kill. Anyway as far as you saying nobody expected the middle-aged woman you're right about that but we've seen it before in movies like Strait jacket with Joan Crawford. And whatever happened to a aunt Alice with Geraldine page as the killer and Ruth Gordon as the final girl. Both movies you should review. I mistakenly mentioned Homicidal, that was the 1951 transexual killer slasher. one of the earliest thats never mentioned.
Funny thing: for as much as people talk about "The Rules" they're incredibly inconsistent. Alice smokes pot in the original film and survives, just like Laurie in Halloween...
Friday the 13th work’s really well the first watch when you know zero about the plot. Allot of the things that make part 1 hard to watch the 2nd+ plus time (mainly its meandering pace) works in its favor for its first viewing. Its not a fantastic movie but the ending is awesome, features many memorable kills and is much better than it gets credit for.
My very first drive in experience was Friday the 13th original and zombie from Lucio Fulci. Earlier in life I had my grandmother take me to alien 79 in the theater. I’m a horror fan forever now. Slightly off topic you should watch the movie nope. I held off but wow wow wow.
You gotta love how the trucker tells Annie a story about all the murders, then drops her off in the middle of nowhere instead of driving her to the camp! And.. in the early days of these movies , no one knew what a “final girl” was, so no one watching Annie thought she was a final girl. After she got killed, those of us watching the movie when it came out thought , “Who’s next?” No one saw Annie as the final girl. Not everything is the opening of “Scream”.
That first kill should have been an indicator that it wasn't some mutant Jason. She got in the car with the killer and didn't have a moment of fear until driving past the turn off. But then the back of the killer looks like a 6ft man in that scene. Bit cheeky
Probably the greatest pure slasher film ever made. I love Halloween, but the thing we usually think of when we refer to slasher movies....owes every bit as much to Friday the 13th as it does to Halloween...
I never even had to sneak into R movies because if my parents weren't taking me anyway the theaters didn't give AF (2 children for Bram Stokers Dracula? No problem). When they started policing R movies (it spread by chain) I had my own little WTF moment
Despite ripping off HALLOWEEN and CARRIE, the ending to FRIDAY THE 13TH with Jason attacking Alice in the canoe is the greatest ending of all time to any horror movie ever!!
@@travzimmerman1340 Please...Black Christmas is just about the most overrated movie ever. You don't rip something off when you do everything SUBSTANTIALLY BETTER.
Friday The 13th 1980 is unique in not being the best or one of the best films in its franchise. Halloween 1978, A Nightmare On Elm Street 1984, Scream 1, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974, Phantasm 1 etc. are among the best in their series. Friday 1 is... In the top six maybe? For me: 1. Jason Lives 2. Part 4 3. Part 2 4. The reboot 5. The New Blood 6. The original Yep.
GIve a thumbs up here if, like me, you were totally thrown off when they just suddenly introduced Pamela Voorhees 3/4 into this movie and revealed that she was the psycho/murderer of the story. Ridiculous. We didn't see this character at all in the movie before she shows up. They should have put her in the movie somewhere earlier as a minor character, working at the diner or something. It's nuts that the script just brings her in like some stranger off the street! Ugh. _That_ reason is why Friday the 13th is not a great slasher movie to me.
Well, "mother" here is mostly a fun pun aimed at Mrs. Voorhees--- being Jason's mother. The best slasher is the 1978 Halloween. Then for the runners-up we have the 1974 Black Christmas. Then the 1992 Candyman.
It's great that Betsy Palmer appreciated the Pamela Voorhees role before she passed away. She was fantastic in the movie. Her photo as Pamela with Part 7 Jason is my favorite Mother's Day card.
A classic of classics. My friend recently did a marathon of the films, and I commend her cause it was her first time seeing the first film and she was unspoiled of the iconic twist all these years later.

But the ironic thing is, she had noticed the name Betsy Palmer in the tv listings..so when the movie was almost over, and she still hadn't seen Palmer, well, the mystery was pretty much spoiled for her!
there is no twist. they just introduce a character we have never seen before.
@@johnrunion5357 Amen. I was going to comment, "Twist? I didn't notice one". Pamela just shows up and introduces herself. Is that actually a plot twist to some viewers? Wow. There's no mystery, no "iconic" twist. Unfortunately.

@@johnrunion5357 You make some very cogent and valid points. But honestly, showing her prowess with a knife (or any weapon) would be giving it away.

Friday the 13th does have that magic dust sprinkled on it that makes it last the test of time like the actress Adrienne King said..
I'm sure it did 😆
The 1980s were the best times of making movies even horror. Friday the 13th is such a appreciating franchise to date.

No offense to everyone else on here, but beside John and Lance, Tyler is absolutely the best one on this channel
The world thanks you Betsy for needing a new car!!!! If you didnt need one, this movie would not be the same.

Always preferred part 2…. Though a love the original….. there’s a ton on unnecessary padding of people just walking….or doing stuff…..
My favorites are 2 and 4 in a tie…. Then part 6, the original….. then the rest…. Which I often revisit….
It was good not Halloween level, i would love to narrate a video for you guys, i have a voice for this stuff
