The FRIDAY THE 13th Television Series Is Coming To The CW

Friday The 13th sucks and Jason is a poor man's Michael Myers.

The only way to get people reinterested in Jason is completely change his origin. Get rid of the stupid camp stuff. No one goes to camps & camps are dated. So 80s.

Involve a school shooting or something in his origin. May he's the kid everyone picked on who has the victim of a school shooting. Even being a victim, nobody misses him or remembers him. Now his spirit haunts the school or something.

People aren't afraid of the boogeyman anymore.

This. Is. Awesome! Weekly episodes of FT13!?

Wayyy better than waiting years for sequel after sequel

LMFAO. This is gonna be shittier than the remake.

Jason should have appeared in Netflix's Wet Hot American Summer series.

Visually both are silent but deadly boogeymen with one using a large knife and the other using a machete.

There is little to no difference.

That's why I've always preferred Freddy. He's not a boogeyman. He can get you anywhere you are as long as you are are asleep. That is just haunting wouldn't you agree? Add the fact he's a child murderer and in that reboot a child molester which I did like him being a molester because that was Craven's original direction with Freddy. Freddy's such a lovable bastard.

I've often felt when it comes to horror nowadays, to scare folks you gotta go in an extreme direction whether it's the story of the film or how the film is shot. Nobody's afraid of the boogeyman. You also see little tries at horror villains involving school shooters or even cop killers but going in that direction would disturb and frighten people because they would think they are trying to make it feel real. And when people are afraid of something that feels too real, then you know you are in a good direction.

Unless that direction is something none horror related but an example while not feeling real is Batman Returns's Penguin. People and parents were outraged over Tim's take for being too scary and disturbing for a Batman film. That right there is when you know you got a great villain and direction. When parents don't want their kids to see it because it looks scary. It's an extreme direction and adding to it, Penguin's plan was to kidnap the children of Gotham's wealthiest and drown them in the sewers.
