[Quiz] Can You Name the ‘Friday the 13th’ Films Based Only On Pictures of Crystal Lake?

Published

on

This may be the hardest Friday the 13th quiz ever.

The central location in the Friday the 13th franchise is of course Camp Crystal Lake, which Jason Voorhees uses as his own personal hunting ground. Nearly all of the films prominently feature the lake itself, in particular, but do you think you’d be able to name which film is which based only an image of the lake that was featured in it? Of course, the movies were all filmed in different places even when they were supposed to be taking place in the same location, so the look of Crystal Lake changes from film to film. And picking them out, well, it damn sure isn’t easy.

Courtesy of Twitter user @CameraViscera comes a Friday the 13th quiz that’s designed to see how closely you’ve been paying attention to those lakes over the years. And he admits that his own quiz is so difficult that even he had a hard time acing it after he was done creating it!

He told me:

It’s so ridiculously hard – I tried taking it after I made it (the order is randomized) and I almost failed it.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
