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

Romantic Revenge Thriller ‘Love Lies Bleeding’ Starring Kristen Stewart Is Now Available at Home!
After earning rave reviews on the festival scene before landing in theaters last month, Love Lies Bleeding, a revenge thriller from Saint Maud director Rose Glass, has released at home on VOD this week.
Love Lies Bleeding is now available for digital purchase ($24.99) and rental ($19.99)! We’ve also learned that the film is coming to Blu-ray on June 6, 2024.
Katy O’Brian stars alongside Kristen Stewart (Underwater) in the upcoming film from A24, which is said to be “a romance fueled by ego, desire and the American Dream.”
I wrote in my Sundance review, “With a visionary at the helm and an impressive cast willing to follow along with every wild turn thrown at them, Love Lies Bleeding makes for a captivating ‘80s set crime thriller unafraid to get deeply weird and ultra-violent.” Expect things to get weird and violent: “That it devolves into madness, complete with humor and surreal imagery, means that it’s the precise type of gonzo cinema that’ll likely prove divisive. But Glass makes it so easy to fall on this movie’s wavelength, and the unpredictability of it keeps you deeply invested and often breathless from the suspense.”
In the film, “Reclusive gym manager Lou falls hard for Jackie, an ambitious bodybuilder headed through town to Las Vegas in pursuit of her dream. But their love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou’s criminal family.”
Kristen Stewart, Katy O’Brian (“The Walking Dead”), Dave Franco (“The After Party”), Ed Harris (“Westworld”), Anna Baryshnikov (“Dickinson”) and Jena Malone (“Goliath”) star.
Acclaimed director and double BAFTA nominee Rose Glass teams with A24 and Film4 for the new film. Glass directed from a script she co-wrote with Weronika Tofilska.
A24 produced alongside Andrea Cornwell for Lobo Films and Oliver Kassman for Escape Plan Productions. A24 will handle the global release of the film.
If you missed out on Love Lies Bleeding in theaters, add it to your watchlists this weekend. If you need additional ideas on what to watch, here’s more on this week’s new releases.
