Celebrating the Best ‘Friday the 13th’ Film With Ginny and ‘Part 2’ [Horror Queers Podcast]

Published

Friday the 13th marathon

The Mandela Effect.

After dedicating an entire month to Erotic Thrillers like Bound and Stranger by the Lake, October has been blissfully fun and silly. Last week, we celebrated our 250th (!!!) episode last week with Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow. This week we paid homage to Jason Voorhees with a look at one of (if not, THE best) Friday the 13th title: Part 2!

In the sequel to Sean S. Cunningham‘s game changer, poor Alice (Adrienne King) is brutally killed off immediately. After a five-year-jump, a new group of horny counsellors prepare to open Camp Blood. These red shirts include iconic Final Girl Ginny (Amy Steel), her sad sack boyfriend Paul (John Furey), as well as hot and fit Terry (Kirsten Baker) and pervy Scott (Russell Todd). And then there’s poor sweet Vickie (Lauren-Marie Taylor) and disabled Mark (Tom McBride).

What these new twenty-somethings don’t realize that Jason Voorhees (Steve Dash and Warrington Gillette) is all grown up and lurking in the woods. And he’s still angry about how Mama Pamela (Betsy Palmer) met her end in Part 1!

Episode 251: Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) feat. Mike Muncer

A Friday the 13th in October? This requires celebrating! Accompanied by Mike Muncer of The Evolution of Horror podcast, we return to Camp Blood to chat Bag Head Jason and the scariest Friday film: Part 2!

We’re talking Alice’s ice pick murder, gay actor Tom McBride, skinny dipping, shit panties, a bombastic Manfredini score, Miner’s excellent direction, and Ginny’s epic last act chase sequence.
