Featurette Friday: 13 Old! 13 New!

In the almost 30 years since FRIDAY THE 13TH shook up the world of the slasher film, two things have remained the same.   1) you can never go wrong with a machete.   2) the numbers 1 through 13 always follow the same pattern.   This is proven while watching the trailers for both the original FRIDAY THE 13TH and the 2009 remake.

For those of you wondering, Jason Voorhees took out around 170 souls spread across, oddly enough, 13 movies.   That’s not even counting the thousands or even possibly millions of lives lost on the space station he indirectly caused to blow up.   Not a bad final count when you consider the first film only had nine deaths, even though the trailer below would have you believe otherwise.

Check out both trailers for the original and the new film right here and have a safe, SAFE, Friday the 13th.
