You see, Jason was my son, and today is his birthday… “

The Original FRIDAY THE 13th (1980) screens midnights this weekend (September 13th and 14th) at The Tivoli Theater (6350 Delmar) as part of their ‘Reel Late at The Tivoli’ Midnight Series.A Facebook invite for the screening can be found HERE

For generations to come the original FRIDAY THE 13th will remain a classic, beloved goldmine of slasher tropes! Who would have thought a movie about a bunch of kids going to a camp where two people died years later would be so full of sex and violence? The critics hated this movie but it was a box-office sensation and anyone who loves slasher films adores it. It’s such easy fodder to tear into but it’s also entertaining despite all the flaws. Bad acting? Check. Bad camera work? Check. Spending four fifths of the movie thinking the camera man is the killer? Check.

FRIDAY THE 13th got some outstanding gore and,moves along fast enough to keep you interested and, despite tons of filler, is so much fun to watch because it’s so easy to sit with friends and riff it. It’s a pretty great horror film and party movie so don’t miss your chance to see it on the big screen this weekend at The Tivoli
