Despite it not being related to the movie franchise, I watched the series regularly as a child and loved the show\u2019s fantasy\/gothic tone.<\/p>\n<p>12. The first \u201cFriday the 13<sup>th<\/sup>\u201d I\u2019ve ever seen was \u201cThe Final Chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>11. The \u201cFriday the 13<sup>th<\/sup>\u201d we were forbidden from seeing was \u201cJason Lives.\u201d I never found out why.<\/p>\n<p>10. I had the \u201cFriday the 13<sup>th<\/sup>\u201d NES video game as a child and played it often. Not surprisingly I never got far, and Jason always massacred me.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/alicecooper-jason.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20673\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/alicecooper-jason.jpg\" alt=\"alicecooper-jason\" width=\"500\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/alicecooper-jason.jpg 568w, https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/alicecooper-jason-300x122.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/alicecooper-jason-538x219.jpg 538w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a>9. Despite being the most comedic of the series, \u201cJason Lives\u201d has the most haunting score, and best theme song. Alice Cooper, bitch.<\/p>\n<p>8. I didn\u2019t get to see the original \u201cFriday the 13<sup>th<\/sup>\u201d well into my pre-teens. And I\u2019m still not the biggest fan.<\/p>\n<p>7. The costume I wore most frequently for Halloween as a child was Jason Voorhees, with a grand total of three times. All times I donned a plastic machete and spray painted blood spatters. There\u2019s never not a good time to be Jason.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Joe-Bob-Friday-13th.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20674\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Joe-Bob-Friday-13th.jpg\" alt=\"Joe Bob Friday 13th\" width=\"340\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Joe-Bob-Friday-13th.jpg 340w, https:\/\/www.cinema-crazed.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Joe-Bob-Friday-13th-300x233.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px\" \/><\/a>6. The best way to see the \u201cFriday the 13<sup>th<\/sup>\u201d movie series is with Joe Bob Briggs and Monstervision. If you were a viewer back in the nineties, it was quite the entertaining experience.<\/p>\n<p>5. So far, \u201cFreddy vs. Jason\u201d is the only \u201cFriday the 13<sup>th<\/sup>\u201d film I\u2019ve ever actually seen in theaters, as I was too young to go see \u201cJason Takes Manhattan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>4. \u201cJason Lives\u201d is my favorite \u201cFriday the 13<sup>th<\/sup>\u2019 film, and one I consider to be the best.<\/p>\n<p>3. To date the most deserving Jason victim was Kia from \u201cFreddy vs. Jason.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>2. If you think Jason being an anti-hero in \u201cFreddy vs. Jason\u201d was out of character, he does return in \u201cFreddy vs. Jason vs. Ash\u201d to mutilate Monica Keena\u2019s character Lori. Jason killed a dog, I don\u2019t know why Keena was shocked that he kills Lori.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/09yOZsZuxMY?rel=0\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>1.
