Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: Friday The 13th Franchise Die-light Reel

Since we've already paid respects to one of the mightiest Gods of Slasherdom, A Nightmare On Elm Street's Freddy Krueger, Remy and I thought it fit to run down the Die-light reel for another heavyweight slasher champion - Jason Voorhees. Actually, let me rephrase that - The Voorhees family. While most of the kills Remy and I selected for our Friday The 13th Die-light reel do included the hockey mask wearing villain, Mama Voorhees does sneak a kill in of her own. Sure, Jason may not be as creative as Freddy, essentially keeping to sharp objects that can be found around a camp setting, but the deaths he causes are still bloody brutal.

A kill so cool and iconic, Jason X even did satire of it. Granted, part seven SUCKED, but the kill when he smashes that sleeping bag cocoon into a tree over and over to kill the girl within is, and always will be, one of the best slasher kills in all of Hollywood. It had everything that made Friday the 13th movies good. It had humor, gore, and that moment that makes you wince for a second, grateful it is not your ass in that sleeping bag. That, my friends, is a win.

Nato: You Got Screwed (Jason X)

OK, Jason X may be the epitome of cliched horror sequel writing, sending Jason into f#cking space, but you have to admit, the kills are pretty damn spot on. I know Remy already touched upon the frozen face smash, but one of my favorite kills comes in the form of Condor’s slow helicopter-like rotation down some giant screw.

I mean, we know Condor is screwed from the get-go, even with all his acrobatic martial arts, so his death comes as no surprise. What does tickle my fancy though is transforming the simple act of throwing Condor off a platform and having him go splat into throwing him off a platform and having him be impaled on some giant, industrial screw. Spinning around like a little propeller, Jason watches, almost seeming like he’s admiring his creative work. It’s silly, but it takes a death scene from recycled to uniquely fun.

(In the above video, Condor’s death hits at about 1:06)
