Featurette Friday: 13 Old! 13 New!

friday the 13th

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.

Featurette Friday: Happy, Happy Halloween from Silver Shamrock

Some of you may not have seen HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH.   Some of you may have heard that, being the red-headed step-child of the HALLOWEEN franchise, the film simply isn’t worth checking out.   If anyone told you that, they are dead wrong.   Granted, it’s not as terrifying or as memorable as the original film, or even some of the sequels, but it certainly is better than your average horror flick.

One of the reasons for this can be found just below.   Just in time for October 31st, we give you the clip that will rattle around in your brain for days and months to come.

Enjoy, and, from all of us at We Are Movie Geeks, we wish you a fun and safe Halloween.
