Also, the infamous "ch ch ch ha ha ha" is actually "ki ki ki ma ma ma" -- the sound designer on the film took the initial sounds of Betsy Palmer saying "Kill" and "mommy" and played them through an echo device.  So when you hear "ki ki ki ma ma ma" it's Mama Voorhees' hearing little Jason's voice compelling her to kill.

Kind of interesting, I thought.

Gotta start things off with Friday the 13th 1980.  Very well written and directed and I love the twists of the early 80s slashers.  Love the fact that if you were watching it for the first time when it was released, you had no idea who the killer was until the end of the movie.  Really wish I could rewatch the entire series starting from the original with a completely erased memory.  You wouldn't even know anything about a hockey mask until the third film.

Second favorite is Final Chapter - A very young Corey Feldman from the same exact year he did Gremlins.  Crispin Glover at a time where him and his agent were not easy to please.  I like this movie because in my opinion it is the  most 80s/fun of the bunch, while still staying scary.

Friday the 13th 2 -  This basically got me real into the series about 5 years ago.  One of the original party slashers, or at the very least one of the best.

Friday the 13th 3 - Never loved this one too much but it is still the 4th best in the series for obvious reasons.

Friday the 13th 6 Jason Lives - Good campy stuff here but haven't seen it in quite sometime.  Really enjoyed it.

Friday the 13th 7 New Blood - Decent stuff.  If I remember correctly this is the one with the famous Sleeping Bag kill.  I need to rewatch..

Friday the 13 V - Actually didn't mind this one too much until you realize that Jason isn't even the killer. 

Jason Takes Manhatten - Not huge on this one but could watch for the introduction song any day of the week.

7 is indeed the one with the sleeping bag kill.

How would you rank the other four movies in there (Jason Goes To Hell, Jason X, FVJ and the reboot)?

I tend to go back and forth on 4 or 6 as my ultimate favorite.

Part 2 - After the success of the original, this sequel was inevitable, and like most cash ins on a respectable product it feels lacklustre and rushed. Gone is the dark and grainy texture and it's a case of 'hello fluid camerawork and well lit settings and goodbye to the grue and abandonment of the first. Jason casts rather a pathetic figure and the burlap bag with one eyehole doesn't exactly make for a terrifying countenance. Overall it's rather dull - 5/10

Part 3... IN 3D!!! - This time around Jason dons his (now trademark) overalls and hockey mask and... yep, you guessed it, goes around offing teenagers like there's no tomorrow. It may have been visually impressive in its original 3D format but the flat release has many highly annoying scenes that are lost in 2D, like the ten minute long yoyo scene (!). To sum it up Jason pokes lots of pointy things at the camera and the first half is mostly just a showcase for the 3D effects.  Despite this I preferred this over part 2 and the Scooby Do style opening which sees a vanload of machete fodder, including a fat practical joker and 2 VERY unlikely hippies on their merry ol' way to camp had me rooting for their grisly demise. A guilty pleasure of mine. 6.5/10

Part 4 - My second favourite of the sequels, Tom Savini's back on board in this instalment and boy, is it a welcome return. There's some surprisingly good acting on show here and the final girl makes a fine job of looking genuinely scared in all the right places. Savini's fx are top notch, although the gore isn't as plentiful as the first film. Corey Fieldman (the eighties answer to Macauley Culkin ), is quite obviously based on Savini himself and he saves the day by shaving his head and pretending to be mini Jason?!!! Yep, it's fucking bonkers. Also it features the most just-asking-to-get-horribly-killed question in the history of slasher films as one character wanders around in the dark and asks ... "where's the corkscrew"???!!!!!!!!!! Here's a hint - he didn't much like the answer! Lots of fun to be had with part 4 - 8/10

Pat 5 - Nah, fuck it.

Part 6 - My second fave in the series, after the first. This time around Jason is resurrected by a bolt of lightning and becomes super mega astro zombie Jason! Be afraid cos as soon as he rises out of the grave he punches a hole right through some poor sods chest! The acting and humour are fine here, there's a killer soundtrack and Jennifer Cooke looks damn sexy as the sheriff's slutty daughter. It's still a Friday the 13th film so most of the runtime is taken up with introducing irritating characters so they can be killed off a few moments later. The camp councillors are an irksome bunch so it's a pleasure watching them get violently dispatched. This one has its tongue firmly set in its cheek and not only is it the best Friday sequel - it's also one of the best mid to late eighties slashers in general. Loved this one - 8.5/10

Part 7 - Jason Vs. Carrie might sound like fun but it's really not. Notable only for Kane Hodder's first outing as Jason and, possibly the best death scene in the entire series, the fantastic sleeping bag kill. Special effects man John Carl Beuchler also directs this one and goes about it with all the subtlety his initials suggest! Badum - TISH!
Overall - meh - 5/10

Part 8 - Jason Takes Toronto in this laughable EIGTH instalment! The title is a con since only the last 15 minutes or so take place in Toron, oops, I mean Manhattan and it looks nothing like Manhattan either. There's a very silly rooftop decapitation scene before a finale in which Jason is soaked in toxic waste in a sewer and somehow reverts back to being a child again. It's as daft as a brush. 4/10

Jason Goes To Hell - Shit, just plain old shit.  2/10

Jason X - I freaking love this silly, goofy homage to the series, if part 6 gave us 'SuperJason' then here we have space age super-mega-cyber-astronomic-robot-whopping-bionic-Jason!!!!!!!!! This time around, Jason's off into space after being thawed out of his crogenic slumber by, why no other than David Cronenberg himself in one of the most bizarre cameos in slasher film history! The rest of the cast are comprised of macho soldier types and wailing teens - they all end up dead and are fine in their roles. The final girl is excellent in her part and it's just a respectful, funny, exciting and enjoyable ninety minutes or so. Just turn your brain off and have fun. Highly recommended. 8/10.

Friday the 13th (2009) Fuck off Michael Bay. 1/10.

Right, I'm off to get drunk now after writing all that. Thanks for reading.
Laters!

I like 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7.

Manhattan is ok...kinda.

Freddy VS Jason is pretty cool.

X was a fairly entertaining horrible movie.

Despise A New Beginning.  Jason Goes to Hell is atrocious.  I hate these two equally.  They are horrible.

I have to show support for the remake which I LOVED!  One of my favorite remakes.  It had everything I wanted from a Friday movie.  Yep...I dare to write that!
