A24 has the opportunity to use the original poster’s tagline with their logo for A24 Hour Nightmare of Terror
That would be some franchise synergy for sure!
Is this where they got the name??
Yes, as filmmakers it’s our current duty to tie nostalgia to everything current because the trough must runith over for the sheeple.
@@joelorozcowe are talking about a franchise here going back to ‘80.
I really hope A24 doesn’t do anything with this Franchise. Last thing I need to see is a depressing Friday the 13th film.
Great video!
Thanks!
One of the most iconic horror movie posters of all time.
Indeed it is, Crazy Ralph!
I have that laserdisc! I hang it on the wall every Halloween. 🎃🤓
This is actually an RCA SelectaVision disc, sometimes known as CED. A little older than LaserDisc, way worse picture quality and sound.
@@Paper_and_Light Wow! Hahahaha. Had no idea. Cool. I found mine in an abandoned house during a canoe trip. It was the only thing left in the house. Sitting in a closet upstairs! I love it. Carried it the entire trip home. Hahahaha.
@@christophernunn77 That’s a great keepsake!
great job with this, really entertaining.
Thanks a lot for watching!
I messed how beautiful the movie posters are work was. VHS covers too back in the day. Nowadays 😂 it can’t even compare most of the times. They look cool sometimes 🤷🏾♀️
They were great back in the day, for sure!
Awesome insightful video review, My Dude. Didn’t help that I binge watched your channel when I should be sleeping but… I couldn’t help it. Your videos are amazing. Subscribe 150%. Can’t wait for your next video, Boss.
Thanks very much, and welcome aboard! Next episode will be out the first week of October 👍 lots to film until then
@@Paper_and_Light: Can’t wait, Chief. Til then. Hurry up, October and get here already.
You would think Jason would have received some therapy by now.
He just needs a friend to go swimming with.
I saw that the Spanish poster is Martes 13. Which in English is Tuesday The 13 cause that the unlucky day in Spain and Latin America
Yeah, interesting how they have a different ‘unlucky’ day. To be honest, I would say I’ve had way more mishaps on a Tuesday than a Friday.
@@Paper_and_Light lol good video
The fact they copied the murders from blood beach a European horror movie for the second movie look it up
Yeah, I think it’s ‘Bay of Blood’, a Bava movie, correct?
That’s it couldn’t remember it’s been so long
You really didn’t show anything “hidden”. The only person who wouldn’t see what is obvious is Stevie Wonder😂
I felt like I covered some details that weren’t immediately obvious. I’m curious what title you would give the video?
It was more fun back in the day when you had to sneak into the theater to see an R-rated film. Ah, nostalgia. 😎
Did you ever get caught?
I really really enjoyed this video about the poster. I learned a lot ,very cool. Thanks for maki g this .
You’re welcome! Always fun talkin’ posters.
Great video! I like the Part 2 version with just the silhouette and typography.
It’s not my favorite, but certainly better than just the plain text.
No comment about the 13 notches in the axe’s handle in the international version?
Yeah, good catch, I hadn’t noticed it! I don’t own that particular poster, I’d only looked at it online
Trump is going to make Friday the 13TH Great Again!
I think there’s been _enough_ legal battles over Friday the 13th lately.
They just needed take the girl and Jason and the canoe out of the picture of part 2’s poster then replaced it with some counselors in the water.
Yeah, that might’ve worked!
Really cool!
Also, notice the axe handle in the Warner Brothers release poster has 13 notches in it.
Yep, good catch!
Way way back when watching the movie for the first time, after all 6 counselors had been introduced but before any had been killed, I remember deducing that there were only 5 counselors in the poster. It appeared that Ned was missing from the group depicted and I thought that was a subtle clue that HE was the killer! But then he ended up being the first of the 6 to be knocked off. 🤷♂
