His Name Was Jason: 30 Years Of Friday The 13th Page #2

---

during the whole entire movie

just people screaming,

it was like this cathartic

experience for everybody.

lt's a thrill ride.

l remember that we're supposed

to think Corey Feldman's

gonna pick up the torch

and be the next Jason.

''Part 5'' was truly

a departure

because they went

in a totally different direction.

They decide they're gonna set it

in a halfway house

for weird f***ed-up kids.

And there's this dude

and he's killing the kids off

and he's using Jason's mask.

We don't see Jason in that movie,

except for hallucinations,

flashbacks-- that's it.

When the film opened

it was opening, l think,

in 2,000 theaters

across the country.

ln 1984, that was a lot.

Frank Mancuso called me

late that night--

so excited,

saying these numbers

are like the golden times.

This is unheard of.

Shavar Ross:

When the supposed Jason fell,

l love the part where

he just goes right through those spikes.

Because you can just see the dummy

just going right on the spike.

Another piece of advice,

don't allow the overweight

mentally-handicapped son

of the local ambulance driver

to get hacked to sh*t over a candy bar.

Because chances are

that driver's gonna turn

into a Jason clone

and try to take people out.

Adam Green:
They brought him back

again in ''Vl,'' and he killed Horshack

at the beginning,

which was awesome.

And he was kind of like

Frankenstein because a lightning bolt

that came out of nowhere

brought him back to life,

and there was maggots on his face,

which was really cool.

l think it was extremely violent.

l mean, you look at it and you go,

''Wow, there's tongue-in-cheek

in this. There's rock music in this.''

But Jason, in fact,

in this movie, bends people in half,

twists their heads off,

does a triple beheading.

l really didn't want it to be

just about you have sex and die,

'cause that had been done. lt's sort

of like you're in the wrong place

at the wrong time kind of thing,

and also try to have the characters

have a sense of humor.

When Nancy's killed

and the American Express card floats

out of her hand, inevitably

there was always some clown

that would go,

''Don't leave home without it!''

Kevin Spirtas:

ln ''Part Vll,'' the girl whose got these

extraordinary telekinetic powers

resurrects him by throwing

her anger and her energy

into the lake

where he's already been killed

from a previous movie.

She musters all of her

telekinetic ability to raise him

and thus begins the story.

That's what really made it different.

She had the psychic abilities

which he had not fought before,

but realistically,

the psychic stuff would have had

to have been in there anyway,
