Friday Week: I don't wanna scare anyone, but I'm gonna give it to you straight about Jason


FRIDAY THE 13th PART 2

1981
Directed by Steve Miner
Written by Ron Kurz

Spoilers: high

Housekeeping note: obviously, the "week" part has always been a joke, but of course it's really not anyone's best practice to start a themed series and then fail to even get a second part out (or anything out) before seven days have elapsed.  In my defense, I've been busy, with 71 straight days of work (that's LXXI, for the Roman numeral-challenged crafters of today's subject's in-film title card), and then a big push against a deadline here at the end.  So I genuinely didn't have the time.  Now I have nothing but.  Life!
