Bots, Bugs, And Babes – Episode #84: Friday the 13th (1980) – “You’re doomed! You’re all doomed!”

“Come, dear. It’ll be easier for you than it was for Jason.”

On this episode of Bots, Bugs, And Babes, my father (Al Jaconetti) and I celebrate the dog days of summer by going back 40 years to where it all started: Camp Crystal Lake, as we cover Friday the 13th (1980). We will cover all the different aspects of this film, from production to special effects and even the lasting power this little movie had on the world, even to this day. Join us, as we discuss how what started as a mere print ad in the newspaper, has now helped spawn a multi-billion dollar business. So grab you machete, jump into the canoe, and be ready for anything to POP up. But remember, he was not a good swimmer and they should have been watching him.
