Jason isn’t even in it til the end!

Yep this one had oodles of atmosphere. The setting is perfect and the second half during the thunderstorm is horror gold! The sequels never matched this. Though Part 4 came close.

I'd absolutely love to visit the camp some day.

reply

I want to visit the camp some day too. That would be cool!

reply

gosh can you imagine actually being there like a camp counselor from this film and sleeping like a counselor from this film? that would be paradise, you could live this film! that would be the best thing ever. it would be creepy and scary. i'd love to live there.

reply

Me too! I'd love to stay at a camp like this. We don't really have summer camps here in England. A bit of trivia you may or may not have known, but a lot of the crew actually stayed in the cabins at the camp for weeks while making the film (Tom Savini & Taso Stavrakis for sure). Pretty cool!

reply

who is taso stavrakis?

reply

Tom Savini's assistant. You can see his hands reaching up into the shot when Mrs. Voorhees is beheaded (they're a lot hairier than they should be for an elderly woman)!. He worked with Tom on Dawn of The Dead as well.

This is my all time favorite slasher. It is unquestionaly the creepiest and most atmospheric of them all:

-When Ned catches a glimpse of the killer standing on the cabin porch
-When Brenda catches a glimpse of the killer watching them from across the lake
-The dark feet entering the girls bathroom during the rainstorm
-The hand pulling the shower curtain back
-The shadow of the axe on the wall
-The bloody axe in the bed
-The turning doorknob above Alice's head when she was hiding in the pantry
-The shots of the lake right before it began to storm
-The swinging lamp in the darkened shower stall (as well as the shower curtain moving) after Brenda left the bathroom
