Michael Myers 1
Pfff somebody good final needs to do Friday the 13th i mean they all sucked.

SlipknoT
more halloweens have sucked compared to the friday series

Michael Myers 1
LoL i mean the first halloween was better than all the Friday the 13ths combined

Freddy_vs_Jason
most of the halloweens sucked, most of the firday the 13th's were good, but will jason be "urban" jason?, and i think ken kinzinger should play jason, hes much taller and scarier

Lord_Andres
woohoo Kane Hodder stars again big grin big grin big grin big grin Happy Dance

Freddy_vs_Jason
i wonder why kane wasnt in freddy vs jason, but i bet he wasnt happy about that

SlipknoT
Urban jason? I think you mean uber jason

stinkfist462
i thought kane was in freddy vs jason .. i might be wrong ..

Evil Dead
1. The original Halloween is better than all of the Friday the 13th sequels combined..................notice I said sequels as the first Friday the 13th was a damn good movie. The Halloween sequels on the other hand are far worse than the Friday sequels.

2. Ken Kerzinger starred as Jason in Freddy v/s Jason. The reason Kane Hodder did not get the part is because he is too big. They needed a much "less-built" actor/stunt man to play Jason because he would be engaging in hand to hand combat with Freddy Krueger. Quite simply, Kane Hodder is too muscular to share the screen with Robert Englund. He would make Englund look like a piss ant in physical comparison.

When you've got one villain/horror icon on the screen.......it's great for him to be big, beefy, and menacing. When you have two icons on the screen battling each other however, there must be a balance. It needs to look like an as much of an even fight as possible.

Random trivia : They offered Kane Hodder a role in Freddy v/s Jason. They offered him the part of the bald security guard (with the goatee) at the mental hospital who gets killed when all the kids go there at night. Kane said if he wasn't wearing the mask, he wasn't going to be in the movie.

Lord_Andres
just like to add to Evil dead post. That Ken Kirzinger is acturly taller than Kane Hodder, but as ED said Kane is more musculer than Ken big grin

BidMyBlood2Run
Ugh, that Friday the 13th part whatever we're on now sounds horrible!

Michael Myers 1
LoL ok whatever you say about the Halloween movies i dont give a **** but come on you make it seem like Friday the 13th was good. i mean i got jason goes to hell and i think im gonna burn it.

Happy Dance YaY one less peice of Crap! Happy Dance

Lord_Andres

Michael Myers 1

h0ck3yh0rr0r

halloween I and II are better than all the friday 13th movies combined.

Lord_Andres

SlipknoT

Jason420
The only good halloween is 1 and most of the jason movies were good except the one where that kid grew up and became jason

Michael Myers 1

Michael Myers 1

Jason420
halloween 3 was the worst horror movies ever

Michael Myers 1
thats why it has something to do with Friday the 13th eek! ok maybe Friday the 13th was a little better than H3

SlipknoT
why do you hate friday the 13th so much

Michael Myers 1
i dont hate it that much but when people are like "yea friday the 13th is way better than halloween" i gotta stick u for it you know

h0ck3yh0rr0r
lord andres you think im on drugs cuz of my opinions...i think ur the one on crack and you know im right man. Friday 13th movies were all gore and the movies got boring soooo fast. At least halloween movies got some good action. And gore was very weak in Halloween series. more realistic.

jason undead
action? you mean those stupid karate moves bustha rymes did against michael.

Michael Myers 1
yea but in jason x what about that lady that goes crazy on jason

jason undead
yeah but later in the movie she gets her head punched of.

Michael Myers 1
still it was kung fo shit and freddy (from Halloween 8) got stabbed but hes not dead........ yet

h0ck3yh0rr0r
yo when busta did karate on mike myers i thought that was funny and stupid. it made movie better and worse.

Jason420
the only good part in resurrection is when busta was crackin on michael thinkin it was some1 else that was hilarious

h0ck3yh0rr0r

Freddy_vs_Jason

Well, both Halloween and Friday the 13th have their down falls(Bad and campy acting, cheesy humor, and sometimes insanely embarrassing plots.) First the bad, I think we could all agree that Halloween 3: Season of the Witch was a joke considering that it had nothing to do with the story of Myers, it was just a way for Carpenter to try his hand at a different style while using the same popular Halloween name to sale tickets. Next the most recent Halloween for the fact that Myers looked ridiculous with the hard shiny looking mask and for the cheap ploy of throwing in a rap star to try to sale more tickets. I think we'd all agree that the mask from the first film was the best. On to Friday the 13th; Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday was horrible because we only get to see Jason in his own body at the beginning and ending of the film. And then of course Jason X because after we all finally got over the whole in space thing we wished that Jason would just stay normal instead of turning into the cheesy looking Uber-Jason. Now the best of the best, Halloween,
Halloween 2, and Halloween 6 and then Friday the 13th part 4, 6, 7, and 8. Final thoughts are that I like Ken Kirzinger much better than Kane Hodder, no one we'll ever be able to replace Robert Englund and although I do believe that the next Friday the 13th installment is coming I don't believe that it will be with that plot. Also I don't think that it should be after Jason X, I think it should be after Freddy Vs Jason(Part9.5), but that could get confusing with Freddy Vs Jason 2 on the way and the fact that Freddy Vs Jason isn't actually considered to be a sequel to either film, but more of a hybrid. And lastly I'm very excited to see what happens with the Special Edition Friday the 13th DVD Box Set and the Friday the 13th series with the name "Crystal Lake Chronicles" in mind.

Cinemaddiction
One word. Paragraphs.

Cinemaddiction
Oh yeah, I call bullshit on Part 11, also. There were 8 years between 9 + 10. On top of 10 bombing, there is no evidence to support any sequels anytime in the near future.

darkesthorror
Here's just a peice of evidence besides interviews with Sean Cunningham mentioning the next installment along with Ronny Yu, Robert Englund and Ken Kirzinger having things to say about it as well as the Nightmare prequel. Here's an article taken straight from Bloody-disgusting.com...

Thirdly - and god I hope this is not old news! - the popularity of F vs J has breathed new life into the "Jason" franchise too. They'll be making another solo one of him too. Not in space apparently - just back to the roots. Camp Crystal Lake. I asked when, they said 'a couple of years' when Sean finishes it."

dannyh321
How did Tommy Jarvis get to the future, don't tell me he was frozen too?

Also, surely there is no crystal lake as thats on Earth 1. Earth 2 (where Jason lands) is a different planet altogether.

Zilverz
Back to Tommy Jarvis I think is an excellent idea. Tommy is the only one to ever really kill him.

tabby999
maybe its like a decendent of Tommy Jarvis? like how Jason can be reborn through any Voorhees (hope i spelt that right) woman as long as its his decent, maybe the same works with killing him? anyone of Jarvis decent has a better chance of killing him?

Zilverz
they can just continue the story before jason X .. before he is captured ... or they can do the new planet .. whatever
