Plus I had hosted standalone screenings of those two films in that very venue - I had already had the ideal experiences for both!Īs for Jason Lives, I had seen it recently enough, also when hosting it (at the Dismember the Alamo event last year), so I decided in advance that I'd leave on the high note of New Beginning, beating the sun home and getting 2-3 hours' sleep before someone far more unstoppable than Jason Voorhees woke me up (hint: he's only about 1/3 as tall and far easier on the eyes, though nowhere near as quiet). And watching New Blood is soul-crushing enough - doing it at 6:30 in the morning, with the harsh glare of daylight streaming into the New Beverly's lobby whenever I went out to refill my coffee or stretch my legs, would be akin to torture. I admit I have a soft spot for Manhattan, but it's also the longest in the original series, which would be like adding an extra hill at the end of a marathon. Even if I didn't have a baby (and sciatica, which flared up right around the time Jason finally got his hockey mask), it'd be too much to ask to stick around when it ended on the two weakest movies of the night. I like to be optimistic about everything, but I knew there was no way I could manage to stay for all eight movies. Yes, 9 hours - you might notice I didn't mention Jason Lives, New Blood, or Manhattan there. And luckily my good friend Jared Rivet was able to get in line early enough to snag us prime seats at the Bev (2nd row, which has the most legroom but isn't too close to the screen), so along with the pizza and snacks I brought in, and a can of Starbucks espresso shot, I knew I was in good shape for my 9ish hour journey.
well, even if it would be like 3 am when it started, the ideal way to watch that one is with a crowd. It's never NOT a good idea to watch Final Chapter, and New Beginning. Plus I knew Devin was going and I wanted to witness his realization that he was wrong about Part 2 in person, which I was sure would happen (spoiler: it didn't).

I had never seen the original on 35mm, and Part 3 would be in 2D, which would be an interesting way to watch the film with a crowd as there are more "Comin' At Ya!" shots in that film than any other 3D movie in history, I think (even more than the actual movie titled Comin' At Ya!).

Nowadays I usually peg my dislike of the idea on my limited free time (meaning, if I actually have 3-4 hours to watch two very similar movies, I'd rather watch one and then do something else), but even as a kid with nothing BUT free time I found it to be unappealing - I remember trying to watch the Star Warstrilogy when I was like 13 or 14 and giving up on Empirebefore Lando showed up.īut I'm a sucker for once in a lifetime opportunities, so even though I'm still catching up on sleep from the Halloween all-nighter two weeks ago, there was no way I could pass up the chance to watch the original Paramount run of Friday the 13th movies in glorious 35mm at the New Beverly. If they're a back to back kind of thing like Halloween1 and 2, or those two Saw entries that take place simultaneously, sure, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't getting bored before the 2nd film even reached its halfway point. I can MAYBE do 3 episodes of a really good show, like Lostin its prime, even more if it's a good anthology (peak Twilight Zone would be a good example), but as far as movies go I never even really want to do two entries.

I think I've explained in a previous Crypt that I'm not one for marathon viewing, either TV shows or movies.
