🎉 sorry Greg that was a long comment and I didn’t wanna keep making it too long but I really just wanna say at this point now is that we all love you and we all just wanna have a good time with you. Also, I personally appreciate that you gave us at least a complete season and then junk it in the middle of it. so once again, thank you and keep plugging away, buddy
🧟♂️🪦HHG and Greg I am seriously campaigning for the 80s version of prom night here. And sometime after the Friday the 13th run, I would love to see the girls react to it because that has a plot to it for a slasher movie.
The recaps were important because home video wasn't really a thing yet. VCRs and Betamax were insanely expensive, and these movies were too violent for TV. If you missed Part 2, it was difficult to catch it elsewhere.
I was going to mention this, but you beat me to it. I remember my family renting the VCR from the video store during this time, until they became cheap enough for us to be able to buy our own. Which I don't think we were able to do until 1985 or so.
On the flip side, back then, horror flicks would play at drive ins and dollar theaters for months after the initial theatrical release. So, for some Friday fans, they could go see part 2 at the dollar theater, then catch the opening of Part 3 three or four months later.
@@seans.8803 I just looked up an old advertisement for a VCR from 1982. Brand new, a Sanyo VCR went for $599.00 back then. When adjusted for inflation, that's about $1,775.00 in today's economy. So yeah, only the really wealthy owned VCRs back then.
A wait minute Jason Voorhees should uses a machine gun and man he would destroy everything in his path. Then uses tear gas in new film and see victims cough from Terrible smells.😂😂😂
So Friday the 13th Part 3 was originally shown in theaters as a 3D movie. All of the shots with the lens were the 3D "coming at ya" shots, that were popping out of the screen with the glasses.
@@richardb6260actually, IIRC it actually started the 1980's 3D movie craze. It was the first movie filmed using the new 3D film technology, and was released before Jaws 3D or Amityville 3D.
And thus, the hockey mask look that Jason sticks with for the rest of his franchise has arrived. It'll always be crazy to me that it took two movies to get to Jason being the main slasher and three movies to figure out what his costume should be. That's not to say the scarecrow, bag over his head was bad, it's honestly perhaps the last time Jason was truly scary. But now, with three, we are soon going to be introduced to one of my favorite horror protagonists of all time. Keep up the great reactions.
@@Kevmaster2000To me, slashers are the scariest horror movies. Demons? Zombies? Vampires? Werewolves? Those don't exist. I don't care how well made The Exorcist was, it's not scary to me because I don't believe in fairy tales. Psycho killers are real. John Wayne Gasey, Ted Bundy, Willy Pickton, Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dahmer, were all very real. The concept of a masked psychopath with an axe waiting for you in the shadows is far more frightening than any fairy tale monster. To me at least.
The hockey mask just happened. They didnt have a look for jason in this movie. they wanted to discard the bag look. a prop guy just happened to have a hockey mask in his bag so they used it and it stuck.
It’s funny watching Roxy, you can tell her love language is physical touch, and Tara doesn’t really vibe with that but will allow it for Roxy to express herself. 😂😂
Still overthinking these. She chopped his head. The rest was delusions from a psychotic break. And thankfully there was no one at Paramount saying WE GOTTA SHAKE THINGS UP because the format worked and audiences loved it. Locally we have a huge lake with houses and campgrounds all around it. Same thing with Crystal Lake. Jason sees it all as his territory.
Their criticisms are fair, y'all just cant see through rose tinted glasses. They fully grasp that these movies set the bar that they find repetitive. But5 thats not what theyre even complaining about. This is the same movie as part 2 which was the same exact movie as the first. Except with each one, the quality drops.
Jason protects Crystal Lake. If you don’t like the premise of Jason killing kids off one by one at the lake then this might not be the franchise for you.
@@marcusmcgill4423 They first introduced the concept in "Freddy vs. Jason" by contrasting the characters' two hells--Freddy's hell is that he can't kill people. Jason's hell is that he HAS to kill people for eternity.
Recap is not only for people who have seen the previous one - and you can forget a lot in one year! - it's also for people who have not seen it yet. There were no VHS back then!
@@MacMc691Yeah, but the machines were extremely expensive. Only the wealthiest families could afford to own their own VCRs. They didn't become affordable enough to be in every household until around 1985 or 1986. Remember how darned expensive BluRay players were when they were first released? Or BluRay discs for that matter? The players were at least triple the cost of DVD players, and BluRay discs were about double the cost of DVDs. And it was just as insane with VCRs in the early 1980's. Try Googling an advertisement for a VCR from 1981 or 1982. Then calculate the price to account for inflation. It'll blow your mind.
@@MacMc691however, even if you had a VCR in 1982, back then the window from a movie opening to theaters to home video could be more than a year (for example, Return of the Jedi didn’t come out on home video until 1985, two years after it came out in theaters). Friday the 13th 3 came out in theaters just a little over a year after Part 2, when people may have not had a chance to rent it yet and watch it again to recap anything they may have forgotten.
@@bobcobb3654 There isn't an "if you had a VCR back in 1982", we did have one. Context is important here, it was stated, "There were no VHS back then!", which is what I replied to. To elaborate on your post, yes, movies typically took over a year to be released, irrelevant to the statement that was made, in addition, those movies would easily run people over $100.00 to purchase, assuming there was even an option to buy, which most movies, there was not. To elaborate a little further, the first time I started seeing VCR's was sometime back in the late 70's, the Laser Disc in the late 70's and very early 80's, was the go-to for buying movies.
Hi girls. This is the reason the objects were so close to the screen and I quot: "Friday the 13th Part III was released theatrically in the United States on Friday, August 13, 1982. It was the first-ever 3-D film to receive a wide domestic release" Great reaction, I can't wait for the upcoming vídeos. Greetings from Paraguay ✨
Jason is back to his old ways, killing anyone who gets in his way. This marks the debut of Jason's hockey mask, which became a trademark for the series and Jason himself.
IDK if anyone mentioned it, but the cool thing about the hockey mask is, it happened by accident! Someone from the production had brought his personal hockey mask on set. They saw it and just said let's try that one for Jason... and history was made!
The actual original mask was not the one seen in the film. They actually took the original mask and made a cast of it, then extended the casted mask to make it bigger around the edges so it would fit Jason's head better.
"The time of movies where only colored people were villains" We're...just going to ignore that there was a white person right there as part of the gang? And we're also going to ignore that the overarching villains of the series have both been white people? Okay, then.
haven't you heard? its offensive to have even minor non-white antagonists in movies where the actual villain is a white guy...like Jason, Freddy, Michael, Leatherface, Chucky, Norman Bates, Pinhead, Jigsaw, etc. Seriously though, imagine not being able to turn off your woke nonsense long enough to enjoy an hour and a half of harmless entertainment such as the Friday the 13th movies. 😂
You hit the nail on the head that "not everybody is watching these movies back to back," which is the reason for the long recaps. You also have to remember that even VHS was in its infancy in 1982, so it was difficult to watch these movies on demand back then. People actually went to the theaters to watch movies. LOL
they aren't on the camp ground this time, they are at the lake but it's a different part of the lake...not that it matters to Jason...as far as jason is concerned they on his turf...he be like "get the fu%$ of my land bit$£!" to be angry is to be human, there is nothnig wrong with being angry or upset after being rejected...but you can;t stay that way...you got to let it go. it's not on a CAMPSITE! it's at a CABIN...with a barn...it's a completley different location...just on the same lake. the first two films are more or less in the same place (give or take maybe being a little way apart) but the third is like on the other side of the lake.
Thank you Greg for the Shejects ❤❤❤you ladies are the best ❤it would be awesome if you did Abigail! Yall would love it❤❤I love my violet Shejects sweater! I'm honestly surprised that either one of you stunning women have ever been rejected!
Something crazy is that i grew up right next to Elm Street, 20 minutes away from a Crystal Lake, and 10 minutes from a road called Lampkin... So i got Freddy, Jason, and Michael in my area 😭😭😭
LOL, I feel like you guys didn't know that this movie was made to be shown in 3-D, which is why there were so many at camera stunts. The 3-D gimmick that originated in the 1950's had a bit if a comeback in the early 80's, with movies like this and Jaws 3. BTW, Jason's weapon of choice is not a chainsaw, it's a machete. You are likely thinking of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
I don't usually comment on any RU-vid channel that I follow but I wanted to say that I like watching all of you (guys & gals) on this channel. You all seem like genuine, good people who enjoy the content as much as I do and you are all fun to watch my favorite content with.
The one thing I hate about reactors is they always criticize character traits and decisions based on modern sensibilities when it could’ve been completely normal and accepted 40 years ago.
Ok, so this is the one that started it all for me as a kid. This also in my opinion starts the golden age of friday the 13th. And part 4 starts the jarvis trilogy which is fucking beloved. I really hope yall make it all the way to the recent fanmade "never hike alone" series.
Roxy seems very bored. Even when she gets to see the mask, she's not very excited. I'm guessing that this series of movies is simply not in her wheelhouse. Not her cup of tea. I don't even know if the Crispin Glover dance in the 4th one will wake her up. I do hope they show that scene in its entirety! It's the funnest this series gets and it's one of a kind.
“She would be so into you if only you were the complete opposite of what u are”, just change your DNA and upbringing and she will like you, that’s all. Lol.
I always like how Jason walked out of the house so nonchalant before getting whacked in the head, he might as well have been humming a tune on the way out.🤣
The "Final" Chapter is one of the best in the franchise and it switches it up. Tom Savini also comes back to do the practical effects and he's a horror legend.
The Rocky franchise is famous for doing these recaps at the beginning of the sequels, I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that VCRs and video tapes were new and people of course didn't have streaming services, they actually had to wait a year or so in between films in the theater.
As someone who doesn’t know how all this stuff works I do however understand there are so many reasons why you react to what you react to. People need to realize it’s not just you guys recording a reaction it’s scheduled complications it’s editing if it’s not going to perform why do it. Not to mention people have personal things going on. And like I said so much more that’s only some of the basics. You guys are all amazing and I will alway appreciate your love for these horror movies. Some people overthink them and a lot of times it’s a sit back and just enjoy the ride thing.
Friday The 13th Part III is cheese but a fun entry! The speculation for why they did a flashback of Jason attacking Chris was because it was supposed to be the final entry and they wanted the audience to really not like Jason by making him really bad!
Ever notice that Camp Crystal Lake always looks different with a lot of the movies?...well because (unlike parts 3 and the beginning of part 4) the filmmakers used a different location for the many of films (they never use the same location twice). 😉
Which is another reason why it's annoying that parts 2-4 are supposed to be taking place within days of each other. That and Jason gaining a foot in height and putting on like 50 lbs of muscle within a few days.
@@willE84 - remember theses movies are supposed to be viewed as cheap entertainment (made on lower budgets for maximum profits) & check your brain at the door types of films, not to be viewed as historical dramas (because these films ain't them) and adherence to authentic accuracy (these are horror fantasies - come on now, Jason dies at the end of every movie yet always comes back in the next one after all. Yeah, that's real alright. *Eyeroll*) There are all sorts of continuity errors, inconsistencies, plot holes and leaps in logic throughout the Friday The 13th/Jason franchise (and many other horror franchises in general) but if you view them with the right frame of mind there is enjoyment to be had (including with all the goofs, gaffes and everything else in between). These are schlock horror films but in the best ways (in my opinion).
Will you guys be reacting to the friday the 13th 2009 remake? Definitely worth a watch. Also well said at start of the video. We wouldn't have any of these reactions with all you guys without Greg.
7:05 This was still 1982, there was no streaming, not everybody had BetaMax players or VCR's. Plus I don't think these movies were on cable just yet. So them doing recaps was probably reasonable at that time.
they did the movie lens stuff you mention because the original theatrical release was "Friday the 13th Three -- in 3D". You had to wear the red and blue 3D glasses at the theater. Trust me, i know, i was there.
Actually, the 3D glasses back then had greyish tinted lenses, not red and blue. My eldest sister kept hers after seeing Friday The 13th 3D in theatres when we were kids (I was too young to go to it with her when it came out).
You dont see many people reacting to these friday films these days but im happy you guys are doing it and i get to watch from part 1 on up instead from mid way, btw this is where the series starts getting good
You guys caught on to the clothes being taken quicker than people who have been watching em for years! I’m in F13 groups and people are still asking about the clothing switch
So funny watching two fun and sophisticated girls try to make sense of a 80’s slasher movie. Sean Connery once said to an aspiring actor during a scene “Come now this isn’t Shakespeare!” I believe he was in a rush to play golf. 👍💯😇
What if chucky series season 2, 3 and so on done like annual events every October. Like we cover season 2 in October in 2025. Season 3 in 2026 possible season 4 in 2027. If not it's cool cause i don't know how it all works lol
Friday the 13th is a fascinating series because culturally it’s not what people expect until halfway through the series. And if you’ve seen what the horror genre has also been doing in the 80s it doesn’t come across as impressive, but I’d still say it’s a great starting point for the slasher genre. This entry specifically is near the bottom of my ranking and I’m very curious how the She-Jects will react to the next couple entries before Jason and the franchise turns recognizable to pop culture.
I read into friday the 13th part 2 so apparently a theory about the ending how ginny is taken away in the ambulance paul is nowhere to be found when Paul saves Ginny. He actually died there fighting Jason the second time and ginny was traumatized by the experience that she sliced jason and imagined that paul and muffin the dog were still alive and Jason dragging her out the window. Similar with Alice imagining Jason pulling her into the lake and Chris gets attacked by Jason’s mother in the lake. And Jason moms head was smiling in the last shot to symbolize Jason got Paul.
That's ALMOST my head canon for Part 2. Except that in my version, Paul lives. Everything up to Ginny collapsing by the large puddle of water happened exactly as shown in the movie. Paul picks Ginny up and carries her the rest of the way, and THAT is where Ginny starts hallucinating, imagining the return of Muffin and Jason attacking her through the window. This is somewhat confirmed in the news report in Part 3. The reporter said that "Eight bodies were found literally strewn across the campsite". Had Paul been killed, the body count would have been nine.
@@fnfmashups3962 It wasn't retçonned. It was ALWAYS just a dream. It just wasn't done as well as Alice's dream at the end of Part 1, which lead to a bunch of confusion. The real question is when and where does real life end for Ginny, and where does the movie become her hallucination? Some people say back at Jason's shack, right after she hacked into his shoulder with the machete. I say that it happened when Ginny and Paul stop to rest by the large puddle of water that marked the halfway point between the camp and his shack. Some people believe that her hallucination doesn't start until the moment that they reach the door to their cabin (which I concede as a definite possibility). But Muffin being alive and Jason breaking through the window to attack Ginny is, was, and always has been a dream.
They don’t switch it up because this is all fans needed back in the 80s and we who were introduced to it in the 90s and 00s as kids were into it as just a staple. It’s simple, it’s fun, it’s gory! Nothing more, Nothing less. All the tropes of classic horror slashers. This is not for some deep smart character driven in depth story. We come to see Jason stalk and kill a bunch of horny high and sometimes funny teens/people. You’ll get some switch ups later in the series which at the time were FAILURES to the point that we just wish they would go back to the formula of camp and kill. But something tells me you will enjoy the shittier movies based in other locations.
Honestly, the Friday the 13th series isn't about the characters (except for one you'll meet next movie). The series, from what I see as a fan, is about Jason and his creativity for kills. Also! I would love, love, LOVE to see you two react to the Evil Dead franchise. There's not a single bad Evil Dead movie. Each one is different and the TV show is fucking amazing.
Here’s some franchises you guys should check out. Scream, Hatchet, Evil Dead, Psycho, The Ring, Scary Movie, Wishmaster, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Urban Legend, Terrifier, Rob Zombie’s Firefly trilogy, The Shining/Doctor Sleep, and of course my fav Halloween. There’s so many more I have not listed as well.
I really appreciate what you two had to say at the beginning, while I was upset that we’re not getting a Chucky season 2&3 reaction, Greg didn’t deserve the hate and the awful comments. Love the reel rejects And love the she-jects!!❤❤
I hate to break it to y’all, but most of these films are pretty much carbon copies of one another with the exception of a few sequels. That’s where the beauty of them is in their simplicity, but if you’re not happy with the formula this early in the franchise, I don’t know how you’re gonna get through the rest to be honest lol.
Story and TONE wise, the first four are similar..... Earnest people gradually get rubbed out by a psycho in the woods. With the late 80's entries (and beyond), there is a lot more experimentation with story, characters, and tone.
It's implied that everything after Kris ends up on the canoe is a dream sequence, though that makes no sense since she'd have no idea who Mrs. Voorhees is. They just wanted one last jump scare.
I am truly born in part 3. Yeah the sack head look was alright, but this is the moment I became apart of the Zeitgeist forever. Jason lives. Long live Jason. Part 4 and 6 are the best. Fyi.

That's totally depressing! This formula doesn't do anything for me. Which is why I've only seen the first movie, which was even boring with Kevin Bacon!
@@imaspoon4522for the best experience, I start with 4. Move to 6. Go to X and then FvJ. The remake is actually my favorite in the series. Leagues better than the original.
The formula is great. Don’t fix what isn’t broken. That’s why they are comfort movies. Also, the series is famous because the movies are good. They are all good except for 9.
I’m not a huge horror fan but I’ve always wanted to see these classics - watching them with Roxy and Tara is the perfect solution! Loving these reactions 💖💃🎉
you gotta thin about the time they did recaps. In the late 70's early 80's they reacapped movies because for most. many didnt see the last since it came out a year or two or more ago. This was when cable was limited or non-existent and network tvs didnt run friday the 13th on their channels. This also before VHS so there was no home video rental unless you were rich and had that laser disc thing. So many movies did recaps to remind folks what happened in the last one. Superman 2 did it for superman.
Friday the 13th is my favorite horror franchise. If you’re tired of the formula by part 3 you’re in for a long experience. I highly recommend turning off your brain when you watch this series.
I gotta say I really, really, really think y'all screwed yourselves in the long run by not continuing with the Chucky series. Ending it was a bit short-sighted 🤷🏼♂️
I really enjoyed this! It was great! I know the first three movies are a little slow but I find 4 entertaining. Personally, for me, number 6 is where it's at. I think you're gonna have a lot of fun with six
This film is meant to be in 3D! That was the new element they tried bringing and it really elevates the film and makes for a way more engaging experience that way.
I try to tell people that 3-D is always a short-lived Fade that keeps coming back. It started in the 1950s, comeback in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and in the 2000s.
