As it stand in history thus far. the planned 13 friday the 13th movies still are a movie short. That is of course if you count Jason vs Freddy, which I do. the problem is that over the last couple decades Friday the 13th sequels have been few and far between. after the abortion of Jason takes Manhattan, the film series suffered a near fatal stroke. the final friday also known as Jason goes to hell, the 9th in the series tried to revive life in the series but quickly it slumbered yet again. not until the inevitable horror movie journey into space occurred. Jason X, most would have depicted this as the nail in the coffin but since Jason has a talent for escaping death to return from the grips of it's own demise, Jason vs Freddy was born. the movie some fans had waited for. for me it was 15 long years. i drew comics of my childhood heroes battling it out for the title of greatest killer of the late 20th century. unfortunately it was to late. by the 21st century not many were still interested. but i was. this marked the end of e genre that had roared and burned through the 1980's only to die very slowly in the 90's and finally die in the beginning of the 21st century. but Jason doesn't die so easily. and in the age of remakes the ultimate 12th movie of the hockey masked super powered machete wielding killer rose from the ashes of what was pretty much the dead corpse of superstition. but with this remake, perhaps it was to much. to many influences from the original films. now with no where to go friday the 13th has literally no new story to tell....... or does it?
Many would say that they have a favorite friday the 13th. typically most people say 4,6, or 7.
mine is 7.
friday the 13th part 7 the new blood for me was the ultimate glimpse as to where the movie franchise should go. what do i mean?
well if you're a fan reading this you know for a fact that part 7 was where Jason finally met his match. a teen girl with telekinetic powers. most people are in line with how awesome that really was. some people claimed it was to over the top and that some telekinetic was going to far beyond reality. HELLO jason is back from the dead again! i'm not going to say anymore.
well i decided to watch this masterpiece. it dawns on me. this movie could totally have a sequel. here's the tricky part. is it a sequel to friday the 13th the remake or friday the 13th part 7 the new blood? i mean they really did reboot the franchise. i say it's both. the events in the remake happened, so it's clearly that Jason. however, you grab Lar Par Lincoln
and you have her reprise her role from part 7. she has the same memories from that movie and it's now 25 years later and she has moved on with her life but, considering that the killings have started again, she feels compelled to return to crystal lake. there she encounters remake Jason. she can even have lines in the movie that have her recall him being far more decayed and gross from her recollection.
see bending the realities like that gives it something old and something new and makes it possible for people who like both versions to enjoy this movie.
it should be called Friday the 13th part 13
the conclusion.
end the series with the movie it deserves.
hell throw tommy Jarvis up in there too for good measure.

Let the series end with the way any series of movies should with fans walking out the movie theater saying "holy shit! that just happened! that was amazing!"
if paramount and new line cinema see this blog you should take my advice and at least consider it.
and if you need any help let me know. ;P
