08/14/2005: Ghoul-Aid and Friday the 13th: Part 2!

As mentioned in the previous thread, I went to the drug store today and found no less than Halloween Popcorn Balls. It’s starting, and I am thanking God. Let’s celebrate the upcoming unholiness by busting out the spookiest Kool-Aid of ‘em all — Ghoul-Aid! You may remember my 2003 attempt to recreate Ghoul-Aid using existing Kool-Aid flavors, but this time, it’s the real deal. It’s sweet, it’s black, it’s a Halloween mega attack.

But wait! There’s more!

I’ve mentioned the film often enough, so finally, here’s the skinny on Friday the 13th: Part 2, an idiotically wonderful movie that makes its way to my sensory organs at least once a week on average. It’s the first onscreen appearance of Jason Voorhees (as an adult, at least), and it’s amazing to see how much our pal changed through the years. Article covers my ten favorite things about the flick, from Jason’s house to the Pamela’s severed head. Enjoy.

Speaking of everyone’s Obsession with Golden Girls/Golden Palace on here, Bea Arthur was one of the roasters on Comedy Central’s Roast of Pamela Anderson. She was by far one of the best ones, because she read some excerpts from one of Pamela’s books, where she wrote about a hooker named Star who got a job as a lifeguard on a tv show, and dated a rock star. She read probaby the most grahpic parts, and delivered it the way only she could.

Pam’s response to her at the end was just classic: "It DOES sound sexier in a man’s voice!"

Aaah, memories.

One night several years ago my sister (a HUGE slasher flick buff) and I watched good ol’ part two. The house was dark and quiet and my sister is notorious for being easily freaked out during these films…so I did the only reasonable thing and when she left the room for a drink, I crouched behind the couch, spread an afghan over the back, propped my head on it, and did the best "dead face" Pam Voorhees I could come up with. Scared the living bejezus out of her (I think there was Diet Coke in the piano as a result of her panic), and to this day all I have to do is bare my teeth at her to freak her out.

Now that I think about it, earlier that night we had also watched part one, with my Dad sitting at his computer, playing solitaire. The computer was behind the couch my sister was sitting on and she got really jumpy, assuming he was going to scare her. Every time he stopped clicking the mouse, she’d freak and round on him. So finally he unplugged the mouse and clicked frantically while he crept up behing her…mayhem. It’s amazing the neighbors never called the cops.

I owe some of my best family members to the Jason series, apparently.

My favorite horror film review is "My Demon Lover," mainly b/c of Scott Valentine…and his pubes! Damn, he was hot as Nick on "Family Ties," but I remember when Jon Lovitz played Nick on "Saturday Night Live." Kinda ruined something.

Didn’t anyone notice the kool-aid man isn’t wearing the vampire costume – he’s sitting on top of it.

Matt, you should watch April Fools Day if you haven’t seen it. Awesome 80s horror movie, with Amy Steel if I remember correctly.

Ghosted by MissKitty @ 08/15/2005 10:45 PM EDT

Ekkostar: I watched some of the Night Court marathon this weekend. I never really watched it back in the day, but that’s a quality show there.

Flippin’ sweet articles once again, Matt. I never thought I’d have a craving for black Kool-Aid but that description made me wish I could travel back to the 80’s and pick up old Kool-Aid flavors. Sounds like a good sitcom premise. Every week you could introduce a classic Kool-Aid flavor to a different time period. I bet Ghengis Khan would be more of a Berry Blue fan than a Sharkleberry Fin fan. I don’t know why – I just have a feeling.

Matt’s cheking the Internet Movie Databse right now to confirm if Amy Steel is in that.

Cool T.J. I am still in Ct. It always amused me being that CT is pretty tame and boring place that we got to have camp crystal lake.

Hey T.J. I also heard they used parts of Candlewood Lake. Is this true ?

Ghosted by Melvin Ferd @ 08/15/2005 11:04 PM EDT

Oh yeah, and I got a kick out of the makeshift vampire Kool-Aid Man pitcher from the old Scary Blackberry alchemy article that’s linked to the current article. That made me laugh. You should resurrect the lil’ guy for this Halloween.

Ghosted by Gozer @ 08/15/2005 11:06 PM EDT

I’m not 100% sure about Candlewood. It is the largest lake in the state so it probably had alot of spots for coverage and things like that. And it’s not really all that far from Wauramaug. Another great spot to fish, but it’s loaded with waterskiers. Now that I think about it though, I may have heard that before. So we’re gonna say YES! Good Call!

This is for real my last post of the night:
Has anybody heard anything about a "Bobby’s World" DVD set ever coming out? I just saw Howie Mandell on Leno tonight and I remembered that show. Classic.

Ghosted by Gozer @ 08/16/2005 12:08 PM EDT

Yeah, "Bobby’s World" IS on DVD…not the whole series, but last summer while browsing the aisles in Best Buy, I saw "Bobby’s World: The Scratch N’ Sniff Episodes" which was like, 5 episodes picked by Howie himself. "Scratch and Sniff?" I asked? Well, needless to say, I bought it in a hurry. Okay, here’s the kicker: I get the damn thing home and open it, and out falls a small "scratch and sniff" card, with a picture of Bobby saying "Can you guess this smell?" So I scratched. And I sniffed. Know what the smell was? CARDBOARD. Freaking cardboard. It didn’t smell like anything…it was never supposed to! And I’ve hated Howie Mandel ever since…because that son of a bitch got one over on me…and there’s nothing I can do about it.

Ghosted by The Intimate Warrior @ 08/16/2005 12:38 PM EDT

I actually think that cardboard gag is kinda funny.

Ghosted by super_dex @ 08/16/2005 6:09 AM EDT

I’m about to feel like a complete nerd for posting this, but I must.

This is an actual theorization I have come up with after ‘multiple’ viewings of F13 Part 2.

I theorize that Jason’s mother was involved in some high-end voodoo shit. Raising the dead, possessions, demons, the whole lot. Jason’s basic immortality and dealing with Freddy–who’s also all Demony and dead too–seem to prove this.

‘But that’s obvious, O6!’ you say. You didn’t let me finish…

I theorize that in Part 2 Jason is actually attempting to do a voodoo reincarnation ritual to bring his mother back to life. I assume that his mother actually showed him how to perform this at some point during his childhood. The reason he has to kill the victims of the movie is, obviously, to use the bodies in the reincarnation, probably as some kind of messed up Leatherface-type thing.

So yeah–I think Jason was just killing people to get his mother back with supernatural wizardry. Now, obviously, they lost this transition in the newer movies where Jason just randomly punches people’s heads off for no apparent reason, but they seem to have brought at least some element of it back into the more recent movies.

Or I’m reading way too much into this crap.

Ghosted by Onslaught Six @ 08/16/2005 7:28 AM EDT

O.S. — that actually makes perfect sense, and is supported by all the wacky voodoo shit from Jason Goes To Hell.

Matt-"My Demon Lover" is one of my favorite reviews!!!!!! It’s also the one that got me hooked on this site!!!!

Ghosted by Allison @ 08/16/2005 9:55 AM EDT

Thundercats box set–I smell an impulse buy!!! Of course, not for me, but maybe for the boyfriend. I don’t know.

By the way, I picked up the "I Love the 80s" board game at Target yesterday for the boyfriend’s 27th b-day next week. It is a Tarjay exclusive! I went to Tarjay to see if there was anything else I could get him, and I saw the day-glo box, which was screaming "BUY ME!" I hate when stuff does that b/c then I follow the command to "buy it." Of course, it wasn’t really screaming "BUY ME!" it was just so inviting that I NEEDED to get it for him.

I never leave Target empty-handed. That’s pretty bad.

Ghosted by Allison @ 08/16/2005 10:00 AM EDT

Off topic, but who cares?

"Saturday Night Live" 31st season premiere is on October 1st. Rumor has it that Ashlee Simpson wants to host and be the musical guest during the fall. Maybe she’ll sing–er–lip sync to "Pieces of Me" again. We were watching that ep last season, and when she does the hokey dance off the stage, we went "ok…what was that?" Health condition or band mix-up my arse–she was caught lip synching!!!!!!!!

You know I’ll be home to watch the season premiere!

Onslaught Six,
I don’t know, man. I guess it’s possible but….
To me, Jason is just a normal killer in 2. Things don’t start getting out of hand (unrealistic) until part III when he really CANNOT be killed for ANY reason. I think the voodoo stuff was tacked on after the fact as an attempt to explain why this guy is indestructible. In F13 pt. 4, and HALLOWEEN II for that matter, the killer is definitively killed
(hence both F13 5 and HALLOWEEN III go into "new" directions). When Jason comes back in part 6 as a zombie, at least his superpowers(?) are understandable.
To be fair, I havent seen JASON X or FREDDY VS. JASON so maybe I am not getting the full picture…
Dear God, is it really my job to shape the young minds of America??
Speaking of which, MUPPET BABY, when do you start teaching?

Ghosted by The Manimal @ 08/16/2005 8:51 PM EDT

Hey, has anyone already started to build their Halloween costumes yet? I’m shopping around for something that would make realistic hentacl… I mean tentacles for Cthulhu’s face.

I just watched *Ghoulies IV*!

Then, to make sure I got full value out of it, I re-read your review.

I think I must have been typing on-line and not paying attention when all the weird stuff with the sumo on a leash and so on happened.

Also, I think that the "house" where all this happened was the mental asylum where Alexandra was committed.

Here’s a bit of trivia for you Matt, Stuart Charno also had an extremely small role as Harrold "The Reptile" Sherbickle in "Just one of the Guys". He was the weirdo guy who was told to put his little lizard pet friend into his locker by the gym teacher and then proclaimed he couldn’t because the alligatots would eat him.

Ghosted by PlaidPhantom @ 08/18/2005 1:07 AM EDT

I love this flick ! Just like all other Jason movies. The best part was the end with Pamelas head.

Ass rockin’ review, Matt. Do more!

A weird thing I noticed on repeated viewing of the film: When Ginny is hiding from Jason under the bed in the cabin, a mouse scares her and she almost loses it. Well during that scene, a puddle of urine is made. We always thought Ginny pissed her pants, but then agreed it was the mouse/rat.

playing Resident Evil 4 reminds me of F 13 2 every time one of the psychotic bag head chainsaw villagers shows up least until they spew spanish gibberish anyway.

Ghoul Aid however must been one of those flavors that flew under my radar tho I’ve had Gatorade Black thunder which attempts the same flavor.

I almost made a teacher wretch in high school drinking black thunder I knelt next to the ajnitors mop bucket made it look like I was filling the bottle with gunk water and took a gulp…..I was a distrubed teen

Wow, man. I think we have the exact same taste in horror flicks. I totally loved this Jason movie as well, thanks for the awesome review. I always tell folks this and 4 are my favorites. Crispin Glover is so fuckin goofy in it, and his death cracks me up. If I ever meet him I’m going to call him Dead Fuck. Oh yah, and lil’ Corey Feldman is fun to point at.
