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.

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.

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!!!!

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.

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!

Does anyone know what to do if you have written an article that you think would be really good for this site?? is there a way to submit it??

Chestnuts roasted by Melvin Ferd @ 08/16/2005 12:13 PM

Why has no one mentioned Mega M&Ms?
toys and candy go together like love and marriage.

Chestnuts roasted by RAS @ 08/16/2005 1:04 PM

Melvin, there’s a question answered in the about section of the site that explains why Matt prefers to write all the articles of this site on his own.

There’s accually 2 Bobby’s World DVDs. The Signature Episodes and the Scratch and Sniff. Sometimes called Vol. 1 & 2. Jeez, I love that show.

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?

Chestnuts roasted by The Manimal @ 08/16/2005 8:51 PM

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.

P.S. Onslaught Six! From BWTF! It’s me, AU! Allmighty Unicron!

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.

I am going as the main character from Clockwork Orange this year

Bobby’s World got me thinking about Beakman’s World, my favoritest show in the whole wide world.
Beakman is on DVD, but it’s a "Best Of" instead of actual episodes.

I swear after reading that F13 piece we were separated at birth. Bravo, sir.

Chestnuts roasted by CJ @ 08/17/2005 5:51 PM

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.

Chestnuts roasted by PlaidPhantom @ 08/18/2005 1:07 AM

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.

You know i just find it funny, that with all the retro junk matt has he still does not have an actual "kool-aid" smiley pitcher perhaps we should fix that for him!

Chestnuts roasted by Evl Ash 3 @ 08/18/2005 4:56 PM

I’ve got one. I’d be more than happy to give it to ol’ Matt.

Chestnuts roasted by Jessie Spano @ 08/18/2005 5:44 PM

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

Matt, if you want my Kool-Aid man pitcher, send me a big fat line. My e-mail address is:

coreyhaimstooth@hotmail.com

Chestnuts roasted by Jessie Spano @ 08/21/2005 4:37 AM

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.

"Let me run this through the ol’ computer… Yah, you’re a dead fuck!"
