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.

Sweet this is just what I needed!

Great article. OK, I’m only 1/3 of the way through, but still…great.

I bet Mama Voorhees was the type of woman who would turn a packet of Kool-Aid into a fridge magnet.

Got me somehow /more/ pumped for Halloween, and I didn’t even think that was was possible. Thanks!

having read the article now, I can’t believe I recongnized Stu before you said anything.

Matt -

I was picking up birthday cards from the drug store yesterday only to see Halloween candy already invading the shelves. So don’t think you’re too early…

Jeff, I just came from the drug store. And I came home with HALLOWEEN POPCORN BALLS. Oh yes!

I really need to watch these movies…does the dvd set include uncut gore because i’d be curiousto see exactly how bad it really is.

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 08/14/2005 4:39 PM

The DVD set includes a lot of cut scenes; there’s even a feature that lets you watch the for-movie and original cuts, splitscreen.

Woo-hoo! Halowe’en! As I posted in the last blog, before this one popped up, I am preparing to get some ‘Ween items as soon as possible. I gots two houses to set up this year. I wonder if there’s a video projector I can borrow. I might throw Vampire Hunter D or GhostBusters up on a wall or plastic sheet this year. As one of my favorite late night monster movie hosts used to say, "Keep America Strong, Watch More Horror Movies!"

I just made some kool-aid from a mystery color mystery flavor pack. It’s strawberry for sure but also the ugliest green I’ve ever seen.

Chestnuts roasted by dohopoki @ 08/14/2005 4:58 PM

Matt, give us some more cereal prizes and kool-aid man… we don’t need another animalia-esque abortion!

My dad went to school with the nude girl. Not kidding.

Working on a new Kool-Aid now, and slowly easing back into the CPP. (Waiting for the love to re-hit me.)

IFC has been showing horror films the last couple of Saturdays. They showed the first Friday the 13th and Bloody Valentine last Saturday. Last night they showed April Fools Day and Humanoids from the Deep. Both were interesting.

Great article but I think the slingshot to the short shorts should have gotten a nod. :)
I cant believe that was the same guy from the Hallmark commerical. Classic.
Matt, you already my hero and all but if you make the music for the intro to part III available for download, you will be one step closer to living sainthood. That is probably some of my favorite music and would be great for Halloween in the classroom.

Chestnuts roasted by The Manimal @ 08/14/2005 5:52 PM

Manimal, I plan to bring that music to the site during this year’s Countdown. It’s funky in all the right ways.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 08/14/2005 5:53 PM

Glad to hear it!! It is definitely a get on your feet and dance kind of funk.

I forgot to mention (and I am 90% sure that I am right) that Roger Ebert included F13 pt. 2 in his book, I HATED THIS MOVIE (or whatever it was called). I thumbed through the book and he is such a coward. He takes on F13 part 2, JUDGE DREDD and CALIGULA as if they weren’t easy targets for criticism. You’re a film critic, step up to the plate and take on a "real" movie. Had to throw that in.

Chestnuts roasted by The Manimal @ 08/14/2005 5:57 PM

I can’t wait for Halloween and this article just gave me that little drop I needed to coat my tongue for my ravaged thirst for the coming Witching Season. Thank you Matt, you are officially my hero of all things that make me go "Holy shit! I HAD that toy/drink/random bit of lint!!"

Chestnuts roasted by Josh @ 08/14/2005 6:25 PM

Good review. F13 Part 2 was always my favorite Friday movie. I just like the way they presented Jason in the film. Made him more human. No love for Crazy Ralph though? He’s pure money in the film. "I told the others, but they didn’t listen. You’re all doomed!"

Chestnuts roasted by Disgruntled Spam @ 08/14/2005 6:34 PM

I’ve got love for Crazy Ralph, but more like #15-20 range love.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 08/14/2005 6:35 PM

Is that the same Ghoul-Aid they made in the Darkwing Duck episode "Malice’s Resturaunt?"

Chestnuts roasted by Mystie @ 08/14/2005 7:08 PM

F13 II has to be my favorite of the bunch too. if you ask me whyna’t really say, but there is jsut something about it that makes me like it more than the others. And wasn’t there a crazzy guy who knew jason was going to kill everybody in most of the F13 movies?

Chestnuts roasted by Bright Noah @ 08/14/2005 7:12 PM

That’s very cool that they have the split screen option. I may just have to seek out these movies. The only one i’ve seen all the way through was the first one and it was on network television so it kinda sucked. I just remember the scene where Pam Voorhies gets decapitated was strangely edited. they basically showed it panned way to the left so all you could see was her arm flailing and the rest of her body out of picture. I hope that makes sense.
