“The only way to kill Jason is to send him back to his original resting place where he drowned in 1957.”
Jason Lives! – Friday The 13th Pt. VI screens Midnights this weekend (October 13th and 14th) at The Moolah Theater and Lounge (3821 Lindell Blvd, St. Louis, Mo 63108) as part of Destroy the Brain’s monthly Late Nite Grindhouse film series.
By the summer of ’86, The Friday the 13th franchise was getting a bit tired, so it’s obvious that the makers of Jason Lives – Friday The 13th Pt. VI tried to spice things up and succeeded. It’s one of the very best of the series. .
A grown up Tommy (now played by Thom Mathews) goes to the cemetery to destroy Jason’s corpse once and for all. The horror gods aren’t too thrilled about that, so when Tommy rams a spear through Jason’s chest, lightning crashes down and...

I'm not particularly one to celebrate the Friday the 13th franchise, but here's something: in 1986, the sixth installment in the prolific slasher series anticipated the "meta" approach popularized by Scream by a full 10 years. Indeed, Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives was the first film in the long-running series -- and the first, if not one of the first, horror films -- in which the characters were self-aware of the genre's conventions. "I've seen enough horror movies to know any weirdo wearing a mask is never friendly," says one victim early in the film. "So, what were you gonna be when you grew up?" says another, sensing his imminent demise. At one point, an elderly gravedigger even goes so far as to break the fourth wall when he implores the audience: "Why'd they have to go and dig up Jason? Some folks sure got a strange idea of entertainment.

For more than thirty years, Friday The 13th has proven to be as unstoppable at the box office as its hockey-masked villain Jason Voorhees, having spawned twelve feature films!
I’m not a huge fan of the Friday The 13th series. I was in college when the first one came out and was just a bit too old to get too excited about the many sequels. But I saw them all! Mostly at drive-ins. I saw part 3 in 3-D at the now-defunct Westport Cinema in ’84 (I also saw Parasite in 3D there the same year) and always considered that my favorite of the series, probably just because of the gimmick. I really liked Jason X (the one in space) and think more highly of Freddy Vs Jason now than I did when I first saw it 10 years ago. The reboot was forgettable and I’m not surprised that it seems...
