As a child of the 70’s/80’s I grew up with these films!! “Friday the 13th” holds a special place in my heart simply because my older brother snuck me into the theater to see it when I was waaaayyyy to young to be watching this thing. And from that day on, my brother and I have have made it a point to get together on opening night when any “Friday” film comes out.
Great show, can’t believe there was anyone still out there walking around who had never seen an installment of the series!?!? Another solid episode, and as I’m making my way through the back catalog of episodes, I love how Horror 101 has evolved, and the show continues to get better and better!!

Thanks Dave. We recorded Brian’s reaction to Friday 3 and 4 that same week. Not sure if I’ll make a show out of it but it’s still in the archives. We generally stray from the hugely popular films because everyone has scene it but like you said, when I found out he never saw any of them? That’s a reason to make the show right there.
