Friday The 13th Original Poster or Remake?

​

Both of these have a real sense of impending doom to them. The tagline on the original, the silhouette with the bloody knife and the dark atmosphere behind the campers.

​

The remake is simpler, but effective. Just the hockey mask and that tells you exactly what to expect.

So which poster is your preference? I have to say the original is mine.

Definitely the original. It's got the classic slasher movie motif and you know just from looking at it that you're in for a fun, campy horror ride. The original, like most horror movies these days, tries too hard to be "gritty" and "dark." What happened to fun slashers?

And you seem to be really getting into Ft13th, D.

The whole remake thing's sort of piqued my interest, I guess. I just found out the other day just how many spinoff novels and comic books there are of this. I had no idea the shelf life of the franchise was so long.

In pop culture...Jason is the 3rd most popular behind Godzilla and James Bond. Many fans actually want Voorhees on the "Walk of Fame" after Godzilla earned his star.
