00:00Welcome to the Kill Count, where we tally up the victims in all our favorite horror movies.

00:08I'm Crazy James and today we're looking at Friday the 13th Part II,

00:13released in 1981 a mere 10 months after its predecessor.

00:16As we learned in its Kill Count, no one expected the original Friday to be such a smash hit,

00:21but thanks to Tom Savini's gore, Harry Manfredini's score, and the last 15 minutes,

00:26with an unhinged Betsy Palmer and the swamp boy Jason jumpscare,

00:29people went kekeke mama motherfuckin nuts for the movie,

00:32and distributor Paramount asked for a sequel to be made post-haste.

00:36The decision to focus on Jason Voorhees was suggested by Phil Scuderi,

00:39one of Friday the 13th's Boston backers alongside Steve Monazian and Bob Barsamian.

00:44Look at these fuckin guys, they're such guys!

00:47But bringing Jason back to avenge his dead mom created a sort of paradox for the plot.

00:52After all, Jason drowned as a kid, which is why his mom started killing people in the first place.

00:57If you try to track that on any kind of a timeline, it makes no sense whatsoever.

01:01This nonsense turned off Tom Savini, the man who designed Little Swamp Boy Jason.

01:05And I got the script, and Jason is running around. I thought, what are you doing?

01:10There is no Jason. No, the mother's the killer, Jason was a kid that drowned in the lake.

01:13Oh, we're gonna change all that.

01:15Savini went to work on The Burning instead, and producer-director Sean S. Cunningham,

01:19who came up with Friday the 13th in the first place,

01:21also passed on the project so he could do something different.

01:24Why? You make a sequel!

01:26Directing duties fell to Cunningham's friend Steve Miner,

01:29a producer and one of the men most responsible for the original.

01:32Eager to prove himself in his directorial debut,

01:35the 29-year-old Miner rehired a lot of the first film's crew,

01:38and aimed to make a sequel that was faithful but faster and scarier.

01:42To that end, he succeeded. Though Friday 2 has plenty of downtime,

01:46it moves faster and looks better than the much more amateur Part 1.

01:49The first film's box office success supported the sequel a bigger budget,

01:53which Miner used in part on a steadicam that kept the camera in constant motion.

01:57For 8 weeks in the fall of 1980,

02:00Miner and his cast and crew filmed at Kenwood Camp in Kent, Connecticut.

02:03With Victor Miller also against having Jason as a character,

02:06Part 2's screenplay would be written by Ron Kurz,

02:09who did uncredited additions to the first film's script.

02:12He wrote the so-called humorous scene with a motorcycle cop,

02:15and at least he claims the Swamp Boy Jason ending

02:18"...Everybody, including the special effects man to the girl who went out for lunch,

02:23claimed to have written this scene. Ha ha ha. But, I wrote it."

02:28I think that scene much more likely came from Miller and Cunningham,

02:31but in any case, Kurz simply took the structure of the first film and repeated it.

02:35Part 2 is almost a remake as much as it is a sequel.

02:38Once again, attractive soon-to-be camp counselors get stalked by a mostly unseen killer.

02:43But thankfully, Part 2's characters feel more fleshed out and sympathetic

02:47than their Part 1 counterparts.

02:49And while Alice Hardy was a fantastic final girl,

02:52Ginny Field, as played by Amy Steele, is my favorite of the franchise.

02:56Even without Savini, Part 2's kills are pretty great,

02:58but because of the first film's success and reputation,

03:01the MPAA went hard on this movie, resulting in nearly a minute of gore being cut.

03:06The original footage was only recently found,

03:08and included on the Screen Factory box set of Blu-rays.

03:11Since it's graphic stuff, though, I can only show it in the explicit versions of these videos on Patreon.

03:16I'm sorry, but YouTube kinda feels like the MPAA in this case,

03:20particularly stingy about gore when it comes to Friday the 13th.

03:24No matter how graphic the kills are or aren't, it's my job to count em up!

03:28So let's go!

03:32The movie begins two months after the first film ended,

03:35with a kid splashin through a rainy street way too recklessly.

03:38Stupid kid, gotta look out for sewer clowns, brah.

03:42And Jason!

03:42Cause with the return of Harry Manfredini's string section,

03:45adult Jason takes his first steps towards avenging his murdered mother.

03:48He's approaching the house of Alice Hardy, our final girl from the first film,

03:52who's now wriggling around on her bed in a very green, very warm getup.

03:56Overalls AND a turtleneck? Girl, you about to be having the night sweats for sure!

04:01Even though this movie came out less than a year after its predecessor,

04:04it spends a full 5 minutes recapping the end of the original, Jason Chairjumper and all.

04:09Alice finally wakes up after a while,

04:11then walks around in a nothing scene while the camera follows her on a steadicam.

04:15There was no script written for this cold open,

04:17so when Adrienne King showed up to set she was told to improvise.

04:21She had to just make up everything she says here!

04:23I just have to put my life back together and this is the only way I know how.

04:27After 5 more languishing minutes, Alice opens up her fridge for a midnight snack of rotten head,

04:32which is when she's grabbed from behind and killed by an ice pick going through her temple.

04:37Go on and get it, little kitty!

04:38The photo girl's finally dead.

04:40Adrienne King agreed to return for a sequel, but was never told her part in it would be so small.

04:45I didn't know it was over for Alice until I got there, so surprise!

04:48With no script, she arrived on what she described as a hostile set,

04:52and that was before she got hurt by a faulty ice pick prop

04:55that didn't properly retract as it was pushed into her temple.

04:58Complicating matters was the fact that King was dealing with a stalker

05:01who started following her after the first film's success.

05:04Stalking was not taken seriously back in 1980.

05:08The stalker wove himself into her life and things got real fuckin' serious.

05:12"...Eventually, uh, I had a gun to my head... and, uh, I was able to talk the fan down."

05:21The experience obviously impacted her, but she credits healthy, loving fans that she's met

05:26at countless conventions for helping her heal and recover emotionally.

05:29Our same-style tiiiiidle card fuckin' explodes, giving us a big ol' part, too!

05:36And queuing up an AWESOME kick-ass credit sequence.

05:40Nope, nevermind, same as the first ones.

05:42We come out of the credits 5 years later,

05:44and since there's only an hour 15 left of this thing by now, we've gotta get moving fast.

05:49Good thing the character's driving

05:50EXTRA BIG ASS TRUCK

05:52Not Kevin Bacon Jeff and his underage girlfriend Sandra are passing through town

05:57on their way to be camp counselors, and we all know how Crazy Ralph feels about camp counselors.

06:02You're all doomed. You're all doomed.

06:06In this one, the counselors aren't at Camp Crystal Lake, they're at another camp,

06:10ON Crystal Lake, training at a place called the Pakenak Lodge.

06:13As you'll see throughout the series, Crystal Lake has a ton of summer camps and houses on its shore.

06:18The other counselors at the Pakenak Lodge include such mainstays as the hot chick

06:22and the perv who's always hitting on the hot chick.

06:24There's also a couple who are genuinely sweet, a bunch of background randos who don't really matter,

06:29and this goofy stork of a guy named Ted,

06:31who has a hard time finding good-length shorts for those stilts of his.

06:35Their boss, played by John Fury, is Paul Holt.

06:37Paul Holt!

06:38And his assistant-slash-romantic interest is our final girl Ginny Field.

06:42I love how frank and forward she is

06:44"...Ginny, I'm starting to worry about you."

06:46"...Bullshit, Paul."

06:49She can also handle a chainsaw and kick ass in chess,

06:52and she even gets a dab of backstory that comes in handy later

06:55"...Use a little of that child psychology you're majoring in."

06:57Ginny's the best.

06:58Like, Part 2, Friday's already building its own legend

07:01"...I don't wanna scare anyone, but I'm gonna give it to you straight about Jason."

07:04Good, straight talk only here, Paul.

07:06He gives a dramatic recital of Jason's backstory,

07:09conveying director Steve Miner's idea that Jason somehow survived his drowning.

07:13The campfire tale ends with a scare when Ted jumps out in a mask and fur undies.

07:17Haha, got em, Ted, you linguine-lookin muthafucka.

07:20Ted's played by Stu Charno, who was previously seen on the Kill Count in Christine,

07:24and whose nephew is Dan Sugarman, the guitarist for Ice Nine Kills.

07:28That band's straight up collecting people associated with whore, huh?

07:31That night, while the other counselors are arm wrestlin or doggie dancin,

07:35Ginny is spied upon while sucking face with Paul Holt.

07:37Turns out it's Crazy Ralph, given their spit-swap in the old Stink Eye,

07:41and he pays for his peeping tomory when he's killed with a garrote around his neck.

07:45Damn, just like that, we're out of characters from the original.

07:48Part 2 is thankfully not as glacial as the first film,

07:51since there are more endearing character moments that are awkward and or funny

07:55"...Come and get em! Here!"

07:57The increased comedy also comes from the film's visual language,

08:01like when Terry's dog Muffin comes across Jason in the woods

08:04and it smash cuts to hot dogs on the grill.

08:06Later, Muffin's fate is pretty much confirmed

08:08when Jeff and Sandra sneak off to trespass onto Camp Crystal Lake property.

08:12They find a mangled dog and are then found by Deputy Winslow,

08:15whose name is not in the movie but comes from the movie's novelization.

08:19Winslow's a local who's upset that Paul Holt's trying to start another summer camp here

08:23"...things have been quiet for 5 years and that's the way we want to keep it."

08:26On his way out he sees a figure run across the road,

08:29so he follows him, flouncing through the forest like a nimble wood elf.

08:32Wait, hold the deputy prancer and fix the hair! Great, back to it!

08:36Winslow runs for a good long while after a pair of legs speedwalking away in blue jeans.

08:40He comes across a makeshift shaft that must've been built by Jason,

08:44you know, during the 20 years after he was thought to have drowned but actually survived and,

08:48uh, I don't know, lived around the lake somehow?

08:51The ex-dead subpar swimmer sneaks up on Deputy Winslow

08:54and kills him with a hammer claw to the back of the head.

08:57Someone needs to make me a nutcracker that looks like this guy's face.

09:00Look at those teeth, man, they could crack open a walnut!

09:03That night, Paul Holt makes plans to lower our body count drastically.

09:07He's taking all the rando counselors into town,

09:09leaving slim pickins behind for the J-Man to kill.

09:12Among his murder options is Terry, the hot girl who's been looking for her hot dog,

09:16and her persistent pursuer Scott who's fond of slingshotting stones into her butt.

09:20Scott's played by Russell Todd, last seen on the Kill Count in Shopping Mall.

09:23He drove a little card into a killer robot after it murdered his wife.

09:27Damn, that movie's great.

09:28Jeff and Sandra are forced to stay behind because of their brush with Johnny Law,

09:32while athletic wheelchair user Mark chooses not to go to the bar because of self-esteem issues

09:37"'Nothing spoils a party faster than a drunk in a wheelchair.'"

09:40"'That's crap.'"

09:41His adorable admirer Vicky says she'll stay behind to keep him company.

09:45These two are one of my favorite couples of the franchise,

09:48especially after Vicky's string of flirtatious innuendo

09:51"'I only want your fingers.'"

09:52"'What do you want to play for?'

09:55"'Position.'"

09:56Vicky's actor Lauren Marie Taylor said she quickly developed a crush on Mark's actor Tom McBride,

10:01but was gently turned down by him when he told her he was gay.

10:04Sadly, McBride died in 1995 due to AIDS-related complications at the age of 42.

10:10Rest in peace.

10:10With the counselors whittled down to a good killing quantity,

10:13Terry goes off by herself to go skinny dipping in the lake.

10:16I swear, these idiot kids make it too easy for Jason sometimes.

10:20Also, I think these horned-up screenwriters drastically overestimate

10:24how often young women go skinny dipping by themselves.

10:27"'I needed the TNA for me, uh, to help with the audience.'"

10:29Terry emerges from the undoubtedly freezing cold water

10:32to find that fuck-faced Scott has taken her clothes,

10:35serves him right when he steps into a snare that hangs him upside down from a tree.

10:39As Terry goes back to camp for a knife to cut him down with,

10:42Scott is killed by a throat slit with the dull side of a machete.

10:45They'll do that a lot throughout this series.

10:47Terry comes back and finds Scott dead,

10:49then turns around and dies screaming into the camera guy's face.

10:52Back at the cabins, Vicky and Mark have finished playing

10:55and are ready to get to WORK, if you know what I mean.

10:57She steps away to change and spray some perfume in her panties.

11:00That's gotta sting!

11:02After she's gone for a bit too long, Mark comes out onto the porch to look for her.

11:05OOOOH!

11:07Oh, and he gets a machete to the face!

11:09The poor guy rolls back and takes a backwards spill down multiple flights of steps

11:13that seem to go on forever.

11:15The kill ends with a wild freeze frame and a zoom in.

11:18Mark's kill was shot from behind to hide the styrofoam mask Tom McBride was wearing,

11:23which they swung a balsa wood machete straight into.

11:26Part 2's makeup effects were done by Carl Fullerton,

11:28who was recommended by Dick Smith after Savini declined to return.

11:32At first, Stan Winston was going to do makeup.

11:34He made the Mrs. Voorhees head Alice found in her fridge.

11:37But a last-minute scheduling conflict took Winston away,

11:40giving Carl Fullerton a mere 6 weeks to design and create makeup effects

11:44that Steve Miner wanted good enough to shoot in close-ups.

11:47He did a great job, and it's a shame the MPAA forced so much of it to be cut.

11:52Back inside, Jeff plays a harmonica in bed.

11:54His music brings all the girls to the stage, and they're like, I'm not legal age!

11:59Yep, Sandra's actor Marta Kober, who we saw 9 years later as a pizza lady

12:03in Slumber Party Massacre 3, was only 17 when she filmed Friday the 13th Part 2.

12:08Apparently this sex scene originally had nudity,

12:11but when Paramount found out, they obviously ordered the footage removed.

12:14Really should've never gotten to that point.

12:16Vicky's actor Lorne Marie Taylor was also 17 when production began,

12:20and says in retrospect her mom probably should've signed something for the scene of her changing.

12:25Jeff and Sandra's nudity wasn't the only thing cut from this scene.

12:28When Jason comes in to kill them, the twofer he gets with a spear is good,

12:32but it was heavily censored by the MPAA and had its most graphic shots removed.

12:36You can tell how much gnarlier it was going to be in production stills.

12:40This kill was shot in a similar way to Kevin Bacon's,

12:43with the actor standing in a hole beneath the bed

12:45so the spear could go through a back made of latex.

12:47Jeff's actor Bill Randolph said it was highly uncomfortable, until a sound guy offered some help

12:52He said, open your mouth, and he blows some powder into my mouth.

12:59And I'm telling you, they could've filmed it 15 times. I was having a great time after that.

13:05Alrighty th- what was this set?!

13:07Of course, this kill is awfully similar to one from A Bay of Blood,

13:12made by Italian filmmaker Mario Bava a decade earlier.

13:15If you're a fan of Friday the 13th, please check out A Bay of Blood, aka Twitch of the Death Nerve.

13:21It's a better shot, more interesting, and bloodier Friday the 13th.

13:25As for if this kill was ripped off, director Steve Miner says he never saw the Bava film.

13:29My guess is it came from money man Phil Scuderi, who came up with a lot of Part 2 sequences and

13:34kills, while leaving Ron Kirst to handle the dialogue and story.

13:38With her pelvis perfumed, Vicky's ready to ravage Mark,

13:41but it's not Mark she finds waiting for her in bed

13:43...

13:45It's Baghead Jason, making his first appearance ever!

13:48Nobody on set thought the pillowcase mask was great,

13:51but they needed to cover up Jason's face and no one could come up with anything better.

13:55The sack was suggested by costume designer Ellen Lutter,

13:58who was inspired by the villain in The Town That Dreaded Sundown.

14:01Lutter also has the distinction of being the only woman to ever play Jason.

14:05She was his legs in the opening shot when he was on his way to murder Alice.

14:09With only one eyehole, that bag's a bitch for depth of field,

14:12which is why things are pretty blurry as Jason stalks towards Vicky with a knife.

14:16When he gets to her, he kills her with a knife stab that lands offscreen.

14:19Ouchie!

14:20Just like Steve Christie before him, Paul Holt's been having a good time in town

14:24while the teenagers he hired get killed.

14:26He's at the Lake Warramong Casino in New Preston, Connecticut,

14:29hanging out with a bunch of extras played by New Preston locals.

14:32Sadly, the building burned down a year or two after Part 2 was filmed.

14:36When the conversation inevitably turns to Jason Voorhees,

14:39Ginny treats the legend seriously.

14:41She figures that if Jason WERE alive, he'd be a grown man,

14:44tormented by the death of the one person in his life who cared.

14:47"...he must have seen his mother get killed, and all just cause she loved him."

14:50Eventually Paul and Ginny leave to head back to camp,

14:53while Ted makes plans to keep the party going, ensuring Jason's work won't be interrupted.

14:58Yep, Ted the goofball is never seen after this, and thus he survives Friday Part 2.

15:03Probably the luckiest guy in the series.

15:05Ginny and Paul get back to a camp that's suspiciously quiet and clean,

15:08since Jason's been taking care of his mess after each kill.

15:11Oh, shit, hold up, J-Man? I think you missed a spot.

15:14The lights go out, casting the place in darkness,

15:16and we get a pretty creepy moment when Ginny realizes they're not alone

15:20"...Paul, there's someone in this room."

15:22"...PAUL THERE'S SOMEONE IN THIS FUCKING ROOM!"

15:24That someone is Baghead Jason, and he wallops the shit out of Paul.

15:27For most of these physical stunt-heavy scenes,

15:30Jason was played by the late Steve Daskowitz, aka Steve Dash.

15:33"...once I put the bag over my head and I ran in the woods,

15:37I couldn't see anything cause the bag flopped back and forth."

15:40Dash was quite the character in real life.

15:42Chelsea and I still joke about things we heard him say at conventions,

15:45but would never repeat in public.

15:47Stunt coordinator Cliff Cudney, who cameos as a tow truck driver,

15:51brought Steve Dash in to play Jason after the original actor quit.

15:54Warrington Gillette had originally auditioned to be Paul Holt,

15:57but was cast as Jason after mentioning he went to quote,

16:00Hollywood Stuntman School.

16:02"...The Hollywood Stuntman School."

16:03"...The Hollywood Stuntman School."

16:05I'm guessing that was mostly a bluff,

16:07since he reportedly had a hard time with the stunts and quit after just two weeks.

16:11The cast seemed to like him, though, maybe because he was also a young, inexperienced actor

16:16"...Warrington Gillette was my Jason Voorhees."

16:19Steve Dash, in contrast, was older and, uh, gruffer.

16:22He kept away from the younger cast, especially Ginny's actor Amy Steele

16:26"...Amy was non-existent. She didn't want to come near me,

16:29she didn't want to know anything about me. I respected that. I stayed away from her as well."

16:33With Paul out of commission, Ginny starts her final girl circuit.

16:36There's a predictable punch-through-the-window scare,

16:39a kick-ass steadicam shot that follows her as she's bolting away,

16:42and your standard dead body discovery.

16:44Ha, crazy Ralph, Ginny didn't even know that guy!

16:47Ginny climbs out a window and slips in a moment that looks like it really hurt actor Amy Steele.

16:52That was a hell of a tough landing on her arm there, man.

16:54"...It seemed like everything was a stunt, and at one point,

16:57the stunt coordinator said, you know, you should get stunt adjustments for all this."

17:01Since Ginny's car's a piece of crap, Jason hangs around outside playing pop-pop murderer,

17:05then he pitches a fit and pitches a fork through her car's roof,

17:09which is a step too far for her to sit back and take it.

17:12Yeah, throw that feral man to the ground, Gin-Gin!

17:14Ginny hides during the chase so she can kick Jason in the nuts,

17:17narrowly avoids him when he leaps out at her from the woods,

17:20and uses a frickin chainsaw against him like she were Terry Funk!

17:23Aw shit, she's got Jason down!

17:25Oh, and now she has a chair? By God, that man has a family!

17:28Er, wait, no. His mom got decapitated. His family's dead.

17:31Ginny ends up finding Jason's shack,

17:33and in another very cool shot we see Jason running towards her from afar through the window.

17:38Hell yes.

17:38In a back room, Ginny finds Jason's biggest accomplishment,

17:41the Helga Pataky-like shrine to his dead mom with her rotting head and dirty blue sweater.

17:46And, you know, some bodies around it.

17:48The Mrs. Voorhees shrine is iconic imagery for the series,

17:51and was an important part of the Friday the 13th video game.

17:54I always have to voice my thanks to that game for Dead Meat's success.

17:57It sparked interest in the Friday franchise right as the first Kill Counts were coming out,

18:02shame the legal battle hurt its development.

18:04Using a little bit of that child psychology she's majoring in,

18:07Ginny dresses up like Jason's mom and makes herself look like her,

18:10hoping that this ruse might allow her to survive this pissed-off pick-axer.

18:14It's a bold strategy, Cotton Ginny, let's see if it pays off!

18:17"... Jason, mother is talking to you!"

18:19It does indeed, with a bit of Betsy Palmer's help

18:22"... Jason, mother is talking to you."

18:25Palmer agreed to reprise the role, as long as it wasn't an inconvenience,

18:28so some crew members went to her house,

18:30set up a black screen, and shot her saying her lines there. God, I love that woman.

18:35The ruse works nearly long enough for Ginny to kill Jason,

18:38but when he sees his mom's severed head, he snaps back to reality,

18:41just in time to fend off her strike with his pickaxe.

18:44The first time they filmed the stunt, using a real machete,

18:47an exhausted and anxious Amy Steele accidentally sent Steve Dash to the hospital

18:52"... She missed the pickaxe, and she came down on my finger."

18:56He went to the ER with a fake machete in his shoulder as a prank,

18:59came back a couple of hours later, and finished the scene with his finger in a bandage.

19:03That's not the only injury Dash suffered on set.

19:06He broke some ribs during a jump when he landed on his pickaxe,

19:09and hurt his wrist stabbing a pitchfork into a wooden door that hadn't been properly gimmicked.

19:13Jason is slashing at Ginny when Paul shows up out of nowhere to save her.

19:17As the boys have a wrestling match, the resourceful Ginny retrieves the machete.

19:20She saves Paul by hacking Jason in the neck, which finally puts the mama's boy down.

19:25Paul carries Ginny back to a cabin,

19:27where a noise at the door lets them know this movie's not quite over,

19:30as just on the other side of it is... Muffin, the pretty princess!

19:34"... Oh, Muffin."

19:36Oh Muffin, such a good girl. Go to Ginny, Muffin!

19:39"... Come here, Muffin."

19:41Oh, nevermind Jason jump scare! Cause if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?

19:44With the Swamp Boy Jason chair jumper so successful,

19:47screenwriter Ron Kearse repeats the beat with an adult Jason,

19:50who kinda looks like a rejected member of the Wyatt family.

19:53This scare must have been filmed early on in production,

19:56since Jason's played by Warrington Gillette swinging in on a pendulum built outside the cabin's window.

20:01The prosthetics on his face and the dentures he wore to deform his mouth

20:04made it difficult for him to see and breathe.

20:07Then, the first time they filmed the stunt,

20:08the window wasn't built right and he bounced off the wood instead of going through it.

20:12By time they got the shot that wound up in the movie, he was PISSED.

20:15"... I was angry and I wanted to kill somebody.

20:18And I'm drooling and snot's coming out of your nose.

20:22I mean, you are just in another world. You're hurting, you're in pain."

20:26Amy Steele also had a bad time filming the scene,

20:28and was miserable about having to reshoot it a bunch.

20:31"... I don't know, it really got me, that scene."

20:34Steele describes a stressful production overall,

20:36due to the constant night shoots and always having to act afraid.

20:39Other actors said they had a great time, though,

20:42and loved camping with the cast and crew to make a movie together.

20:45To me, the set sounds like it was genial but also juvenile,

20:48teetering into being outright negligent at times.

20:51I'm thinking of the underage cast members, the constant injuries,

20:54and that actor who got drugged by a sound guy to finish a scene.

20:57The movie flashes to white and Ginny wakes up on a stretcher screaming for Paul.

21:01Was that last bit just a dream?

21:03Is that why Muffin was there, after presumably dying earlier?

21:06If so, when did the dream start? And did Paul actually die or not?

21:10Answer me, Mrs. Voorheeshead, ANSWER ME!

21:13The movie ends without an answer. Or a wink and a smile,

21:16despite that being part of the original scripted ending.

21:19Good thing they didn't do it. It would've been dumb.

21:21When the second verse is same as the first, do we end up with the same level of carnage?

21:25Let's find out and get to the numbers.

21:28DOOMED. YOU'RE ALL DOOMED.

21:359 people died in Friday the 13th Part 2, assuming Paul Holt got away.

21:39Paul Holt!

21:40The victims included 5 guys and 4 gals, a very nearly even split,

21:44and with a runtime of 87 minutes, that left us with a kill on average every 9.67 minutes.

21:49I'll give the Golden Chainsaw for Coolest Kill to Mark.

21:52Love the suddenness of the machete to the face,

21:54and the tragedy of him falling backwards down that huge flight of stairs.

21:58Also, I think there might be a person in that chair for that stunt? That's so dangerous!

22:02Gold Machete for Lamest Kill will go to Terry, who screamed into the camera and disappeared.

22:07Even later, when we see her body, there aren't any gruesome effects there,

22:11she's just taking a nap next to Mrs. Voorhees's smelly head.

22:14And that's it! Friday the 13th Part 2 came out in 1981,

22:18and though it wasn't as successful as the first, in part due to increased competition

22:22in the slasher subgenre, it did do well enough for Paramount to order a third film.

22:27I'll look at that next week, but until then, I'm James A. Janisse, and this has been the Kill Count.

22:31Thanks a lot for watching this week's Kill Count! I wanna thank some Patrons,

22:34like Big Bad Cat Dad, Nicolás Verdines, Dolan Krala, Wild Smith,

22:39and Todd McDonald, aka Karl Brutananalewski.

22:42Speaking of Steve Dash, this is a challenge coin that I got from him

22:45when I met him at a convention a few years ago. I really like the design of the front,

22:49and then the back is his, uh, police department that he was part of.

22:52That's what he did after being a stuntman, I think?

22:54I don't know the status at the time of filming this,

22:57but I hope the Fear Street Kill Counts are out and doing good.

23:00Thanks everyone, be good people.
