CRYSTAL LAKE Episode 7 feels like what Ryan Murphy would do if he was told to make a Friday the 13th prequel. I don't mean that as a compliment. The modern need to explain things that were best left unexplained can lead to baffling decisions. Jason's new backstory is one of 'em!

Yet Crystal Lake's "bold new vision" has the same problem - why didn't Jason just come home?
I th ink everyone need to watch this now

I don’t agree with this at all. Turning Jason Voorhees into a misunderstood, sensitive kid having emotional bonding arcs is the same sanitizing mistake modern horror keeps repeating.
Jason worked because he was a relentless, unstoppable force of nature; an urban legend born of neglect and revenge, not a tragic CW drama protagonist needing a trauma case study to justify his body count. Giving him talking scenes and a heartfelt childhood friendship arc strips away the inescapable, elemental dread that made Friday the 13th iconic in the first place. Not every slasher needs a sob story; some nightmares are far better left raw, silent, and brutal. #CrystalLake
Jason Voorhees is way more tragic when you remember he was once just a kid trying to fit in.
Crystal Lake gives me Rob Zombie’s Halloween vibes, showing us the child behind the future killer. But seeing Jason talk, connect with people and experience life before becoming the hockey-mask-wearing legend makes his story hit differently.
Did Crystal Lake just make Jason one of the most tragic figures in slasher horror?
4 episodes in and ive got a lot of issues with the series to this point. The whole Lil Jason thing is so odd. The backstreet. The life coach retreat. Enjoying the acting and the story for what it is but I dont think it's working for me so far
One small but important detail to add- Carpenter wanted to move on. He agreed to a deal with Avco Embassy to direct The Fog. Irwin Yablans claimed an agreement existed with Compass/Trancass. To settle the lawsuit Carpenter agreed to come back for #Halloween 2
Halloween II (1981) 🎃
John Carpenter and Debra Hill initially believed the first film was a complete standalone story and had no interest in expanding it.
John Carpenter also felt he hadn't been fairly compensated for the first film's profits.
To make up for the owed pay, he agreed to write and produce the sequel for a larger salary and back-end percentage, but he steadfastly refused to direct.
After original collaborator Tommy Lee Wallace turned it down, Carpenter handed the directing reins to his film school friend, Rick Rosenthal.
Carpenter has openly admitted that he suffered from severe writer's block while drafting the sequel. He felt there was no more story left to tell.
Desperate for a narrative hook, he took inspiration from Star Wars and invented the sibling twist, revealing that the protagonist Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) was actually the younger sister of the killer, Michael Myers.
Director Rick Rosenthal shot the film with a focus on suspense, pacing, and atmosphere, closely mirroring the style of the original.
The Samhain narrative provides a "why" for Michael’s immortality and his specific obsession with Halloween night: by scrawling the word in blood, Michael is depicted as having a primitive, subconscious connection to these ancient rites.
It suggests that his killing spree is not just a mental health crisis but a ritualistic sacrifice.
The Samhain theme works alongside the "Laurie is his sister" twist. It frames the hunt for his family as a necessary component of an ancient blood ritual rather than random violence.
The hospital chase sequence is considered one of the most intense in the franchise.
The empty, dimly lit hospital feels much more "cold" and "mechanical" than the cozy houses of the first film, heightening the slasher-film intensity.
Though it initially received mixed reviews for its heightened gore, it has since become a highly regarded cult favorite among horror fans.

Still one of my favorite shots in a horror movie. The use of silhouettes against the orange sky is just so beautiful.

'CRYSTAL LAKE' showrunner Brad Caleb Kane has officially shut down one wild Jason theory:
“It’s not the CIA. He’s not a gov’t super soldier or an Eleven.”
