this is the first of three friday the 13th's this year! and we're pulling out a couple of bangers that FX magician Tom Savini worked on, and both that were released into the world in 1980, at the start of the slasher boom.
7:00PM - FRIDAY THE 13TH (1980)
dir. Sean Cunningham
runtime: 1h 36m
rated R
a film that needs little to no introduction. the one that launched the summer camp slasher subgenre as we know it, and solidified the slasher rules for years (and hundreds of films) that followed. "K*ll her, mommy!"
8:45PM - MANIAC (1980)
dir. William Lustig
runtime: 1h 27m
rated R
oh boy. this film. holy shit. a deranged momma's boy serial killer played by Joe Spinell (who also wrote the screenplay) wanders the sordid 80s manhattan streets looking for women to scalp. Spinell's performance is incomparable. you'll feel like you're watching something you shouldn't be. "i warned you not to go out tonight."
