Episode description

We didn't expect to be heading back to Crystal Lake so soon, but we took a look at the calendar and couldn't resist. Plus, watching Part 2 in such close proximity to the original wound up being really beneficial when it came to comparing and contrasting them.

The evolution of the Friday the 13th series is a fascinating one and although this represents an important step in its development, this entry still stands apart from subsequent sequels in several key ways.

Topics include: the original creative team's desire to turn this into an anthology series, why Paramount was more interested in a direct sequel, all the questions raised by Jason's return, the more human approach to his character vs the mindless zombie he'd eventually become, why Ginny is probably the best final girl in the franchise, the awkward prologue, the even more baffling ending, how Chris learned to let go of the hockey mask and embrace sack head Jason, and much more!
