Top 10 Best Worst Horror Moms #1

In honor of Mother's Day we are going to take the next few weeks to countdown the Top 10 Horror Mom's and mention why we love them. Horror Mom's are the most notorious and supportive Mom's there ever were and here is why...

1. Betsy Palmer as Pamela Voorhees: Friday the 13th (1980)

I know we don't have to explain why we would say that Jason's mom is the number one best worst mother of horror. Once we get past the fact that Friday the 13th brought us several of the most important elements of slasher horror, Jason has a face that only a mother can love. Pamela Voorhees is the quintessential mother that not only loves her son to death, she will kill to prove it. If that's not enough she'll continue to influence Jason even after death. Death, disfiguration, and murder would never keep her from her son.

Happy Friday the 13th from the Creepercast!

my top 12.... 'Friday the 13th' films - The Recap!

Well there you have it! You safely navigated your way through Crystal Lake and came out alive. Jason Voorhees will always remain as one of my favorite horror icons. I'm not sure what it is about him? Whether it's the hockey mask, the fact that he's undead or just that he has a real stick to it-ness that keeps me coming back. Either way, I hope you enjoyed your trip back down memory lane. Do you agree with me? What say you Creeps?

my top 12.... 'Friday the 13th' films - number 1

With the upcoming release of the new 'Friday the 13th: The Game', on Xbox One, it's had me thinking a lot about one of my favorite franchises. Granted, it's a bit of a guilty pleasure, Jason has always held a soft spot in my heart among the horror icons. With a new film seemingly in development hell, there is a bright spot with the fan made 'Never Hike Alone', currently in production. However, there's 12 other feature films that have been released since 1980 and I thought it might be fun to rank them, according to which ones I consider to be the best. So here we go, my personal top 12 'Friday the 13th' movies....

Number 1) Friday the 13th Part III

This one will always be my go to movie, in the series. It's the perfect mix of all the things that make 'Friday the 13th' such a great franchise. It's fun, it has great kills, the campers are very full of life (all puns intended) and it just stinks of the 80's. Sadly, I've never actually seen it in 3D, but once again the producers chose to cash in on a popular trend of the time. Let it never be said that 'Friday the 13th' wasn't a trendsetter. I love this movie, in all it's cheesy glory and that's why it will always be my number 1 choice of the 12 films made, to date. 4 out of 5 stars.

my top 12.... 'Friday the 13th' films - number 2

With the upcoming release of the new 'Friday the 13th: The Game', on Xbox One, it's had me thinking a lot about one of my favorite franchises. Granted, it's a bit of a guilty pleasure, Jason has always held a soft spot in my heart among the horror icons.

So here we go, my personal top 12 'Friday the 13th' movies....

Number 2) Friday the 13th (1980)

This one might cause a bit of controversy, as it's the original in the franchise and not in my number 1 spot. However, I'm ranking them on my personal feelings and re-watchability. This one is by far the most pure in it's form, but with the killer being Jason's mother and not himself, makes it a different animal. Also, something about it just doesn't stick with me, in the same way as all the others. With that being said, I still have to give credit where credit is due. This one started it all and is a solid piece of slasher history. 4 out of 5 stars.

my top 12.... 'Friday the 13th' films - number 3

With the upcoming release of the new 'Friday the 13th: The Game', on Xbox One, it's had me thinking a lot about one of my favorite franchises.

So here we go, my personal top 12 'Friday the 13th' movies....

Number 3) Freddy vs Jason

Another trend that happened, as a way to boost a dying franchise, pit two icons against each other. This was the first of many to come and one of them that did it the best. (in my opinion) The studios had been teasing this idea, since a throwaway shot happened in 'Jason Goes to Hell'. Freddy's glove pulled Jason's mask down into hell, in the very last shot of the movie. While Ronny Yu's film may have not pleased everyone, it certainly had me in full fan boy mode. I loved this one and still enjoy watching it, to this day. 4 out of 5 stars.

my top 12.... 'Friday the 13th' films - number 4

So here we go, my personal top 12 'Friday the 13th' movies....

Number 4) Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter

One of my personal favorites, for many reasons. Corey Feldman, Tom Savani and the amazing Crispin Glover. This film really has all the earmarks of a classic 80's slasher film. Great special effects, fun characters, pretty sweet kills and Jason in full effect. Nothing more to say about this one, other than you should see it, at some point. 4 out of 5 stars.

my top 12.... 'Friday the 13th' films - number 5

With the upcoming release of the new 'Friday the 13th: The Game', on Xbox One, it's had me thinking a lot about one of my favorite franchises.

So here we go, my personal top 12 'Friday the 13th' movies....

Number 5) Friday the 13th part VI: Jason Lives

With the massive let down of the 'Scooby Doo' ending of part 5, producers were keen on bringing back the original madman in a mask. So, we resurrect Jason from the dead and have him get back to work, offing the local campers. A much more 'fun' entry in the series, part 6 holds a soft spot in a lot of peoples hearts. A worthy contender in my top 12 list and a 3 1/2 out of 5 star entry.

my top 12.... 'Friday the 13th' films - number 6

So here we go, my personal top 12 'Friday the 13th' movies....

Number 6) Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood

Again, with the same ground being covered over and over, what do you do to keep things fresh? Bring in another character that can match Jason, one for one. In this installment, Jason has met his match, in the form of a girl with telekinesis. They battle it out and things get messy. A fun time in the forest and a 3 out of 5 star film.

On this day in horror history.... May 9th, 1980

On this day in horror history.... The world became afraid of camping in the woods, along with having unprotected sex, as 'Friday the 13th' (1980) is released theatrically. The brainchild of Sean S. Cunningham, this took what Hitchcock did with 'Psycho' and transplanted it into a summer camp setting. Spawning sequels and a remake, along with so much more.... Jason Voorhees is truly the killer that will never die. However, this is where it all began, with his mother and a desire for revenge.

my top 12.... 'Friday the 13th' films - number 7

With the upcoming release of the new 'Friday the 13th: The Game', on Xbox One, it's had me thinking a lot about one of my favorite franchises. Granted, it's a bit of a guilty pleasure, Jason has always held a soft spot in my heart among the horror icons.

So here we go, my personal top 12 'Friday the 13th' movies....

Number 7) Friday the 13th: A New Beginning

If you've just killed off your main character.... for good, then what do you do next? You want to keep the franchise going, right? So, the old 'bait and switch' tactic. Most fans of the series, weren't too happy when they realized they'd been duped in part 5. However, it's still a decent part of the series and has a lot going for it. Decent kills and some fairly likable lead characters. 3 out of 5 stars.

On this day in horror history.... May 2nd, 1965

On this day in horror history.... the very first Jason to grace the silver screen in 'Friday the 13th', Ari Lehman, is born. A talented musician and actor, Ari has continually worked since he was a child. People may remember the original film for the murderous mother, Pamela Voorhees, but the most memorable scare belonged to Ari.

my top 12.... 'Friday the 13th' films - number 8

So here we go, my personal top 12 'Friday the 13th' movies....

Number 8) Friday the 13th part II

Hot off the heels of the original, the studio wanted a sequel. Still a fairly new concept, they did their best to continue the story, but this time.... with Jason in the lead. This film works pretty well, over all, but killing off your most popular character in the first 10 minutes was not the best idea in the world. A solid entry into the franchise and one that still holds up pretty well. 3 out of 5 stars.

my top 12.... 'Friday the 13th' films - number 9

With the upcoming release of the new 'Friday the 13th: The Game', on Xbox One, it's had me thinking a lot about one of my favorite franchises.

So here we go, my personal top 12 'Friday the 13th' movies....

Number 9) Friday the 13th part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

Another trick, used in the horror genre, when you've kind of run out of ideas. Take your main character and put them into a new environment. In this case, New York. While the concept works pretty well, when Jason is ACTUALLY in New York, the other 80% of the movie is spent on a boat. I get that it's hard to make a lower budget horror film in a big city, but think that through before committing to the idea. 3 out of 5 stars.

my top 12.... 'Friday the 13th' films - number 10

So here we go, my personal top 12 'Friday the 13th' movies....

Number 10) Friday the 13th (2009)

The idea of remaking a classic horror film, isn't anything new. The biggest thing that seems to get missed with that idea, is to keep the character true to its roots. In this Michael Bay produced outing, they did keep Jason fairly pure. Overall, a decent slasher film, for the time it was made. It just doesn't seem to have the same heart and soul as the original though. I actually enjoyed this one, but it's not one that I watch with any regularity. 3 out of 5 stars and kudos to Derek Mears for giving it a good try.

So here we go, my personal top 12 'Friday the 13th' movies....

Number 11) Jason X

There was a brief period in horror, where when a franchise had lost steam, the best idea anyone could come up with was.... "Put them in space!" So, we ended up with a few horror icons being launched into orbit and in this case, it was Jason. Not the worst of the series and one that I actually saw in the theaters. While it was kind of a fun take on the character, it was still 2 out of 5 stars, at best. Re-watchable, but not the first one to put into the DVD/Blu-ray player.

Number 12) Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday

When it comes to sequels, this one takes the cake. It takes an already established character and throws a whole lot of new backstory into the mix, that just doesn't work. Jason looks awful (for the short amount of time he's on the screen) and there's very little to enjoy about this entry into the franchise. I would go so far as to say, that it's hard to even watch. 2 out of 5 stars.

my top 13 "Final Girls".... #5

What's a 'Final Girl' you might ask? She's the last woman standing at the end of a horror film. Usually the one who defeats the killer. In this list, I'll give you my top 13 'Final Girls' in horror of all time. Without furtur ado....

#5: Alice Hardy from 'Friday the 13th' played by Adrienne King
Betsy Palmer singled out the counslers of Crystal Lake for her revenge, but didn't expect Alice to make her lose her head. She, sadly, didn't make it past part 2.... but she'll always be remembered fondly.
