Penny Stinkers Episode 22: Friday The 13th Franchise Parts VII - Friday The 13th Reboot
Welcome back as Hank and John return to Crystal Lake with their guest Chase Harrison in tow. The Hockey Masked undead serial killer, Jason Voorhees, has had quite a great start with the first part of this series, but now the films discussed in this second part will be of a more questionable taste. From telekinetic teens to Times Square, from possession swapping to the infinite void of space, and from a battle between two icons to reintroducing a horror legend, these movies are a far cry from what we've seen in the past for Jason, but is there some merit to be found? Find out in today's episode of Penny Stinkers. Happy Halloween!
