Fear Flashbacks! – FRIDAY THE 13th PART VI: JASON LIVES debuts in theaters

Here at UBHB, we’re gearing up for tomorrow’s entry spotlighting the first vinyl soundtrack release from the FRIDAY THE 13th series. In the meantime, dig this original advert I saved from the summer of 1986 when JASON LIVES stormed theaters. It wasn’t a huge blockbuster for Paramount–if I’m not mistaken, it was the first film in the series to not hit the top spot at the box office–but it’s garnered a surprising amount of critical praise, both then and now. Writer/director Tom McLoughlin injects a lot of meta fun into the usual slashings, ultimately winning over a big chunk of fans who still list the sequel as one of the very best Jason films.
