HMM '13: Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan

 It's October!  The doorway to not only the start of the greatest food season (early October to Christmas), but also to sexy nurses, zombies, and grown men dressing up like ponies.  That also means it is time once again for Halloween Movie Madness!  This year, I'll be taking a look back at the movies of my youth.  Every movie this year was released before I turned eighteen.  These are the Halloween movies that shaped me into the man I am today.  Some of them are scary.  Some are funny.  Some are fantastical.  Some are just weird.  And not all of them are good.  But to me, they are all Halloween movies.  Now, stand back, for your own safety! 

Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan
1989

Much like A Nightmare on Elm Street 3, the reason I am doing this movie in the series is because it is the first one that I saw.  It didn't quite get me as hooked into the series like NoES did, but it still made me want to watch the previous movies. And of course, I have since watched them all (like with the NoES series, I have ignored the recent remake), and it is another series that I greatly enjoy.  And while Part 8 here is far from the best movie in the series, it will always hold a special place in my heart.  Or maybe it will find a special place to keep my heart after dismembering me.
