So, You Like Horror? #44- Friday the 13th

Welcome back, folks. This week, I'm joined by Echo Latrice as we sit and talk about the Friday the 13th franchise on this very superstitious day.
Friday the 13th is a horror franchise that comprises twelve films, a television series, novels, comic books, and video games. The franchise mainly focuses on Jason Voorhees, who was thought to have drowned as a boy at Camp Crystal Lake due to the negligence of the camp staff. Decades later, the lake is rumored to be "cursed" and is the setting for a series of murders. Jason is featured in all of the films, as either the killer or the motivation for the killings.
