The Last Lines - Friday the 13th Edition

  As Fall gets closer and closer, I feel myself slipping into Halloween mode. When I walk through the grocery stores I feel my eyes drifting towards the aisles and aisles of Halloween candy. Now, instead of wanting a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, I want a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup shaped like a pumpkin. My appetite isn't the only thing undergoing changes. Suddenly, my apartment doesn't look right unless I have Halloween Garland and little goofy figurines of monsters everywhere.

  I'll just say it. Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year. So, when I heard some friends discussing how cheesy the last line in some horror film was, it got me to thinking about the last lines in other movies. I checked a few movies out and what I found is some movies have awesome heart pumping last lines and others make you go, "Really? You really just said that?".

  I've decided that during this wonderful season of leaves changing colors and cool nights, now and then I will bring you the last lines to some famous and a few not so famous horror films. And I figured there could be no better films to start with than those that make up the Friday the 13th franchise.

  The first Friday the 13th movie (Yep, there's more than one.) was released in 1980. The series centers on Jason Voorhees, who 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 becomes the setting for a series of mass murders. A neat little fact, Jason didn't show up until the second movie. His mom did all the killing in the first one. Oh... um... spoilers.

  The thing I like about the Friday the 13th movies is that the franchise is a perfect example of how last lines can run the gamete between super cheesy and to butt kicking awesome. You can decide which are which.
