From this day forth, in my darkest hours, when my fellow man has abandoned me, icy rain pelts my body and swarms of locusts eat my house… …I will play that video of Lousie Robey singing “One Night in Bangkok” and I will laugh and laugh and laugh. ---

I loved the show when it first aired, but when it was on sci-fi a few years ago, I realized how bad it was. ---

Alright, somebody e-mail a pic of **HillBilly Queen** so I can print it out and pin it to my scarecrow. In all seriousness, I realised even back then that it sucked. ---

Actually, it does fit the criteria given in the show-I can’t burn it, tear it, cut it, or otherwise damage it. I’ve considering pinning on the picture of somebody I want dead. But, besides the moral questions, John Edward has never really come within what I would consider effective scarecrow range. ---

> [@DocCathode](#): > > I was happy with any episode that delivered an artifact more complicated than ‘You kill somebody, then the object does its thing.’ Was this show really that bad? I recall watching it quite often and that seems par for the course. Wow, was that bad. Than again, I loved the first couple seasons of Forever Knight… ---

I loved this show. My favorite episode is the one with the old movie. An aging B-movie actress who had one big hit movie decades before had a copy of her 1930’s movie, which she watched over and over again. A man was somehow able to trap attractive young women in the movie, with the women then having to play out the rest of the movie until she gets shot and killed in a gunfight at the end. The problem is that they had a great premise, but the nearly the only thing they had the antiques do is kill. For example, the healing glove episode. A faith healer has a glove that can heal any injury or illness. He then has a short period of time to pass the disease, greatly amplified to a new victim, or he keeps it himself. Good concept so far. The problem was that the person who recieved the disease/injury would die in a minute or so. It would have been so much more effective to have the new victims live with their new, horrific afflictions, lingering in agony for months or years of despair, until they killed themselves to end the pain. _That_ would be a truly evil curse, and would be much more likely to gain Satan some new souls. Murdering innocents would likely send God the souls that Satan wanted. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-remembers-friday-the-thirteenth-tv-show/252131.md?page=1)
