The first time we ever saw the character Jason on film was…surprising.  
[/QUOTE]  
Yeah, little bit. I was, what, maybe twelve? I was staying with some family friends while my parents were away for a few days…I was having a blast, because they actually had HBO! You could watch movies! And sometimes there were boobs!

Anyway, it was around 10 at night, and _Friday The 13th_ was coming on. Man…an actual grown-up horror flick…not like those ones they show on _The 4:30 Movie_…one with blood and guts and everything! The kids of this family had an “Oh, _this_ movie again?” attitude, and went to bed. But not me, no way, I was staying on that couch until the very end.

And what a sweet ending…Mrs. Voorhees was dead, and Alice was safe and sound floating in the middle of the lake, and _OHSWEETMOTHEROFFUCKWHATTHEFUCKISTHAT?!?!?!?_

As I recall, the family was none-to-pleased with my midnight shrieking.
