Why I'm... I'm Mrs. Voorhees, an old friend of the Christy's.


I started watching the Friday the 13th series of films recently. I won't go into whether they're 'classics' or just trash, i'll leave that up to you. What I will say is that the main poster image from the first film has always stayed on my mind. I think it's a perfect example of how the artwork carries the message of the film. Ok, in this case it's "KILL THE KIDS", but I love how, when I was a kid and saw the poster art, it created this sense of dread.. I wondered, should I even WANDER into the theater? It was a bold move for a kid -- AGE 9! But it gave me the balls to walk into others future 'classics'. This poster, an original, is in mint condition, albeit, folded, like many of its time along with the nss number. A keeper! I need to find my Final Chapter advance..
