The Halloween season has finally come upon us, and while this year's Halloween celebrations may be a bit more socially distanced than most, that won't stop us from dealing with a deadly threat that's been in our country longer than COVID has--Jason Voorhees, whose murder spree began 40 years ago with FRIDAY THE 13th (technically 39 years ago with PART 2, but whatevs), and which almost came to an end 31 years ago with the eighth installment in 1989--JASON TAKES MANHATTAN!
With Paramount Pictures concerned about the underwhelming box office for PART VII: THE NEW BLOOD, they decided that Jason's next adventure would take the mute masked mongoloid from the rustic woods of Camp Crystal Lake to the bright lights of the big city known as New York. But before you get too excited by the prospect of Jason slicing his machete through Times Square, you should know that Paramount wasn't willing to spend the money that was needed to actually have most of the film take place in New York City, with Jason instead boarding a cruise ship containing a graduating high school class that's on their way to a senior trip in the Big Apple, and only the film's final 30 minutes actually taking place in New York--well, Vancouver passing for New York, to be specific, but still! And with the studio unwilling to give this FRIDAY a bigger budget to help Jason actually take Manhattan, the film ended up with the lowest box office gross of the franchise to date, and Paramount washed their hands of the series by selling it off to New Line Cinema.
