This provided no end of amusement, unless you were him.<BR/><BR/>The only Friday the 13th movie I've ever even remotely liked was one of the far-later ones and one of the least popular, Jason Goes to Hell, which is self-conscious parody done with remarkable intelligence (which is, presumably, why it's one of the least popular). I particularly like the opening bit, where a Jason-hunting hot-chick agent takes a shower in order to tempt him to attack, so she can then run through the woods wearing a magic stay-on towel in order to lure him into a high-powered artillery ambush.<BR/><BR/>That and the couple selling "Voorhees burgers and Jason fingers" complete with the 2 for 1 special ("I LOVE YOU POOKY!"), and of course, Erin Gray, who otherwise had no career by then (snif).<BR/><BR/>I'm not ashamed to admit I once based a characteron Creighton Duke, even though I'm not sure I want to understand that line aboug the donut.S.

Michael Myers is the nigh-unkillable antagonist from <I>Halloween</I>. Not a huge difference, I know, but crucial to us slasher buffs.<BR/><BR/>peace...
