BB 5/13/16

Good morning Phoenix, and TGIF! It’s also Friday the 13th….. for many, it’s a day filled with superstitions and fears. For us warriors, it’s a time to get together if we’re not on patrol, watch the movie Friday the 13th, and make fun of it, so I thought I’d do an extra movie trivia day in its honor.

Plot:
One summer at (Band Camp) Camp Crystal Lake, a group of young counselors begin to get ready to lead campers. Unfortunately for the former, someone isn't happy about what's going on in the camp and enjoys playing kill the counselor. As bodies fall to the ground in the camp, no one is safe. 

Trivia:
• Betsy Palmer said that if it were not for the fact that she was in desperate need of a new car, she would never have taken the part of Pamela Voorhees. In fact, after she read the script she called the film "a piece of shit".
• Sally Field auditioned for the role of Alice Hardy.
• There is a township named Voorhees, New Jersey, which is about eight miles away from Haddonfield, New Jersey, which was inspiration for the fictional town where the movie Halloween (1978) took place. The documentary Halloween: 25 Years of Terror (2006) shows a picture of a road sign that lists Voorhees right under Haddonfield. The township was named for Foster McGowan Voorhees, the governor of New Jersey from 1899 to 1902. The surname "Voorhees" is of Dutch heritage, and is also a common family in New Jersey.
• Years before the film was even conceived, Betsy Palmer ironically spent her summers growing up on Crystal Lake in Warsaw, Indiana.
• Harry Crosby, who played Bill in Friday the 13th, was the son of Bing Crosby.
• The movie was mostly filmed at Camp No-Be-Bos-Co in Blairstown, New Jersey, a Boy Scouts Camp. They were only allowed to use the camp after making a sizable donation to Boy Scouts of America. Most of the crew and several cast members also lived in the camp's cabins while filming the movie.

Goofs:
• While film takes place on June 13, 1958 and June 13, 1979, and it is stated that both these dates fall on a Friday if you do a web search it will show June 13, 1958 did fall on a Friday but June 13, 1979 was in fact a Wednesday.
• Boom mic visible - (at around 8 mins) Reflected in the window just below the reversed Coke sign when Annie enters the coffee shop.
• (at around 30 mins) Ned is eating a hamburger when he runs to Alice's aid, but the hamburgers aren't cooked until the next scene.
• (at around 1h 9 mins) When Alice is alone making coffee, on a table behind her is a mixer and a basket of eggs. When Alice returns (at around 1h 13 mins) the basket and the mixer have switched places.
• (at around 18 mins) When the jeep driver pulls over to pick up Annie, a man's arm is reflected in the front shield.
• At the end, right before Jason leaps out of the water at Alice, you can see what appears to be a breathing tube pop out above the back of the boat before you see Jason's head.

Have a fangtastic day, and don't be superstitious! <3  Brock V"""V
