You know how they always say it goes back to the original? Here’s the original.

And I've gotta make sure we don't get sIiced up by some lunatic who saw Friday the 13th and thought, "You know what? That Jason guy, he's got some pretty solid ideas."

Please, it’s not my fault! I’m just a dumb kid.

I say, accept who you are. Let’s get out there, find out who’s doing this, and cut some fucking throats!

To some people, the original is their favorite thing in the world. The movie that made them love horror, that Mom or Dad showed them when they were ten that bonded them together, and God help anyone who slightly fucks with that special memory, who makes a movie they think disrespects it. It sounds like our killer is writing his own version of Stab 8, but doing it as a requel. See, you can’t just reboot a franchise from scratch anymore. The fans won’t stand for it. Black Christmas, Child’s Play, Flatliners… that shit doesn’t work. But you can’t just do a straight sequel, either. You got to build something new. But not too new, or the Internet goes bug-fucking nuts. It has to be part of an ongoing story line, even if the story shouldn’t have been ongoing in the first place. New main characters, yes, but supported by and related to legacy characters. Not quite a reboot, not quite a sequel. Like the new Halloween, Saw, Terminator, Jurassic Park, Ghostbusters… fuck, even Star Wars! It always, always goes back to the original!

The daughter of Billy Loomis who sees fucked-up visions of her dead dad. Sidney Prescott killed your father. You did all this just to get her back to Woodsboro.
