Late Nite Grindhouse Presents “Friday the 13th Part 2” This Weekend at Marcus Des Peres
We are continuing our Late Nite Grindhouse program at Marcus Des Peres this weekend with Friday the 13th Part 2! Unlike the other theaters that are showing you a Jason-less Friday the 13th film, we’ll show you the one that really started the franchise.
The second entry in the long-running horror series focuses on a group of teenage would-be counselors converging on Camp Crystal Lake for training under the tutelage of head counselor Paul (John Furey). Inevitably, Paul relates the story of Jason Voorhees (Warrington Gillette), a boy who ostensibly drowned at the camp and whose mother murdered a group of counselors in revenge. No one takes the tale seriously until a very much alive Jason begins gruesomely eliminating people.
