Presented by Halloweenies: A Horror Franchise Podcast | Sequel Sundays Feature | A Part of Music Box of Horrors at the Drive-In Presents: 31 Days of Terror
***Uncut Version***
After a decade-long run, countless dead teenagers, and a night boat to Manhattan, by the dawn of the ‘90s, the Friday The 13th franchise had run out of steam. Enter New Line Cinema, original director Sean S. Cunningham, and newcomer Adam Marcus to put an imaginative spin on Jason Voorhees lore and the played-out slasher formula. Jason Goes To Hell features a wild body-jumping concept (admittedly cribbed from The Hidden), inventive gore effects from the KNB team, and one of the most memorable surprising endings in horror cinema.
Music Box Theatre screens films of all genres and from every era of cinema, both new releases and repertory. These films may sometimes contain upsetting, outdated, or offensive material. While we aim to introduce many of our screenings, we do not always provide warnings about potentially triggering content within the films we screen. We encourage our patrons to research the film before they attend using trailers, reviews, or content information found on Common Sense Media, IMDb and DoesTheDogDie.com.
