Today is a significant day for fans of Friday the 13th Part II.  Today is the birthday of both Warrington Gillette and Tom McBride.  Gillette was one of two actors to play Jason Voorhees in that film (he plays Jason without the mask while stuntman Steve Daskewisz played Jason whenever he was wearing a mask) and he is 65 years old today.  Tom McBride, who passed away in 1995, played Mark, whose death was one of the films most shocking moments.  Today, he would have been 72 years old.

Today’s scene that I love comes from Friday the 13th Part II, which I think is a genuinely underrated horror film.  Whenever I see this scene, I roll my eyes at Vicki (Lauren-Marie Taylor) running outside in her underwear just to look for something in her car but then I remember all of the times that I’ve done the exact same thing and I realize that I probably wouldn’t survive a horror film.
