Show Notes

You’re doomed! You’re all doomed! This week, Peaches and Michael take a trip to camp as they celebrate the ongoing legacy of the 1980 horror classic FRIDAY THE 13th and its many beloved sequels. In addition to discussing the film’s undeniable impact on pop culture, our hosts delve into our obsession with final girls, the grand guignol of Betsy Palmer, and why there’s value in slasher movies. Joining the conversation is genre legend and the star of the original FRIDAY THE 13th herself, Adrienne King, who shares her insight on four decades of fandom and a powerful, personal story about finding light in the darkness. Then, Grady Hendrix, bestselling author of THE FINAL GIRL SUPPORT GROUP, stops by to discuss how his work was undeniably influenced by the F13 franchise and why final girls are, in many ways, part of our modern mythology. Grab your camp counselor badges, hop in the canoe, and let’s GO!
