Chapters
In 1980, Producer/Director Sean S. Cunningham set out to ripoff Halloween. What he and writer Victor Miller created ended up being much more than a ripoff. That first Friday the 13th film spawned a juggernaut of a film series that has spanned over 45 years.
Gina goes into the history of this film, the subsequent franchise, and the enduring tropes of horror films that remain relevant today.
