We are celebrating our first Friday the 13th by discussing the 1980 slasher classic of the same name–because what kind of horror podcast would we be if we did not talk about this iconic franchise!

In today’s episode, we talk about the film's highs and lows, the birth of many of the horror tropes we love to make fun of today, the pristine summer camp vibes, and, of course, the outstanding practical effects.

And stick around for the paranormal segment of the podcast, as Ashley shares the true crime and haunted lore surrounding the Old Narrow Gauge Trail in Randolph, Maine.
