Quist vs Freddy vs Jason

  Day 62 December 31st 2023 If Jason is afraid of water, why was he able to walk to Elm Street in the rain? How is he able to survive in the woods when it rains? Does he dig a hole and live there until the rain stops? How come nobody noticed this zombie-like human walking in the rain? The movie never touches on this or if he killed on his way to Elm Street, let alone if his body was just chilling buried in the woods in the real Crystal Lake or possibly somewhere closer to Springwood? Why did Jason go into the lake after Tommy Jarvis on Friday the 13th, Part 6? Jason Lives  if he is afraid of water. If Jason is afraid of water, why does he choose to live by a lake? Logically, he would stay far away from the lake. The rain is just like toxic waste and would have reverted Jason to child form per what was established in a previous film and the end of the beginning of the second part of Jason's Dream sequence. Does that only happen in the dream world and not reality? If it does occur in

  Day 61 December 30th, 2023 Note to self… Ween yourself off the 2x watches. Tonight I went into the viewing watching as is, and my god, it felt so long and so damn painful. If I have learned anything from the project, I have to prolong viewings to the point that I need to get the viewing in when my mind is simply turned off for the day. I know it is a movie, but the decisions they make are so mind-numbing to me that it makes me question if there are people who exist in the world who act like they do in the film. I am not surprised if there are people who behave like that, emotionless and simply stupid with their decision-making skills or lack thereof. I am not one to judge, but the writers of the film seem out of touch with how people are. I may be out of touch with the human race, and that is exactly how people act. I wish someone would write a horror movie where people think logically instead of being stupid and emotionless. Poor decisions are the underlying theme of every horror fi

  Day 60 December 29th, 2023 I am surprised that I have managed to get this far in doing this. I did another 2X watch, and to be honest, I never expected to enjoy the film like I do watching it this way. I don't have much time in the day to get a sit-down and enjoy at the average speed, and I did not want to lie about watching the film because that is not in good faith and is the easiest way to say that I watched the film. Things should be slowing down within the first few days of the new year, so I will have to ween myself off the faster views of the film… I guess… Nothing new is going on with the film viewings. I just watch, laugh, and repeat the next day. I have noticed that I am starting to quote the movie out loud, which causes some to think that I am talking to myself.  I still do not believe I was approved for my medicine; when I was told about it, I was happy but skeptical about it. I still am; I guess I need to see in writing that I was approved because anyone can say anyt

 December 28th, 2023 Day 59 Another busy day. I did get approved for my new MS medicine, so I am happy as hell. Outside of that I decided I’ll blog about my new medicine once things slow down.  Fun facts have returned Trey dies 13 minutes into the film.

 December 27, 2023 Day 58 The watch happened, and that’s all I have for today. Mentally defeated!

 December 26th 2023 Day 57 Fifty-seven days into this, and the holiday crap is making it hard to even enjoy a sped-up version of the film, which I’ve enjoyed more. I believe the unintended comedy is what is keeping me going!

  Day 56 December 25th 2023 It was a busy day at work, and I used the 2x watch to get through this watch. Freddy’s laugh is comical sped up.

 Day 55 December 24th, 2023 Another 2X watching, and it was well worth my time. I got the viewing in while covering a break at work, and the second go around on this way of watching was more accessible than the first one. I found it more comedic and enjoyable. Given the day, I do not have much else to say. Busy, busy, busy.

  Day 54 December 23rd, 2023 The 2x Challenge Well, tonight’s showing was interesting, to say the least. I honestly thought that speeding up the movie would have made it hard to understand, but it didn’t. Everything was sped up as expected, making the film an unintentional comedy.  While it was easier to watch, it became boring and stale really quickly, and I lost my interest. I do not know if it was because I was winding down my day and realized I hadn’t watched the film yet and needed to, or I was growing tired of the film. Day one was a success, and this evening, after all the festivities, night two of the 2x challenge will resume. I haven’t forgotten about the deleted scenes, and after the holidays, I will pick up on the extra content on the disc. Time is on my side with this project, so I am in no rush to complete aspects of the Blu-ray disc all at once. I will need content for a year, but it is good to get this time of the year out of the way now vs later on.  Everyone enjoys the

Day 53 December 22nd, 2023 Today, nothing new happened with the movie outside; I discovered that my phone allows you to speed up the video. Watching the movie in forty-five minutes sounds like a challenge I am up for. Since the only rule is to log the film in good faith, I can 2x a viewing and plan on it during the next three days.

December 21st, 2023 Day 52 Today is December 21st, 2023, which marks Day 52. Something sad that I want to share is that I am currently listening to a movie instead of watching it. However, visualizing the scenes in my mind is therapeutic for me. Although I have the film playing on my phone, my mind is elsewhere, which is why I am skipping the deleted scenes. My favorite Christmas movie is Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale , and I regret not choosing it for my year-long assignment. Nonetheless, I don't want to get annoyed with the movie and end up taking a long break from watching it. Moving on to another topic, I have an update on the case of the missing Scooby Van. I heard that it was parked outside someone's house, and unfortunately, the owner left the keys in the door.

Day 51 December 20th, 2023  So again, I am just watching the movie for the sake of watching it. As much as I want to review more deleted scenes or sequences today, I am not feeling it. I am starting to wonder if this will take a toll on me mentally. It is like a daily chore like brushing your teeth or showering just to watch it. I know that I have a lot going on outside of watching the film, and seasonal depression is probably kicking in if you couldn't tell from some of the anti-Christmas stuff I was saying yesterday. For the record, I once liked Christmas, then I saw how dysfunctional my family became after my father passed away, and we were able to only get a handful of good Christmas Eve nights. It started going downhill after I had my colon resection. I do blame myself for the start of the decline. I ripped my brother's family a new hole because I took all my pain out on them. This was when I grew less fond of letting the kids do whatever they wanted. I did not yell at the

Day 49 December 18th 2023 This was a rushed watch while I was at work. I did not get to any other deleted scenes, so on day 51, we will review two more deleted scenes. I have yet to abandon the project. The absence of writing was pleasant, but it felt like something was missing.

  Day 48 December 17th, 2023 Today is one of those days where I am just completely disconnected from everything. Part of me feels this may stick around for a bit, and I am okay with that. Dead Trey Walking. I’ll be honest: I have no clue what I just watched. I do know that it was a continuation of Trey, in a way, stalking Gibb while she is passed out and dreaming. It was a mix of live action with poorly executed CGI that looked worse than a PS1 game. I guess Jason stabbed Trey in the ass, and now, in the dream world, he walks all wobbly and is super flexible. I am at a loss for words. It was clear that the CGI was not complete, but damn, it looked rough. I really do not get what they wanted to do with this scene because it does nothing for the movie; it just gives that actor one more sequence of events and an additional line of dialog. Dream signs. Well, this scene shows us how Mark’s brother died. It is a hard scene to watch, significantly if you have been affected by suicide. I under

Day 47 December 16th, 2023 A busy day for me, with no time to review a deleted scene. So tomorrow, I will review two deleted scenes to keep us on track. I am sorry. I had to squeeze the viewing in before I worked my weird double today. Kinda pissed that I only got an hour and a half nap in, but it is what it is.  I am debating moving the commentary to day 62, but honestly, it’s just an internal debate, and more than likely, on day 50, I will likely get the commentary in for the first time. Maybe I will revisit it on anniversary dates, which is every 31 days… What does fear taste like? Why does Pamela even say that at the beginning? It’s a stupid line of dialogue? I will guess and say it tastes like blood.

  Day 46. December 15th, 2023 Party in the corn.  This scene debunked an earlier question I did retract on how they got in the cornfield without tire marks. I mentioned that initially because when the scene pans back, you see cars and the missed path to the party. It was overlooked at first by me, but in other viewings, I was able to confirm the path while feeling like an idiot for not seeing it to start with.  One thing pops out in this scene, and it’s from the creepy glow stick guy. This scene gave him dialog and added more to the creep factor of his character. Asking Kia and Lori if they want to see a light show can be taken in many different ways. Was he implying dancing around like a fool or showing them his wiener? Given how out of place this character is, I tend to believe he wanted to show them his o s c a r… I’m sure this scene was cut because of the song in the scene. Frankie would have wanted his money, or he would have had problems relaxing.  The scene does progress Gibb, w

  December 14th 2023 Day 45.  Before we get the day started, I found a nice nod in the movie to sackhead Jason. In what would be a third dream sequence, this happens when Freddy wants to dig a little deeper into Jason's thoughts. We are taken to the day when he drowns, and you see the kids teasing Jason. The kids are harsh to Jason and end up putting a burlap sack on his head. I'm sure this has been seen before by countless others and identified as a nod to Friday the 13th, Part 2 , but I noticed something new. As my friend Jason put it, he is amazed after 56 viewings that I can find new things. 56 may be an overall accurate amount of views I have in this cinematic gem. Ha ha! I was asked why I chose this film for the project. I may have mentioned it before, but growing up, I was terrified of Freddy and Jason, the things that go bump in the night, or my vivid imagination. It took me until I was in my teens to overcome the fear. So, I saw this as a nice nod to my childhood. Con

  Day 44.  December 13th, 2023 Principal Shaye Not much is going on in this scene outside of getting a cameo from Bob Shaye. I respect the man for all he has done, but he isn’t a great actor. Neither am I. To me, this scene played out more like a father pleading to his sons to just give in and go back to the hospital. Except the hospital happens to be a detention center called Westin Hills.  The scene did nothing for the movie outside of giving Bob a cameo and some dialogue. Doesn’t move anything forward and doesn’t stall the film, which is a significant plus. Just trimmed a few seconds or so from the film. Yesterday, for some reason, it felt painful and unnecessarily too prolonged to watch. It was like time was standing still as a punishment. Today, it just felt painful to watch!

  December 12th, 2023 Day 43. Still sick, still trucking along with this the best that I can. Today’s scene was kind of weak but shows the lack of security at the high school. More at School. The scene starts entirely focused on Gibb and the grief she is going through. I love and hate that they decided to expand her character by showing how she was dealing with the events. That is what horror movies miss out on, taking that moment to reveal how the characters are dealing with their grief. Back in the day, you would get moments that would express the danger and grief the characters had. Nowadays, you only see this in independent horror, and that is why they are better than mainstream horror.  I loved how self-aware Gibb was, and her shouting for people to stop staring at her is relatable. We have all had that moment where we feel like we are being watched/judged by our peers and want to lash out like she did.  They should have kept that part in the movie. The downside to this scene is s

Day 42 December 11th 2023 Before we get into today's subject, I would like to pander to the audience. If you enjoy what is being posted, please follow the blog. It would mean a lot. If you don't follow, that is okay too. I know that what is being written is not for everyone and is okay. Back to today's regular schedule. The most essential deleted/extended scene that should have been in the movie. At Death's Door Lori is leaving for school after the events of, I am assuming, the previous night, which makes no sense. Kia mentioned that she would be home alone for the weekend? Yet, Gibb mentioned that Blake and his father died that night, too, stabbed to death. So, did the events take place on a Sunday night? Interesting thought. So, Lori walks out of the house and begins having a daydream essentially of blood going down the iconic red door. We see the door is yellow, so she grabs her keys and starts scraping the door to find out that the door is red. The house in her nig

December 10th, 2023 Day 41 I’ve decided to make a change to add content to speak about. I will review all Blu-ray features, one feature at a time. Currently, we are on the deleted/extended scenes. A detour will be made in 9 days to get the commentary done on day 50. Then, back to everything else until I’ve exhausted everything on the disc. Never fear; the movie will be watched as well…. Taking Lori Home. The sequence of events is relatively simple; we just see Dr. Campbell picking Lori up from the police station after Jason kills Trey. Seems relatively harmless, and I get why it was taken out. There is a giant red herring in this scene. That red herring would be Dr. Campbell himself. To me, he seems overly happy to see Lori, which is understandable, but he also comes off as excessively excited. He knows what is about to happen and that there is a slight chance he may get to lock his daughter up at Westin Hills. I doubt that was his happiness, but it shows how his tone changed from bein

This post is a departure from the regular posts. This is a concept for a movie I would like to look into filming at some point next year. In no way is it meant to be taken seriously or have concern for my well-being. I am doing fine, just dealing with a cold today. I have been writing this on and off for six months; today, I decided to see what AI could bring to the table and see if it would keep my vision. To me, it did not disappoint. I do have my original notes of ideas. Here we go. Movie Theater Funhouse: A Christmas Adventure The staff members at a secluded movie theater have endured mistreatment from guests for numerous years, particularly during the holiday season. Last Christmas became the catalyst that set everything into motion for the events leading up to Christmas 2024. Over a year, the staff worked tirelessly, constructing traps, tampering with food, and setting up various deterrents for the guests. Adherence to rules ensures a delightful experience. However, veering from

  The Big 4 0 December 9th, 2023 Forty days and forty nights… Let’s jump right into the action! Nobody’s Home. The scene opens with us seeing a man in a wheelchair foaming from the mouth and being looked over by Westin Hills finest. It was determined that he needed to go to the D wing. Then Mark says if he gets like that put a pillow over his head. This scene took place as they were getting their daily dose or doses of hypnocil. Does the scene work, yes? It gives us a brief encounter of what the “D Wing” is. I think it was cut because it is more impactful on the viewer seeing a whole room of adults in comas and being told Lori’s father signed off on everything regarding that special wing. It doesn’t move the film forward, just gives you a glimpse of things to come. It’s also a head-scratcher because you do not know why he is foaming from the mouth and what caused it. Finding out later also shows the dangers of experimental medications. It left me with this question; Why are they overdo

  Day 39 December 8th, 2023 We are still doing this... Right?!? At this point, it’s routine, and today is breakfast with Freddy and Jason. Well, the film is over now; we dive into the following deleted scene. Sheet freak. This scene is stupid, and no wonder it was cut from the film. Nobody cares to see Trey walk up the stairs and Gibb stumble up the stairs because she has a drinking problem. The only bit of comic relief was Trey freaking out about the sheets being dirty and Gibb calling him a freak. Pointless sequence of events.

 Day 38 December 7th, 2023 New content? I have mentioned previously about the alternate endings to the film, but I’ve never touched on the deleted scenes. Today, we will begin our journey into deleted scenes one scene at a time. Oh boy. I do hope that one scene explains why Mark had shit on his face near the end of his dream sequence before his death. I am not expecting many outside sequences to be extended, but keep in mind I haven’t watched any of these scenes until now. Before this gets started, painting the door to the house yellow was stupid. It should have been blue or even red. Onto the first scene. Heather and Billy I like the nod to Heather Langenkamp, and either Billy the Puppet or Billy from Scream, but Billy from Black Christmas (1974) makes more sense because it’s also a nod to John Saxon. I feel that this should have been the entire sequence to the opening. The soundtrack nod to Scream (1996), which also served as a nice nod to Wes Craven, was a great addition. This happe

  Day 37 December 6th, 2023 3,240 minutes into this. I have decided that once this ends next year, I will not watch the movie again until 2033, the 30th anniversary. It will not be a year-long event, a one-and-done forever showing. I know yesterday I said I was getting bored with the film, so I found amusing ways to entertain myself. I’ll recite man the torpedos and take the Freddy bow. I’ll mock Will when he tells Kia that Linderman has asthma. Got your nose is a fun line, along with pondering why the nurse will not help you. The stupidity of the police chief makes me laugh. I still get a kick out of Shack’s death and how silly it is. I also know when we get into the last act. I still enjoy the movie even though it’s boring currently. I still find things to discuss but hold back just to have content. It’s not about my life, even though I enjoy writing about it. It’s my descent into madness with this movie. I plan for the future, but some days, I like to just admit that I watched it. T

Day 36 December 5th, 2023 Is fatigue setting in? I am getting bored with the movie. I knew something like this would happen and needed to power through watching. It doesn’t take up much time of the day. Today’s fun fact is email etiquette. Some people know how to write emails, others don’t and assume you did something when you didn’t each time you email asking a question. We all know what assuming really is. A short and sweet day! Sent from my iPhone

Day 35 December 4th, 2023 Another distasteful scene? I have spent a lot of time dwelling on some aspects of the script that should not have been in the final film we got. Dialog is one thing, but you cannot expect me to not touch on the subject of why they have to show Freddy going down on Lori. Was this necessary? What was the point of this being shown, and finally, did the wounds show up like her chest wounds did? I feel that this scene was not necessary, but I think I did touch base yesterday as to why it was required. They wanted to separate their Freddy from the inspiration Freddy used for the movie. Fans are fully aware of Freddy, his backstory, what he did, and what was forgotten over time, but to show him doing something unsettling to a teenager outside of Taryn from ANOES 3: Dream Warriors. If they wanted this scene to be the Taryn scene, it fell on deaf ears. At this point, people like the wise-cracking and kind of scary Freddy sans the original back story of him killing and

Day 34 December 3rd, 2023 I'm sitting at my niece's 1st birthday party, and I decided to go to the sun room at her house and watch the movie. I only know a handful of people here, and I see it as if they want to talk. I'm open to the idea. I'm just not in the mood to be a social butterfly today. I'm also sure that this is far from appropriate. Three Kruegers' The details are in the teeth?!? I know I mentioned this before on day 3, but I have a theory as to why there are three versions of Freddy in the film. With the pointed teeth, Freddy is the dream demon. The Freddy with a better-completed grill needs to be in complete form, Freddy. The typical teeth are Freddy Freddy at full strength. I know this all sounds silly, but the movie starts with a different Freddy telling us his back story; his teeth are pointy and demon-like. I'll call this the Dream Demon. We get started by getting a brief glimpse of this version of Freddy with the eyes and teeth, but that

 Day 33 December 2nd, 2033 Day 33 was just a watch. Nothing new to write about today, and that is perfectly okay. Just touching base on older subjects. I even tried pausing the newspaper clippings shown at the beginning to hopefully find dates. Did I find any? Nope. Nothing like seeing eighteen-year-olds deathly afraid of a 61-year-old dream demon. I do want to elaborate on the three Freddies that I feel are in the film, and I plan on doing that tomorrow. Seeing Jason’s shadow at the start of the journey on Elm Street is comical. He looks like an oaf. He looks his most menacing staring into the window while Gibb flicks her cigarette into his mask, the blacked-out eyes worked perfectly. Still looks like it’s raining in the house even though it’s just the open window behind Blake. Enjoy the short post.

December 1st, 2023 What happens to Freddy’s body when he dies in reality? This is a subject they have yet to touch on in any of the movies. Since the project is based on this movie, I feel that this isn’t a clear-cut answer. Freddy’s head and body sink to the bottom of Crystal Lake, or so we are told to believe. To be clear, based on this one movie, I had to add more strange searches to my Google searches. Science… I think. Aa human head will sink and rise once the brain decomposes. Apparently, a headless body will also float unless it is weighted down. Don’t quote me on this, but it seems the movie got one thing right. The head would sink, but the body would float. I doubt the gloved hand through the chest would be enough weight to make the body sink. So, based on that, wouldn’t Freddy’s headless corpse be floating in Crystal Lake for someone to find. Imagine stumbling along that, and when you identify the body, you find out that this person initially died in 1968 per  A Nightmare on
