Quist vs Freddy vs Jason

  Day 367 October 31, 2024 Today, I find myself overflowing with a whirlwind of emotions, as I proudly celebrate the completion of my project. This journey has been a true rollercoaster, at times serving as a therapeutic outlet that allowed me to explore my inner thoughts and feelings. Throughout the process, I confronted my deep-seated fear of commitment, and I can finally sense a shift within me. I am filled with a newfound confidence, and I genuinely believe that I will navigate the path ahead with strength and resilience. The intriguing aspect of my project lies in how I channeled my passion for horror movies to tackle a significant personal challenge. It wasn't merely about indulging in films like *Freddy vs. Jason* and *Child's Play*; rather, it became a profound journey of self-reflection. I found myself confronting my deep-seated fear of commitment, a fear intricately tied to my past experiences and the emotional hurdles I've faced. This project transformed into a p

  Day 366 October 30th, 2024 As we stand on the brink of the project’s conclusion, it’s hard to believe we’ve hit the milestone of 365 days. It’s a significant achievement, but now we’re diving into what could be considered extra credit, reflecting on the entire journey we’ve taken. Throughout this year, my perspective on the film "Freddy vs. Jason" has shifted multiple times, leading me to an unexpected conclusion: it is not the worst installment in either of the respective franchises. Of course, this is all subjective and heavily reliant on personal tastes. In my opinion, it holds a higher place than "A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 5" and "Friday the 13th Part 5." I have a soft spot for the Friday entry, even though it's for reasons that might be deemed inappropriate, as it was the first horror movie where I saw breasts. Despite that nostalgia, I must admit that the overall quality of the film itself is quite lackluster. As for "Elm Street 5,&qu

  Day 365 October 29th, 2024 I did it!  I have successfully watched Freddy vs Jason for an entire year.  I also watched Child’s Play for a year and my only regret with that was not writing more about it.  The project started as watching both, tracking both and only writing about one. It’s hard to come up with new content every day. But we are not finished yet.. There is more to come. Project ends in two days!

  Day 364 October 28, 2024 We stand on the brink of a monumental milestone for me and the project! Today's viewing felt interminable, dragging on as if time itself had come to a halt. **Death Toll:** Heather has met her end an astonishing 364 times, each demise playing on repeat in Jason’s mind like a haunting melody. We’ve witnessed her sun-kissed tan line breasts 364 times, a bizarre detail etched into our memories.  Trey has also faced his fate 364 times, each death a reminder of his doomed existence in this world.  Blake has perished 364 times, a testament to the film's relentless brutality.  Gibb, too, has succumbed 364 times, yet her spirit somehow lingers in the shadows.  And the glow-in-the-dark man? Surprisingly, he hasn’t met his maker nearly enough, especially considering the dark intentions he harbored toward Gibb.  Mark, meanwhile, has died 364 times, his pleas for rescue going unheard as a van could have plowed into the house to save him. Nope, his fate sealed wit

  Day 363 October 27, 2024 As I sit with my thoughts, a whirlwind of emotions begins to settle in. I find myself in disbelief over the journey I've taken. Initially, I had anticipated that I would only commit to this project for a month before throwing in the towel. Yet here I am, almost a full year later, immersed in this endeavor, chronicling my experience as I delve into what might be one of the most captivating tales of developmental purgatory in film history. The behind-the-scenes saga of the film’s creation has proven more intriguing than the final product we were ultimately shown. Perhaps there’s a story worth telling about the challenges and delays in bringing a Freddy vs. Jason movie to life. This leads me to reflect on the countless opportunities I could have seized in the past year to enhance my own well-being. I could have pursued a healthier lifestyle, shedding excess weight and embracing fitness. I might have ventured back into the world of dating, despite my belief t

  Day 362 October 26, 2024 Well, after yesterday's twelve-hour movie marathon, I am still awake for some damn reason. I was able to enjoy classics while seeing two new movies that I appreciated the hell out of. I came out of this with a deeper appreciation of Freddy vs Jason. I was not expecting that to happen, but it did happen.  Today, I am going to take some time and reflect on the project. What I have been accustomed to for the past year almost is wrapping up rather fast, I need to enjoy what time I have left in this project.  I am glad that I am not the only person who has had the idea to watch a singular movie every day for a year, but I might be the crazy one to watch two movies every day for a year! 

  Day 361 October 25, 2024 What if… Jason ignored Freddy. Freddy had to Jason’s mother to get him to wake up and walk to Elm Street. That alone makes no sense because the chances are hight that Jason could have walked to the wrong Elm Street. I could see Freddy getting frustrated, and his plan coming to an end. Jason would go on a killing spree in a Freddy-less town which would have been somewhat comedic. It would have made Freddy out to be the goof in that movie. 

  Day 360 Five days away from the goal, seven days until the project ends. It has been a wild ride full of ups and downs. Do I have any regrets? Nope!  Am I still enjoying both movies? Yes! Will I re-rate Freddy vs Jason last time? Bet your ass I will.  Today's viewing was okay and enjoyable as usual, but I would be lying if I didn't say that I am ready for this to end. I still hate how Jason was portrayed in the film. He's far from menacing. I do not like how they gave empathy to the character. Intentional or not, it only hurt Jason in the end run imo.

  Day 359 October 23, 2024 I am not feeling well today so I watched the movie and have nothing to report on. 

  Day 358 October 22, 2024 We are seven days away from 365 days of this.  Today's viewing came in later than expected because I went down the Hardcore Pawn rabbit hole and watched two terrible movies, Rumours and Smile 2. Seeing those bad movies made today's viewing enjoyable yet again.  Today I enjoyed the shadow of Jason walking to elm street!

  Day 357 October 21, 2024 Today was a recovery day and I did not have anything to add to the showing today. I simply enjoyed it for the campiness of the film. Walked into viewing 357 expecting nothing and walked away from the viewing slightly satisfied with the movie. My views on the film have been all over the place and I am still trying to figure out why I cannot trash this movie. There is some charm about it that makes it enjoyable, frustrating, entertaining and okay. The movie knows that it's not going to appeal to both fan bases and that is okay. I am curious to who they wrote the movie for!  Either way it was an enjoyable viewing today.

Day 356 October 20th 2024 Today I added another odd place to enjoy FVJ… while standing in a line to get into Scarefest. It also was my third outside viewing of the film.  Today I did get to meet Ken Kirzinger today and I talked about this project and how many views I am at. He seemed shocked that I am doing this and asked why, my response was it’s something to do. He thought I was trying to do a world record, which I said would be cool. He admitted that I probably have that! Then he asked why this movie. I was like you get the best of both worlds a Freddy and a Jason movie. He agreed! I wish I had longer to speak about how I felt Jason was portrayed in the film, but he had somewhere to be. I did tell him this was the icing on the cake for the project.  

 Day 355!

  Day 354 October 18, 2024 Today, we’re embarking on an exciting road trip to ScareFest, a convention I’ve been eagerly anticipating all week. It promises to be a weekend filled with thrilling events, engaging panels, and the chance to connect with fellow horror enthusiasts.  Earlier in the project, I made a bit of a whimsical decision—I designed and ordered business cards to promote this blog. I imagined them being placed in the hands of fellow attendees, sparking conversations and sharing experiences. However, life got busy, and I missed the opportunity to distribute them at Flashback Weekend, where I originally planned to set them out for people to take, toss, or keep as they pleased.  Now, I’m hoping this weekend will be the perfect occasion to share what I’ve created. I can’t wait to see how the other fans react and maybe even hear some feedback on the blog! Let’s see what surprises and adventures await us at ScareFest. Today, I'm excited to share that I'll be watching &qu

  Day 353 October 17, 2024 Today, I find myself in a contemplative mood, having nothing particularly good or bad to report. This enjoyment is a welcome distraction as I prepare for the next six days off from work, which I desperately need.  This upcoming break will be the perfect opportunity for me to catch up on movies for the season that I've missed. With my movie project taking up so much of my time, it has created a bit of a challenge in my seasonal viewing. I’ve been immersed in this project, focusing on *FVJ* and *Child’s Play*. However, I anticipate that once I wrap up these films, I’ll be finished with this particular project altogether. It’s a bittersweet feeling, knowing that I’ll soon be moving on but also excited about the freedom to explore new films without any constraints.

  Day 352 October 16, 2024 Well, Freddy unfortunately faced defeat again in today’s film. I found myself increasingly frustrated with Lori’s character—her decisions were so irritating at times that I actually caught myself shouting at the screen in disbelief over her seemingly foolish choices.  In the grand scheme of things, it feels like the true fans of the franchise were the real losers in this situation, rather than either Freddy or Jason. While the film had its moments, it ultimately left a lot to be desired. It’s not that the movie is inherently bad; there were flashes of creativity and some entertaining scenes. However, I genuinely believe that with a bit more thought put into the plot and character development, it could have reached a much higher standard. Overall, it’s a film that might appeal to some, but it definitely didn’t hit the mark for me today!

  Day 351 October 15, 2024 This week has been quite overwhelming with work and personal matters, but I am grateful to have something to turn to for comfort. Watching movies like Freddy vs. Jason has been my go-to stress reliever. It may sound silly to some, but these films have a special place in my heart and provide a much-needed escape for me. Today, I received the 4k version of the original Nightmare on Elm Street, and I can't wait to experience it in all its glory. As I navigate through this challenging week, I find myself pondering about what comes next after completing this project. Will I feel lost once it's over? Despite these uncertainties, I believe that there are exciting opportunities waiting for me beyond this project, and I am looking forward to embracing them. The experience of watching today's show felt like the first viewing of the fall season. The weather outside was cold and crisp, with the leaves starting to change color. However, something about the exp
