Guess What Movie Turns 40 This Year???????????????????????

                                No wonder the late Betsy Palmer looks gleeful.  The original, 1980 "Friday The 13th," which gave Palmer her signature role of psycho mom Pamela Voorhees--and we just LOVE her, don't we, girls???????????--turns 40 this year.

                                  I cannot believe it.  I was still in my twenties, when I saw this at the Loews's Theatre, out in East Brunswick, New Jersey, which probably does not exist anymore.

                                 I hope someone holds a retrospective screening.  And if not, there will be, sometime this year, a "Friday The 13th" party at our house.  Baby Gojira is excited already.

And speaking of films turning 40, so does the Jamie Lee Curtis classic, "Prom Night," a Shakespearean style slasher featuring the sicket bunch of bullying children ever seen, who are hunted down, and deservedly, six years later, at a prom.  The end is a real tragedy, and the opening shows how evil these kids are.  Not as iconic as "Friday The 13th," maybe not worth a party, but certainly worth another look at, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My, the year is shaping up, isn't it???????????????????
