On this day in horror history, director Steve Miner’s classic slasher sequel
Friday the 13th Part 2 with Amy Steel opened back in 1981. The film marks the debut of Jason Voorhees as the main antagonist, played by Steve Daskewisz and Warrington Gillette.
The second entry in the series. It focuses on a group of teenage would-be counselors converging on Camp Crystal Lake for training under head counselor Paul. Inevitably, Paul relates the story of Jason Voorhees, a boy who ostensibly drowned at the camp and whose mother murdered a group of counselors in revenge. No one takes the tale seriously until a very much alive Jason begins gruesomely eliminating people.
