”Legend has it that Jason saw his mother beheaded that night... and he took his revenge. A revenge that he'll continued to seek if anyone ever enters his wilderness again. And by now, I guess you all know we're the first to return here. Five years... five long years he's been dormant... and he's hungry. Jason's out there... watching... always on the prowl for intruders. Waiting to kill... waiting to devour... Thirsty for young blood.” Friday The 13th Part 2 (Music From The Motion Picture) - Harry Manfredini
The second installment in the lengthy Friday The 13th franchise, which introduced a pre-hockey mask wearing Jason as the killer, was released in theaters 40 years ago today.
If this remake wasn't bad enough there's Goldsmith's jaunty, absent-minded serial killer theme. Not a favourite of mine. But I haven't given this a spin in eons, so… it's another score of his I'd like to strip out the electronics.
It didn't do much for me the first five or six times I listened to it, but it's playing like the perfect accompaniment now to the dawning of an overcast morning.
