Enjoyed your column today. It reminded of the title of the third sequel to “Friday the 13th,” which was 1984’s “Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.” Since that cathartic crescendo of the saga of Jason Voorhees, we have seen:
Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985)
Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI (1986)
Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988)
Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)
Jason X (2001)
Freddy vs. Jason (2003)
Friday the 13th (2009)
Friday the 13th: Part 2 (2011)
So I look forward, as do you I’m sure, with some apprehension to the eventual release of “Obamacare Takes Manhattan.”
