Hosts Josh and Jamie and special guest horror filmmaker Anthony Leroy kick off SLEAZOIDS THE 13TH, an entire month dedicated to the highs and lows of our buddy Jason, and one of the original texts about the ritualized murder of horny teenagers that has since become the cultural fascination with sex-and-death slashers. Starting with Sean S. Cunningham's humble summer camp serial killer "hangout" murder mystery original FRIDAY THE 13TH (1980) + Steve Miner's hastily greenlit sequel yet marginal technical improvement FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2 (1981).
