    But there really isn’t much those movies… a bunch of really hot teenagers go off to a lake and a dude chops the, up with the super creepy soundtrack in the background. don’t overthink it

      Hear me out: that’s what I mean!

      They are some of the silliest movies ever, but they cared so much how he became the character he became throughout the sequels.

      So it’s funny that between 1 and 2 they’re just like “jeez I don’t know, grew monstrous somehow and no one saw him?”

      The first one is the only time there’s any kind of continuity weirdness. I would argue the continuity is what makes the series as a whole fun to watch. From sequel to sequel they’ll keep the dents and cuts in his mask, they take some continuity strangely seriously.

      Even when it gets downright stupid, like he gets tied underwater after part 7(?), they take it seriously how he gets out in part 8. The ghost killer guy. It’s amazing.
