a couple things I always wonder about


I know it was a throwaway line, but when Alice says at the beginning "I might have to go back to California to straighten something out" What?

And do you think Mrs. Voorhees knew about the reopening and planned it all out? Or that she found out about it when she picked up Annie and then just snapped?

reply

Probably knew about the reopening. She seemed to know the guy who was running things. He recognized her anyway right before she killed him.

reply

Appearently there was some backstory in which she was involved with a married man.

I believe that Mrs Voorheese knew about the reopening. Why she waited for for the others to arrive instead of simply killing steve to prevent the reopening is a mystery.

reply

A better question is, Why does Mrs Voorhees still have all this crazy anger after more than 20 years? And what has she been doing this whole time?

reply

People can hold anger 4 a lifetime. N she's probably been hoing this whole time

reply

I think Alice was mentally unstable n she had 2 go back 2 California 2 straighten things out. N Mrs. Voorhees probably checked out the camp every year 2 c if they were gonna actually open. Fucking bitch was properly on steroids. Either that she had wayyyy 2 much p.m.s 4 1 psycho bitch.

reply

Additionally, is Alice sleeping with the older guy in charge of the camp AND the younger guy who gets posted to the door to the generator?

reply

I don't think she was sleeping with the younger guy. I'm not sure if she was actually sleeping with the older guy, but there was definitely something going on.

reply

But why did she seem so skeeved by him. I got the impression they had a fling but then in some of their interactions he looks like am old perv making the moves on an unwilling girl.

reply

Yep, I agree. That's why I said that I'm not sure she was sleeping with him, but that something seemed to be going on between them. Maybe they had been flirting a little and he was making more out of it than she intended.

reply

Yeah, if she had any romantic feelings for anyone at camp it must have been Bill. But I doubt she would have made a tense situation if she was hooking up with steve and then went to Bill...but according to the novel she was having an affair with a married man in california so... ?

reply

It seems the writers had some ideas, but eventually didn't do anything with them.

reply

I thought Mrs. Voorhees had been hired to be the new cook. The director seemed to be expecting her before she stabbed him.

reply

Annie was the cook, they'd never said anything about another. My guess is just that she and the director knew each other from back when, and she stayed in the area. This explains how A) She knew about the reopening, and B) He recognized her and didn't seem terribly surprised by her appearance

reply

Maybe I got them mixed up. It's been a while.
