Alright, let’s talk about that movie, Friday the 13th. Some folks are all worked up about whether they really killed a snake in it. You know, back in my day, we didn’t have all this fuss about animals and such. If a snake was in the way, well, it was in the way. But I guess times are different now.
So, from what I hear, and I ain’t no expert, they did kill a real snake in that movie. Can you believe it? A real, live snake! Not some fake rubber thing, but a real one. They say it wasn’t even supposed to be in the movie at first, but then they just threw it in there.
- They didn’t have no fancy rules about protecting animals back then, like they do now.
- No PETA or them other groups watching over things.
- If they wanted to whack a snake, they whacked it. Simple as that.
Now, I ain’t seen the movie myself. Too much blood and screaming for my taste. I like a good story, you know, one with some heart. But this Friday the 13th thing, it’s all about chopping and slicing and whatnot. And apparently, they chopped up that poor snake real good.
They say it was a scene where this girl, Alice, finds the snake in her cabin. Then this fella, Bill, comes running in. And bam! They hack the snake with a machete. Real nasty stuff, I tell ya. Folks say the director himself, this Cunningham fella, was the one who did the hacking. Can you imagine? Chopping up a snake like that? Makes my stomach turn just thinking about it.
Some folks are saying the snake killin’ was cruel and sadistic, and I guess it was. But back then, like I said, things were different. People didn’t think the same way about animals as they do now. If a snake was causing trouble, or even if it wasn’t, well, it might just end up dead.
Now, they say they faked all the human killings. You know, with makeup and rubber parts and all that movie magic. But the snake? That was the real deal. Poor little critter didn’t stand a chance. It makes you wonder, though. Why did they have to use a real snake? Couldn’t they have faked that too? I guess not. Or maybe they just didn’t care.
It’s funny, ain’t it? Folks get all worked up about a snake, but they don’t bat an eye at all the fake human killings. I guess that’s just how it is. People are strange creatures. We care about some things, and we don’t care about others. There ain’t always no rhyme or reason to it.
And it sounds like nobody really cared much back when the movie first came out neither. Folks weren’t out there protesting or writing angry letters. They just watched the movie and went on about their business. It was only later, I reckon, when people started getting more sensitive about animal stuff, that they got upset about the snake.
Now, I heard they also had some trouble with the fake blood they used in the movie. This fella, Crosby, who played Bill, he got some of that fake blood in his eyes and it blinded him for a while. Can you imagine? Blinded by fake blood! It’s like the movie was cursed or somethin’. First the snake, then the blind fella.
So, did they really kill a snake in Friday the 13th? Sounds like they did. And it sounds like it was pretty gruesome. Not somethin’ I’d want to see, that’s for sure. But it was a different time, I guess. People didn’t think the same way they do now. Still, it makes you think, doesn’t it? About how we treat animals, and about how much things have changed.
And just for the record, it wasn’t even that famous Jason fella doing the killing in the first movie. It was his mama! Can you believe it? A mama doing all that chopping and slicing. Well, I guess a mama bear will do anything to protect her cubs, even if her cub is a crazy killer. But that’s a whole other story for another time.
So there you have it. The story of the snake in Friday the 13th. A sad story, for sure. But a reminder that things ain’t always what they seem, and that times change, and people change with them. And maybe, just maybe, we can learn a little somethin’ from it all.
