Black History in Horror Videos

Oldies But Goodies:
Arsenio vs. Jason

Written by Daniel Weiss

The 90s were an interesting time. The decade gave birth to a lot of wacky ideas; Crystal Pepsi, The Macarena, bowl cuts, and putting Jason Voorhees on a boat to New York. Another thing the 90s were guilty of was unorthodox promotions.

For those who do not know, Arsenio Hall was one of the top late-night talk show hosts. His style was completely different from the suit-wearing hosts that sat behind desks. In this AMAZING video, Arsenio takes his own life into his hands when he attempts to interview Jason while he’s promoting Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. I don’t know who’s idea this was, but I applaud them.

Jason in this clip was played by my favorite Jason, Kane Hodder.

Looking for your Friday the 13th fix? IFC is doing a marathon all day! (11/13/2020)

Pardon the viewing quality. It was the 90s and this interview isn’t remastered. lol
