I actually played Jason in this movie for about 10 seconds! I was hired to do art direction for the opening sequence. I built the Hell structure you see in the beginning. They needed some close-ups for Jason but the actor wasn't there. It was me getting chains wrapped around the body. The zoom-out of Jason's eye is actually mine, lol. Chapter one on the DVD was a short animated gif of my eyeball. My claim to fame, haha!

Jason X was the single greatest theater-going experience I have ever had. Late night, tiny theater, packed house, initial release, enthusiastic crowd. Simply amazing.

It's funny that you mentioned the 2 people from Goosebumps, but for me this movie is the one where 2 of the actresses from the under-rated Andromeda TV series basically swapped their Andromeda roles and fought Jason. The actresses in question are Lexa Doig and Lisa Ryder. And, much like the 2 actors you mentioned, when I see either of these 2 in a movie I know it was filmed in Canada.

As a kid I loved this movie, thought Jason’s design was awesome and the fact that it was in space in the future was so damn funny to me. There’s a certain charm imo lol

The whole Friday the 13th franchise is my guilty pleasure slasher series with this being high up there. The absurdity of the movie is iconic.

The frozen face-smash is my all-time favorite kill in the Friday the 13th franchise!

This is actually the jason movie I’ve rewatched the most because I die from laughter every time. It’s bad, but my god does it know it!

This is unironically my favorite Friday movie and one of my all time favorite movies! It’s fun! Making a “so bad it’s good” movie on purpose is a fine line to walk. Go too far in and you get Sharknado. Try to be too serious and campy and you get hated movies like Piranha 3DD. Jason X does it just right.

Absolutely love Jason X. Dodnt take itself too seriously, giving the audience what they wanted. But was still of high quality in my opinion. At the beginning we see how much of a seasoned and experienced killer Jason has become. And in the theatres i stood up and cheered for the sleeping back scene. Such a good call back.

Congrats on making it to 10 years of your Halloween Special! Also loved meeting you at Fantastic Fest 😁

this man is working on a feature and is also a father, yet he’s still doing the annual halloween special. this is a personal staple for my halloween season and i appreciate you for continuing the tradition year after year!!

I literally love this movie it’s a childhood memory i’ll always cherish

So exciting. Congrats on 10 years. Also there's another milestone: the subtitles on my phone finally picked up on the word "stuckmannized" just now for the first time so that's an achievement in its own right.

Aw, one of the best times of the year with one of the best film reviewers on KZfaq. I LOVE the annual Halloween special series! I'm reminded of how many great (and not so great) horror films there are out there whenever Chris does these videos.

I love your Halloween season reviews! Really puts me in the spooky season mood!

Since the years have passed I always look forward to this one, because it's so funny. When doing a Friday the 13th Marathon, it's good to have a few entries that make you laugh a little more than the others. The "It's going to take a little more than a poke in the ribs to put me down" line is magic to me. I remember watching it in the theatre and I was laughing so hard and for so long (a case of the giggles I could not extinguish even long after the scene had ended) that I almost had to leave because I knew I was probably annoying the other two people in the theatre.

Love this season of the year. Can't wait to see all your horror movie reviews

I absolutely love Jason X (2001).

I grew up hating this movie because I just didn't understand it. But I watched it recently with fresh eyes and had such a blast. It's so much fun and it's surprisingly self-aware. I'm glad I came around because it's now one of my favorites of the series!

Jason X is one of my favorite in the franchise. It leaned into the camp and had fun with it. It was super creative with the kills. The face smash and the sleeping bag were standouts 😂.

I literally never fucking knew that some actors from Goosebumps were in this, you really surprised me today Chris! 😂 While we’re on the topic, just in case anyone didn’t know, Kyle Labine (Evan from the Monster Blood episode) is in Freddy vs. Jason and A.J. Cook (Kim from Don’t Wake Mummy) is one of the main characters in Final Destination 2. I could be wrong, but I think that one of the guards from Perfect School is in Crimes of the Future as well.

Friday the 13th is my all time favourite horror series. Watched Jason X way back in 2001 when I was 20. It's so bad it's good lol. Ultimate cheese fest but a good laugh with friends and drinks. Great video Chris, long time subscriber. Great to see you grow so much over the years and congratulations on being a parent, now is where the real work begins lol.

I could cry of happiness hearing you say that about this being the best time of year!! You are soooooo right!! Every year I watch new “scary”/horror movies - and I MUST rewatch my absolute faves… Bride of Chucky, idle Hands, House on Haunted Hill, Ginger Snaps (all of them), Scream (all of them), I Know What You Did Last Summer and the Sequel…. Ahhh this truly is the BEST time of year ❤

I always referred to Jason X as the one with Super Shredder. I watched this 4 times in theaters with various friends and family. ❤

And before I even start this I really can say this was the absolute meaning of guilty pleasure 😆 The sleeping bag scene is just infamous

Really looking forward to your tenth - TENTH - anniversary Halloween month extravaganza, Chris! Also can't wait to see your new horror film! (I backed you, man! 😉) Wow. I'm so very happy for you, buddy! What a journey, eh? I can still remember first finding your channel, jeez, I actually don't know how long ago and it's just so cool to see where your hard work and perseverance has paid off. You're a great inspiration to those who need that extra push to work toward seeing their dreams become real. Take care and best wishes to you and your family. And... HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 😱👻👹👾👽😈🎃🙀

Omg I'm so happy to see this time of year with you, I know your working hard on the film but I'm missing your many videos and to see such a breath of fresh air on your channel finally We still love what you do and I love it so much so even though you may have craziness in the years to follow please continue for us.

I love this movie. Still remember the 2 scenes vividly, the sleeping bag smash and the frozen head kill. I laughed out loud when they cut back to Jason and he's smashing the loaded sleeping bag on the other one, then the tree. Going to watch this one again. So bad its good.

This is THE first horror movie I saw when I about 6 or 7 years old! I immediately knew it wasn't particularly good, because I was laughing for most of its duration, yet for some odd reason it really made me love horror right away. Then I saw actually good ones that scared me and were actually good and loved horror even more.

Jason X was my FIRST R rated movie! I was 7 or so when a babysitter took me to see it because she wanted to see it. It was so great. I still remember a sold out audience and the audience really loving it. It was such a insane way to introduce a kid to jason. No lakes but spaceships lol. It was still one of my favorite movies ever and that's probably just my nostalgia glasses on

Congratulations on you’re 10th Halloween Special Chris! Thanks for doing this!

Was afraid you might not do your Halloween special this year since you got so much going on. It’s much appreciated and needed. Great way to start off October. Thanks man!

Sometimes a movie is so bad that it's great. I really enjoyed Jason X when I saw it at release. Edit: I also grew up a massive Goosebumps fan! That books series actually inspired me to write short stories as a kid where I won a few awards & even would write/tell horror shorts in elementary/middle school every year. Those were great times! Looking back at it, I can't believe I used to actually have the class on edge & jumping during the readings.

Hey Chris, good job on starting off this years Halloween celebration. I never knew you were a big Goosebumps fan. I'm from Canada and I have some friends who were on the show and if you'd like I can probably get something signed for you.

I saw this film on release while on vacation in Barcelona. It was dubbed into Spanish and I don't speak hardly any Spanish. It made absolutely no difference to understanding what was happening and It was a really unique and fun cinema experience. I love this film.

Love to see Chris with so much enthusiasm again. Great video! Glad your doing well, Chris.

I saw this movie 3 times in theaters. Bringing a new person with me each time. I did my duty as a horror fan!!

Personally one of my favorite movies of all time, no shame. It’s such a great, bad movie. I love that you played the trailer clip featuring DP’s “Bodies” in the opening, that hit me right in the nostalgia bone.

With finishing your first feature and be a first time father. I am so glad that you kept up with your traditions for your stalwart fans. At long last we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Stuckmann's Halloween special.

Always great spooky season with your reviews Chris. Happy you can keep them up during your busy movie making times.

He doesn't really do them anymore, but I'm pretty sure this is a hilariocity film. I definitely know because I watched this film at like 2am and the scene with the sleeping bags made me laugh uncontrollably.

So excited for another Halloween special, Chris! And I'm glad to hear someone like you say that none of the Friday the 13th movies are really any good. I've always felt that way, and I've always been surprised at the way some people will argue to the death that this one or that one is actually the "good one" or whatever. I'm always like, "Uh, NONE of them are any good, maybe just kind of fun sometimes."

Congratulations on the baby!! That’s awesome!! You will be a great dad brother!!

I'm so glad that Chris didn't do a Hilariocity or a stompdown on this, because I've always rather liked it. Chris talks about actors from the Goosebumps TV show, but for me the point of connection was the TV show Andromeda. I fell in love with star Lexa Doig from that show, and her Andromeda costar Lisa Ryder appears as the android. Does that lead-in mean we can count on seeing Deep Blue Sea? I sure hope so.

I love that you pointed out the goosebumps actors on this I didn’t realize and I absolutely love the whole entirety of the goosebumps show, but I do the same thing if I see an actor from Power Rangers and anything I’ll make oh he look it’s a power ranger!

Part 4 and 6 are great Friday movies! They have everything you want in a slasher flick.

I met Kane on Friday, January 13th, 2023 (at the Hollywood Theater). He signed my "Jason X" DVD. He was very friendly and talkative!

Hot take: I love this movie! It’s not a Friday movie per se (no camp, no counselors, etc.) but for what it is and despite the low budget it’s fun and funny and has some great kills in it and c’mon there’s no denying Uber Jason is cool

Chris Stuckmann with the most consistent videos of all time

I remember I was about 9-11 years old, my parents went for vacation and my beloved grandmother, may her soul rest in peace, was taking care of me during this time, and it was summer vacation and when she fell asleep I watched all kind of movies a kid my age wasn't supposed to watch, and this was my first encounter with Jason, and it was wild. This movie will always have a special place in my heart.

I had a one-time job with the prop master for this film and he let me mess around with the guns - really neat arsenal and I was quite impressed with the crafts. Appreciate the sentiment you give for how this movie can be appreciated as just a fun little romp to have on because I share that as well - it reminds me of the science fiction that would air on TV back in the day (We Are The New VR). Also, for Dov Tiefenbach, I'd recommend checking out "Pretend We're Kissing" where he stars (along with Zoe Kravitz who plays his character's nudist roommate and confidant). It's billed as a rom-com but it's more of an anti-rom-com, not in the sense that it deconstructs the genre or parodies or pisses on it, but more that it portrays a much more realistic perspective on romantic expectations. It's an indie flick that focuses more on the awkwardness and insecurity of romance and intimacy that offers shrugging disappointment and realism to the hopeless romantic. The promo material might make it seem like a quirky little indie flick but it has some very raw and dry depictions of dating life that's probably aimed more towards people who are cynical about relationships in general and it doesn't aim to bring you down. It's still stuck with me after I first saw it and I think it's unique enough to share. Aside from that role, I mostly remember Dov for shouting at Chris Farley in his boat in Tommy Boy, or as the guy with the big bag of weed in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.

Every year I curate a movie list for my friends so we can get together and marathon horror. A lot of great and hilarious movies have come out of this series of reccomendations. Can't thank you enough Chris, cheers

I first saw Jason X at an all-guys sleepover when I was in middle school: the perfect time and environment to watch something this silly. Around the time we had a similar kind of dumb fun watching movies like Freddy's Dead. It's something you can at least laugh at for how bad it is rather than getting angry about it: I see it like the horror equivalent of the Street Fighter movie, or Batman Forever (it didn't quite *commit* itself enough to be compared to Batman and Robin). Also I love how the guy on the left at 3:29 has such a trendy early 00s look (hair and all) despite this taking place in the 25th century.

Can't wait to see what horror movies you've got lined up to review this year!

look forward to these this time and your vids every year. I even pulled my brother into appreciating it. psyched to show him exorcist 3 and Hereditary soon

This will always be one of my favorite Halloween guilty pleasures. Yes it is absolutely terrible, and I love it for that.

THE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL HAS BEGUN!!🖤🦇🌙✨

This is a personal favorite of mine. It's so much fun. Reminds me of old Syfy channel movies.

I remember when I rewatched The Thing and saw Keith David in it. I immediately recognized his voice from Gargoyles and the first three Halo games and thought "Wow he was in this before those? That's awesome!" 🤣🤣

This is my all time favorite Jason movie. Yes I know it's terrible but I was 9 when this came out. my local news paper had the Jason x poster and it looked so cool to me. When I asked my dad what it was he laughed hysterically and took me that weekend to see it. Been a Jason fan ever since

You forgot to mention the lead girl and the android were main characters in the show Andromeda. The lead girl played an android and the android played a human, they are flip flopped in the movie as an ester egg.

Very excited for Halloween season reviews on Chris’ channel 😄

Love the effort you put into the Halloween specials!

I always enjoyed goosbumps but my favorite kids horror tv show was "are you afraid of the dark?" (another canadian show btw) and i can't watch a Ryan Gosling movie with out his episode coming to mind.

Unpopular opinion: the 2009 remake is the best one

thank you chris i love this series so much i can't believe it's been a whole decade!!! you just made me even more excited for spooky season😈😈

Yessss Chris Stuckman!!!! Holyween month is here - have a look at my Jason outfit last month on channel - love your videos for 7+ years! Saw the upload and was SYKED!!

I’ll never forget seeing this film in theatres back in 2002! I was in 5th grade. PS, I had a similar GOOSEBUMPS experience when watching “The X-Files” yesterday (also filmed in Canada)! I noticed the chick from “It Came from Beneath the Sink.”

it's always my favorite videos of yours during this month ☺️

I love this time of the year and your reviews!

10 years is so unreal! So happy I could ride this train all these years

Your annual Halloween specials are one of the best things about the Halloween season! Can’t wait for all the vids!

I friend and I watched this on a whim in an empty theater when it came out and I still think it was some of the most fun I've ever had at the cinema even all these years later.

Great review as always! Love the season too! Btw, how's post comn along on Shelby?

Hey Chris, did you start using a new camera? Looks sharp! 👍🏻

You and Double toasted. Can’t get enough of the both of your reviews.

I can’t believe I am only finding out now that you’re a mad Goosebumps fan Chris. Would absolutely kill to see you do a top 10 list of your favourite Goosebumps episodes please 😊

Congrats on fatherhood, my guy! I became a dad this year too, it’s so cool having a small person that looks like you

Happy anniversary, Chris!

I love this time of year and the reviews you give us. But it's about time you reviewed critters!

LOL! Congratulations on 10 years of covering horror films! You are a treat to watch and you never, ever trick me! (Obvious play on words) I'm not a huge horror fan, I tend to lean toward classic horror with psychological impacts than physical violence and gore. That's not saying there are some films that demonstrate violence and gore that I can appreciate. I turn to your channel especially around this time because of your appreciation of the genre and you are making your own damn movie!!!!!!! You're an inspiration to me not only as a critic, a fan but a creator of film in general. I applaud you good sir!

I just remembered yesterday about this Halloween upcoming reviews, and got excited!

Man can't believe it's been ten years of this segment. It's definitely become an important part to the spooky season for me

You know it's the best time of year when Chris uploads halloween special content

Here we go! I love this time of year, when Chris reviews horror movies from yesteryear.

That short little talk about the goosebumps actors and tv show makes me want to a see a full video on the tv show from you

Another fantastic video!!! Thank you!

A guy I dated in college loved this franchise. He actually drew a doodle of Jason going to space---this was 1988! We've remained friends over the years, but we lived in different states when this movie came out. I don't think he saw it, but I remember telling him about my experience seeing it in the theaters with what seemed like folks who knew nothing about Jason or his "legend". This of course was quite the turnabout since I was not a horror fan at the time we dated, but I cudn't resist seeing my ex's doodle "come to life" years after he drew it. My first time seeing a Jason movie in the theater, n when 6:22 happened, I burst out laffing so loud that some folks way younger than me asked me why after the movie was over. For someone who grew up when Jason hit the scene, the awesome irony of watching Jason's basic, brutish yet tried n true methods of killing campers meet the inescapable advancement of future technology where everything is a constant, glib reset--n his subsequent increasing frustration n anger at this juxtaposition, so much that he's using one camper to throttle the other camper, while they giggle gleefully like it tickled--just brought me so much joy n remembrance of how unjaded n optimistic I was as a 20-something in comparison to the generations entering their 20s now. I mean, no COVID, Donald Trump was still an entitled buffoon but not a horrible yet meme-able US president, n ppl were watching a sitcom called "Friends" instead of pretending anonymous 010101s online were actual ones. It just shows u how things change (i.e., I'm quite the horror movie fan, while my ex-now-friend luvs cheesy disaster films), how change isn't a bad thing (exception: Trump actually being a US president) n yet some things remain the enduring institutions that sustains our youth, our curiosity n our happiness. Can't wait for Jason to become AI integrated! N may his pure unrelenting attachment to hockey masks n machetes never die!!! 😂

I have no fucks in my love for Jason X. Had arguably some the best kills in the Franchise. The cast was a hodgepodge of Goosebumps & Andromeda. (Deep Cut) David Chronenberg as a defense liason. Last but certainly not least. A remix of and old classic definitive kill in a "Hollo-Deck". Jason X may be the whipping boy in the franchise ( That's reserved for Pt: 5 IMO.) But this underrated gem needs to be reexamine. For me Jason X is a certified classic.

Wow. It's really been ten years. This is insane. Keep it up Chris👌 I remember you doing the dark knight movie reviews, evolution is real

Hey man , lovely video. Congrats on being a dad and post production.

When I first started to watch this when it came out, I thought to myself, "This is going to be sad." But then Lisa Ryder's performance as the android made me fall in love with her and this movie. The kills were iconic, though you were right that they should not have cut away from the professor's demise. The VR scenes were genius. There were some great moments of comic gold. I thought the banter between the cast was pretty good and it was the more enjoyable ensembles I've seen in any slasher. Overall, I rank this as one of my favorite horror comedies. It knew it was "campy" good fun. I've since become such a fan of the concept that I've collected all the Jason X novels and really enjoy the little universe that it created. BTW, you've inspired me to get my ass outside and build my wife and I an outdoor lounge and theater for next spring!

Love this segment man and Jason X has always been my favorite in the franchise 🎉

Hooray for Goosebumps and being a new father ❤️

I love your Family Video signs in the back.

I'd really love to see a video on Coraline. You mentioned in your Nightmare before Christmas review that Coraline was your favorite Henry Selick film.

When I was a kid Jason in space was badass and then I got a little older and questioned why the hell they put Jason in space but now I actually appreciate it even more 👍🏼

Chris, you may not be familiar with it but there’s a channel called Sea of Tranquility, it’s mostly a music channel but they have a show called The Monster’s Den where they talk all about horror movies (rankings, themes, actors/actresses, studios, subgenres, etc.). Thought you might like it, the Monsters Den guys are a fun bunch. Love the channel, can’t wait for Shelby Oaks!

Glad your doing the October spooky movie review still.

It's that time of year again! 10 years! Wow!
