Friday the 13th: The Series Ep. 10 Tales of the Undead Review

Tales of the Undead originally aired on January 25, 1988. This is the first episode that Jack is not a part of. The cursed object is actually very filmic in this episode. It's a comic book that upon getting angry can turn you into the invincible comic book hero. However, it's much more like Jason than Superman as Ferrus murders people left and right in this episode. Comic books are not my expertise. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a ton of in-joke references throughout the episodes, particularly pertaining to the names and the story of the comic book's creator, however, I can't be positive. I would love to watch this episode with a true comic book geek. Whenever the comic turns someone into Ferrus, like comic strips, it shows painted stills as it's transition. It's actually very cool. Ferrus is destroyed by a comic book award. It sounds so stupid to read and write out, but it's actually a very cool episode to watch. Jack was missed, but wasn't needed.
