Friday the 13th: The Series Ep. 36 Night Hunger Review

Night Hunger originally aired on January 9, 1989. This episode was pretty interesting for the most part. This marks the halfway point for the series. This is the first episode in the series where the object is not marked down in the manifest. This opens up the possibilities to multiple more cursed antiques...and episodes as long as the audience continues to watch. The cursed antique is a silver key chain. It has the power, if one kills and strokes a blank key with the victims blood, to make the owner beat anyone in a drag race. It's kinda dumb. It also gives the owner telepathic powers to control and drive the car at will without ever being inside the car. Ryan's father gets mentioned in this episode. We get introduced to Lewis's neighboring store owner, who is the villain's father in the episode. He ends up driving straight into his son while he's drag racing to end the evil and to get rid of his own guilt. It's a really awesome car explosion and is quite the climax. However, the cursed antique is lackluster. I feel like a majority of the episodes in this part of the series are really good, but the objects aren't which is a shame, because it leaves the episodes quite uneven.
