Friday the 13th: The Series Ep. 49 The Maestro

The Maestro originally aired on May 22, 1989. This episode ran high on the emotions. No, it didn't add anything overall to the history of the show, but that's ok because the emotions were real. The cursed antique pretty much sucks this episode. The antique is a symphonia (a music box) that creates choreography...only the people who are dancing dance to their deaths. No joke, that's what it does. I know, I know, you can stop laughing now. Jack's niece appears in this episode. I know, another characteristic of Jack simply being a plot device. She ends up giving her life for the end of the dance along with our main villain. They receive a standing ovation as they breathe their last breath. Jack's heart wrenching reaction to his niece's death is yet another wonderful piece of acting and it alone saves the entire episode.
