Friday the 13th: The Series Ep. 25 What a Mother Wouldn't Do Review

What a Mother Wouldn't Do originally aired on July 18, 1988. I really enjoyed this episode. It harkened back to Mrs. Voorhees, and as you well know, I LOVE that character. This mother, as opposed to exacting revenge will stop at nothing to keep her baby alive, including killing others as well as herself at the very end of the episode. The cursed antique is a baby crib. The story goes that a mother was so desperate to save her infant who was very sick while the Titanic was sinking that she attempted to pass the child to a lifeboat. None of the passengers were willing to take the child, even dropping the crib in the water. Instantly the lifeboats ropes detached and crashed into the water drowning seven people. The baby and crib were safe and sound. The curse if that the crib will keep the child alive, no matter how drastically ill the child is if you kill seven people in water. I enjoyed the Titanic reference, but that's NO WHERE near accurate and could be deemed offensive. I think this is the very first episode that we actually see someone seriously discuss buying an antique from Uncle Lewis. The first episode he refused to sell more. I thought this episode was very good though. I'd definitely watch it again.
