Friday the 13th: The Series Ep. 35 13 'O Clock Review

13 'O Clock originally aired on January 2, 1989. In the transition from 1988-1989, the show won an emmy for: Outstanding Achievement in Graphic Design and Title Sequence. This particular episode, is the second time Rob Heddon has directed for and the third time written for the franchise. This is a very important episode for the series, not in the sense of story, but in the sense of popularity and respect. The cursed antique is an old pocket watch. If you kill someone and are at the station at 1:00 am, time itself stops. You are the only person moving in the 13th hour. By 1:01 am, everyone gets back to moving, just like they were. When time stops, everyone but the person holding the stopwatch goes black and white and are frozen in time. The holder, in color, moves through a black and white world. It's visually stunning and a major achievement for TV at the time. I like this episode a lot. It brings back the trio that makes the characterization on the show so strong, it's technically astounding, and it was a fun episode. I can't really complain about anything. This episode in particular won the series it's second emmy for: Outstanding Achievement in Special Visual Affects in 1989. A huge episode for the TV series. The series seemed, at the time, like it couldn't stop.
