Friday the 13th: The Series Ep. 39 Eye of Death Review

Eye of Death originally aired on January 30, 1989. This is the second time traveling episode for the series. This time, they go back to the Civil War. The time traveling sequences are presented in sepia the entire time. It's more subtle than the black and white time traveling episode, but I didn't notice it until I read more about this episode. The cursed antique is a Civil War Era magic lantern that has the ability to take the owner back in time for three hours. The owner must kill before and after his time there. The villain in this particular episode goes to the time frame to sell mint condition Civil War antiques. If you don't make it back within the three hour time frame, you are stuck in that time forever. Most of the episode was eh...but the ending visual was spectacular. The villain doesn't make it back, but he's not stuck back in time either. He's stuck in the wall. You see his cemented face and hands trying to get back. It was truly stunning. The villain was once again one of Jack's old friends. Jack truly has the worst taste in friends. This was an all-right episode. If you're a history fan, it's probably best to skip it...the series has never been too kind and honest about history.
