Friday the 13th: The Series Ep. 67 The Long Road Home Review

The Long Road Home originally aired on February 12, 1990. Jack is not seen on screen but his voice can be heard during a phone call. This was a truly fantastic episode. It had a Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibe to it, which was a lot of fun to see on this episode. The stakes were a lot higher with this episode than a lot of the previous ones this season. Johnny and Micki have a kiss in a pool. Johnny's been tied down there and it's Micki's reassuring him that he'll be fine. Johnny thinks it means more. They also almost have a kiss nearby a fire. It's a great scene, incredibly tense for reasons this show has never gone into before. The cursed antique is a yin yang charm. The charm enables the user to transfer his soul into a freshly killed victim. The victim gets resurrected in the course of the act. There was a bit of body switching in this episode as well. Johnny puts his soul in that of a crazy brother whose house they stumble upon when they run out of gas. This brother's into taxidermy. He preserved all the dead bodies of his family. Johnny does get his body back by the end of the episode. The other brother gets his soul transferred into the slightly preserved corpse of their grandfather. It's quite horrifying seeing sand or sawdust or whatever stuffing inside his body comes out when you expect blood to come out. It's very jarring visually. Overall, this was truly a GREAT episode and I highly recommend it.
