Further, they have names like Ginny and Vickie and Crazy and Sandy.

The purpose of all this diversity is to appeal to everyone. "Friday the 13th Part lit 1 1 I COME TO THE LIQUOR BARREL SALOON AND DANCE TO THE MUSIC OF BILL TEMPLETON AND COUNTY LINE PLAYING: Country Western and 50's-60's Rock 'N' Roll Review jr 4 v. .4 FRIDAY ANL SAT. NIGHTS DARTS AND DARTS TOURNAMENTS "Oh, gross!" screamed two teen moviegoers during a particularly gruesome moment in "Friday the 13th Part 2." Gross is a pretty good way to describe it. Scary, bloody and violent come to mind, too.

Also, very effective. Last year the low-budget original made more than $35 million in its first seven weeks of play across the United States and Canada. No wonder, then, that the horror folk came up with a sequel to the "Camp Blood" adventures. I must admit to not having seen the original, but alas, I was not to be spared. The opening of the sequel includes lengthy flashbacks about the murderous Mrs.

Voorhees, who had decimated seven camp counselors and then gotten the ax herself because Oh, goodness, it's too silly to go into, except to say that Voorhees had a son, Jason, who instead of drowning turned into an aquatic devil out to destroy anyone in the vicinity of "Camp Blood," or, more reasonably, known as Camp Crystal Lake. The opening of Part 2 serves to refresh our memories, and let us know that Jason is still flexing his decapitation muscles. The action takes place five years later, with a group of young adults beginning their counselor training at Lake Region. Camp leader Paul (John Furey) warns everyone about dangerous bears and the legend of Jason. Everyone titters on screen, while off screen the two teens shrieked at them out, you Anyway, this cozy little campsite in- THROUGH THE WEEK SUN.

NIGHT 8-12 MOBILE MUSIC COMPLETE WITH D.J. li) 2" will appeal to horror lovers, though I don't know if it wilrattract psychology grad students and blond-haired men. It is gory, and its sole purpose is to scare us to show, as graphically as possible, ax murders, ice-pick stabbings, decapitations, All-American camp counselors falling by the bloody wayside. It escapes me why anyone chooses to sit through this horror, though thousands do so every day of the week. Carl Fullerton is the makeup wizard here, and his Jason deserves praise, as he's an effectively disgusting sight.

Otherwise, no one else needs to be singled out. Jaded though I was, a particular moment near the end of the film sent me scurrying under my seat, whimpering in my cold sweat. Does this mean the movie works? "Friday the 13th Part 2" is playing at the Campbell Plaza, Park Mall and Tucson 5. 886-8118 6925 E.
