Music recommendation: A New Beginning by Wolfie's Just Fine


If you're a fan of Friday the 13th: A New Beginning -- and there's not many of us, since that movie's so divisive -- then you should check out this video and song by Canadian band Wolfie's Just Fine. The song, titled after the fifth Jason flick, is about that silly love a young horror fan will feel for an actress in a horror movie, and the devastating effect the inevitable killing of that actress's character has.

And if you were a male of a certain age when you saw it, chances are that Friday Part 5's Debi Sue Voorhees made an impression on you. This video nicely recreates the full death scene of her character, Tina. The kid starring in the video is also pretty good; look how horrified he is by the girl's death and the sight of Jason! I feel like this song and video even trumps The Ramones' "Chain Saw," which was Dee Dee Ramone's ode to Teri McMinn's Pam from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

A big thanks to Siskoid of Siskoid's Blog of Geekery for linking to this song and making me aware of it.
