Manny's Orphans (1978)

Back before Sean S. Cunningham wanted to attempt to cash in on the Halloween slasher craze, he attempted to cash in on the sports team full of down-and-out pre-teens craze – al a The Bad News Bears – with Manny's Oprhans and then Here Come the Tigers. 

Manny's Orphans is a tad better than Here Come the Tigers, in my opinion, but both movies failed to capture that fun that The Bad News Bears captured.

Manny's Orphans was made with a slightly lower budget than Friday the 13th, but had the same team of Cunningham (director), Victor Miller (writer), and Steve Miner (editor, assistant) and even some of cast members: Ari Lehman and Irwin Keyes. 

Apparently Manny's Orphans was based on a short story by Miner.

Marta Kober's Mugshot from Bedford, Oregon

Over the years there had been many stories about Marta in the Friday the 13th community and what she was up to. For a stint, she seemed to have had some substance problems and run-ins with the law. I hope that she has gotten her life back in order.

According to North Bend, Oregon police reports where she was arrested for criminal trespassing, she was listed as a transient. She had also been living in Hawaii and now seems to be living in Alaska. According to Craigslist ads from Juneau, she is looking for a man!

In the recent years she has been attending conventions more often, and now does side work in housekeeping and "errand running" according to her Thumbtack profile.

Thanks Brandon for the tip!

Jeffrey Rogers from Part III: Today

Thanks anon for this tip! I found him a while back, but never saw this video. For all of those wondering about him, he's still looking young.

Being an ex-BMXer myself, I found this to be an amazing find. The advert for CW Bikes even plugged her role in Friday the 13th: Part V!

Friday the 13th Sequel? Remake? Reboot? Shitfest? Confirmed!

Wetmovie1 gives us the news. Even he is trilled! Yeah!

So, it is confirmed—us Friday the 13th marks get out way. We have been hoping, and praying for this franchise to continue on. Some of us have even said, "Even if it is shitty, just give us a new one!" Well, our wishes have been granted; ask and ye shall receive.

Everyone knows my opinions on this, but I will reiterate. The "found footage" gimmick is so 1996; Friday the 13th is again putting on a spent condom line they did in the reboot/remake. The tired gimmick that the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake used, Friday the 13th slopped up.

This is not new to the franchise, either. Way back in 1987, the franchise even stole an idea from itself when it essentially remade The Final Chapter with the shitfest The New Blood.

a) We do not need another "found footage" movie, PERIOD.

b) We do not need another fucking reboot! We had that with every fucking movie after Part IV!

I thought the franchise officially ran out of ideas with Jason Goes To Hell, Jason X and FvJ! I guess not.

I guess Paramount wants this movie to bomb to finally hammer the nails into the coffin of Jason Voorhees once and for all. The character is already the laughing stock of the horror genre.
