Friday the 13th: The Series Ep. 60 Night Prey Review

Night Prey originally aired on November 13, 1989. After a string of great episodes, we get a huge letdown. This episode is nothing short of terrible. The cursed antique is a cross that came from the crusades, the Cross of Fire. This cross after having killed a human gives the owner the power to burn vampires. I know, we're dealing with vampires yet again. I find it quite disturbing and insulting that a cursed object is a cross. I don't think that's acceptable. This is one of the more controversial episodes of the series. In 1989, this episode premiered and had a lesbian kiss between two female vampires. The main villain is dead set on killing vampires because he believes a vampire killed his wife. In reality, the wife was turned into a vampire. He is then at the end of the episode turned into one as well. It's his ultimate downfall. I don't like the bookends of Jack questioning what is right and wrong and that it's not clear cut. It is. This was just such a huge let down in comparison to the rest of this season so far.
