This is a dream cross over of mine. Imagine if you will...... Its 1993..... That summer it came..... Ernest and Jason in.... FRIDAY THE PG-13TH It being '93 I work with the actors at that time. Some big league players were just starting and it would have been feasible them being in it. PLOT... Ernest taking a summer road trip to visit the Tulip Bros. new store front. In a new town stumbles upon a job opportunity and a reason to stay in the town hes falling in love with A recently purchased and refurbished Camp Crystal Lake is hiring counselors and staff. After being hired as groundskeeper/ back up counselor he befriends the kids and on a tour accidentally wakes Jason Voorhees. Slowly it builds to a showdown to protect the kids as counselors band together to save the day. Its straight forward. You can write your own plot ..... Know what I mean Vern? Here's my slashed comedy mix tape Voorhees VS Worrell Vote YES if you dig
