An ode to Kevin Bacon's short shorts in 'Friday the 13th'
Friday the 13th is an auspicious day for horror fans everywhere, but even if you hate scary movies, you should love this holiday for one simple reason: Kevin Bacons bulge. Let me explain. The very first Friday the 13th movie was released in 1980 and starred a baby-faced Kevin Bacon as a doomed camp counselor. Bacon doesnt have that many lines, and his character, Jack, is killed off halfway through the film, but his short shorts and tiny bathing suit which leaves little to the imagination have made a lasting impression on viewers.In the OG slasher film, Bacon sports cut-off tiny jean shorts and a speedo that shows more than it conceals. And hes not the only one! There are shirtless men in little shorts and tiny bathing everywhere in the film it was definitely a sexual awakening for 1980s baby gays. Honestly, bring back the little short shorts in horror films! And while youre at it, lets bring back half shirts for men la Johnny Depp in Nightmare of Elm Street.So to celebrate this glorious and spooky holiday, were taking a look back at the seminal slasher movie and the mens fashion choices that captured a generation of queer mens imaginations!Short shorts!Like we said, every young man in this movie has a pair of itty bitty jean shorts and were not mad about it!The most iconic lookSteve Christy, the man who thought it was a brilliant idea to reopen camp Crystal Lake years after a kid drowned, wears nothing but jean shorts, hiking boots, and a neckerchief. It's a LEWK! Although hes straight in the movie, this iconic 'fit would fit right in with the Village People. Just sayin.Shirtless men everywhereCamp counselor Bill spends most of the film without a shirt on. From this surprisingly hot overalls look to losing his shirt in a game of strip Monopoly, Bill manages to look good until he meets his grisly end at the end of Mr. Voorhees' knife.The infamous bulgeThe moment weve all been waiting for: Kevin Bacon in a speedo! His iconic bulge likely inspired many young men to rewind and play their VHS copy of the movie so many times they wore out the tape. And we dont blame them!And now for the close up!It doesn't disappoint.More eye candyKevin Bacon isnt the only one showing off an impressive package!Short shorts galore!Even with more clothing on, Kevin Baconsahemmember takes center stage!No one wears a shirt and we're loving itWed like to thank Paramount Pictures and director Sean S. Cunningham for allowing camp counselor Bill to be shirtless in nearly every scene!The final penetrationListen, you cant do drugs and have sex in a horror movie and expect to survive! Kevin Bacons character Jack may have had sex with a woman, but he dies by being penetrated with an arrow while in bed. What were saying is, for a movie about seemingly straight (and very horny) camp counselors, this movie is super gay.A different angleGotta love those old school special effects!
