Um...ok.
Just for fun, watch the hospital segment at the end of the original Friday the 13th. At one point, you see the nurse look right at the camera then away really fast. That's quite possibly the biggest mistake an actor or actress can make. As a matter of fact, I'm surprised the scene wasn't re-shot.
Anyway, it cracks me up every time.
Incidentally, I wouldn't go so far as to call Freddy and Jason copycats of one another. The original Nightmare on Elm Street was a pretty neat, not to mention creative, concept. The sequels were drivel, but the original wasn't. The F13 films were slash-by-numbers from the very start. They were fun, but nothing original or special.
And, seeing as how Halloween was made before both F13 and ANOES, it could hardly have imitated those films. Halloween was, at one point, the highest grossing indy flick ever. F13 was a commercial vehicle from the start. It, much like the Screams of today, was aimed right at the teen crowd of the '80s. The F13 films were made and marketed in response to the success of Halloween.

Following on from your comments about that scene at the end of F13, what are people's favourite "Sweet Jesus, why did no-one spot THAT?!" moments from horror flicks?
There's a golden classic in Evil Dead II, where Bruce Campbell snatches up the pages of The Book of the Dead with his right hand... this in spite of the fact that he gruesomely lopped that hand off with his trusty chainsaw an hour previously.
You can just imagine the cry from the editing room, six weeks into post-production: "GAAAAAAAAARRRGH!"
The Amazing Three-Armed Corpse Guy on the bed in Seven is another famous "what's wrong with this picture?" instance.

At the end of Halloween, Loomis shoots Michael six times, but you hear the gun fire seven.

When watching a movie like this on video, you must keep in mind that movies are sometimes shot full frame (full square frame)with the intent of showing them in a theater where the picture will be rectangle. In the theater, the top and bottom of the picture is masked off by the feed plate in the projecter creating the rectangle area you see on the screen. When film makers shoot full frame, they don't worry about the micro phones and equipment visible at the top (or bottom) of the frame because they know it's going to be masked out when it's shown in the theater. Then what happens is some video or tv distributer picks the film up, and rather than taking the extra effort to pan and scan the rectangle area that the director intended for you to see, they just transfer the whole frame directly to the video which causes the information (that the director never intended for you to see) on the top and bottom of the film frame to be visible. This isn't as common today as it was in the past. Today, many directors will mask the image on the final print, creating a letter box effect on the actual film that is played in the theaters. Now if a projector is framed to high or to low, you will just get a black space on the top or bottom of the screen rather than seeing that microphone. This forces the video distributor to pan and scan on the transfer if they want a full screen image on the televison.
I hope this makes sense.
