It isn’t every year that Friday the 13th falls within Halloween month, so in an effort to do something a little different, this Friday the 13th post will feature a pre-death scene of one of the higher-profile actresses whose character became another notch on Jason’s machete.
In this clip from the 2009 remake of Friday the 13th, Amanda (played by America Olivo) sends some very clear signals to her boyfriend that she’s not interested in sitting around the campfire, roasting marshmallows. Actually, it’s Amanda who soon gets roasted in one of the film’s more disturbing death scenes. As for America, she already had a successful musical carer as a member of the four-member girl group Soluna prior to this. When the ladies broke up in late 2004, she focused more on acting in films and more recently, TV shows. Check out her IMDb page.
