The original Friday the 13th was really a *parody* of that concept - there is no vengeful supernatural ghost punishing the teens for fornicating, the uptight middle aged mom is committing the killings herself - that got retroactively read as defining the genre

Standard “conservatism fights dirty” problem I guess People with a commitment to the idea of a morally prescriptive universe with a bow on it will be willing and able to believe they’re looking at it, because that’s what they think a universe means
