The Gloves from Killer Kelsey
21 March 2024
The janitor and wannabe a boxer of the Manny's Gym, Tommy Dunn, steals the pair of gloves that belonged to Killer Kelsey from the owner and trainer Manny King. He wears the gloves in the locker room and his shadow separates from him, meeting Manny in an alley and punching him to death while Tommy punches a bag. Manny's widow Sadie calls Jack and offers his collection to be sold by the Curious Goods since he bought the pair of gloves from Lewis. However, Jack, Micki and Ryan do not find the cursed gloves and go to the Gym to look for the gloves. Soon Micki takes a picture of Tommy's gloves and sees the name "Killer" printed on them. Meanwhile, Tommy proceeds his killings and the boxer Tony Terrific, with whom he had a beef, is murdered beaten to death. But how to retrieve the gloves from the dangerous boxer?

"Shadow Boxer" is another reasonable episode of "Friday the 13th: The Series". Despite the flaws already listed in "Goofs", the episode holds the attention of the viewer. The conclusion is moralist since Tommy Dunn neither dies nor stay normal, and Ryan is not blamed by the punch. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "A Sombra do Lutador" ("The Shadow Boxer")
