This is amazing.
Someone called Dinosaur Dracula wrote a blog post identifying almost every single vintage product in the refrigerator scene from Friday the 13th Part 2.
The scene was filmed in what is now the McCall Foundation house in Torrington, Connecticut sometime in late 1980. As someone who grew up in Connecticut (partly in Torrington, oddly enough) during the 80's, I recognize some of these brands (like the Stop & Shop apple sauce!)
You can see the full post here.
His attention to detail is phenomenal. But there's one item he didn't identify: the square ceramic container at left. I found it thanks to a friend of mine who collects vintage housewares:
It's a vintage 1930's leftovers jar made by a company called Hall. So it was already antique by the time filming happened in 1980. If you are super serious about accurate scene recreation, google "Hall China Hotpoint square refrigerator jar" and you can find a bunch of them.
MYSTERY SOLVED. Now if we can just find that damned head.
