Friday The 13th Blog

We took a week off with the Challenge as the previous week’s challenge, Production Companies, was extended. Now, we are back with the next piece of the ultimate Friday the 13th movie.

I would first like to start off saying that this is not the ”A New Beginning” report I teased last week. That will be coming soon! Today we have an exclusive interview with Bob Desimone from that very same movie. I must point out that Christian Sellers interviewed Bob for this website a few years ago, but [...]

It is well known that Alice Cooper contributed numerous songs to Jason Lives which helped make that movie one of the most memorable in the franchise. Another great contribution he made to horror was his role in Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare in 1991. In that movie he played an abusive guardian that evenually pushes Freddy [...]
