Not many fans of the franchise are able to get onto the camp ground of Camp NoBeBoSco, and if they do, they have to be pretty quick about getting their shots before getting kicked out. For those of you that have not seen this video, this was shot as a class project for a local [...]

Bracket Challenge Round 3: Ginny vs Ali
The other matchup this week is really, really close. Closer than I thought it would be. Will this new matchup be anywhere near as close? Ali had multiple lives against Jason. Can Ginny deliver the knockout blow as she did to Jason in his shack? This should be another fun vote. Which character should move [...]
Regal Entertainment Listing New Friday as a 3D release.
Regal Entertainment, or as I remember them as Regal Cinemas, has already listed Friday the 13th Part 2 – 3D on their 3D release slate for next year. I think this is really jumping the gun as there is no greenlight for the film, that we’re being told, or an approved script? Regal must know [...]
Friday the 13th Sequel To Be Last?
While reading the Guts and Gory Forum. I came across an article that was written by the website www.pajiba.com/. There is a surprising revelation about the upcoming sequel that I personally do not believe. This may not be true, a rumor, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
(*Potential Spoilers* Ahead)
A sequel to this year’s Friday [...]
DVD Contest Winner Announced!
The recent DVD contest that fridaythe13thfilms.com ran was a huge success. We received 125 entries and there were a lot of great responses on what your favorite scenes were between the two movies. Sadly, we did have to choose only one winner. The winner has been contacted by email, but we will not post the winner’s name [...]
Friday The 13th: The Series – The Final Season
Gee, from the look of John D. LeMay on the bottom right hand corner, he must have buffed himself up since Season 2… oh wait, that’s Steve Monarque as the dynamically-named “Johnny Ventura”! I’ll have to pick this up as solace since the DVD set of fellow 80’s genre TV show WEREWOLF is now canned.
Friday the 13th 2009 EPK (Electronic Press Kit)
I recently received the EPK for the most recent Friday the 13th from Mario Kirner. Normal press kits would come in an envelope containing production stills and a booklet of information. Those types of press kits have all but disappeared. The new press kits now usually come on USB flash drives and contain trailers, jpg [...]
Fun Black Rhino Jason Hoodie
Daniel wrote in and directed us to this Jason hoodie for sale and it is a really fun idea. Not only is it a sweatshirt with a hockey mask hoodie, but the sweatshirt can be zipped up all the way to the top of the hoodie and the person wearing it can see through the [...]
Walt Disney film references Friday the 13th and Friday the 13th part 2
I seen the tv spot for this movie tonight and caught a clip where the John Travolta character says “but they haven’t seen Friday the 13th part 1 or part 2.
Being a Walt Disney movie, this is a huge surprise to have one of our franchises titles being referenced by a well-established actor such as [...]
Friday Conversation: Review of Jason Takes Manhattan
For many this was the end of an era in the franchise. The last of the Paramount movies that closed out an amazing run in the 1980’s that saw eight movies released in ten years. It had never been done before and, until recently with the Saw franchise, it looked like it may never be [...]
Full View of Japanese “His Name Was Jason” Release
Our friend daizab received his copy of His Name Was Jason and shared with me some pics and information about the package and extra features. This release is missing three features the US release included: “Freddy vs Jason in 30 seconds with bunnies”, “Jason takes COMIC-CON”, and “Shelly lives”. What this release lacks in features [...]
His Name Was… Freddy!? (Updated with TRAILER!)
Yes, we’re a FRIDAY THE 13TH site, but HIS NAME WAS JASON was all kinds of rock, so now that the same creative team are back to conquer Freddy-land, I felt I had to chime in with a show of support. Besides, you just know it’ll be touching on FREDDY VS JASON, though it’ll be [...]

In a very recent interview conducted by Mark Morton that was posted this past Friday the 13th at www.examiner.com, Harry discusses his evolution of composing going from the original Friday the 13th to Swamp Thing to Deep Star Six to Jason X and then to more recent movies like Choker.
Thanks to Mark for sharing his [...]

If anyone listened to the broadcast let us know what they talked about as [...]

A New Beginning Signed Cast Photos up for Auction
The cast represented in these photos have become more available for signatures of late at conventions, but if you are unable to attend horror conventions and do not want to pay the usual rate of $10-$20 for a signature per photo, this could be the way to go. The current ebay auction has a starting [...]

Never Sleep Again Doco Interviews Kane Hodder
Daniel Farrands is hard at work on his new documentary, Never Sleep Again: The Nightmare Legacy. According to the productions Twitter page, they recently interviewed Kane Hodder. I am assuming the interview had to do with the long in development Freddy vs Jason movie. I will have to look for that interview when the doco is [...]

Sleepaway Camp on Friday the 13th
We’ve pretty much come to an agreement that Freddy Vs Jason couldn’t satisfy to the fullest extent, so why not match up two killers who play on the same playground….camp!
Jason was first introduced as a boy who drowned in a lake. Angela was introduced as a girl/boy who ended up in an accident in a [...]
Jason Goes To Hell DVD Cropping Gaffe
I always laugh when I see movies on DVD, or even television, where the cropping has altered the framing of a movie which causes objects to appear that normally aren’t there. The biggest culpret is seeing boom mics appear in the frame of a picture at the top of the screen. It is quite comical and [...]

Freddy Vs Jason RE-IMAGINING
Most of us (or at least me) were disappointed with the film Freddy Vs Jason. Since New Line has released the reimagining of Friday the 13th and A nightmare on Elm street is coming soon, let’s forget about the 2003 film for a second and focus on the Mears-Jason versuses the Haley-Freddy.
From what we’ve heard, [...]
