What, you think just because the movie’s out that fridaythe13thfilms.com is gonna let up with the good stuff? Think again! Today I archived 29 Publicity Stills in our Friday The 13th Gallery which will continue to grow into a multimedia haven for Jason fanatics.

….Well, yeah but as of yet there is no greenlight, as some insiders say. It is very likely that Marcus Nispel will not return to direct the much talked about sequel.

Give this interview a read. Friday reboot writers Mark Swift And Damien Shannon discuss their screenplay work on the flick, things that were cut even before filming, references to the other flicks, and even candid thoughts on their Freddy Vs Jason. It’s five static pages long, and a pretty smooth (and funny) read.

After the excellent article by jasonsfury I wiped away the nostalgia-fueled tears and decided to do a follow-up on the history of this awesome site I get to run.

Hello guys and gals!!
Just a little heads up concerning the new Paramount Friday DVD’s.
Sadly in the UK parts 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 have allready been released with brand new (if very bare) cover art, however DO NOT EXPECT ANY SPECIAL FEATURES. They are all pretty much bare bones discs. So don’t be picking them [...]

Ever tried to take a slice out of a cake that could take a slice out of you? Cake designers Antoni and Edward Frys created this masterpiece that looks to good to eat.

I am sure there are a lot of us fans that have already done this, but AMC put together there Ultimate Fan Quiz recently and I thought everyone would like to take a “stab” at it. Follow the link below to take the quiz. I got one wrong and was shamed by my wife. I told [...]

Does anyone remember when this website was www.fridaythe13th.com? I remember. Brenna and Blake had to go through a big change to a new domain. I don’t remember why. If anyone knows, please shed some light on the situation. Anyways, I ran across an article from 2006 that interviewed Blake and Brenna about the series and [...]

How did Jason fare in weekend 2 of the reboot’s run? Early figures are in from Variety and Friday The 13th placed fifth with $2.73 million.

Check out this fairly authentic-recreation of the Derek Mears Jason costume. Dude even wore it to the midnight premiere! Great job! Thanks to ’samowemeg’ for the vid.

I know a lot of you do not like the soundtrack, but for those who care it is available at iTunes and Amazon. Two things make me mad about the release. One, there is only one track for Jablonsky’s score. Two, you have to buy the whole CD. You can’t even buy the one track. [...]

Check out this fun piece by Larry Carroll over at MTV. Do you have any tips of your own? Be sure to add them in our comments section below!
Are you wondering if the new “Friday the 13th” has more or less drugs, sex and killing than the original films? Are you wondering if any of [...]

My favorite writer in the universe has got to be Stephen Romano, author of the groovin’ faux-Grindhouse bible Shock Festival and screenwriter of the premiere Masters Of Horror telemovie Incident On And Off A Mountain Road. As one of the few to make the concept of “wild deformed killer in the woods” absolutely terrifying (See [...]

If you caught last night’s edition (Feb 16) of “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” on NBC you actually missed a rare Friday the 13th mention by actor Kevin Bacon! Joining the show about 20 minutes in, Leno ultimately brought up Bacon’s past in Friday the 13th and a clip of Bacon’s death scene was shown! [...]

Like the filmmakers have been claiming for months, the new Friday the 13th flick (a remake of sorts) heavily references the first four movies, from its major plot points to individual scenes. Here’s a selection of homage highlights, but how many more did you pick up on?

How crazy is this? It appears that Warrington Gillette (Jason in the closing scene of part 2) was attacked by a crazed fan at a party in honor of the release of the new Friday the 13th! Check out the story below compliments of the NY Post and Wenn.com.

Just wanted to offer up a little something to break up the whole “It was good/It was bad” talk regarding the new Friday the 13th flick by offering up something that I found quite funny and entertaining. A reader posting under the name “The Question(the real rorshach )” popped this link up so I figured [...]

Caught a blog over at Platinum Dunes official blog. Brad Fuller discusses the success of the new film, along with fans opinions and how he does read them. He also talks highly positive about how he wants to do a sequel.

Reflecting back on a killer weekend, can you say sequel?

It’s 5am Sunday morning and my [...]

After getting a slew of emails I assumed were practical jokes I decided to investigate and sure enough, many folks out there are under the impression that New Jason is killing to protect his blunt. Jason & Silent Bob here we come? No way punk. Here’s the best summarization I’ve seen of this strange phenomenon:
