One of my favorite things to collect are press kits from movies. Unfortunately, it’s not much of a collector’s hobby anymore as most presskits nowadays consist of either a DVD or flash drive sent out to promote distributor’s movies. However, prior to a few years ago, companies would send out full press kit folders containing beautiful photos [...]

 UPDATE: I know some readers prefer video reviews. So here it is in video form as well! Enjoy 

It’s been a while since Cinema of Fear series 3 hit the market and brought Jason fans a great figure sized version of Jason from Jason Goes to Hell. It was shortly after that release, we were [...]

All eight Paramount movies have been out on Region 2 DVD for some time now, but I never looked at all of the cover art as a whole collection until recently. And since I am on a DVD kick today I thought I would review the covers and their signifigance to each movie.

The Pick Axe fits [...]

I think these are great covers. I really, really like the cover for Part 2 as I have always wanted to see the sack on the cover for home video. I just think the style of these covers rock and I would hope that if there was an inevitable re-release again that Paramount would look [...]

For those of you that have not had the oppportunity to do so, our website gives you, the fans, a unique opportunity to visit the various filming locations for your beloved franchise. The best part is that you can do so without leaving your house at all! Alot of the fans have been to this [...]

This news is a few years old, but I thought it would be a fun little story to pass on to everyone.

Private School Buys ‘Friday the 13th’ Camp
 BLAIRSTOWN TOWNSHIP, NJ (AP)  — Don’t look for Blair Academy students to wear hockey masks with their blazers. And Jason won’t be the school’s mascot.
But the private school [...]

I was really excited when I heard Jason Goes to Hell was being made. And it was not easy to find information on the movie at the time. There was no Internet access at my house yet, or many places for that matter. I did not get the movie magazine either, so I was eager to learn [...]

By now most people are aware of the Jason vinyl model kits that were released in the early 90’s. There was the original Scream’ kit and then the Jason Goes To Hell Screamin’ kit released to tie in with the movie. However, before these kits were released by Screamin’ Kaiyodo released their own version in [...]

I know we posted this at the beginning of the year, but for those fans that are unfamiliar, the Angry Nintendo Nerd has reviewed  many games from the original NES system that was released in the late 80’s. There was no review that made me laugh more than his review for the Friday the 13th [...]

I know that Horror Conventions are becoming more and more prevalant recently, but I thought this convention was worth mentioning as America Olivo from the recent Friday the 13th will be in attendance. To this point, Derek Mears has really been the only actor from the new movie to appear at conventions on a regular basis. [...]

The guys at Deadpit were called in to record a commentary track for the Special Edition of A New Beginning prior to it’s release, but sadly Paramount balked at adding it to the disc. Now, they’re striking back and have added the commentary track to their website for everyone to listen to. These guys know [...]

This is a great looking set from Jason Takes Manhattan. The set was created by Creeping Death Productions. The hock is made from ABS and comes with leather straps and buckles. I think this has a very real look and feel to it. Although I dislike the look of Jason at the end of the movie, [...]

This is a spectacular bust that I found for auction on eBay recently. The mask is made by Frosty Designs and the cool thing about this mask is that the slit in the side of Jason’s head can be flexed open to insert a machete if you choose to display him with machete in head.
I [...]
