Tim Morrison stopped by today and posted in another blog about a special screening happening of the original Friday the 13th and also a special treat for fans:
For anybody in the Fairfield County area, Betsy Palmer is doing a Q@A at the Avon Theatre in Stamford, CT following a screening of the original Friday The [...]

I know that a lot of fans of the franchise have been longing for a quality Friday the 13th video game to play. As we are no where near this happening as of right now, I think fan created games are pretty remarkable in their own right. Germaniac, who has been a long time member [...]

Icons of Fright posted an interview with Betsy back in 2004 and since there aren’t a lot of in-depth interviews with her, I found this to be fascinating as a fan of not only Friday the 13th, but of cinema in general.
Actress Betsy Palmer has had a long and incredible career working along such established actors as [...]

As you don’t normally see too many of these types of masks made or even sold, I thought that this was a bit refreshing to find out there. This mask is made by Jason Wylde and is up for sale at eBay right now.  I think the mask is a pretty fair rendition of Ari [...]

VOTING HAS CLOSED
We’re winding down the first round now and so we are getting into the meat of the challenge. This will be a fun week in seeing which final guy is chosen to move on. The final guy is given that distinction by being the last surviving adult male left in the movie. The [...]

His custom figures are truly amazing and blow away anything that Neca or Mezco have been releasing lately. Now you get a sneak peak of his newest Jason creation. This New Blood rendition is nothing short of amazing. Lots of detail in the body and head. Tent stakes, axe, sickle and the trademark machete and more [...]

Last week had all of us voting on what some have called “interesting”, “weak”, “lame”, and even “digging it”. So, we will wait no further as I am sure a lot of you are waiting to see who won lat week’s challenges. I am happy to see that a character from Jason Takes Maanhattan has [...]

Our contest has expanded! Check out the new contest and review of Issue #4

With a little paint, time, and imagination, it’s pretty awesome what you can add to your Friday the 13th collection. Recently, Mezco release their 3 3/4 Cinema of Fear series featuring Freddy Krueger, Leatherface, and of course, Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.
Today, I ran across an extra figure on the store [...]

I know that everyone is torn over the new movie. It has it’s bright spots and it’s dull spots. The franchise is still in a great position now as the producers will have more freedom to take the movie in any direction they would like now that the whole reboot aspect is gone from the [...]

I know that all of the Friday fans were happy that the reboot utilized the original hockey mask look from the original franchise. I, however, think that if the movie was going to be a true reboot, they should have changed up the look of the mask. I think this “Warhawk” mask would be the [...]

This interview is about a year old as this was conducted as part of AMC fearfest last October, but how many times will you see Rob Zombie interview Kane Hodder. Not too much new in the interview that we haven’t heard before, but I like to see Kane candid and relaxed as he is with [...]

I thought I would continue posting some of the great fan films that have been released over the past couple of years. Today, we’ll showcase Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day is based on the story made into a novel of the same name, which was written by William Pattison (aka Eric Morse). Check out the interview [...]

Since we are in the Halloween season now, I thought it relevant to see what Jason costumes are out there for people to buy. I realize that now, more than ever, fans are trying to put together the most realistic and screen accurate costumes out there. However, some people just don’t have the money to [...]

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 [...]

For Friday series fans, Horror hound will be offering the following guests:
-Richard Brooker (Jason Part [...]

VOTING IS CLOSED.
The opening round of the Bracket Challenge is beginning to wind down. Only a few more divisions are left before the start of round two. Rememeber, this is supposed to last through the end of the year, so hold on for the long ride.
There are so many memorable moments in Part 3, which [...]

One of the features on the 2004 DVD boxset of Friday the 13th featured an awesome custom Friday the 13th guitar owned by Brooks Burton. He was able to get a ton of Friday vet’s signatures and it makes for a rare Friday collectable. Now, 5 years later, it is up for sale.

I love this mask combo. I have to say that this is one of the best I have ever seen. This is a spectacular rendition from The New Blood. The Hockey Mask is really detailed and has a great weathered look. The Under Mask is mentioned to be by Michael Smith and is truly awesome. It has [...]
