If you’ve been holding back a little on buying a full painted hockey mask to add to your collection, now may be the time to make it happen. Enter “Twisted Visions: Custom Masks and Props”. Twisted Visions offer up hocks in both plastic and fiberglass, full painted at some of the most affordable prices I’ve [...]

Another update has been announced for the reunion next year, Friday August 13th through Sunday August 15th. I am loving these additions. So many actors and actresses that have never been accessable to the fans are going to be there. It is truly going to be an exciting time for the fans. www.fridaythe30th.com

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.

I know that I have been behind on the results the last couple of weeks. Things have been quite busy as of late. I will try to get these out on a more consistent basis. So, here are the results current up to last week.
Week 5 Results

I have been reading that alot of people are passing on buying the new DVD’s for Jason Takes Manhattan and The New Blood as they are waiting for either the Blu-Ray release or the ever impending newer box set release. For those of you that fall into this category and haven’t seen these exteneded scenes [...]

I finally got a chance to watch New York Has a New Problem- The Making of Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. This making of featurette on the new Deluxe Edition of the film is actually very informative. I think that I liked this featurette mainly because Jason Takes Manhattan has not received [...]

I have been trying to collect as much of these posters as I can find. Below are posters that I have found from different countries around the world. I think they all look pretty good, but the Japanese poster font really stands out. If any of the fans have posters from Freddy vs Jason that [...]

Friday the 13th is known for two things: T&A and creative death scenes. The series is jam packed wall to wall with them. The death scenes are the trademark of the franchise. Kane Hodder has his favorite kill, the sleeping bag death scene in The New Blood. I have 4 kills that I think are awesome. What’s [...]

Bloody Disgusting posted some great information about the new DVD releases yesterday. They were invited to a lunch to celebrate the release and were joined by Kane Hodder, John Carl Buechler (writer/director of The New Blood), and VC Dupree (Julius from Jason Takes Manhattan) as well as Daniel Farrands and his editor Andrew Kasch. They [...]

I wanted to start out saying thanks to Scab for sending me the DVD of this movie. It was great of him to take the time burn a copy and mail it to me. You rock!
I have to say that this was an awesome fan film. The amount of time and energy used to make [...]

For those of you who did not know already, the Blu-Ray of the original movie with the deranged Mrs. Voorhees will be released in the U.K. on October 19th. The cover is quite interesting and a total marketing gimmick as the hockey mask is featured and the tag line on the cover is “The Terror [...]

Slasher FX is selling some of their custom painted hockey masks and they are reasonable price right now on eBay. You can pick them up for between $75-$80 with shipping included. Click on the pictures for purchase and get them before they are gone!

Some of you were asking for it and now some reviews are surfacing for the new deluxe editions. BC over at Bloody Disgusting has reviewed both movies and I am encouraged by his thoughts on better picture quality and the fact that there is more picture to see! Check out the pictures below and read his [...]

I know I am tad late in finding this, but over at Scab’s Blog he mentions Crash Cunningham’s $100 Hockathon. For those of you looking for an awesome hock for a Halloween costume or just to add to your collection this is the way to go. Check out the banner below.

The sets are available to only 666 sets and you can only get your hands on them at [...]

Jason has been to many places. Crystal Lake, Manhattan, Elm Street, and now…your bathroom! No, he’s not interested in trying out that leftover roll of wet toilet paper you’ve been hanging onto. As a matter of fact, this time he’s climbing right in the shower with you thanks to Spellbound Soapworks! Spellbound Soapworks specialize in creating [...]

If you’re interested in double dipping and upgrading your DVD copy of Freddy vs. Jason to Blu Ray, or if you never owned the DVD to begin with and have added a Blu Ray player to your entertainment system, then you’ll likely want to head on over to your local Wal Mart. Freddy vs. Jason [...]

I have seen this costume’s pictures posted in other forums before, but it is now up for auction. I have not seen a hood made from JGTH before and I really love this look. The hockey mask looks spot on and if it is from Crash then I know it is high quality and accurate. [...]

Since Halloween is just around the corner, there will be more posts on hocks, masks and costumes through the next month and a half. First up is a hood from The Final Chapter. This looks pretty good, but the seller claims that this came from the original mold from the film. I cannot confirm this, [...]
