This is a good video tour of some of the filming locations for the film. The video was posted in November 2024, so it is pretty recent. The person who is filming the video was unable to get into the camp ground, but does show the entrance to the area. Check out how little the [...]

I thought that this would be an interesting matchup. You have two of the franchise’s marquee characters. They are recognizable by anyone who has followed the franchise. One character is iconic for telling them they’re al doomed and the other for giving Jason his iconic mask. Which character will survive to Round 3?
Crazy [...]

These posters are from the original Italian release of the film. They measure 18 in x 26 in (47cm x68cm), which to me is basically oversized lobby cards. As a stand alone movie, I liked Jason X. It was a lot of fun. Yes, Jason flying in space was a very poor moment in the [...]

Alex Diakun is a longtime veteran in acting as his resume spans four decades, being involved heavily in television and the occasional motion picture. He has appeared in such motion pictures as “The Journey of Natty Gann”, the 2024 slasher “Valentine”, Agent Cody Bank, The X Files: I Want to Believe, and most recently the [...]

In the reboot of Friday the 13th this year, Julianna was given a great number of compliments about her…. assets by Trent in the movie. Now she is playing a spoiled brat in MTV’s Super Psycho Sweet 16, a retro type of slasher movie that airs this Friday on MTV. Although the movie was made [...]

As US fans await the ultimate DVD and Blu-Ray box sets to be released uncut and remastered, I thought I would share some of the French box sets that are available right now for purchase. You can purchase these box sets by visiting http://www.amazon.fr
VHS Box Set Released October 2024.
This set includes Part 2 through 8 [...]

These are pretty hard to come by and I have not seen these around of late. I would really like to own the complete set of each movie’s lobby card set. The Jason lives card is in kind of bad shape, but still would be cool to own. I found these at eBay, but the [...]

VOTING HAS CLOSED
I know that you have seen the bracket that I have been posting throughout the challenge. Each week I added the winner from a specific division and in no specific order. The initial matchups based on the bracket were never meant to be permanent as I had no idea which character would advance [...]

Mario has posted the second part of his interview with Prop Master Koen Wooten. If you recall, you the fan had an opportunity to submit your own questions for Koen to answer. Well, a few did manage to get into the interview. The second part of the interview touches upon the number of axes that [...]

I have posted about the Japanese Laserdiscs before, so I thought that for those of you that have not seen close up pics of the movies, I would showcase the Part 3 laserdisc.

Check out the pic to the right with Chris wearing a winter jacket. She never wore one in the movie. She wore a [...]

UPDATE: The owner of the property has asked that the images be pulled which I gladly have obliged to do.

Well, the first round has concluded and we had an amazing turnout for the Final Girl Division. Starting next week, we will have the beginning of Round 2. In this round, the winners from the first round will be aligned into comparable matchups and the bracket board will be realigned to reflect how the rest [...]

I haven’t seen too many foreign posters out there for Jason Takes Manhattan recently, but I came across this one and there isn’t anything different outside of the different language. However, I love the way “Martes 13″ looks on anything that is Friday the 13th. Also, I like that the subtitle is “Jason Invade Manhattan”.

This has been a long running debate that has been listed here on this site in the old forums and continues on in forums on other Friday the 13th and horror websites. However, while talking with a friend about the two Halloween movies with the Jamie Lloyd character, Halloween 4 and 5, my friend determined [...]

We mentioned this a couple of weeks ago with our preview images, but now this figure is up for auction on eBay.
The figure stands at 7.5 inches and is highly detailed and fully poseable. Figure includes just about every murder weapon Jason used in the film including axe, sickle, kitchen knife, tent stake, party blower, [...]

Dread Central recently took an exclusive tour of writer/director Robert Hall’s special effects studio, Almost Human. Robert Hall most recently directed the superb Laid To Rest. And his studio worked on special effects for Quarantine and most recently the Fear Clinic series. During the tour of the studios, Robert shows off a cast of a [...]

I recently bought these VHS tapes for my collection and I really like seeing “Freitag Der 13″ in big bold red text. It’s always fun to see the title displayed in different languages. Check out the back covers for The New Blood and Jason Takes Manhattan. A few different pictures are used for the back [...]

Mario Kirner is currently conducting Part 2 of his interview with Prop master Koen Wooten. If you read Mario’s first interview, posted on this site this past weekend, you found out some interesting information about the props that were used in the making of the reimagining of Friday the 13th.
Now, Mario has been nice enough [...]

As this game was mentioned in my last Fan Game post, I thought it appropriate to spotlight it now. For those who have not had the pleasure to play this awesome game, you must check out the video below to see what you are missing. Every fan wants to play a game as Jason taking [...]
