Friday The 13th Blog

You are browsing the archives of 2024 February.

Last week our visitors came out and supported their favorite writers on the franchise. The votes were spread out mainly for four writers, but in the end, there can be only one. At first I thought that our ultimate Friday the 13th movie would be a majority of people and companies from the original, but [...]

When Friday the 13th: A New Beginning was released in 1985, there was a lot of interest and also much speculation to what the movie would be about as Jason was effectively killed in the previous movie, The Final Chapter. After its release, fans criticized the movie for the missing component that had resided in [...]

We haven’t been covering the 2024 Toy Fair at all this year as well, there hasn’t been any Jason Voorhees figures to mention. That has changed now as Mezco unveiled their Mezitz classic style Jason Voorhees figure yesterday. Check out the pic below and lets hope we see a few more Jason figures announced before [...]

Sirbrad, who we’ve featured here before, just posted some pictures and a great explanation of how he made this very detailed Jason X costume. I love this and think it is pretty accurate to the real thing. Here’s a bit of his explanation below. If you want to see more pictures and read his full explanation on how [...]

Alright, in order to vote, rollover the poster with your mouse and you will see the name of the image. If you do not see the name pop up, click on the image of the poster and the name will be located in the upper left above the image. For example, XX or BC. When [...]

This has actually been open for a month or two now, and I don’t know why I didn’t post it when I first saw it. At any rate, Shavar Ross has opened an eBay store dedicated directly to selling signed pictures of himself in A New Beginning and also his television show from the 1980’s [...]

Here’s a reminder on what to look for next week on Friday the 13th: The Website. So much to do, it’s scary.
Let The Poster Voting Begin
After receiving multiple poster entries over the last two weeks, the time has come for our visitors to vote on the teaser poster that would best represent the sequel you [...]

The most confusing ending in the Friday the 13th series came very early in the franchise. The ending of Part 2 has been debated and speculated about for close to 30 years. Did Paul die? Was the ending a dream? For the longest time, everyone was under the assumption that John Furey walked off set leaving the filmmakers with [...]

Normally we list these types of items seperately, but there were so many of these rare items, I figured we would list them altogether in one post. I have only seen these items posted once before within the last year or longer.
Jason Lives Japanese Laserdisc
This is the Japan LaserDisc release of Friday The 13th Part [...]

A staple of the Friday the 13th series is the moment one of the last survivors, usually the Final Girl, discovers the multiple bodies of the people that have been dispatched by Jason. In The Final Chapter, Trish goes over to the “party house” with Rob to investigate. After Rob is killed Trish tries to escape through [...]

We are always on the lookout for new, rare or unusual marketing and promotional items for Friday the 13th. So, this poster was found recently on eBay and uses the silhouette from the Part 2 poster as the backdrop. I also like that the Roy hock is being held in the hand instead of the [...]

Anyone who is a fan of Friday the 13th has collected some thing or item that reperesents the franchise. Many people scramble on eBay and other websites and forums to regain an item from years past that was lost after childhood. Others just want to build their collection and cannot wait for the next Jason [...]

I know there are a lot of our visitors that are aware of this link I have below. However, there are people who are either new to the series and do not know or there may be lifelong fans that just never found this link previously. At any rate, if you’re itching for come nostalgia [...]

We took a week off with the Challenge as the previous week’s challenge, Production Companies, was extended. Now, we are back with the next piece of the ultimate Friday the 13th movie. Sifting through the writers in the franchise turned out to be a little more complicated than just putting a single name to a [...]

Harry helped score this new movie called “The Black Waters of Echo’s Pond”. The movie premiered last year and is now receiving a proper release on April 9th, according to the official Facebook Page. The movie stars Robert Patrick (Terminator 2, X-Files), Danielle Harris (Halloween 4 and 5, RZ’s Halloween and Halloween 2) and Friday the 13th [...]

This limited edition collector’s [...]

Wickedbeard recently posted some new shots of himself in costume over at the Benevolent Street forum and they look great as always. I grabbed a few pics that he posted at their forum to give everyone here an idea of what the costumes looked like. If you’re interested in seeing more pictures of these versions [...]

I would first like to start off saying that this is not the ”A New Beginning” report I teased last week. That will be coming soon! Today we have an exclusive interview with Bob Desimone from that very same movie. I must point out that Christian Sellers interviewed Bob for this website a few years ago, but [...]

I have received an enormous amount of poster entries and there is still a week left in the contest! The deadline is Saturday Friday the 13th. Send your entries to jason.parker@fridaythe13thfilms.com.
I have been getting some requests to see what posters people have been entering, so I thought I would tease with a random entry I [...]

What has happened to Friday the 13th and even more so, Jason Voorhees? When I was a kid, everyone was scared of Jason. I mean, even my Dad would get a little freaked out at seeing Jason running after Trish in The Final Chapter. Now, Jason is an action figure, an anti-hero and for some [...]
