Friday The 13th Blog

There’s an interesting article over at AMC - an interview with one of the stars of the New Friday, Travis Van Winkle. In a refreshing twist, the interviewer seemed to know that asking for details/spoilers would have been a dead end - the same dead end over horror journos keep ploughing. Instead, he spoke with [...]

Here are two exclusive interview images from Anchor Bay’s forthcoming doco His Name Was Jason.

These do appear to be in-film shots, and if that’s [...]

I saw this interview on Chud and found the following comments to be pretty interesting, regarding the development of New Friday:
