Friday The 13th Blog

These covers for Standard and Unrated versions of the new Friday on DVD have been floating around various blogs. But something about them doesn’t sit quite right with me – for one there are a number of really awful design decisions (i.e. placement of taglines and other elements in relation to each other) that call [...]

Okay my brothers (and sisters). The reboot is out. The fair weather fans have crawled onto the next franchise to worship (likely Rob Zombie’s H2). But I know there are still many of you hardcore Jasonites out there that are lurkers or shy. Why not say a simple “hello” or “hi” below so we can [...]

What, you think just because the movie’s out that fridaythe13thfilms.com is gonna let up with the good stuff? Think again! Today I archived 29 Publicity Stills in our Friday The 13th Gallery which will continue to grow into a multimedia haven for Jason fanatics.

Give this interview a read. Friday reboot writers Mark Swift And Damien Shannon discuss their screenplay work on the flick, things that were cut even before filming, references to the other flicks, and even candid thoughts on their Freddy Vs Jason. It’s five static pages long, and a pretty smooth (and funny) read.

After the excellent article by jasonsfury I wiped away the nostalgia-fueled tears and decided to do a follow-up on the history of this awesome site I get to run.

How did Jason fare in weekend 2 of the reboot’s run? Early figures are in from Variety and Friday The 13th placed fifth with $2.73 million.

Are you wondering if the new “Friday the 13th” has more or less drugs, sex and killing than the original films? Are you wondering if any of [...]

My favorite writer in the universe has got to be Stephen Romano, author of the groovin’ faux-Grindhouse bible Shock Festival and screenwriter of the premiere Masters Of Horror telemovie Incident On And Off A Mountain Road. As one of the few to make the concept of “wild deformed killer in the woods” absolutely terrifying (See [...]

After getting a slew of emails I assumed were practical jokes I decided to investigate and sure enough, many folks out there are under the impression that New Jason is killing to protect his blunt. Jason & Silent Bob here we come? No way punk. Here’s the best summarization I’ve seen of this strange phenomenon:
I [...]

Thanks to ‘The Question’ for posting the link in another topic. Here is Jason unmasked. Remember you can see more looks at his face by checking out Tony’s photo close-ups of the Action Figure here on F13thFilms.
When pressed for details on a possible director’s cut for the DVD release, he replies: “They asked Cameron [...]

Jared Padalecki speaks about the old and new Friday The 13ths and more:
“Before I got the script, honestly my thought was, ‘Man, I really like Friday the 13th,’” Padalecki said. “I’d seen the Texas Chainsaw Massacre that they had done and I loved it. That was a really good movie. That was a really well [...]

Best Jason Shot Ever. That is all.

As happens with pretty much every new movie released theatrically, someone takes a cam from their seat, cleans it up on the PC and BAM, you got your downloadable copy. And it’s no different for the Friday The 13th redux – just a few short hours ago Marcus Nispel’s Friday The 13th hit the web. [...]

I don’t usually cotton to fanfilms because most make the same mistakes of low-concept storytelling and Jason Voorhees fanboy ego-fulfillment (watch as many as I have and you’ll understand exactly what I mean). However, perhaps the tide has been turning in recent times. Friday The 13th: Mothers Day was pretty darn good, and now [...]

The slasher monster-mash is now actually already available in Canada (Amazon CA) but we were tipped off by fan Bryan Sumner that it’s coming to the States next week on February 17th! However, on closer inspection since the US distributor is one ‘101 Distribution’ who tend to import much of their stock, so I’d fathom [...]

Here’s a great new interview with Dan Farrands, (pictured here at last year’s Writer’s Strike with The Shape) the friendly director of His Name Was Jason (now availible, for those of you sleeping inside a zipped camping bag). Pay close attention to his comments about the DVDs for part 7 and 8. Long lost [...]
