Friday The 13th Blog

I have to say that you don’t see too many fan films being created to represent Friday the 13th Part 2 or the look of Jason from that film. However, the trailer below does just that. Director Starsky Partridge has created this first trailer for his Friday the 13th fan film which showcases Jason with [...]

This is a day or so old, but Shock Till You Drop posted up some screen caps of the new zombie video game, Dead Rising 2 and a familiar mask appeared. In the pic below, you will notice a hockey mask very accurate to the screen used mask being worn by a user. Apparently, players [...]

Tom Savini is stalking hunters and campers in the woods? Is he finally falling into the psyche of the character he helped create 30 years ago? It sure looks that way, but he is not playing Jason, rather Tom is now The Sadist!. The new film has Mr. Savini playing a combat veteran that loses [...]

There has been alot of discussions among Friday the 13th fans about Marta Kober, who played Sandra in Friday the 13th Part 2. Marta seemed to just disappear from the entertainment business since the early 1990’s and really has not been heard from since. There has been rumors about what Marta has been up to [...]

The first Final Girl Grudge Match ended in a, gulp, tie last week. It was an interesting matchup and proved to divide the visitors to the website. This weeks matchup may serve up the same divisive response as these two Final Girls didn’t do a whole lot to thwart Jason’s advances, although Rennie did create [...]

Some of our visitors might be aware that the 3D boom in Hollywood is at an all time high. The 3D film truly is in a renaissance. Because of this, Avatar Director James Cameron holds the medium dear to his heart as he sees the new technology he helped create for the new age of 3D as [...]

Recently, Mario Kirner added a very cool piece to his collection which happens to be a stunt axe used for Susan J Sullivan’s (Melissa) death in Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood. The rubber axe has a metal rig added to it so the axe could be attached to the head of Melissa when [...]

Filming movies is a huge task and takes a lot of preparation. Much like in sports, it is a total team effort and requires everyone’s focus and dedication. However, when filming in outdoor locations, Mother Nature is not always a team player. When inclement weather interferes with planned outdoor shooting, there has to be a [...]

Back in July we mentioned a new fan film for Friday the 13th, called Retribution. Yes, there have been a lot of new fan films created as of late, mostly to capitalize on the most recent holiday in August. However, these films are getting better and better as technology has really enhanced the viewing experience [...]

The website is working on a few projects at this time. One is the Crystal Lake Gazette, which visitors will hopefully see sometime in the next week or so. Don’t expect a huge offering right off the bat. This is going to be something that grows and hopefully with your input and help. Another project [...]

Tamara and Eva’s cocaine snorting scene, affectionatly called “nose candy”, is first filmed as well as Julius and his boxing sparring match. There a few things of note on the call sheet.
The person responsible for creating the call sheets for [...]

I don’t know why I am going down this path, but I thought this was worth a mention as one, it involves Tom Savini, and two, it’s Jason Voorhees. I found this video while visiting the Night Owl forums and I thought it was funny and also sad.
For those who do not follow professional wrestling, [...]

Once upon a time, Paramount and Executive Producer Frank Mancuso Jr. took and original concept television series and pimped out the ‘Friday the 13th’ title to promote and sell said series. Although the concept of the series was good and I enjoyed some of the episodes, it just never really sat well in my stomach [...]

3D films are all of the rage lately. Just about every movie is released in 3 dimensions, but you can’t forget about the 3D revolution that was started by Friday the 13th Part 3. The following video shows a few pairs of 3D glasses that are owned and what differences there are between them.

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter is to many fans the best of the series. The movie not only offers some of the most brutal kills in the horror franchise, but quite possibly the best death of Jason. The machete to the side of the skull of Jason is a definitive image in fan’s minds. [...]

Crash Cunningham truly is a master of perfectly replicating anything regarding Friday the 13th and Jason Voorhees. When we interviewed him last month, he revealed a great deal about his talents and what he has worked on related to the series. At the beginning of the year, he revealed a project where is was creating [...]

Yes, the Grudge match is back. This will be very similar to the Jason Voorhees Grudgematch where each Thursday two Final Girls will square off against one another. There is no bracket here where  the winner advances. That was covered in the Bracket Challenge last year. Here, the Final Girls will get thrown into the [...]
