Friday The 13th Blog

For many this was the end of an era in the franchise. The last of the Paramount movies that closed out an amazing run in the 1980’s that saw eight movies released in ten years. It had never been done before and, until recently with the Saw franchise, it looked like it may never be [...]

Not many fans of the franchise are able to get onto the camp ground of Camp NoBeBoSco, and if they do, they have to be pretty quick about getting their shots before getting kicked out. For those of you that have not seen this video, this was shot as a class project for a local [...]

The other matchup this week is really, really close. Closer than I thought it would be. Will this new matchup be anywhere near as close? Ali had multiple lives against Jason. Can Ginny deliver the knockout blow as she did to Jason in his shack? This should be another fun vote. Which character should move [...]

In a very recent interview conducted by Mark Morton that was posted this past Friday the 13th at www.examiner.com, Harry discusses his evolution of composing going from the original Friday the 13th to Swamp Thing to Deep Star Six to Jason X and then to more recent movies like Choker.
Thanks to Mark for sharing his [...]

The cast represented in these photos have become more available for signatures of late at conventions, but if you are unable to attend horror conventions and do not want to pay the usual rate of $10-$20 for a signature per photo, this could be the way to go. The current ebay auction has a starting [...]

I recently received the EPK for the most recent Friday the 13th from Mario Kirner. Normal press kits would come in an envelope containing production stills and a booklet of information. Those types of press kits have all but disappeared. The new press kits now usually come on USB flash drives and contain trailers, jpg [...]

Will the allegiance to Ralph come to an end this week? Or, will Ralph be able to overtake Tommy Jarvis and move one round closer to facing off against Jason of The New Blood?
Crazy Ralph (Friday the 13th 1980)
Remember everyone, God sent him. Do you need anything else? I still can’t believe how in shape [...]

I missed the broadcast Friday night, but Derek sat down with Anthony Timpone and Debbi Rochon to help observe Jason’s special day by giving the skinny on what he’s up to—including some info on PREDATORS and FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2. If anyone listened to the broadcast let us know what they talked about as [...]

Daniel Farrands is hard at work on his new documentary, Never Sleep Again: The Nightmare Legacy. According to the productions Twitter page, they recently interviewed Kane Hodder. I am assuming the interview had to do with the long in development Freddy vs Jason movie. I will have to look for that interview when the doco is [...]

Regal Entertainment, or as I remember them as Regal Cinemas, has already listed Friday the 13th Part 2 – 3D on their 3D release slate for next year. I think this is really jumping the gun as there is no greenlight for the film, that we’re being told, or an approved script? Regal must know [...]

I always laugh when I see movies on DVD, or even television, where the cropping has altered the framing of a movie which  causes objects to appear that normally aren’t there. The biggest culpret is seeing boom mics appear in the frame of a picture at the top of the screen. It is quite comical and [...]

Daniel wrote in and directed us to this Jason hoodie for sale and it is a really fun idea. Not only is it a sweatshirt with a hockey mask hoodie, but the sweatshirt can be zipped up all the way to the top of the hoodie and the person wearing it can see through the [...]

From Camp Blood Reunion Website:
Friday the 13th 5 director Danny Steinmann makes his 2nd appearance in TX!
Paul who got it in the balls actor and first timer Clyde Hayes aka Alan Hayes joins the “Final Chapter” lineup. And since TFC is my absolute favorite Friday… how bout Nurse Morgan herself, Lisa Freeman?
Last, but certainly not [...]

While reading the Guts and Gory Forum. I came across an article that was written by the website www.pajiba.com/. There is a surprising revelation about the upcoming sequel that I personally do not believe. This may not be true, a rumor, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
(*Potential Spoilers* Ahead)
A sequel to this year’s Friday [...]

We had a great Friday the 13th here on the site. Thank you so much to everyone that contributed to all of the discussions and for voting! Three matchups were voted on this week with two having no competition at all. The Best Jason Character was the closest matchup we have ever had in this [...]

Well, since it is Friday the 13th I decided to run a contest. For those of you that have an interest in acquiring a piece of Friday the 13th history, look no further. This LP was released in 1982 and contains music written by Harry Manfredini that was included in the first three movies. The [...]

I first saw Jason on the big screen opening weekend 1988. It was The New Blood and my dad foolishly took me to see the movie. My mom strongly disagreed, but Dad thought it would be no problem. During the movie there were about 6 drunk bikers yelling obscenities at the movie. That, along with [...]

Now, which actor is your favorite to don the hockey mask or sack? Your reasons can vary from the way they played the character in the movie, to your personal opinion from meeting them in person, or how they have come across in an interview or other roles you have seen them in. It doesn’t [...]

VOTING HAS CLOSED!
Now, I want to set this straight right off the bat. This bracket challenge is to pick the best Jason character, not the actors behind the mask. There were many people that contributed to the Jason character in Part 2. Some were stand-ins for hand and feet shots, others did the window crashing [...]
