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.

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.

Icons of Fright posted an interview with Betsy back in 2004 and since there aren’t a lot of in-depth interviews with her, I found this to be fascinating as a fan of not only Friday the 13th, but of cinema in general.
Actress Betsy Palmer has had a long and incredible career working along such established actors as [...]

During the interview she talks about her knowledge of five languages, her experience on Freddy’s Nightmares, working with [...]

To some, he is simply known as Jeff. To a legion of online folk as well as convention attendees, he has grown into somewhat of a legend known simply as Wickedbeard! The man with the very fitting name, given that you never know what shape or form his beard will take on next, has carved [...]

I know that this has been out on the net a few weeks, but I still thought I should add it here. Danielle Harris of Halloween fame interviewed Kane Hodder on the set the web series Fear Clinic. It’s an entertaining interview with a lot of questions that Kane is not use to getting from [...]
