A lot of you are surely familiar with the 1990’s series entitled the “Camp Crystal Lake” novels by Eric Morse (William Pattison). Though they did not feature Jason himself, they did manage to maintain the mood and tone of the original Friday the 13th series.
Many months ago I got the chance to interview Pattison (read that [...]

I was thinking about his character the other day. Julius never gets the credit he deserves. He stood toe to toe with Jason Voorhees.

McCullough:  “You’ll do no such thing, I’m in charge [...]

Ign interviews Amanda Rigetti about her role in the new film.

Q: Can you talk at all about the differences?
Righetti: In the original, they were all out at Crystal Lake and getting the camp ready. And it’s not that. Camp Crystal Lake is still definitely an element of the film, but it is not the centerpiece [...]
