Friday The 13th Blog

This interview was conducted right before the remake was released this past February and it’s pretty informative. Ron is a very personable guy and I loved this interview. In the interview, he discusses his new autobiography, how he got the part in Friday the 13th and various other tidbits in this life.

Check out the interview [...]

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

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.
He was the only one who wanted to hunt Jason on the cruise ship:
Julius:  “Let’s go find this mutha f*cka before he finds us”
McCullough:  “You’ll do no such thing, I’m in charge [...]
