Friday The 13th Blog

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 [...]

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 [...]

While there are no details at this point, there looks to be a new Jason Voorhees collectible coming soon from sideshow.
 

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 have always wanted to own a Friday the 13th board game, but figured it would never happen. An ambitious member at horrorbid.com took it upon themselves to get the ball rolling and have created a board game concept called “Camp Blood”. It is still in development phase and they mention they are submitting their concept [...]

I found these pics at Horrorbid.com. Known as “Brute”, this mask accurately depicts Stan Winston’s makeup for Jason in the alternate ending to Part 3. The alternate scene and Jason makeup were ultimately scratched, but I still think it’s a cool look for Jason and probably a better ending as well!

The “ITZ-U” BY DAHONE is number 13 of 15 of this production run. Very detailed and a must for fans who like to collect Friday memoribilia. The price will eliminate some fans from contention of buying, but the price is not too bad for this item.

A number of figures went up for auction recently, each different in design and material used.
One’s Customs’ The New Blood Figure
Hey guys this auction is what I call a “throwback custom”, that means some of my earlier work. This piece in particular is my first completed custom Jason, but don’t think of it being a [...]

I really love press books from the franchise. The book for the original is great, not just for looking at the different size ads, but for the actor mini-biographies that are printed inside. I think it’s  fun to read what these actors and actresses were involved in before performing in Friday the 13th. I like [...]

I just found this new listing on eBay and it is a really, really good pull of Jason from Part 3. Check out the description from the ebay listing below.
This Auction is for the very first pull of “Jason 3D”
This is the prototype .
It is very thick latex and is a display copy with no [...]

I found pictures of this awesome Jason X figure at the forum of www.benevolentstreet.com and the work done is great. I like the detail of the face, hair and jacket. Well done. The figure was made by a visitor that hasn’t posted here in a while, SirMWK. So, if he’s out there, great job!

If you head over to eBay you will have a chance to bid on one of these various lobby cards from the franchise. I like the Part 7 lobby card where Tina has just been thrown past Nick after getting the axe to the head. I also like the Part 2 scene with Crazy Ralph. [...]

Mario was nice enough to send me some photos of a Jason X standee he acquired a few years back from a local video store. I am impressed  at the size of the standee, it coming from a video store and all. I would think it came from a theater lobby. Very cool! Thanks, Mario.

Crash Cunningham’s Final Week of his $100 Hockathon is here and this week it features the “Manhattan Part Eight”. Check out his website or see the details below. He does a great job as I just received a Jason Goes To Hell mask from him and it is flawless!
PRICES:
$100 plus shipping. U.S. shipping is $10 [...]

I have always liked the international poster for A New Beginning compared to the US poster and video release cover. I really like this French poster for the movie with the hockey mask immersed in a red light. I also like the blood dripping off of the machete. I kept hoping that Paramount would use [...]

I debated even putting this up today, but I figured we add so many other things on a daily basis, why not this. I found this yesterday and just had to laugh. Lil’ Wayne in a hockey mask, all 4 feet of him, is a sight that must be seen. This “album” is being promoted [...]

Mario sent me these photos of a cardboard standee he bought from a video store a while back where he lives in Germany. The interesting thing we noticed is that the hockey mask shown is from Jason Lives and not Jason Takes Manhattan. Anyway, I have never seen anything like this before for the movie. [...]

As US fans await the ultimate DVD and Blu-Ray box sets to be released uncut and remastered, I thought I would share some of the French box sets that are available right now for purchase. You can purchase these box sets by visiting http://www.amazon.fr
VHS Box Set Released October 2000.
This set includes Part 2 through 8 [...]

These are pretty hard to come by and I have not seen these around of late. I would really like to own the complete set of each movie’s lobby card set. The Jason lives card is in kind of bad shape, but still would be cool to own. I found these at eBay, but the [...]

I have posted about the Japanese Laserdiscs before, so I thought that for those of you that have not seen close up pics of the movies, I would showcase the Part 3 laserdisc.

Check out the pic to the right with Chris wearing a winter jacket. She never wore one in the movie. She wore a [...]
