Friday Conversation: Review of Jason Takes Manhattan

Friday Conversation: Review of Jason Takes Manhattan

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 [...]

Jason Goes To Hell DVD Cropping Gaffe

Jason Goes To Hell DVD Cropping Gaffe

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 [...]

From what we’ve heard, [...]

Even NHL Goalies Show Respect To Jason

I must admit that I do not follow the NHL a whole lot and don’t know who Jason Bacashihua is, but his choice in masks is awesome. While checking out the Sports Illustrated article on Scary Goalie Masks, I found his hockey masks. I would absolutely love to own one of these masks and get them [...]

Image of the unknown origin.

Maybe I’ve just been gone a little too long, but this is an image only a mother could love. I don’t know if it’s photoshopped or an image from a deleted scene in the series. One thing is for sure, it’s a great image of mother and son. This was my first time discovering it, [...]

Two Jasons, one similar look.

Two Jasons, one similar look.

Thanks to a crafty screen capture, I was able to get a good view of the 2009 Jason unmasked. I noticed quite the similarities he has with Warrington Gillette’s unmasked Jason. Of course the 2009 version has no facial hair, but still the creators must of used the looks of the Gillette-Jason to craft the [...]

Friday the 13th on 16mm Film

Friday the 13th on 16mm Film

Part of my joy in watching television versions of movies is seeing how a movie was edited to be appropriate for general audiences. John Carpenter shot whole new scenes for his masterpiece Halloween while filming Halloween 2. This was done just so networks like NBC could have enough movie to show in an individual time slot [...]

A Tribute to Junior and Ethel

A Tribute to Junior and Ethel

I was thinking we could use some good ol fashion laughs to get through Saturday night. After making the bracket challenge for Mothers of Friday the 13th, I seriously thought about posting this following video with Ethel, but I thought it might sway too many votes. Since the voting is pretty much done on that [...]

Monsters HD and Friday the 13th

Monsters HD and Friday the 13th

I really miss this channel and everything they stood for. I could literally leave this station on all day long. It is the single reason I got Dish Network a few years back. After they cancelled Monsters HD I went with Direct TV and now I can watch the NFL all Sunday on the Ticket. [...]

Apparently, Jason himself from JASON LIVES, CJ Graham, was hired by Thunder Valley Casino in the past week as their vice president of casino operations. Does [...]
