Friday The 13th Blog

One of the things the franchise is built on is the ability to effectively portray the tension and dread necessary to suck the audience into a good stalk and slash scene. There have been numerous scenes that have delighted the fans all over the world. There are however, those few scenes that always stand out and [...]

We recently mentioned that Derek Mears was added to the Famous Monsters convention this past week and we warned that our Alumni Convention List would continue to grow through to the early Spring. Well, Weekend of Horrors recently announced who they are bringing to their show from Friday the 13th and let’s just say, Jason is [...]

UPDATE: SCENES HAVE BEEN REVEALED
We all are very knowledgeable when it comes to the franchise. I am sure any number of us can pick out music, or a phrase, or whole dialogue when listening to a TV from afar and guess exactly what Friday the 13th movie those are from and even the exact scene. [...]

Check back here in the coming weeks for a very special report dealing with Friday the 13th: A New Beginning. It has been a number of months in the making and I know everyone will enjoy it!

Our next installment in our Franchise Crossover series brings a smile to my face. And it’s not because of what the ladies let you see in the movie, but rather reminds of a time when a group of friends and I rode our bike to the video store and the owner actually let us rent [...]

I have been asked by a few of our visitors how the voting process will be conducted. Originally I thought Dusk and I would look over the entries and decide. But now I think the website should go another route …… you the fans will decide who the winner is! After the deadline of Saturday [...]

I want to first start off saying that The Final Chapter is my favorite film in the franchise. The New Blood is the one movie in the late 80’s and into the early 90’s I watched most out of any movie in the franchise to that point. I love the guilty pleasure feeling I get [...]

Aside from my little snafu, we had a great response for picking our production company. It seems like we are heading for an almost all Friday the 13th 1980 crew. I hope that we are able to mix in more elements from later installments like Joesph Zito from The Final Chapter. However, it is all [...]

As the years moves on, more and more Friday alumn will be appearing at horror conventions. Our alumni convention list is already pretty big and will surely grow through the Spring.
Now, we can add Derek Mears to the new Famous Monsters show that will be happening July 9 through the 11th in Indianapolis, Indiana. Derek will [...]

I’m not afraid to admit that I am a huge fans of The Karate Kid. No, not the remake with Will Smith’s kid and Jackie Chan being released this summer, but the 1984 classic with Pat Morita. I also remember seeing Part 2 in the theater and for some odd reason, don’t mind that one [...]

We at fridaythe13thfilms.com are good listeners and think your participation in the franchise is the number one reason these movies are still getting made. Likewise, your involvement in our website is the reason we are here as well. In the past, we have run a few contests involving winning DVD’s, comics and an LP soundtrack. [...]

UPDATE: A HUGE ERROR ON MY PART WAS POINTED OUT TO ME AND NOW WE HAVE A DILEMNA. THE FINAL CHAPTER AND A NEW BEGINNING DID INDEED HAVE PRODUCTION COMPANIES. I AM GOING TO EXTEND THE VOTING THROUGH TO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK. FEEL FREE TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE IF NECESSARY.
With the reboot almost [...]

UPDATE: I ADDED A PIC FROM THE EVENT WITH DEREK IN FULL COMEDIC ACTION!
Tonight at the times of 8:00 PM and 10:30 PM, Derek will be, as he put it, “slinging some Ha Ha”. It should be a lot of fun. So, if you live in the Las Angeles area and dig on Comedy Sportz, [...]

Braxton Films shot this short fan film back in 2003 to enter a contest that was being promoted by Cinescape Magazine. The filmmaker took 3rd place in that contest. This is a fun fan film in the vein of Jason Lives with some parody involved. My favorite is the kid wearing a T-shirt with a [...]

I had something else lined up for today, but one of our visitors, Schotta, mentioned we should all be able to mention our favorite quotes. So, I figured why not and alas here is your chance to discuss your favorite and most memorable quotes from Friday the 13th. Anything goes. Any movie. Any character. Any [...]

I am always on the lookout to find Friday the 13th actors in small or obscure rolls and recently found this fun little fact. Larry Zerner (Shelly, Part 3) once had a gig on the 1980’s show Fame. He can be found in Season 2, Episode 1: “And the Winner Is” playing the stage manager, Jerry. Check [...]

The film also stars Ashley Greene, Sebastian Stan and Luke Pasqualino and will [...]

Last month we showed you what the Part 2 Pressbook looked like, which was distributed for promotion of the movie back in 1981. There were various pictures displayed in the pressbook depicting scenes from the movie. Now, lets take a look at the press kit. This press kit contains full size black and white images [...]

A few weeks back we showcased Josh Stephenson’s Crazy Ralph bust and it is amazing how accurate to Walt Gorney it looks. Now Josh has provided us with some pictures of his upcoming projects.
The first is Pamela Voorhees from part 1 1980. This is made of resin and could make a great display bust!

 
Second is [...]
