Thanks Jasonfury! I really appreciate this information and pictures you have provided to us. Very great stuff! The scene Tait did was one of the most memorable in F Vs. J. His signature is a must have for me. Great blog sir!

How come I haven’t seen Douglas Tait before? Has he been at any other conventions?

Douglas is going to be attending his first convention this November at Horrorhound. Check out their website for more info.

How come I haven’t seen Douglas Tait before? Has he been at any other conventions? I thought I got every Jason on my Mask. I guess I was wrong, now I have to get his signature. Great find Jasonfury!

Brandon, these platform stile of boots were originally made to be worn by the actor during the scenes when Jason fights against Freddy. And only during shots when you can not see the boots. To let him look much taller than Fred. In the other scenes it was planned to let him wear the regular boots with normal sizes. But they ended up using the platform boots throughout the film and this is why you can see them on screen in several shots. I have one of the Jason costumes in my collection and with it the main pair of regular sized boots and I must say I defenitely would have prevered to see them used on screen instead of these stupid looking speacial effects platform boots.

That is so F…… cool! I have never seen those pics before! I loved that ending scene, and I also thought how great the Jason movements were. No wonder, this guy seems to specialize in playing creatures and monsters. Check out this You Tube reel on him. It has other film performances he has done under makeup and masks. It is pretty neat.

Great job! So what’s the actual total count of people who have played Jason?

How the hell did they need to waste money on hiring some guy to hack kids up at the rave and come out of the lake with Freddy’s severed head? Why not just hire this dude to play Jason all the way? Kane didn’t have a stunt double in part 7. I believe he had one in part 8 due to second unit shooting and schedule conflicts. Maybe that’s why this guy was hired to play Jason in these scenese? Maybe Ken was busy shooting other scenes. Filmmakers do that…there, I just answered my own question.

Dang, Imagine if Derek Mears had played Jason in Freddy vs. Jason…..or Kane of course…..in any event it seems that Jason’s best scenes in Freddy vs Jason wasn’t even the dude who was playing him…the ending sequence and the rave scene. ah well……Ronny you ****ed up going with Ken…. I like Ken but its obvious he’s the worse of all the Jason’s…in the film where it would have been cool if he would of been the best…

Look at the freaking boots in the 1st pics, it looked so stupid in the film to have Jason wearing KISS man Gene Simmons Platform Boot’s lol..
