So here we are over two years after Friday the 13th (2009) was released, with little in the way of hard progress on a sequel. Kind of defeated the purpose of launching a franchise reboot/revamp in the first place. Development Hell – the process of rewriting and rehiring with no finite endpoint in mind – [...]

Obsession: First Photos & The Whitfield Sessions #2 (Shoot Begins)
In pre-production I interviewed Tim Whitfield about that portion of the Friday the 13th: The Obsession webseries, and now the first day of filming has been locked so like the proverbial kick in the nuts I’ve kept Tim from resting so he can answer some new questions. Also, the first pics have been released via [...]
A Friday The 13th Fanfilm Call To Arms
A recent comment on the latest web series article got me thinking about the public perception of fanfilms being the stuff of lame. There’s the obvious reason that most cannot fathom why a group of individuals would make a movie that based on properties they don’t even own. There’s something supremely backward sounding about that, [...]
Jason’s Girls: Julianna Guill
Oh boy do I have trouble telling the girls of Friday The 13th (2009) apart. They basically fall into two camps, nymphomaniacs and university graduates. Not really much to distinguish there. But since we’ve already showed off Danielle Panabaker, let us move on to the other camp, illustrated by Julianna Guill who played Bree, the [...]
Web Series Ready To Go, How To Secure A Copy Later
Friday the 13th: The Obsession producer Tim Whitfield has unleashed a stream of final updates before filming begins on the web series. Pay attention, punks, because the only way you’re going to obtain a reasonable quality copy of the series is to drop a few dollars in their donation bin, but there’s plenty in it [...]
Monday Comic Digest: Final Girl Does Final Chapter
This week’s entry isn’t derived from commercially released comics, but Final Girl’s Illustrated Guides to the Deaths in Friday the 13th. One of the fun things Final Girl comes up with are cartoon caption versions of each Friday the 13th bodycount. She illustrates these herself and puts care into reproducing the scenes in panel form. [...]
F13th: Tommy Jarvis – Chapter 11
Picking up where the story threads of Friday The 13th: A New Beginning left off, Friday The 13th: Tommy Jarvis is a 16-chapter fan novel written by Christopher Highland serialized here on Friday The 13th Blog.
Brad Fuller’s Friday Sequel Tweets: The Half-Yearly Report
Brad Fuller: Platinum Dunes partner, producer of Friday the 13th (2009), and sometimes Twitterer. He only pops up sporadically, and when he does it’s to answer the same questions over and over. No wonder the poor man feels the need to take a breather from the social network, if only the quality of questions were [...]
Recognizing Friday The 13th’s Blockbuster Status
The original Friday the 13th has made MSN’s list of Top 50 Summer Blockbusters. Ranking #43 on the speculative compilation, here’s what Microsoft’s entertainment arm had to say: ‘Friday the 13th‘ (Release date: May 9, 1980) The song “The ‘In’ Crowd” states “the original’s still the greatest,” and that’s something that’s by and large true, [...]
Friday The 13th: The Obsession Vintage Videos
While we await the very-near shooting of the Friday the 13th: The Obsession web series, I thought I’d wax nostalgic about the feature length version shot in the late 90′s. While it was never-released, two trailers and a fight scene made it to Youtube a few years ago courtesy of defunct website Jason Conquers. The [...]
