Friday The 13th Blog

You are browsing the archives of Part 5: A New Beginning (1985).

We are back for another Saturday of Friday the 13th Movie Memoribilia. This week I thought I would showcase the Spanish Lobby card set for “A New Beginning” Thanks for the great response to the video last week and hope you like what I have for you today.
Remember, if you have something that you would [...]

Cathryn looked over some of your comments from Part 2 of our report last week and was nice enough to email me answers to some of those comments as well as offer a few more tidbits about the production that she recalled since her and I spoke a couple weeks back. She also offered some [...]

Last week, our Part 1 report on the “A New Beginning” shooting location revealed a bit of the history of the Ranch. We talked about some of the famous shoots on location, how the Ranch was chosen for filming the fifth film in the Friday the 13th franchise and the three stages the filming location [...]

When Friday the 13th: A New Beginning was released in 1985, there was a lot of interest and also much speculation to what the movie would be about as Jason was effectively killed in the previous movie, The Final Chapter. After its release, fans criticized the movie for the missing component that had resided in [...]

This has actually been open for a month or two now, and I don’t know why I didn’t post it when I first saw it. At any rate, Shavar Ross has opened an eBay store dedicated directly to selling signed pictures of himself in A New Beginning and also his television show from the 1980’s [...]

Normally we list these types of items seperately, but there were so many of these rare items, I figured we would list them altogether in one post. I have only seen these items posted once before within the last year or longer.
Jason Lives Japanese Laserdisc
This is the Japan LaserDisc release of Friday The 13th Part [...]

We are always on the lookout for new, rare or unusual marketing and promotional items for Friday the 13th. So, this poster was found recently on eBay and uses the silhouette from the Part 2 poster as the backdrop. I also like that the Roy hock is being held in the hand instead of the [...]

I would first like to start off saying that this is not the ”A New Beginning” report I teased last week. That will be coming soon! Today we have an exclusive interview with Bob Desimone from that very same movie. I must point out that Christian Sellers interviewed Bob for this website a few years ago, but [...]

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!

We have showcased Jeremy Bohrs’ Roy mask in the past, in which it shows what Roy would look like alive, without the hockey mask on, wearing the hood. Well, I just found a mask that has two parts to it that shows what Roy looked like after he fell on the bed of spikes at [...]

It is rare to see these discs up for sale or auction. I have only seen Japanese discs up for sale 3 times in the last year on eBay. This happens to be one of those three times. If you’re looking for a rare Friday the 13th collectible check out the auction and put your [...]

I have been meaning to post these up here for a while and keep getting preoccupied, so here they are. They are really great cards and are much different than the Mexican lobby cards that I own. I have to say thanks to daizab for using these images.

I am a huge fan of marketing from different countries for the franchise and really like to collect foreign posters. I just found some posters from different countries that I have not seen before. I think they look awesome and wanted to share with everyone. If anyone knows where I can get these, please send [...]

The cast represented in these photos have become more available for signatures of late at conventions, but if you are unable to attend horror conventions and do not want to pay the usual rate of $10-$20 for a signature per photo, this could be the way to go. The current ebay auction has a starting [...]

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 [...]

After the success of Part 3, I was surprised that Paramount decided to make their next movie in the franchise the last. I was young when the The Final Chapter was released in theaters, I believe I was 10. However, even then I was stunned that they would stop making them. Of course, The Final Chapter also [...]

UPDATE: The owner of the property has asked that the images be pulled which I gladly have obliged to do.

I came across this photo at Your Props.com and I think it would be great to own this piece of the franchise. This was made for the original death scene where Roy was to have his head decapitated, however, he filmmakers decided to have Roy impaled on the spikes at the foot of the barn [...]

“Germaniac” has been a busy boy and with the help of Google Earth and the The Friday the 13th Community we now seem to have the filming location of A New Beginning.  I am pretty sure this is it, but check out the photos below to see for yourself. If anyone lives near this area, see if [...]
