One major point of emphasis for the negativity of the 2024 Friday the 13th was the fact that Jason lived in underground tunnels at the abandoned Camp Crystal Lake. Many fans could not understand where the tunnels came from and failed to realize that the tunnels were part of an old mine that had long since been abandoned. The debate raged on for a while as to where Jason really would have set up shop, so to speak. In Friday the 13th Part 2 Jason’s make-shift shack was located deep in the woods and seemed to be a suitable situation for him to live. However, once the shack was found, he was forced to go on the run and hide out...

Over the last decade, many of the fan favorite horror films have been remade or rebooted to reenergize dead franchises so to not only reintroduce a new generation of film-goers to these properties but also make more money for the studios. Going all the way back to 1998, Bride of Chucky was such a movie. The film was packaged as a sequel, but a seven year hiatus and a complete change in tone to the franchise clearly signaled that Bride of Chucky was indeed a reboot. The film was successful in reinventing itself and went on to make Universal Pictures a huge profit. The movie that really kicked off the horror remake boom was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Platinum Dunes remake...

So, this week’s conversation doesn’t necessarily pertain to the movies, but our great website. I have been writing here on this website for close to 2 years and have seen a lot of visitors and topics come and go. I think most of the series topics and news we bring to our visitors is worthy of the history of this website. However, curiosity has grabbed my attention and now I have to ask everyone a simple question. What do you like in a Friday the 13th website? There are websites, Friday the 13th related or not, that offer certain areas of interest to their visitors. If you had to choose one thing about a website that most interests you what...

The earlier Friday the 13th films always wanted to leave the audience with one final jump scare. Usually, this tactic was rolled out in the form of a dream sequence. Friday the 13th Part 2, however, had a very confusing dream sequence that to this day has left fans still scratching their heads, wondering what really happened. Friday the 13th: A New Beginning has also produced a feeling of confusion due to its end dream sequences. Immediately following the infamous scene of Tommy seeing a vision of Jason in front of his hopsital bed, Tommy gets out of bed and opens a drawer which contains his clothes and Roy’s hockey mask. It has been a popular topic as to...

Mrs. Voorhees began her murderous ways when she dispatched of Camp Crystal Lake Counselors Barry and Claudette in the beginning of Friday the 13th (1980). It has been widely believed by fans that Barry and Claudette’s murders were a random act by Mrs. Voorhees in her rage to get revenge over Jason drowning the year before. However, what if Barry and Claudette were the two counselors responsible for watching Jason while he was swimming. It is an interesting added dynamic to the film that would show that Mrs. Voorhees was truly ready to do whatever it took to avenge Jason’s death and make sure no one else would ever set foot on the Camp Crystal Lake property again. What...

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter is to many fans the best of the series. The movie not only offers some of the most brutal kills in the horror franchise, but quite possibly the best death of Jason. The machete to the side of the skull of Jason is a definitive image in fan’s minds. However, what if Jason died the original way that writer Barney Cohen intended? According to Barney Cohen, his original idea was to have the machete swung straight down on top of Jason’s skull, splitting it in half. This would have dealt Jason a definitive blow that would have obliterated Jason for good. However, the kill was changed before filming to what we now have the pleasure of...

Growing up with the series, most of the fans have watched a lot of actors appear in one film and then give way to more actors in subsequent movies. Every Friday the 13th has provided at least one actor that viewers have wanted to meet in person. It used to be next to impossible to meet the people that helped bring our favorite characters to life. However, the world has changed and now the many actors of the Friday the 13th franchise are becoming more available everyday. Twitter, Facebook and the ever growing convention circuit are making what seemed like a mere afterthought a few years ago a true reality. So, if you had your one chance to meet your favorite stars of...

A lot of us grew up during the 80′s and the renaissance of the horror genre. Not only were slashers huge, but classic monsters were being revived such as vampires and werewolves. Special make-up effects were all of the rage in Hollywood and the horror genre gave many artists a chance to expand their craft and take movie making into a much broader horizon. The fans were the beneficiaries of this horror boom and as such many of us fans were able to witness some truly awesome films as children, even though we probably shouldn’t have seen much of what was released. With that being said, when did you first see a Friday the 13th film and how old were you? If you...

This topic was debated a lot last year. However, with dust settling, so to speak, and now having some extra time passing since the film’s release, it was though that this discussion could be revisted again. Many fans were not happy with the how Jason found the hockey mask in Friday the 13th (2009). It sounds nitpicky to some, however fans are always up to discussing their likes and dislikes of their favorite Crystal Lake slasher. The theatrical version had Jason discovering the mask quite randomly, lying on the floor after the dispatching of Donnie in the barn. However, the cut scene not only has Jason finding the hockey mask in a different way, but explaining why Jason was...

Ever since ‘Freddy vs Jason’ was released back in 2024, comics, action figures, and even the Friday the 13th reboot from 2024 have featured Jason Voorhees sporting some variation of a jacket. Fans of the series have been up in arms ever since 2024 on this Jason attire and have been pleading producers of the aforementioned products and films to stop the madness. The fan cries have fallen on deaf ears as even the new Sideshow Polystone figure, “The Terror of Crystal Lake” has Jason wearing a jacket. Who thinks that Jason wearing a jacket is no big deal or if you are not a fan of his jacket wearing ways, what do you think he should be wearing...
