This kill is affectionately called a more personal name by many in the Friday the 13th community. However, no matter what different name you know the kill by, the reaction is the same amongst fans and that is the uncensored kill is much more graphic and enjoyable to watch. It is a morbid statement, but Friday fans want more carnage and gore to satisfy their cravings. That being said, the behind-the-scenes action on-set paints the picture the fans want to see.

While the images of the axe face kill show a more crisp and clear idea of what the make-up looked like for the kill, the raw footage of the kill that was featured on the 2026 box set From Crystal Lake to Manhattan as well as the 2026 Deluxe Edition DVD is awesome as shown in the video compilation below.

In all, the Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood is a great entry in the series, but leaves the audience experience empty due to the MPAA cuts. If fans could get the unedited version of the film they want and deserve, you could see The New Blood skyrocket to the Top 3 in many fans’ lists of the best in the Friday franchise. The axe face kill is a personal favorite of this writer and I hope one day the raw footage can be cleaned up and made into a usable print for home viewing!

Harold’s appetite along with the bad 3D snake-on-a-wire effect eventually landed him on the toilet and then to his death. The opening of Friday the 13th Part 3 has always been one part explainable, one part confusion. It is understandable that Jason stopped at the store to get a new change of clothes while on the run from the authorites because of the carnage he left behind at the counselor training center. However, after getting his new clothes, why did he stick around and kill Harold and Edna?

Was Jason hiding out in that back room and because Harold quickly ran back there to go to the bathroom, Jason felt threatened and decided to kill Harold? If true, then perhaps if Harold didn’t stuff his face full of crap, as Edna liked to say it, then maybe Jason would have disappeared on his way to Higgens Haven and the store owners would have made it out of the situation alive?

On Friday August 13th, Sideshow revealed plans for a new Premium Format statue representing Jason from Friday the 13th Part 3. Some of the small images were teaser pics used to generate buzz and that it did as there were a number of lengthy discussions pertaining to the cost and availability of such a statue. Since then, collectors have been waiting to see what the finished product may look like. Now, we have our first glimpse of the finished statue.

Sideshow released their first pic of Jason in classic Part 3 action. Check out the pic below, discuss your thoughts and look for news on a release date and price in the near future!

Aint It Cool News posted the first crew photo from the film Room and Board, which we mentioned last week as part of a press release. The film stars Kane Hodder along with fellow Friday the 13th alumn Darcy DeMoss (Nikki, Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part 6) as well as Burt Reynolds and Robert Patrick.

Check out the photo below and let us know what you think of Kane sporting the Frozen shirt and a very cute looking Darcy DeMoss!

We covered the Profiles in History auction back in April/May 2026, where many items from the 2026 Friday the 13th film were auctioned off to lucky bidders. Many of the big ticket items, including the screen-used machete and hockey mask, were sold for many thousands of U.S. dollars. Well, curiosity got the better of us and we wondered how much some of the more obscure items from the new film sold for.

Below we have listed a few of the items, there relationship in the 2026 film and how much they sold for. Some prices may seem very expensive at first glance, but in the world of movie prop collecting, the selling prices may be very minimal.

Hero metal wok with wooden handle
Used as a shield by Arlen Escarpeta’s character “Lawrence” to defend himself against Jason.

Jason’s creepy doll
Picked up by Jared Padalecki’s character “Clay”. Cloth body with porcelain head, hands, and feet.

Near the end of September we mentioned that there would be a big horror convention in Germany featuring a number of Friday the 13th stars and with the convention fast approaching next weekend, November 12-14, we figured we would remind our visitors of the event. Also, there have been a few additional guests announced and one cancellation. Adrienne King looks to have dropped out, but Ari Lehman and Monica Keena have joined the festivities. More information is listed below on the event. If you are attending, it would be great to hear your stories and see your pics!

It’s been a while since we featured some of One’s Customs Friday the 13th custom work and with Halloween now past us, it’s time to get ready for the holiday gift giving season. If you’re a fan of the series, and why would you not be if you’re hear reading this, then you will definitely enjoy One’s recent work. Currently, he completed  some head sculpts for Roy from Friday the 13th: A New Beginning and Jason from Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan. Both of the sculpts are highy detailed and would be great on a full body representation of the characters.

The head sculpts featured below are at 1/6 scale. If you’re interested in finding out more about these sculpts and how much it would cost to get one for yourself, send One’s Customs a message at his Youtube channel and get yourself a great custom Jason or Roy today!

Of late, a few of the creative minds behind the New Line Cinema Jason Voorhees films are now being linked to other modern iconic horror legends. Just announced yesterday, Adam Marcus, Director of Jason Goes To Hell is currently writing Leatherface 3D. Todd Farmer, writer of Jason X, is attached to write the remake of Hellraiser. Since these two are helping with other iconic figures, we wondered if they would ever come back to the franchise that helped jumpstart their careers.

Todd Farmer was recently asked that very question on Formspring. Below is his response.

I would be wary. Would depend on where Swift and Shannon stood as well as who was involved behind the scenes. Dunno. Gone down that road annoying results. Would need to be some planetary alignment…and a fair amount of green I’d guess.

It might take a little push to get Todd to come back and I wonder how he would direct the story of the franchise? Would he be a good choice to write new adventures? What previous writer and director from the Friday the 13th series do our visitors think would be good choices to come back to the franchise.

Today is the day that many people celebrate for tricks or treats. Everyone dresses up in the their favorite costume in hopes of either scaring at least one person or to show off a favorite character. Although, it is fun to celebrate the holiday in its commercial form, lets not forget the core origins of the festival of the dead. If you are not aware of the history of Halloween or would like a refresher, visit this website for more information.

And, not to leave out the Friday the 13th franchise from this celebrated day, check out some truly awesome Friday the 13th themed pumpkins. The first two images were submitted via Twitter by user @ntmyslftdy. The other images were found by us for today’s post. Everyone have a fun day today. If you have any fun and interesting stories from past or present Halloween seasons, let us know!

One of my favorite things to collect, and one of my original reasons for beginning the hobby of collecting Friday the 13th memoribilia, are press kits. These kits are sent to media outlets to help promote the film before it is released in theaters across the country. Press kits like this do not get prodiced anymore. Press kits now are produced electronically, unless special occasions arise. Electronic press kits today are normally delivered on a small USB flash drive or by DVD.

Nothing beats the physical kits, however. Take a look at the video below and let us know your thoughts and if you collect these items as well!
