Friday Conversation: The Coolest Moment In The Franchise

We spend a good amount of time complaining about timeline inconsistancies, bad musical scores, subpar writing and acting, and poor direction. I thought, for a change, we should focus on all of the fun, exciting, and truly cool moments in the franchise. This is an open ended chance for our visitors to express to everyone [...]

“Now Playing” Podcast Review of Friday the 13th Franchise

Last year, Now Playing Podcasts reviewed the entire franchise one movie at a time, each week, leading up to the release of the reboot. Each movie review lasts between 45 minutes to an hour and is pretty entertaining. Sometimes the people in the review can come off as uninformed about the franchise, but they went [...]

Larry Zerner Talks Conan/Leno Debacle

Larry Zerner Talks Conan/Leno Debacle

Since Larry is in the entertainment law business, he was interviewed by the Legal tabloid website, Above The Law, about the legal ramifications of the Conan O’Brien and Jay Leno fallout. I think the topic is interesting and also am happy to see Larry recognized as someone with real input into such a hot button [...]

Jason Goes To Hell Demon Model Set For Sale

Jason Goes To Hell Demon Model Set For Sale

Last September I wrote about the history of this set that was created by KNB. This demon model set was supposed to be used for the final scene where the hell demons pull Jason underground to hell. Unfortunately, time constraints kept the model set from being used for the film. Read about the full history [...]

Clarification on Chat Box Feature

A lot of you have been stopping by the new chat box and we have had some good conversations. The number one problem we have had to this point is that visitors type a message and then do not see any responses, even though they see other people in the chat. The reason the responses [...]

Jason Lives: First Day Of Shooting, Dan Bradley as Jason Voorhees

Shooting commenced on Jason Lives on Monday March 10, 1986. For those that do not know, Dan Bradley played Jason Voorhees for the first week of the shoot of Jason Lives. The first day of shooting, which included Dan Bradley, was the famous paintball scene. Dan’s scenes were left intact and used for the final movie, but [...]

Setting Up The Scene: Eva's Death, Jason Takes Manhattan

Setting Up The Scene: Eva’s Death, Jason Takes Manhattan

Jason Takes Manhattan is one of those movies, for me, that is awesome in some parts and atrocious in others. Personally, there’s enough apsects of the movie to make me like it enough to rewatch it from time to time. One of my favorite scenes in the movie is when Jason chases Eva into the [...]

Pick Out the Death Scene In Unique Artwork

I found these really cool pieces of art browsing forums a few days ago and I thought everyone would get a kick out of trying to pick out which character is which and what their death scene was. Can you remember who the victim is and where in the movie they were killed. Have fun and [...]

Custom Part 3 and Jason Lives Figures

One of our frequent visitors to the site, SirMWK, recently posted some pics of his custom Part 3 and Jason Lives figures at the Benevolent Street Forum and I have to say that I really like the detail on The Jason Lives figure. The Part 3 Jason looks very imposing and the face sculpt is [...]

Production Crew Challenge: The Composers

Production Crew Challenge: The Composers

Now, I am sure that many of you will see this and think to yourself, why are we even bothering to vote. Well, there were similar instances, like this one, where it may seem blatantly obvious who should win. However, there are people who may think differently than the majority and should have an opportunity [...]

Japanese Pachinko Machine Features Freddy vs Jason

Japanese Pachinko Machine Features Freddy vs Jason

I am still amazed at the number of products that are created for the franchise. Would you ever think that you would see a gaming machine like a slot machine created for Friday the 13th? Well, in Japan, they have a similar type of machine called Pachinko and these machines reside in Pachinko parlors, much [...]

More Love For Jason On Goalie Mask

We featured his goalie masks back in November, now one of the visitors to our website, Derek Meluzio, has emailed in to share with us a new and updated goalie mask design featuring Jason Voorhees.
Jason Bacashihua recently updated his goal mask. The same basic design remains but when you look closer you can see not only [...]

Preview: 1/6 Scale

Preview: 1/6 Scale “The Final Chapter” Statue

I write a lot about collectable figures and statues and I know there is a huge market out there for the fans of the franchise. Sideshow Collectables is  currently working on a new statue of Jason Voorhees and while we await the final product, I thought everyone should see a preview of the 1/6 scale [...]

I know that #6 has been out for a couple of weeks, but we were finally able to read and review the finale to this new comic series. Thanks to DC Comics for supplying us with the comics for review. From a fan’s perspective, I thought the Jason character was handled well througout the series. [...]

Production Crew Challenge: The Directors Results

Production Crew Challenge: The Directors Results

A very close vote between two directors in the franchise. In essence, this had the look of a four director race between McLoughlin, Zito, Miner and Cunningham. There was a very narrow margin of victory here, but I don’t think too many fans will be disappointed. I really thought more votes would have gone for [...]

Another 80’s Home Movie Format for Friday the 13th

Last Spring we wrote about a home video format that some, including myself, had never heard of. CED Selectavision discs were vinyl discs created by RCA as an alternative to VHS and Beta in the early 80’s. Now, our friend daizab has led us to another movie format from the early 80’s called VHD. Video High [...]

Fan Film: “Man In The Lake” Final Costume Pics

We mentioned a week ago that a new fan film, titled “Man In the Lake”, was going into production soon from Southlan-Films. We received the final costume pics from the production today and I think the final look of Jason looks great. Some fans have voiced displeasure with the jacket, but realistically if a guy [...]
