Stephen King Yearned to Write an ‘Existential’ Horror Novel About Friday the 13th‘s Jason

Watching a hockey mask-wearing killer murder dozens of campers in the Friday the 13thfranchise may not scream: “We need his point of view!” But it turns out horror icon Stephen King’s “best novel idea” he never penned was the story of, you guessed it, the indescribably immortal Jason Voorhees. In a series of tweets (as…

What’s Your Favorite Friday the 13th Movie?

Of course this hell week ends in a Friday the 13th. Of course it does. The world just went through one of the most shocking, surprising, horrible weeks in recent memory so the fact it’s ending on a day synonymous with bad luck is just the cherry on top. At least the fact it’s Friday…

Thanos Faces Horror’s Most Iconic Villains in This Killer Photo

Even with the help of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes couldn’t defeat Thanos. But maybe a bloodier solution would do the trick. What if five icons of horror decided to battle the Mad Titan instead? We’ll never know how that would actually play out, but toy photographer Allen “Jax” Navarro made it…

We Love This Idea for a Friday the 13th Spinoff

It’s Jason Voorhees vs. Boba Fett! Not really. But kind of. Friday the 13th fans may remember the character Creighton Duke, played by Steven Williams, from 1993’s Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. He was a bounty hunter and an expert in Voorhees lore who chased after Jason with a plan to kill him…

Please Don’t Make Another Friday the 13th Movie

Since 1980, hockey-masked slasher Jason Voorhees has starred in 12 movies, including the Friday the 13th remake, the one set in space, and that one where he fought Freddy Krueger. Friday the 13th: Part 13 certainly has a catchy ring to it, but the reality is that the proposed sequel has been in struggle mode for…

The Producers of the New Friday the 13th Movie Promise It’s Still Happening

The 13th Friday the 13th movie has been lurking in the shadows so long we’d almost given up on it. But it’s still a go—and in a recent interview, Platinum Dunes’ Brad Fuller and Andrew Form spilled a few vague/tantalizing details on the forthcoming reboot from director Breck Eisner. Here’s what we learned. The movie…

The Next Friday the 13th Movie Will Be a Jason Voorhees Origin Story

Much like its hockey-masked killer, the Friday the 13th franchise is apparently immortal, surviving hell, outer space, a bout with Freddy Krueger, and a 2009 reboot. That said, it’s taken a rather long time to get to the series’ much-anticipated 13th installment—but now we’ve gotten some intriguing news. According to the Reel Word, once the…

Friday the 13th is Coming to TV with a “Grounded” Jason Voorhees

Part of what makes the Friday the 13th franchise so much fun is the absurdity of Jason Voorhees as a killer. He’s an impossibility, which makes him scary, but now The CW is developing a new TV show that will most likely change that by grounding him in reality. Deadline broke the news of the…

Mr. Potato Head has had more alternate identities than even Barbie at this point, but his latest disguises have taken a turn towards the macabre. Although, these Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees Potato Heads do make Fry-day the 13th feel a little less spooky. Available later this year just in time for your Halloween celebrations,…
