eBay: Part 6 mask for sale from original!

Here it is- after much talk of actually doing it, here it is.I am not sure how expensive this will be bid up to but I imagine it would go as high as $800. It's a chance to own a piece of history, cast straight from C.J. Graham's actual mask.

This is a tooling master cast created directly from C.J. Graham’s original hockey mask used in the opening sequence of “Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives.”

This Jason Hockey Mask is approximately 9 ½”x 9”x 4” and made of a very thick and durable white urethane casting resin. This casting was made as part of a restoration and preservation process done with C.J. Graham’s original “screen used” title sequence mask. I am the person who was responsible for making and painting the original masks for Reel EFX for the 1986 production of “Jason Lives.”

I'm pretty psyched about this and hopefully a mask maker gets his hands on this so us collectors can have a reasonably priced reproduction in our collections! The mask also comes with a certificate of authenticity and a signature from C.J. Graham.

With all of the Tarallo vs. White debate on the origins of the Part III masks, here's a chance to get one from the real man of the 1986 mask, straight from him.

Much love: Part 3/4/5 "hero" mask.

WarLock from the Night Owl Productions forum just did this one up and man I love it. I am delighted about the recent love for this mask and it's been my favorite for a long time. Oddly enough, we only really see 10-15 seconds of this mask in Part V. It's the same mask used in Parts III & IV, of course more weathered and with more blood. Here's what WarLock said about it:

Well here it is... I've been wanting to do this style for a long time now and finally got around to it. I spent about 2 weeks on this one on and off to get it as close as I could to Dick Warlock's screen used hero mask. I reshaped it and gave the axe cut a warp just as it looks in the behind the scenes pics. The final look is something I've tried to achieve for a long time now. I almost don't want to let it go. Anyway, I will be shipping this one to AllHallowsGhost next week. On w/ the pickage! I'll try to post more if I get the chance.

Next to Crash's, this one has to be the best that I have seen. Hit him up if you want one, he's doing them up for people! For reference the one to the right is the real deal, owned by Dick Warlock himself.

What's up with the sack head?

We all know that Jason's sack mask in Friday The 13th Part II was done before in The Town That Dreaded Sundown, but was it really a stolen idea? Steve Dash was asked once about it and he pretty much said that he had no clue what inspired it. He did go on to say that Steve Miner ditched the idea in Friday The 13th Part III because of the complications that came with shooting- basically, the sack had to be taped down to his face with double-sided tape. He mentioned that when he would run the eye hole would move around and it made it hard to see. After many, many takes over many, many days removing the mask from the double-sided tape ended up ripping the top layers of skin off and made the ordeal painful.

Friday The 13th Blog: looking for post authors!

Love Friday The 13th? Write well? Have some free time? Well, why not write for the Friday The 13th Blog? Hell, I'd do it if I really wanted to write about the remake as much as the classic (That's parts I-V) saga- go check it out!

With Friday The 13th-mania coming into full swing I am sure there will be more than enough Friday The 13th news to post about! Looking forward to this and I really hope the franchise gets as popular as it was in the early to mid 1980's! Jason being re-born really gets me excited as I was nearly dead-tired of that zombie Jason bullshit.

Friday The 13th Part V modernized trailer.

Okay, I am most definitely a minority here, but I love Friday The 13th Part V. In my eyes it's the last good Friday The 13th movie before the franchise went to shit. I have already touched on this, and this trailer from From The Morgue is fucking awesome.

The Dead Strut Their Stuff at Phoenix Comicon

The Dead Strut Their Stuff at Phoenix Comicon

Phoenix – The Phoenix Comicon summons the dead, or undead to be exact, to walk among the living during the Zombie Beauty Pageant and the Zombie Walk at the Mesa Convention Center.

"The zombie community is ravenous," said Jenny Brundage, Horror Programming Manager, "And they're going to be here in full force!"

The zombie sightings will begin during the Phoenix Comicon Preview Night, Thursday January 22^nd. They will be gathering at 6pm in the open grass area by registration, and will then walk, shamble, and lurch through the surrounding area.

"Hunger is a serious issue, so we're combining this with a food drive," said Matt Solberg, Convention Director. "Non-perishable food only—St. Vincent de Paul won't accept fresh brains."

The undead festivities continue after the walk with the Zombie Beauty Pageant. Audience members and dismembers will enjoy laughter, screams, and delightful performances by reanimated beauties. A surprise celebrity host will entertain and discourage zombie attacks.

"Dressing in costume will increase your chance at survival," warned Brundage.

The Phoenix Comicon is Arizona's largest, multi-media and popular arts convention, focusing on comic books, anime, gaming, music, and film. The Comicon presents a full weekend schedule of guests and programming for hobbyists by attracting the top segments of the comics, anime, and gaming worlds. For more information visit www.phoenixcomicon.com.

As a sidenote, Dean Lorey (writer on IX and Jason X, also cameo role involving a grate) and Erin Gray (part IX) are both guests, and will even be on a horror movies panel together.

Roy Burns.

You know, not enough people pay homage to Friday The 13th Part V. I personally love that movie and aside from it's campiness, which I sort of compare to Cheerleader Camp, the movie probably was the last Friday The 13th movie with that Friday The 13th formula and atmosphere. People generally complain that Jason is not in the film, ergo the movie is bad- but, Jason is in the film and the movie is easily better than anything that came after it. Roy as a killer was as brutal as Jason- he was relentless and very creative with his kills and his mask was just sweet!

15 more Friday The 13th photos.

Thanks again to Shock Till You Drop, we have 15 more photos from the upcoming Friday The 13th movie. Again, I am very pleased with that I see- the atmosphere seems to be very much like Friday The 13th Part II (1981) in a way.

Check out the rest.

Fan film review: Cold Heart Of Crystal Lake

Cold Heart Of Crystal Lake being a relatively short fan film at around 15 minutes, it's one of the more impressive ones that I have seen. Editor/Producer/Director Joe Patnaud's vision of a cold, snowy Crystal Lake woods really delivers in the atmosphere department giving us a Jason in an army jacket. I first thought it was silly, but then again Jason's jackets in Freddy vs. Jason and the upcoming remake look far worse.
