Friday The 13th DVD stills of the week.

The DVD stills this week are from Friday The 13th (1980), Part II & Part III. Basically, I sort of want to convey my opinion on a widely debated topic-- where is Crystal Lake? Some people will swear up and down that it's in Connecticut because of a latter (shitty) movie all of s sudden stating that Camp Crystal Lake is indeed in Connecticut. Then there are the very rare few who state that it's in Massachusetts because of the Eric Morse novels which put Crystal Lake in that state.

I am one of the individuals that say "first come, first serve" and say since Parts I - III put it in New Jersey that is where Crystal Lake is. Let's look at it this way; if the franchise ended at this point Camp Crystal Lake would indeed be in New Jersey, right? Correct!

Friday The 13th behind the scenes photos of the week.

Again, courtesy of His Name Was Jason here are some behind the scenes photos of Doug's death in Friday The 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter. I really dig the whole behind the scenes footage from this movie. We really did not get to see any of this for any of the movies but this one. Sadly, it's all lost and gone so we will probably never unless someone other than Paramount has it.

What is so great about this behind the scenes footage is that we really get to see how these kills were done and what went into them-- that's pretty freaking awesome! In these photos you can sort of see what went into Doug's death and that his head was merely a bust prop with no animatronics/controlled eyes, just a tongue, glass eyes and blood flow.

Into The Pit: The Shocking Story Of DeadPit.com workprint review.

I was not one of the lucky individuals to see this screened at the Fright Night Film Fest, so getting the workprint on DVD was the second best option. I figured I should grab this while it's available because there is no set date for the official DVD release and quite frankly I am not a fan of waiting for a DVD to come out only to be pushed back a few times.

Friday The 13th behind the scenes photos of the week.

Once again, from the His Name Was Jason DVD, here are some behind the scenes shots of Bonnie Hellman's death in Friday The 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter. In one close up shot you can clearly see the genius of Tom Savini and how he rigged a rubber knife on a track beside her neck and out the front. I have to say that is pretty crafty and always wondered how they did this gag because it looked so real, in my opinion.

Monster Mania 13 Part V reunion.

Rahl from the Night Owl board attended Monster Mania 13 and had this pic snapped of another great Part V reunion with Carol Locatell, Miguel A Nunez, Shavar Ross and Ron Sloan! Awesome! Check out the rest of his pictures of the convention right here!

My new "Roy" Bohr/Dark Side Studios.

Until Night Owl releases their Dick Head Roy mask, this will have to do. I am not a huge fan of this sculpt, but it does has it's charm. This one was sculpted by Jeremy Bohr and painted by Dark Side Studios. I am not liking the eyes, so I will have them repainted as well as the brows punched as apposed to glued.

Not to knock the painter-- it is painted fine, I am just anal. With some added highlights and tweaks here and there this will be a show-quality piece! The pull is super thick so it stands up well as a bust- I think I will have it foam filled as well.

Part III General Store location found!

This was on the F13 blog and wanted to just give props to the dude who runs this site for finding this. I have no clue how he did since there were really no accurate details of the location that I know of. It does look like it is THE shooting location though. Is it sad that things like this gets me excited? I am still hunting down the shooting locations of The Burning- since it was shot over a 90 mile radius in Western, NY at at least a half-dozen locations it will be hard.

If anyone has any information about the Burning location get at me- I have found some small areas that it was shot at, but really nothing significant.

Stu Charno insanity.

I really wish Stu would upload more of these, some excerpts from his book "High Koo". I dunno, but I am convinced Stu is a tad bit insane. Check this video out and check out the others on his YouTube channel.

Friday The 13th behind the scenes photo of the week.

These photos come courtesy of the His Name Was Jason DVD. They are never before seen (before this time) photos of production of Friday The 13th Part II. For those of you who don't own that DVD (or have never seen it) these may be a real treat for you!

Here's Lauren-Marie Taylor with someone from the crew, apparently. Not exactly sure who the guy is- anyone know?

CLAD: Thom Mathews interview.

Thom Mathews as Tommy Jarvis

CLAD forum did a short interview with Thom Mathews, more known to us horror fans from Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives and Return Of The Living Dead. It's worth a read, however Thom was pretty short and a little condescending.

CLAD: Did you have relationships with any of the cast members? 

TM: Jimmy Karen and I spooned once. One time come on!
