Very good Paul Kratka interview by Stone Cold Crazy blog!

Another great interview from the guy who did probably one of the two best Danny Steinmann interviews out there (the other is on DeadPit.com). I really enjoyed reading this interview, so enjoy!

JC: What other acting had you done before Friday the 13th Part III?

PK: Well, I had been studying privately in North Hollywood, studying acting and just scrambling around trying to get jobs. I was doing some on-camera spokesman work, some commercials, and had done a small part on General Hospital.

Horror movie review Thursday: Final Stab (2001)

"Angela's sister wants to make a revenge game up on her, inviting to mystery farm her old friends, to participate into a game with fake blood and knifes - but Angela and her disturbed boyfriend Charlie were not supposed to know about the fake part. But what starts as a little friendly game, get dark and bloody with real deaths - and sure, real blood and knifes."

The plot, in my opinion, was already done, but pretty unique. The plot alone kept me tuned in the entire movie-- it's an easy catch because we all want to know who did it! I am a sucker for movies like this good and bad, so it's really easy to be biased. It was released in Europe as Final Scream, so yeah-- name recognition before good content.

Funny Tom Morga clip.

This may be amusing for some of us A New Beginning fans, so I just wanted to share this. It's a cleverly done/edited little piece and again, Tom Morga really is not that great of an actor-- at least not back then.

DVD still of the week: Jason Takes Manhattan

So, back to this atrocity of a movie- one more screen capture from the cut footage of the film. Here's Timothy Burr Mirkovich (Young Jason) crawling out of Jason's mouth while he's drowning in sewage. Some people have wondered how Young Jason got into the sewer and how Jason transformed into Young Jason. Well, he did not transform- Young Jason crawled out of his mouth and Jason disintegrated-- sounds better, right?

Now I can see why they opted with the edit where it looks like that Jason turned into Young Jason over this abomination!

Friday The 13th 2010: My Wish List

So, with Friday The 13th 2009 being such a great success we are being (blessed) with another installment-- probably in 3-D and if the rumors are correct without Derek Mears. Although Brad Fuller has said Mears will indeed come back, you never know. A couple months back some rumors surfaced that the chode Tim Sylvia will be donning the mask for the sequel and I have to say that would be a fucking mistake. Not only does his body look out of shape and portly, but he just does not have the body of Jason Voorhees.

Another rumor floating around is that the opening sequence will take place in the Winter, which has been something a good amount of fans has wanted for some time now. I'm on the fence about it as long as it's done right, it may work. I mean, Camp Crystal Lake supposed to be in the Northeast USA, which is infamous for it's snow so it makes sense.

Behind the scenes photos of the week: Part III

indHere's a handful of behind the scenes photos from Friday The 13th Part III. Clockwise from the left: 1) Richard Brooker wearing the Part 3 stunt hock used for the axe chop to the head. 2) The slit throat gag from Lerry Zerner's (Shelly) death scene. 3) Richard Brooker (Jason) wearing Stan Winston's mask in between shots during Chili's poker death. 4) Director Steve Miner and (what seems to be writers Martin Kitrosser and Karen Kitrosser-Watson. 5) A shot from the long-lost alternate ending. 6) Special Effects master Douglas J. White applying make-up to Marilyn Poucher (Mrs. Voorhees).

Video Dead will premier on MGM HD in HD!

For fans of this little movie- such as myself- this should be a great treat for us! MGM HD is one of the more underrated HD channels out there (any channel who plays Motel Hell in HD is cool in my book!) and they will be showing The Video Dead starting November 1st at 11pm EST and will be playing throughout the month.

For those of you who have never seen this movie, it's about a zombie outbreak via an old possessed TV! It's got the same feel of other 80's obscure and marginally good gems such as Terrorvision, Night Of The Comet and Chopping Mall. To see what you are missing, here are some comparisons with the VHS and the new HD transfer below!

Be sure to visit The Video Dead on DVD Myspace to help get this thing released legitimately!

Friday The 13th Part II: August 13, 2010?

Looks like it is indeed coming!

Friday the 13th Part 2 Date Official

October 1, 2009


New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. made it official today. Friday the 13th Part 2, a sequel to this year's Friday the 13th, is slated to hit on August 13, 2010.

Brad Fuller and Andrew Form tipped us off back in June right here, that if all goes according to plan, that was the date they were looking at. Fuller stresses to us, however, that the sequel still does not have a greenlight.

Damian Shannon and Mark Swift will return to write. And Derek Mears will absolutely be back to reprise his role as Jason Voorhees, contrary to the many wild rumors running around on the web.
