Steve Miner Visits Vancouver Film School

from: blog.vfs.com

I am a tad too late on this article, but it is interesting that Steve Miner was actually acknowledging Friday The 13th: Part II (but no mention of Part III). He was talking to the class about making good movies with a limited budget.

Ted White Autograph from 1960!

Obviously getting Ted White's (Friday the 13th: Part IV) signature now is quite easy. But when I first started collecting it took me about 4 years of leads to even find his address to write to him and ask for one. Then it took me 3 or 4 tries to have him respond and when he did in 2003 I was ecstatic  Ted had not yet stepped into the spotlight that he well deserved and was still considered an actor who was distancing himself.

Jason Was My Son...

Connie Hogan and Marilyn Poucher, two people asked to fill in for Mrs. Voorhees in Friday the 13th Parts II and III respectively. Both have had very successful lives outside of the genre.

Juliette Cummins' Message to Psycho Fans!

At nearly 50 years old, Juliette is still beautiful. She's a very kind woman whose a proud owner of a pet wolf! How cool is that? Apparently she still lives in the California area, teaches Spanish at Reedley High School and makes convention appearances from time to time.

Life and Death on the A-List available on DVD

from: corcoranproductions.com

Director and producer Jay Corcoran has made this chilling documentary available on DVD for the first time for $29.99. I have a bad VHS rip to DVDr paying around somewhere and I was told that this has a lot better transfer (nor sure if from 35mm or what) than the rare VHS copies that were being sold for $50+.

Two for Part II

You thought the Part II poster from Turkey was great; there's a better one from Thailand. This one even has Jeff and Sandra getting busy... I am assuming that's who it is. Maybe it is Mark and Vicky!

News Archive: John Sherrod's Death

Ted White and John Sherrod filming 

A lot of times I have seen John Sherrod's death noted as a stunt accident on set. However, I did find out that it was not true. John Sherrod, stuntman and stunt coordinator in Friday The 13th III, IV and V, was killed in an automobile accident.

Steve Susskind in the Roommates

Steve Susskind in Friday the 13th: Part III

Before Steve Susskind (Friday the 13th: Part III) was the easy-to-love nitwit Harold, he was a pop star in the du-wop trio called the Roommates who had hit records with "Please Love Me Forever" (with Cathy Jean) and "The Glory of Love" in 1961.

Roy Figure

from: Evilface.com

Stumbled across this great Roy figure on www.evilface.com. I really love all the love for A New Beginning! He explains why he made ole Roy:

Sideshow Collectible did a incredible run of horror figures, including almost every Friday The 13th Jason and his mother. But for some reason they didn't complete the line excluding Jason from Part 8 and "Roy" from Part 5. Well I decided to make my own Part 5 Roy "Jason" figure.
