Savini and Buechler Spottings

So, living close to Los Angeles I get to see some of the legendary Friday the 13th filming locations on Topanga Canyon Blvd, Green Valley, Newhall and Saugus. But I also see some people from the films from time to time. Here are a couple interesting sightings I had recently. I saw John Carl Buechler (SFX; Friday the 13th: Part VII) in Starbucks in North Hollywood and Tom Savini (SFX; Friday the 13th: Part IV) at LAX when I was arriving in LA.

Dana Kimmell's Stunt Double Marguerite Happy

from: Teddy O'Toole's Stunt Performers

Marguerite is still an active stunt woman and director of a professional rodeo circuit out of Saugus, California - where Part III was filmed. She did Dana Kimmell's fall from the window in Friday the 13th: Part III when she was being attacked by Jason as well as the stand-in and stunt performer in the (maybe, maybe not filmed) alternate ending to the movie where Chris is beheaded.

Rachel Howard Today

We all loved her as the bong-toking Chili in Friday the 13th: Part III. Today she still has the same beautiful hazel eyes and killer chiseled smile. I personally feel she is a greatly underrated Friday the 13th girl and is generally passed over because of her not-so-amazing hair style in the movie. In my opinion, she was one of the best looking girls in the franchise.

Deborah "Debi-Sue" Voorhees Selling Nude Pics to Fund UK Visit

from: Misty Moon

Since a good majority of the hits on this blog come here from a keyword associated with Deborah (Debisue) Voorhees (no kidding, there's a lot) I wanted to give her a nice plug. These old photos of Deborah are downright stunning and a must have for any fan.

Would Jason Kill a Child?

Friday the 13th: Part IV

It seems like every board I go on that debates the Friday the 13th films, this subject is discussed. Most people side with the notion that Jason would not kill a child. I am not sure why people come up with this conclusion, since most of those people will agree that Jason is a mindless killer who's driven out of vengeance and evil (whether possessed or an embodiment).

Fan Film Review: Friday the 13th: Extraction

Friday the 13th: Extraction is a neat little fan film released in (what I can tell) 2012 directed by Samuel Farmer of Chance In Hell Productions . The plot centers around a private military defense company who sends a party to Crystal Lake to capture Jason Voorhees in what they believe is to finally put a stop to the killing.

I Have Warned Thee...

Clem David Wiechman (David Wiley), who's known to Friday the 13th fans as the resident prophet of doom Abel in Friday the 13th: Part III had a long career in show business, but is more known as a recording engineer to many stars including Elvis Presley. Here's something I found about him on www.Elvis-collectors.com.

Japanese Jason III Revoltech Playset From Kaiyodo

from: cartoonandhorror

Japan always has the best things and this Friday the 13th: Part III Jason Voorhees is evidence. Now long in print and I am a bit behind on posting this, but it's still a good find for those who do not know about this yet. It's easy to find on Amazon for anywhere from $45 to $60.

A Shot of the New Owner of the Jason "Hero" Hockey Mask

So, by now it's very old news that Dick Warlock sold his beloved hockey mask. And for those Friday the 13th nerds out there-- like me-- who salivated over this mask combo for years, here's a nice shot of Dick passing the reigns over to the new (and obviously proud) owner Dario Latinovic. This is the screen-used hockey mask worn by Jason in Friday the 13th: Part III (at the end), IV and V and used as a template for the masks used in the later films. It's definitely an important one-of-a-kind piece of Friday the 13th memorabilia.
