Friday the 13th: Part III 3-D Advert From 1982!

Friday the 13th: Part III utilized a new 3-D technique that used silver screens instead of the normal white. Friday the 13th: Part III became the most lucrative 3-D film of all time and that remained until Sky Kids 3-D and of course slaughtered by numerous movies since the recent 3-D craze in Hollywood.

Part III's Paul Kratka and Tracie Savage Reunite in The Bone Garden (2013) as Norman and Alice Hardy

from: The Bone Garden

Here's a neat little film in post-production starring some Friday the 13th familiars. The plot sounds really entertaining and the trailer also looks pretty good. The movie was written and directed by Mike Gutridge and  stars Tracie Savage as Alice Hardy, Paul Kratka as Norman Hardy and Ron Millkie as Detective Meeker. The story takes place in Carpenter County, an obvious nod to John Carpenter and also a nearby-place spoken about in Friday the 13th: Part VI.

Friday the 13th: Part VII Shooting Location

GeneralLeeFanatic from the FrightStuff.com forum recently made a trip to Stockton, Alabama to visit the shooting location of Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood. Obviously all that's left is the lake, some remnants of a dock and a firetruck (appears to be the one used in the movie) rusting into the ground. The two homes used in the movie were only shells without any interiors. All of the exteriors were shot in Alabama and the interiors in various places in California.

Todd Caldecott (Friday the 13th: Part VIII) (credited as Todd Shaffer) is now an author of at least three critically acclaimed books on nutrition and a Medical Nutritionist in Canada. Who would have thought the care-free prankster Jim from Jason Takes Manhattan had it in him!

Which Came First?

Well, obviously we know The Wind (also known as Edge of Terror) had this artwork first since the star of The Wind, Meg Foster, is depicted in the artwork. But strangely enough, The Wind was released in the USA in November of 1987 and Friday the 13th: Part V was of course released in 1985. However, this is the poster for the theatrical run in Turkey, which started January of 1987. So that being said, this poster was released to theaters (probably) January of 1987 when The Wind wasn't released until November. So, perhaps the direct-to-video The Wind had its cover art long before its release.

What Became of the Hired-Then-Fired Jason Voorhees, Dan Bradley?

Dan Bradley has only gone on to become the most sought after action-scene stunt coordinators. Long gone are the days where he was fired from an acting and stunt job as Jason Voorhees for being too 'portly.' Bradley has since done some very large-scale action movies, most notable the Bourne series.
