Petru Popescu: The Return

Touted as Romania's most famous "opposition" writer, most Friday the 13th fans know him as the uncredited  co-writer of Friday the 13th: Part III. Little is know how much of the Part III script he wrote, but hopefully we will know when he appears on the Crystal Lake Memories documentary.

He triumphed in suburban theater. Killed Jason in slasher flicks. Left the business and found God. Then returned and became a movie studio executive.

Friday the 13th Props Cameo

People probably rarely notice small set dressing and props in certain scenes of movies. But us Friday the 13th fans are notorious for knowing these movies frame by frame.

In Friday the 13th: Part III you can see a sign hanging near the clotheslines that says Look Out For The Locomotive when Edna is being watched by Jason.

Happy #87 Ted White!

It's widely know that Ted White was the oldest actor to have portrayed Jason Voorhees when he took the role in 1983 to be behind the mask in Friday the 13th: Part IV. Even at an older age (57) he put on the hockey mask and kicked ass, performing (as far as I know) every stunt in the movie.

Jori at Forced Viewing Speaks to Ted White

Jori with Ted White at Flashback Weekend, 2012
from: Forced Viewing

All I've gotta say is that I love this man. Ted may not be a genre fan like Kane Hodder or Derek Mears, but this is a man who really appreciates and loves his fans even if he is not a fan of horror movies at all. What you get is a no bullshit attitude from Ted, but always a smile and a grateful attitude.

Jori from ForcedViewing.com spoke to Ted in November while at Flashback Weekend and he had a lot to say. In the conversation he goes into detail about reading (yes, reading) for the role as Jason and turning down the job, only to reconsider when he heard a "chi-ching."

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.
