Harry Cosby's "Bill" is one of the most memorable characters in the Friday the 13th franchise, and to this day   when Alice stumbles upon his body pinned to the door with arrows is one of the most iconic moments in horror history. After the movie he went on to graduate from Fordham University.

Of course us fans are all aware that she did the scene where Jason was walking up to Alice's home in the opening scene. This is Lutter at a 2006 Designers event. Lutter is better known nowadays as a costume designer for Hollywood and has done most of Adam Sandler's movies.

Crash's Part VII Screen Used Casting

from: Crash Creations  
This is his casting of the screen-used Part VII hero mask in resin from Josh Ludemann. I think these would be bad-ass to be used in making Part VII replicas. However, if not, this is an amazing reference for making your own Part VII.

Part III Original Script Revisited

Andy, Debbie and Chris entering the cabin while Jason hides inside 
This is one of my favorite scenes of the original Part III shooting script-- though either cut from the film or never filmed-- it would have added a lot to the movie, I think. It puts Jason inside of the main cabin watching Shelly's activities after Chris and Rick realize someone has been sleeping in one of the rooms. Jason being inside of the cabin obviously pushes the fact that it was indeed Jason sleeping in the bed.

Victor Miller Blog


For those Friday the 13th fans out there, I am plugging Victor Miller's blog since his posts always entertain me. He's personally one of my favorite Friday the 13th "creators" sinceI tend to agree with most of the things he says on his Facebook (and elsewhere) and he (and his son) is also a long-time fellow tattoo collector.

A New Beginning Killer Set Up

A Roy Burns shot in Part V
After watching Friday the 13th: Part V, A New Beginning the other day I payed close attention to certain scenes (more particularly the one's with Roy) to see if I could pick out subtle nuances with the character that was trying to hint at Roy being the killer. I have always said that without knowing that Roy is the killer it is literally impossible to tell that he was the killer or even was to be a suspect. Watching the movie as a child for the first time I did not suspect Roy, Tommy, Victor, Junior or anyone else. I suspected Jason.
