Part III's Cheri Maugans in Archie Bunker's Place


One of Maugan's few roles was a recurring character of a cocktail waitress named Molly in the All in the Family spinoff Archie Bunker's Place in 1980 - 1981. Her roles were mainly as a background "extra" with no speaking roles.

Vintage-Style Custom Figures



Popsfartberger on eBay is doing wonderful things with old GI Joe figures, some cardboard, a printer and some blister packs. Here are just some of his inventory or horror and action movie icons for sale on eBay. One of my biggest complaints is that in the 80s and 90s there was absolutely no cool Friday the 13th merchandise. However, Freddy merchandise was everywhere and it made me jealous. These have that great vintage feel to them and would be great for any collection.

Parts II and III Italian Lobby Cards


Two sets of Italian lobby cards for Friday the 13th II & III. L'Assassino Ti Siedi Accanto is translated into "The Murderess Sitting Next To You" and Week-End Di Terrore is obviously "Weekend of Terror."

Dana Kimmell in The A-Team, 1983


The A-Team.org is one of my more favorite sites, growing up a huge A-Team fan. here is a photo from a Season 2 episode of The A-Team, which aired October, 1983 with Dana Kimmell as Lane Carter. The episode title was When You Comin' Back, Range Rider.

Oddly enough, the majority of the A-Team episodes were shot near and around Santa Clarita, California (Newhall, Saugus, Green Valley) including the location where Friday the 13th: Part III was shot.

Vintage Postcard of NoBeBoSco


I found this little gem; a vintage (unknown date) of Camp NoBeBoSco in the lovely town of Blairstown, New Jersey and the shooting location of Friday the 13th (1980).  If anyone knows the date of this, please leave a comment.

Stan Winston's Jason III

Stan Winston's Jason III
To Friday the 13th fans the fact that Stan Winston worked on Friday the 13th II and III is no shock. We are also familiar with the fact that Winston created the face of Jason III that was used throughout most of the movie. In fact Jason's face was only changed at the end of production to a face that more resembled the face of Jason II by Alan Appone and Douglas White.

Part II Location

The stairwell
Here are some photos of the Part II shooting location in Kent, Connecticut. This location was demolished a handful of years back and from what I was told, new homes were built in its place. So the "now" text should be "2008." More of these photos from Tony Urban  are on the F13thFranchise site.

Steve Susskind the Crooner


A very young Steve Susskind (Friday the 13th: Part III) in what looks like a high school yearbook photo. I am uncertain of the date, but Steve used to sing lead in a group called The Roommates. I find it quite amusing of the part he played as Harold Hockett in Friday the 13th: Part III of an obvious overweight slob and in reality, Steve was a very attractive dude.

Fangoria #36 & Mrs. Jarvis Spoiler


Looking back at issue #36 of Fangoria I notice on the body count list #12 is Mom: drowned in bathtub. We all know that the scene where Trish finds her mother dead in the bathtub-- which did make it to the box set in the alternate ending-- never made it to the final cut of the film as per director Joe Zito's request.
