Barbara Howard Promo Shot


Here's a semi-recent photograph of Barbara Howard of Friday the 13th: Part IV. I am not sure when it is from, but I am assuming early-2000s. Even though she is one of the Friday alum who'd rather never re-live her days on set, she is one of the most sympathetic and loved characters in the entire series.

Dana Kimmell in Sweet 16



One of my favorite lack-lustre horror films of the 1980's. The movie did have a lot riding for it with a great cast and all. Dana did a great job as a teen girl obsessed with murder mystery novels turned wannabe sleuth. So here is some Dana for ya'll.

Tracie Savage


Here's a great photo [too bad it's watermarked] of Tracie Savage from Friday the 13th: Part III at a fund raiser where she was one of the participant joggers. This was early 2000s.

Lauren-Marie Taylor

Here's a handful of publicity photos for Lauren-Marie Taylor that I have accumulated. I especially love the one above. Lauren-Marie has a timeless youth, a youth that was evident in Friday the 13th: part II. Enjoy.

Jeanine Taylor's Hair


Glad to see that Jeannine Taylor (Friday the 13th) started to make appearances. She has one of the most memorable deaths in the entire franchise.

Survive Poster for Unite Against Domestic Violence



This is sort of old news, but I really dig this poster depicting the final girls of Friday the 13th: Part I, II, III and IV. It's available from Fright Rags for $89.99. Those hardcore Friday the 13th collectors out there will love this-- and it's a good cause. All posters (limited to 175, 16 left in stock) are signed by all four final girls and 60% of proceeds go to charity.

Friday the 13th (1980) Production Photos


Here are some great production photos of Friday the 13th (1980); some very seen, some otherwise. I am posting these because I have always loved the cinematography of Friday the 13th (1980) and these production photos really capture that look and feel.

Abandoned Places: The Old Lake Waramaug Casino


Friday the 13th: Part II fans will know this as the bar that Ginny, Paul, Ted and the rest of the counselors went to while the others were left at the camp to be slaughtered by Jason. Most of us fans also know that the place burned down not long after filming. The blog Squidoo; Abandoned Places featured bar, The Old Lake Waramaug Casino and had this to say:
An active nightspot for decades in Litchfield County Connecticut, the old Lake Waramaug Casino seen its scores of locals and out of state visitors for many years. My best guess is that it was built in the 1930's or early 1940's. In 1980 it was used as backdrop of both its interior and exterior in the Hollywood production of "Friday the 13th part 2", other parts of the lake and its bordering town of New Preston was also used as a backdrop too. The movie was released in 1981 and a year or so later the structure caught fire and burned to the ground. This photograph was taken in 1981 while visiting the area.
This is how the land looks as of 2003, thanks to Bong Tokin' Chuckles and the Fridaythe13thFilms.com website. This is the description that accompanied the photograph:
The casino where the counselors go to party was located on West Shore Road, in New Preston. It burned down over 20 years ago, only a few years after filming. This picture is of the land and road where the building used to stand. It is now a private residential property. 
Again, thanks Brandon Middleton for this tip!
