Who is Warrington Gillette?

Warrington Gillete
from: Pound4Pound.com

Of course most of us Friday The 13th fans know him as an actor who played Jason in the infamous window crash scene in Friday The 13th Part II. Unfortunately for people none the wiser may call him Jason II, and rightfully so- he was indeed credited as Jason Voorhees, right? It's a very common misconception since day one and for the people who frequented the Guts & Gory forum a handful of years back sort of know where I am going with this. Around 2003, at the height of the Friday The 13th website craze a lot of actors from the franchise came out to do interviews, attend conventions and meet fans. Around 2003/2004 Warrington Gillette was asked to do some conventions and he kindly obliged. He attended a lot of conventions and even had his own forum at Guts & Gory as well as his own website www.jason2kills.com.

RIP Danny Steinmann

Looks like the rumors of Danny Steinmann's passing are true. I wanted to wait until I mentioned it, but it seems that the sad news is true. His installment in the Friday the 13th franchise seems to be one of the most hated, yet I will always think it is easily one of the best.

A semi-recent story about our beloved Tina from A New Beginning, also known as Deborah Voorhees from the VIVAcini August 24th edition called "Getting It Off Her Chest." You can read the entire article here at VIVAcini.com. It mentions her role in Friday The 13th Part V: A New Beginning.

A nice headshot of the sassy Anne "Annie" Gaybis, who's known to Friday the 13th fans as the lippy cashier at the general store in Part III. Gaybis is actually more known for being a singer and dancer and is still quite the looker today.

Back when I collected autographs from the cast I was in search of Jennifer Banko and never had any luck. I found about 4 or 5 Jennifer Bankos and all were not the correct one. I loved her in Texas Chainsaw Massacre III more than anything. This is a good find, though it was for sale on eBay for $30.  

Here's a great collection of (some) production photos from Friday the 13th: Part II and III on eBay. I won't say these are rare, but this one of Traci Savage is one I have never seen. The seller has a lot of other photos and there's a few here and there that are worth having.

What the fuck is this Mezco 10" Jason figuring supposed to be-- looks like Abe Vigoda.

Here we have behind the scene photos of Jeannine Taylor in Friday The 13th 1980. Most of these were for the gore shots cut out of the theatrical print of the movie and only scene in Europe until earlier this year when it was released uncut by Paramount Pictures.
