Part VII Final Man on Talk Radio Show!

Here's a great interview with Kevin Spirtas on the TRadioV.com radio show Soap Box.  Kevin still looks great after all these years, and as always is a very good talker!

David Katims Interview

Mark Nelson in My Name is Asher Lev

Mark Nelson on Theater Talk

Oddly enough, Mark Nelson really did not pursue Hollywood movies after his role in Friday the 13th (1980). Nelson did go on to be a very well known theater actor on the East coast. Below are some videos related to his role in My Name is Asher Lev (2012) as well as a publicity photo of Mark.

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."

A Conversation with Darcy DeMoss

The beautiful Ami Dolenz with Darci 

from: gojimmygo.net

One of the most unsung beauties of the entire Friday the 13th franchise, Darcy DeMoss (Friday the 13th: Part VI and nearly Part V) is one of the lost loyal to her fans and as far back as I can remember, always has been.

Here's a pretty in-depth interview with her, covering most of her more well-known roles.

Lost Tiffany Helm Interviews From 2000 & 2003

Tiffany Helm (fourth from right) as Violet in Friday the 13th: Part V

I just thought I would post these great q&a sessions with Tiffany Helm from long before she has come out and done interviews. In my eyes, these are pretty classic.

This first interview was conducted by Erik Nash from the long-gone www.campcrystallake.com website.

How did you first get started in the acting business? 

Most of my family was involved in the industry in one form or another. While I was raised by my mom, who was a successful actress, I decided that acting was too unstable of a career and I would do something else. When I was 18, I signed on with a modeling agency, in hopes of supplementing an income while I was going to school. Quirky looks were not "in" back then, so my modeling agency encouraged me to try commercials. Feeling that commercial acting was not like theatrical acting, I gave it a try. I started booking and my commercial agency started finding little theatrical auditions for me. Well, I started booking those too and then I was in. I gave up trying to do school and acting, when I booked the Robert Altman film, O.C. and Stiggs. The experience of a location shoot with a director like Bob and an extremely talented cast got me hooked.

Kirsten Baker speaks!

The once elusive Kirsten Baker (Friday the 13th: Part II) at one of her convention appearances. I will definitely admit that she is still pretty good looking.

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.

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.

Move or Rust with Dr. Paul Kratka

I have to say that I really dig what Kratka has been doing with Scott Goldberg and his website www.drkatka.com and the whole wellness/good health thing. If you're not impressed with this guy yet, just look how good he looks for his age. Think back to 1982 when he was in Friday The 13th Part III- he was one of the eldest cast members and he looked older. Now he looks 15 years younger than his fellow cast members! This video is not only informative, but as I grow older I have completely changed my lifestyle and I really dig people who do things like this!

Nice Steve Dash video interview.

Fangoria # 22: Douglas J White talks about Jason III

Alan A. Appone and Douglas J White work on Jason
from: MEL Effects

In Fangoria #22 Douglas J. White talks about creating the face of Jason and what inspired the look.

"The other task was the creation of killer Jason's makeup, a task what was created within some time limitations. We'd already been working on the show for almost 10 weeks when they came up to me to do the (new) makeup for Jason (Jason's makeup was previously done by Stan Winston).

Short Part III reunion

Of course being shot by Scott Goldberg, the video looks superb- the video has Paul Kratka, David Katims, Richard Brooker and Larry Zerner and is from Screamfest 2007.

Very good Paul Kratka interview by Stone Cold Crazy blog!

Another great interview from the guy who did probably one of the two best Danny Steinmann interviews out there (the other is on DeadPit.com). I really enjoyed reading this interview, so enjoy!

JC: What other acting had you done before Friday the 13th Part III?

PK: Well, I had been studying privately in North Hollywood, studying acting and just scrambling around trying to get jobs. I was doing some on-camera spokesman work, some commercials, and had done a small part on General Hospital.

Warrington Gillette on JustTalkRadio.com 9pm tonight!

Tune into Just Talk Radio at 9pm for the guest Warrington Gillette, also known as Jason Voorhees from Friday The 13th Part II.

Tune in and listen to him talk about shooting Friday The 13th Part II, and all of the fun he had on set throughout the 28 day shoot- including how tough all of the stunts were to perform.

I'm excited as hell to hear about his work with Stunt Coordinator Cliff Cudney and his stunt double Steve Dash who took a few falls for him.

Old school Dread Central interview with Dash.

Steve Dash as Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th: Part II

Done by the infamous Sean Clark, one of the first interviews with Dash tackling the whole "Necrocomicon/Warrington" incident. Read the rest at Dread Central, if you wish. Dash is incorrect in saying that he did everything else in reference to Warrington only doing the window scene. Jerry Wallace actually did a good part of inserts with hands, feel, stalking, running and even killed Vicki and Alice. Of course, the now infamous Ellen Lutter supplied her legs to Jason in the pre-credit scene.

SC: Now I actually did an interview with Warrington about a year ago and I asked him the same question. He claimed at the time in the interview that the only things you did in the film were a couple of insert shots of your hands performing some kill scenes.
SD: That’s what I’ve heard he has said also. For the last twenty-five years I haven’t even gotten involved with it until recently, when Peter Bracke called me about writing his book. As far as the validity of what he says and the validity of what I did can be substantiated and corroborated by Steve Miner and Cliff Cudney, the stunt coordinator.

CLAD: Thom Mathews interview.

Thom Mathews as Tommy Jarvis

CLAD forum did a short interview with Thom Mathews, more known to us horror fans from Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives and Return Of The Living Dead. It's worth a read, however Thom was pretty short and a little condescending.

CLAD: Did you have relationships with any of the cast members? 

TM: Jimmy Karen and I spooned once. One time come on!

Video interview with CJ Graham.

Odd fact I learned here; Kane Hodder was the first choice for the Hell Cop in Highyway To Hell, which starred C.J. Graham.

Questions with A New Beginning's John Robert Dixon.

A short while back John Robert Dixon contacted me pertaining to another interview I posted on here. John kindly obliged to answer some questions himself...


What got you into acting and how did you hear about Friday The 13th: V (a.k.a. Repetition)?
Actually my mother was involved in the industry during the mid 1960’s and being a “Hollywood” kid I was actually in an episode of General Hospital (I think it was GH) when I was about 7 years old. I also did some acting in school etc. musicals and such, most notable was the part of Fagin in the musical “Oliver”. None of this, however really lead me to become an actor and ultimately to be cast in Friday the 13th. As a teen and into my early twenties I was much more interested in music (wanted to be a rocker) and surfing. It was a girlfriend, who did some modeling that got me moving down the path that resulted in my eventual roll in Friday the 13th Part V.

As far as “how did I hear about” it, I was sent to an audition by my agent and never really knew what it was until after I had the part.
