Friday the 13th: Part III Production Photos

A small collection of some really nifty, but not so rare, production photos from Friday the 13th: Part III. Enjoy.

Richard Brooker and Steve Susskind

I plan on taking this week to pay respects to the late Richard Brooker, who played my favorite Jason. Here is a great behind the scenes photo of he and the late Steve Susskind, who played Harold. 

Godspeed to them both. 

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.

Production Photos from Famous Monster of Filmland

A nice shot of Jason being hanged before dropping.
You can see how close he is to the barn opening.

These are a few neat photos that I found in old issues of Famous Monsters of Filmland. While they are not at all "unseen," they are a bit different than the scenes we see in the movie. On the top we have a lovely shot of Richard Brooker actually picking up Rachel Howard and below it looks like Richard Brooker and Steve Susskind are looking at the director. The third is an odd shot of the scene with David Wiley. The shot of Robbie Morgan (and Taso Stavrakis's hand) is a full body shot and the shot of Rex Everhart, Walt Gorney and Robbie Morgan is a lovely production photo.

Steve Susskind in Friday the 13th: Part III

Before Steve Susskind (Friday the 13th: Part III) was the easy-to-love nitwit Harold, he was a pop star in the du-wop trio called the Roommates who had hit records with "Please Love Me Forever" (with Cathy Jean) and "The Glory of Love" in 1961.
