RIP LEONARD NIMOY!

I am just sending this sad message across this blog because it hits close to Friday the 13th land. We all know that Tom Morga – Jason/Roy from Friday the 13th: Part V – doubled for Leonard as Spock in 1984's Star Trek: Part III, The Search for Spock. Morga also did stunts in several Star Trek movies after that, as well as the TV series The New Generation and Nemesis.

Star Trek fans will miss you, Leonard. LLAP

Tom Morga's Stick-On Mustache: Commando (1985)

Friday the 13th stunt team of John Sherrod, Tom Morga, Johnny Hocks and Dick Warlock worked on this classic Arnold Schwarzenegger film Commando from 1985.

Here is an amazing shot of Tom Morga with a really bad stick-on moustache. Looks like the make-up effects team for Commando was as bad as the team for A New Beginning.

Who Killed Tina and Eddie in Friday the 13th: Part V?

Roy Burns gives Tina (Debi-Sue Voorhees) a headache

Some things John Robert Dixon and Debi-Sue Voorhees has said made me think about this. In a 2012 interview Debbie-Sue said that she wasn't sure of the actor's name, but "I think his name could’ve been Tom. I do remember when I looked up it was a sweet guy with red hair, red beard  looking down at me with a big smile on his face – honestly I don’t remember his name but I do remember him being very sweet, and I had a hard time not laughing cause he was just ‘hi’!”

Give credit where credit is due...

Johnny Hock as Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th: Part V

Lately I have been sing something that makes me smile-- that is the fact that John Hock (a.k.a. John Hocks Conrad) has been included in the lineup of a few conventions. Now a lot of people are probably asking "who the fuck is John Hock?" as it sounds like a bad stage name. No, I am not talking about the "net-famous" emo-kid John Hock, nor am I referring to the ex-L.A. Rams offensive lineman John Hock-- I am talking about the elusive Jason Part V John Hock!

Funny Tom Morga clip.

This may be amusing for some of us A New Beginning fans, so I just wanted to share this. It's a cleverly done/edited little piece and again, Tom Morga really is not that great of an actor-- at least not back then.

Old Tom Morga clips.

I found these really funny. The first is from a Jerry's Kids clip at Sea World back in 1982. Tom Morga sort of does a bad job acting and it made me laugh pretty hard.

Tom Morga: the iron man of slasher icons!

Tom Morga as Jason with Dick Warlock on set

So,this post the other day made me think about Tom Morga and how he has pretty much been the Jack-of-all-trades of slashers. A lot of slasher fans may not know this, but Tom has donned the hockey mask as Jason (and Roy), the dead-skin mask as Leatherface and the white mask as Michael Myers putting him into an elite group of people to have done that-- just one (him). Kane Hodder has come close; he portrayed Jason himself and did a good amount of Leatherface in Texas Chainsaw Massacre III.

My new score: Part V bloody dream mask.

Being a huge fan of A New Beginning and a fan of Crash's work, after I saw one of these dream hocks that he did some time ago I decided that I wanted one for myself. Here are some photos from Crash's site of my hock-- it's done on a clear blank and screen accurate to a tee. One thing I really love about this hock is the Frankenstein look to it with the screws holding the straps and buttons on. This was probably because David Miller removed them to make a mold to produce
the Roy hocks that were used in the movie.

Friday The 13th DVD still of the week.

Here we see Jason Voorhees (Tom Morga) and Tommy Jarvis (John Shepherd) in a scene where Tommy is having delusions of Jason in Friday The 13th Part V: A New Beginning. Most people say this movie was absent of Jason, but this is one of the few scenes with him. It's also mistaken that there were two hockey masks used in this film, when there were actually 4; Roy's, the clean Jason mask with the reversed straps and full top chevron, the muddy mask and this Jason mask (which was the Part 4 mask).
