Marta Kober in a Touch of Scandal (1984)

from: smartfellowpress.com

Marta Kober (Friday the 13th: Part II) has a small role in this whodunit thriller about a serial killer who kills for political gain. It's nothing original, but I guess it's pretty typical of these 1980s thrillers.

A New Beginning Screen-Used Machete

from: Your Props

From time to time we see these Friday the 13th screen-used props come up, but here's one from A New Beginning owned by "Deadmess" from the Your Props website. This machete has the cut-out for the neck-- to simulate it cutting-- and a blood tube to add blood to the faux cut. This kill, like most in A New Beginning, was pretty much cut out of the movie.

French Video Poster

I dig anything video with it comes to these movies and expecially the promo posters, standees and hangers. All are from an era lost and an era that will never be again: the mom and pop video rental store era. I mean, now you can stream movies with ease, but you can not stream the experience. Now the promo posters and press kits are all digital. That's no good.

Richard Brooker as Oghris in Deathstalker (1983)

Right after Richard Brooker donned the hockey mask in Friday the 13th (Part III) he took another role in a sci-fi Roger Corman produced movie Death Stalker that spawned its own small franchise of four movies.

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. 

Richard Brooker in Trapper John, M.D. (1984)

I am a huge fan of the 80s unsuspecting person (doctor, attorney) turned detective TV shows like Quincy, Matlock and Trapper John, M.D.. This was not one of the best episodes of Trapper John, but it did guest star the late Richard Brooker (Jason, Part III) as Vic in Season 5 episode 'The Fred Connection.' Vic was not a main character and really only had a few scenes and a handful of lines. He was part of a football team whose van crashed.
