Hey horror fans! Harry here with a great great event for all of you! I love that this FRIDAY THE 13TH was shot outside of Austin near my actual Boy Scout Camp that I grew up camping at every summer. I've been rewatching the FRIDAY THE 13th series recently - due to the DVD column - and I think it has aways been a bit of a downer that the first FRIDAY THE 13TH has never been a down and dirty JASON film. That said - that first film is just odd. I mean, do you think they knew that the weird mutant drowning Jason character would ever become one of the great icons of Slasher horror? I mean, it is so fucking weird that they even threw the kid in there. Right? It's kind of just a 'what the fuck?' A total throwaway gag... Until it is much more in the subsequent films. But at this event we will actually have JASON VOORHEES in the Alamo. AND - it is happening less than 5 hours away from an actual Friday the 13th, when the film actually opens for the rest of the world. Meeting Jason on Thursday The 12th... will you be his warm up kill? Hmmm? Click here to see all the details on this awesome event!
With the new Jason, DEREK MEARS, live in person! Also, producers BRAD FULLER and ANDREW FORM will be in attendance for this screening!! Jason Voorhees is THE undisputable icon of terror. After a long vacation from terrorizing the denizens of Crystal Lake, he's back in this bold reinterpretation of the most popular horror franchise in the history of the genre: FRIDAY THE 13th! From the filmmaker behind 2003's TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and featuring a lead performance from SUPERNATURAL's Jared Padalecki, this is a new version of the FRIDAY films that looks to pay some serious respects to the finer points of the original series. Meaning the REAL star here is none other than everyone's most beloved psychopath, JASON VOORHEES, who'll be joining us for the show to field all questions and punish all horny teenagers! Yep, the most eagerly anticipated horror film of the year is here, in a special FREE advance screening. To get your tickets, email RSVP@fantasticfest.com with "CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE 4EVER" in the subject line. Winners will be randomly selected and announced/notified on Tuesday, Feb 10 by 5:00 PM! So have some pre-marital sex, get slaughtered and get ready for the first proper FRIDAY THE 13TH film in eight years! We'll see you there, corpse!
