Temptation Island is officially returning for Season 2, and while I’m excited, there’s one question that keeps on lingering in my mind. How is the show ever going to work without Mark L. Walberg? He has done a lot for the reality show over the years with his remarkable hosting.

Walberg isn’t just the guy who introduces challenges or wraps up episodes, but he’s the heart of Temptation Island. No matter how wild things get, he knows how to bring depth and empathy into situations. That’s rare, and while everyone is tuned in for the drama, it’s actually Walberg who keeps us coming back.

Can Temptation Island really work without Mark L. Walberg?

Let’s be real – Temptation Island has all the necessary ingredients of a messy dating show. It has couples on the rocks, single people looking for love (or fun), and enough drama to fill your group chat.

Fans of the Friday the 13th movie series have a good reason to go binge-watch the original series of eight films from Paramount Pictures.

As reported by ComicBook, the first eight Friday the 13th films have been made available to watch for free on the free streaming platform Pluto TV. This includes all of the original movies to have Friday the 13th as part of the title, all of which were made under the Paramount umbrella. They are also the complete set of films from the franchise to be released in the 1980s, with the eighth film dropping in 1989. For some fans of the franchise, it marked the end of an era before the ninth installment, Jason Goes to Hell, took the movie series in a wildly different direction.

An iconic slasher flick that sparked the massive horror franchise surrounding the notorious killer Jason Vorhees, Friday the 13th follows a group of camp counselors as they prepare...

The Friday the 13th (1980) franchise has had a tumultuous time for more that decade, with legal battles preventing any new movies or shows being made. While that seems to be coming to an end, the director of the original 1980 movie, Sean S. Cunningham has been remembering one of the Jason kills he never got to shoot when his own attempts at a TV show collapsed.

Currently, A24 and Peacock are teaming up to bring Friday the 13th to the small screen with Crystal Lake, although even that has been proving problematic in its own way. However, long before that show was given the green light, Cunningham worked on his own TV series, but that project was cut short, as the director recently explained at Silver Scream Con (via Bloody Disgusting).

Some time ago, the rights expired on the original script, so then there became doubt about who owns what after 35 years.

With today being Friday the 13th, fans are rewatching their favorite entries in the iconic horror movie franchise to celebrate the day. While some relive the past, others lament the many lost projects that didn't make it to screens. One recent scrapped project is Bryan Fuller's Friday the 13th prequel series Crystal Lake. Unfortunately for those already disappointed that the series was abandoned, one horror movie director has made things worse by calling the scripts for the series some of the best he had ever read.

Director Vincenzo Natali, best known for his work on films like The Cell and Splice, took to X/Twitter to share a little tease about Fuller's Crystal Lake series.. He also said, "The scripts for the first two episodes remain among the best I have ever read for any show." Natali has collaborated with Fuller before, directing five episodes of Hannibal and one for American Gods,...

Sean S. Cunningham believes delays in any new Friday the 13th film due to studios being hesitant over potential returns. Legal disputes over franchise rights further complicate matters, stalling development despite initial hope. Cunningham, while optimistic about TV series and video game, predicts a new movie will not be in sight for at least 3 years.

Jason Voorhees has survived many things across several entries of the Friday the 13th franchise, but perhaps his biggest adversary has been a return to the big screen. 2009 was the last time the character stalked Camp Crystal Lake and since then the franchise was tied up in a legal dispute that put the series on hold until everything could be worked out. In 2023, director Sean S. Cunningham gave his blessing for a new Friday the 13th film, but nothing has come to fruition. Now, with news that the A24 TV series is seeking a new...

The Jason Universe is expanding the Friday the 13th with new projects in entertainment, games, merchandise, and immersive experiences to be revealed soon. Legal battles have been resolved as screenwriter Victor Miller and Horror, Inc. team up, setting the stage for the multi-platform Jason Universe. Fans can expect new Jason Universe activations to honor and elevate the beloved horror franchise's legacy for global audiences.

The world of Friday the 13th just got bigger, as Horror, Inc. has announced the launch of a new initiative called 'Jason Universe.' The slasher franchise first began with the debut of the original film in 1980, which would go on to spawn 10 sequels and a reboot in 2009. Since its inception, numerous novels, video games, comics, and a gargantuan amount of merchandise have been released, making it one of the most lucrative horror franchises in history.

As per IGN, Jason Universe will see the original Friday...

Kevin Bacon commemorated 44 years of Friday the 13th by recreating his iconic death scene in a hilarious video with his family. Bacon's role in the horror slasher was punctuated by a gruesome death while enjoying some pot, paving the way for his successful career. Despite the Friday the 13th prequel series Crystal Lake facing setbacks, fans are eagerly awaiting more content set in the Jason Voorhees universe.

On May 9, 1980, the world was first introduced to a group of unwitting camp counselors getting picked off one-by-one by a mysterious killer in Friday the 13th, and the horror genre has never been the same since. One of those camp counselors just happened to be an up-and-coming young actor by the name of Kevin Bacon, who was fresh off the success of appearing in National Lampoons Animal House. His death in the horror slasher is still remembered to this day, and to celebrate 44 years of Friday the 13th,...

Stand-up comedian / actor Bill Burr just made his feature directorial debut with the Netflix-released comedy Old Dads (you can read the JoBlo review at This Link), which is cool and all… but here on Arrow in the Head, the horror side of the JoBlo Network, we’re more interested in hearing Burr’s opinions on horror films. That’s why it caught our attention when YouTuber James Whale Bake Sale made a video to go with a clip from Burr’s podcast Monday Morning Podcast in which the comedian discusses the horror classic Friday the 13th – and goes on to explain why he stopped watching horror movies.

The video can be seen at the bottom of this article, and over the course of its five minutes he admits that the final jump scare in Friday the 13th really did scare the hell out of him, says that the franchise...

In Sean S. Cunningham's 1980 slasher flick "Friday the 13th," Kevin Bacon plays a camp counselor named Jack who meets a memorable end. Jack and his girlfriend Marcie (Jeannine Taylor) enjoy a zesty round of marijuana and coitus while, unbeknownst to them, the corpse of their friend Ned (Mark Nelson) is stored in the ceiling above them. Marcie leaves to take a shower, and Jack lays back on the bed to relax and have a toke. A drop of blood lands on his brow. Jack is momentarily confused. His confusion doesn't last long, however, as the hand of a mysterious killer -- possibly the presumed-dead Jason Voorhees -- pops up from under the bed and grabs him by the forehead. An arrow pushes up from underneath the bed, puncturing Jack's neck from behind. The arrowhead emerges from his throat, and blood spurts up onto his face. Jack dies wearing a startled expression.

The classic slasher film Friday the 13th is getting an all-new 4K Uhd release coupled with an exclusive vinyl of the soundtrack.

From Waxwork Records, the bundle includes a new 4K Uhd steelbook of the very first Friday the 13th movie released in 1980. Also included is a new pressing of the original motion picture soundtrack composed by Harry Manfredini. The steelbook comes with a collectible slipcase featuring the soundtrack album artwork crafted by Jay Shaw, depicting an image of Crystal Lake in the eye of a terrified victim. A blood red and black swirl was used to color the vinyl which includes liner notes from director Sean Cunningham along with Manfredini.

Friday the 13th was directed by Cunningham and written by Victor Miller. While Jason Voorhees, with his familiar hockey mask, would later become the face of the franchise, he was notably not the killer in the original film.

Three years ago, Paramount Pictures gave the 1980 classic Friday the 13th (watch it Here) a Blu-ray steelbook release to celebrate the film’s 40th anniversary. Now the folks at Fridaythe13thFranchise have caught word that Paramount is set to give the film a 4K steelbook release on October 10th – three days before an actual Friday the 13th rolls around on the calendar. They even got their hands on a picture of the 4K steelbook, and you can check it out at the bottom of this article.

It looks like this steelbook will be using the same artwork as the Blu-ray steelbook, but it will also come with a slipcover featuring artwork that was used for Waxwork Records’ vinyl release of the film’s score.

As most diehard fans know, the original Friday the 13th was filmed at Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco, an active Boy Scouts camp in Hardwick, New Jersey. Unfortunately, the campgrounds are off limits to the public, meaning you can’t actually visit the filming locations outside of rare special events that the camp offers. And that’s where Crystal Lake Tours comes into play.

For the last few years, Friday the 13th fans have been offered the opportunity to tour the real-life Crystal Lake, and a special event this June will take that experience to the next level.

The team announces, “We made history in 2019 with the largest gathering of cast and crew from Friday the 13th since the movie was released. It was an amazing event and the fans that travelled to the camp from all over the world still rave about it. We had plans for an even larger reunion in...

As iconic as Jason Voorhees, the music of the Friday the 13th franchise is synonymous with the killer Crystal Lake films that chilled and thrilled horror fans throughout the 1980s (and beyond). With the sounds of Jason ingrained in ’80s culture, it's only fitting that the music of the Friday the 13th franchise gets its time to shine in the blood-spattered spotlight of the upcoming ’80s documentary In Search of Darkness. After recently sharing a clip of Keith David discussing John Carpenter's The Thing, we've now been provided with an exclusive In Search of Darkness interview clip in which Sean S. Cunningham, Kane Hodder, Robbi Morgan, and composer Harry Manfredini discuss the haunting, hair-raising music that accompanies creepy kills in the Friday the 13th films.

There’s no denying that the 1980s were easily the most influential era in modern horror, between all of the incredible movies and filmmakers that rose through the ranks and changed the landscape of pop culture, the mind-blowing special effects that continued to raise the bar for the industry, and a cavalcade of memorable characters and performances that have continued to endear themselves to legions of fans in the years to come. Simply put, ’80s horror is the best.

Right now, the Kickstarter campaign for In Search of Darkness is nearing the finish line, with only a few days left for genre fans to join in on what is going to be the definitive look at this influential decade in horror history, and one of the latest stretch goals announced for In Search of Darkness is all about celebrating the women who slayed throughout the 1980s.

As a girl growing up during this time,...

“It’s got a death curse!” One of the most well known slashers in American horror doesn’t need to be refreshed in most horror fans minds because they know it very well.
