Directed by Danny Steinmann, who also crafted the screenplay with Martin Kitrosser and David Cohen, Friday the 13th: A New Beginning has the following synopsis: Years after Tommy Jarvis murdered hockey-masked serial killer Jason Voorhees, he resides in a mental hospital and struggles with the trauma of the experience. When Tommy moves to an isolated halfway house, he has nightmares about Jason’s return, and soon one of the patients is killed. As the body count grows,...

It’s Friday the 13th, and we have decided to celebrate by releasing a new episode of the What Happened to This Horror Movie? video series that digs into one of the more divisive entries in the Friday the 13th film franchise: the fifth entry, 1985’s Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (watch it Here), a movie that doesn’t have Jason Voorhees or his mother doing the killing. This time around, the slashing was done by a copycat – and you can hear all about it in the video embedded above.

The horror film Wes Craven's New Nightmare has been given a fan-made sequel, and it's now available to watch for free online.

Back in 1994, Wes Craven's New Nightmare was released, putting a meta-horror spin on the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. Franchise star Heather Langenkamp played herself in the movie, pursued by a real-life demon that's taken the form of Freddy Krueger. Former child star Miko Hughes, also known for playing Gage in the original Pet Sematary, co-starred as Dylan Porter, Langenkamp's son. Following a successful crowdfunding campaign, Hughes returns as Dylan in Dylan's New Nightmare: A Nightmare on Elm Street Fan Film, and the movie is streaming on YouTube.

I have mixed feelings on fan films. I’d prefer to see indie filmmakers invest their resources in an original concept rather than someone else’s intellectual property, but I also understand the reality that content with an established fanbase guarantees more engagement. Moreover, when beloved properties like A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th become entangled in ongoing legal disputes, fan films can sate viewers’ hunger for more.

Even if a new Elm Street movie is produced with Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger, it’s highly unlikely to acknowledge the events of New Nightmare, given its blurring of the lines between fiction and reality. (Freddy vs Jason ignored it as well.) YouTuber-turned-writer/director Cecil Laird teamed with producer Vincente Disanti — the filmmaker behind the popular Friday the 13th fan film Never Hike Alone — to fill that void with Dylan’s New Nightmare: A Nightmare on Elm Street Fan Film.

Gutter Garbs has just unveiled a new line of merchandise inspired by the 1985 slasher Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (watch it Here) – and this line, which consists of a T-shirt, a poster, and an enamel pin, will only be available for order this weekend!

Carol Locatell, who had a memorable turn as the foulmouthed mother Ethel Hubbard in Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning and worked alongside Burt Reynolds in three films, has died. She was 82.

Locatell died April 11 at her home in Sherman Oaks after a long battle with cancer, her husband, songwriter and record producer Gregory Prestopino, told The Hollywood Reporter. They were together for 50 years.

Locatell moved from Los Angeles to New York in the mid-1980s to shake up her career, and from her first audition there she landed a part on Broadway in Neil Simon’s Broadway Bound, which premiered in 1986. She then appeared in The Shadow Box in 1994 and in The Rose Tattoo a year later.

She first met Reynolds when she auditioned for him for a role in Simon’s Chapter Two at his dinner theater in Jupiter, Florida. She worked with him in Paternity...

Carol Locatell was born on December 13, 1940 – a date that happens to have been a Friday the 13th. So it seems very fitting that when she embarked on an acting career, her role in the 1985 slasher Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (watch it Here) would turn out to become the role she was best known for. Locatell delivered a hilarious performance in that film, making the foul-mouthed Ethel Hubbard someone fans have been having fun watching for nearly forty years now. Sadly, Locatell is no longer with us. She passed away recently at the age of 82. Ron Sloan, who played Ethel’s dimwitted son Junior in Friday the 13th: A New Beginning, broke the news of her passing on social media last night.

Sloan wrote,

Dearest friends, fans, and Horror family,

With great sadness, it breaks my heart to announce that my Friday the 13th Part 5 Mom, (Ethel Hubbard) Carol Locatell has passed away.

Known to horror fans for her role in Friday the 13th: A New Beginning, Bloody Disgusting has learned the sad news this week that Carol Locatell has passed away at the age of 82.

Alongside Ron Sloan’s character Junior, Carol Locatell played Ethel (aka Ma) in the Friday the 13th franchise’s fifth installment back in 1985, delivering a scene-stealing performance that helped make her a fan favorite star on the horror convention circuit in recent years.

Sean Clark writes on Instagram, “Just got a call from Ron Sloan letting me know that our friend Carol Locatell who most of the fans know as Ethel aka Ma in Friday the 13th Part 5 A New Beginning has lost her battle with cancer. My heart goes out to her husband Greg and their entire family.

Clark’s tribute continues, “I had the great fortune of working with her for 15+ years and she was an amazing person.

The team behind Never Hike Alone, Womp Stomp Films is moving from Friday the 13th to A Nightmare on Elm Street with Dylan’s New Nightmare, a brand new fan film.

Dylan’s New Nightmare is an unofficial sequel to Wes Craven’s New Nightmare, and you can slice into the brand new official trailer down below. Read on for more information…

Directed by Cecil Laird of The Horror Show YouTube channel, the short film picks up 25 years after the events of New Nightmare and welcomes back Miko Hughes to reprise the role of Dylan Porter, the young son of Heather Langenkamp, now a grown man trying to make his way in the world his parents raised him in—Hollywood.

Little does he know that the evil entity known as Freddy Krueger is back, and eager to once again break into our world through the son of his favorite victim.

Miko Hughes returns to play classic Nightmare on Elm Street franchise character Dylan Porter in the fan film Dylan’s New Nightmare. Freddy Krueger first slashed his way into the imaginations of horror fans with Wes Craven’s 1984 classic A Nightmare on Elm Street. But Freddy was of course only getting started. His run as an iconic horror villain, as played by Robert Englund, would last through seven sequels and an anthologized TV series.

Craven of course would famously only be the director on two Krueger films, helming the original and the 1994 meta-movie Wes Craven’s New Nightmare. Now a character from that 1994 film is returning to once again take on Freddy Krueger. Thanks to a new teaser posted by The Horror Show Channel, Freddy fanatics are getting their first look at the upcoming fan film Dylan’s New Nightmare, featuring returning New Nightmare actor Hughes as the grown-up Dylan Porter.

The team behind Never Hike Alone, Womp Stomp Films is moving from Friday the 13th to A Nightmare on Elm Street with Dylan’s New Nightmare, and filming is now complete.

Womp Stomp has shared several first-look images now that production has wrapped, with Dylan’s New Nightmare set to be an unofficial sequel to Wes Craven’s New Nightmare.

One of the horror movies I’m most looking forward to for the remainder of 2021 is 13 Fanboy, co-written and directed by Deborah Voorhees, one of the stars of my beloved Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning. The film, about an obsessed Friday the 13th fan who takes his love of the series too far, now has a trailer. Check it out!

"An obsessed fan stalks his favorite actors from the Friday the 13th films and beyond. As a child, Kelsie Voorhees witnesses the murder of her grandmother, Friday the 13th actress Deborah Voorhees, at the hands of a crazed fanboy. As an adult, she discovers her grandmother isn’t the only victim and the killer is still out there searching for his favorite Friday the 13th cast members and iconic scream queens to slaughter, mirroring his idol Jason Voorhees, as he still can't seem to separate the...

Flashback Weekend is taking place later this month with an incredible lineup of horror guests and a unique photo op with the original Ford Ltd station wagon from John Carpenter's Halloween. We have all the details on the event below, along with a picture of the newly restored station wagon. For more details and to purchase tickets, make sure to visit: http://www.flashbackweekend.com/

Flashback Weekend Chicago Horror Con July 30- Aug. 1, 2021 presents an epic “John Carpenter’s Halloween” (1978) and “Halloween Kills” (2021) reunion featuring the biggest star (literally) of the original 1978 classic. That, of course, is the original 1978 Ltd Station Wagon which Michael Myers stole and used to stalk his victims throughout Haddonfield, Illinois. For decades, fans have been wondering what happened to this iconic vehicle. The original 1978 Ford Ltd station wagon was rented from a car rental agency for two weeks of filming. After filming was completed, the...

Director Deborah Voorhees and the cast and crew of 13 Fanboy have been busy filming the upcoming meta-slasher movie, and the first teaser for the crowdfunded flick is now online. Inspired by creepy phone calls Voorhees had received from an anonymous fan, the movie follows a masked murderer obsessed with the Friday the 13th series. When the unknown killer starts butchering various stars from the movies, those left alive must attempt to use their experience dealing with Jason Voorhees to survive the fanboy's wrath. As a passion project from Friday the 13th stars for Friday the 13th fans, this movie helps to fill the void left from the legal battle over the rights to the series keeping another sequel from getting produced.

The new teaser released gives us our first look at many of the leading Friday the 13th cast members in action. In the clip, we get to see a...

Friday the 13th franchise star Kane Hodder hasn't played Jason Voorhees on the big screen since 2002's Jason X, but the legendary horror star says he's ready to play the character once again if he gets the opportunity. Additionally, Hodder also has some ideas for the next Friday the 13th movie, which would see many other fan favorite stars returning to the series as well.

The thinking behind this is that longtime fans of the series have watched each of the installments so many times over the past couple decades, and it would be fun as a viewer to see many faces they recognize in the next movie. Kane Hodder says this.

"I just think that when they do do a 13th one, it certainly couldn't hurt to bring me back as Jason, unless it's in 20 years, maybe. But it certainly couldn't hurt the success of the movie, I don't think,...

The Friday the 13th cast reunion movie 13 Fanboy has finalized its cast of special guest stars, as Lar Park Lincoln has joined the movie as the last horror hire. Lincoln spoke about the news herself in a Q&a video posted on her fan page on Facebook. Aside from her memorable role in the classic horror movie House II: The Second Story, Lincoln is best known to horror fans for playing the lead role of Tina Shepard in Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood. Because of the character's Carrie-like abilities, Tina manages to defeat Jason Voorhees in the end of the movie, making Lincoln the seventh "final girl" of the Friday the 13th series.

13 Fanboy is bringing in a wide variety of various Friday the 13th movie stars, and this will also serve as a bit of a reunion for Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood.

The Friday the 13th reunion slasher movie 13 Fanboy has added yet another fan favorite to the cast, as actress Adrienne King has been confirmed for a cameo. Directed and co-written by Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning star Deborah Voorhees, 13 Fanboy is a passion project made specifically for Jason fans. With a very meta story, the movie will be about a homicidal psychopath murdering legends from the horror genre, mostly from the Friday the 13th series. A bulk of the cast will all be playing themselves, and there will even be multiple Jason actors in the movie who just wind up as victims this time.

Fans of the franchise remember King fondly as the very first final girl of the series. As camp counselor Alice Hardy, King's character managed to survive the first Friday the 13th killing spree. Of course, the killer in the original movie wasn't Jason,...

Dee Wallace recently reunited with her children from E.T. and Cujo, and shared a photo of the meeting online. In a photo posted to her official Twitter account, Wallace poses with E.T. co-star Henry Thomas and Cujo co-star Danny Pintauro at the Spooky Empire convention in Orlando, Florida. "They'll forever be my kids!" Wallace notes in the caption, referring to the times she played the mother to each of these actors when they were children in the classic '80s movies. For fans of both Cujo and E.T., there's just something inherently awesome about seeing all three of these people in the same photo.

Wallace is undoubtedly one of the most legendary scream queens of all time, having appeared in a variety of classic horror movies. One of her most well-known horror roles came in 1983 when she starred as Donna Trenton in Lewis Teague's Cujo. Based on the Stephen King novel,...

"13: Fanboy" is quite a feat in horror, directed by Deborah Voorhees ("Friday the 13th: A New Beginning") while written by Joel Paul Reisig and Deborah Vorhees, boasts quite a few famous horror names among the cast: Corey Feldman, Kane Hodder, Judie Aronson, Thom Mathews, C.J. Graham, Jennifer Banko, Tracie Savage, Timothy Skyler Dunigan, Vincente Disanti, Ron Sloan, Drew Leighty, Hayley Greenbauer, Donald Schell, Rachael Christenson and Brad M. Robinson - and maybe you!

Certainly, it goes without saying that the upcoming horror movie 13 Fanboy will be a must-see movie for horror fans. It seems to be the closest we'll get to seeing another Friday the 13th movie in the near future, considering the never-ending legal battle over the franchise rights. To help fill the void, one of the stars of Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning, Deborah Voorhees, is writing and directing a new slasher movie which features tons of fan favorite stars from the series.

Each new casting announcement has only made the movie more exciting, and that continues now that Voorhees has officially announced genre superstar Dee Wallace for a lead role.

Just last week, Corey Feldman was also confirmed to be joining the movie's cast. Unlike most of the other talent involved, however, Feldman will be playing an original character rather than appearing as himself. As a child actor,...

With the rights to the Friday the 13th franchise still being fought over in court, there's no telling when to expect to see Jason Voorhees on the big screen again. To satisfy fans, one of the franchise's most memorable stars is making her own slasher movie, with most of its cast consisting of various stars from the Friday the 13th movies. Known for her role in A New Beginning, scream queen Deborah Voorhees is writing and directing 13 Fanboy, and has already put together a solid cast. The newest addition to the cast could be the most exciting one yet, as Voorhees has recently announced in her official Facebook group she's cast Corey Feldman for a role in the movie.

Corey Feldman has appeared in many different movies in his career, stemming from his start as a child star. One of his earliest roles was of Jason's biggest nemesis Tommy Jarvis,...

Officially, it has now been the longest span of time between Friday the 13th movies. The last one to be released was the 2009 remake by Platinum Dunes, which means we're coming up on a decade without seeing Jason Voorhees on the big screen. Unfortunately, the future of the franchise remains uncertain, due to some legal drama going on over the rights. With it potentially being years before we get another official movie, filmmakers are taking it upon themselves to keep Jason alive in the meantime. The next one to keep an eye on is Voorhees, which just released a full trailer this week.

From director Cody Faulk and executive producer Chris Plaushin, Voorhees began as a successfully crowdfunded short film. Upon shooting, it was realized that there was still so much more of the story left to tell, that the filmmakers launched another campaign to make the movie feature length.

Given her last name, you could say Deborah Voorhees was destined to have a career in horror movies. She became a favorite for fans of the genre beginning with her appearance in Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning back in 1985, which featured a scene of her character being stabbed through both eyes with a pair of garden shears. In recent years, Voorhees has been working on her own independent films under her Voorhees Films banner, and her next project will have fans of the franchise excited. Called 13 Fanboy, the indie flick will tell the story of an obsessed fan stalking the stars of the Friday the 13th movie series, killing them in similar ways their characters were murdered by Jason Voorhees (and Roy Burns) on screen.

Written and directed by Friday the 13th: A New Beginning star Debi Sue Voorhees, this film will have no official connection whatsoever...

“Jason Voorhees is dead! His body was cremated. He’s nothing but a handful of ash!”

Friday The 13th Part V: A New Beginning was supposed to screen Midnights this weekend at The Moolah Theater and Lounge (3821 Lindell Blvd, St. Louis, Mo 63108) as part of Destroy the Brain’s monthly Late Night Grindhouse film series but it has been postponed becasue of the weather until next weekend (January 20th and 21st).

Okay, so Friday The 13th Part V: A New Beginning is hardly a subtle, and tasteful work of sophisticated cinematic art, but it is so incredibly crass, coarse, and unapologetically trashy that it’s always entertaining and occasionally even downright sidesplitting in its gleeful go-for-it nastiness. Director/co-writer Danny Steinmann (also responsible for the terrific Linda Blair rape-and-revenger Savage Streets) deserves credit for effectively creating and sustaining an engrossingly sleazy atmosphere throughout and eschewing the by now exceedingly tiresome...

Chicago – The reboot of “Friday the 13th” was another financially successful notch in the belt of Platinum Dunes, the film company behind the remakes of “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “The Hitcher,” and “The Amityville Horror”. Making $90 million worldwide and more domestically than any previous Jason Voorhees movie (that didn’t include Freddy Krueger), “Friday the 13th” has a following that will be ecstatic with the excellent Blu-Ray release for the slasher title.

Blu-Ray Rating: 3.5/5.0 The Blu-Ray of “Friday the 13th” delivers everything fans could ask for. Not only do they present a longer and better cut of the film in the 9-minutes-longer “Extended Cut,” but the special features enhance the “Friday the 13th” experience and the technical transfer is nearly flawless.

Friday the 13th was released on Blu-Ray on June 16th, 2009.

As for the film itself, my response to “Friday the 13th” is mixed at best. I love...
