A documentary covering the 1993 Friday the 13th sequel Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (Watch It Here – OWN It Here) has been in the works for quite a while, and about eight months ago Jason Goes to Hell director Adam Marcus took to social media to give a promising update on its progress, saying that it was about to go through the color timing and sound mixing stages of post-production. It has been longer than expected, but now Marcus has given another update, letting fans know that the color timing and sound mixing are finally happening this month.
Before the week began, Marcus wrote, “The doc just went through legal and has been approved. Which means we are officially Locked! This means the film is completed from an editing stage and we’ve taken all the steps to ensure that the film meets all the standards to be released.

Tis the season to be scary and Screambox has got you covered with a trio of brand-spanking-new Christmas-themed horror movies that go perfectly with cookies and milk in front of a warm fire.
Now streaming on Screambox from the director of Jason Goes to Hell is Secret Santa and the awesomely creepy anthology Night of the Missing.
That’s not all! Just in time for Christmas break, Santastein will make the long winter’s nights anything but silent on Dec. 19.
Since Black Christmas, holiday films have been a refreshing sub-genre within horror. These films offer a much-needed contrast to the “all is well” narrative that is so often depicted in seasonal films. The angst and anxiety of holiday horror offer a cathartic release because for many the holidays are not perfect, and we don’t see ourselves in the yuletide rom-coms.

2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the events of the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the 20th anniversary of the release of the remake, and also the tenth anniversary of an entry in the franchise that has less fans than those two just mentioned: Texas Chainsaw 3D (watch it Here). Recently, our friends at Bloody Disgusting sat down for an interview with one of the film’s writers, Adam Marcus, and during their chat Marcus revealed that the movie lost its cannibalism due to the box office failure of The Midnight Meat Train and lost a couple massacres due to the lower-than-expected budget.
Directed by John Luessenhop and sporting a story credited to Stephen Susco, Adam Marcus, and Debra Sullivan, and a screenplay by Marcus, Sullivan, and Kirsten Elms, Texas Chainsaw 3D has the following synopsis: Decades ago, residents of Newt, Texas, long suspected that the Sawyer family was responsible for the disappearances of many people.

Horror fans will recognize Adam Marcus as the director of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday and the co-writer of Texas Chainsaw 3D, two divisive but oft-discussed entries in their respective franchises. He recently returned to the genre to helm Secret Santa, a holiday horror-comedy streaming exclusively on Screambox.
The final installment in our three-part interview with the raconteur focuses on Secret Santa and the trials and tribulations of independent filmmaking. He also teases several projects that are in the works, including a monstrous collaboration with special effects legend Robert Kurtzman.
Secret Santa was born out of Marcus and his writing partner/wife Debra Sullivan’s frustration with the lack of creative control they had on their two previously produced screenplays, 2013’s Texas Chainsaw and 2015’s Momentum. “Artistically, it just started to feel really hollow.

The second installment in our three-part interview with the raconteur focuses on Texas Chainsaw, the 2013 direct sequel to 1974’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, including glimpses at how the original screenplay differs from the final movie.
“When you see the line ‘Do your thing, cuz’ and people are angry at you for writing it, and you didn’t write it, you just start getting really frustrated about the state of modern filmmaking and the voice that filmmakers have,” Marcus confesses.
The Grudge scribe Stephen Susco wrote the first draft, but as Marcus tells it, “Lionsgate did not want his script because it was about cannibals.

Five years have gone by since Adam Marcus, the director of the 1993 Friday the 13th sequel Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (Watch It Here – OWN It Here), first mentioned that he was interested in revisiting that film’s badass bounty hunter character Creighton Duke, who was played by Steven Williams. Marcus has been focused on putting together the documentary Hearts of Darkness: The Making of the Final Friday in recent years, but now that the documentary is almost finished, he has confirmed to Bloody Disgusting that he still intends to bring back Creighton Duke for another movie. Sort of. You see, since Duke is a Friday the 13th franchise character, Marcus doesn’t actually own the rights to use him in any other projects. So the character is going to have to have a different name – but it sounds like it’s going to be pretty obvious that...

The frightful weather outside has nothing on the family gathering in Secret Santa. Adam Marcus, who is best known for unleashing the gonzo Friday the 13th entry Jason Goes to Hell upon the world, truly outdid himself with this over-the-top Christmas horror movie. Which is saying a lot considering the events of Jason Voorhees’ sole ‘90s outing. After some time away from the genre, though, Marcus returned in 2018 with a comedy as black as coal. Christmas cynics will naturally be drawn to the promise of a family going off the deep end during the holidays. However, this seasonal shocker may prove to be too much even for the biggest of scrooges.
For many folks, Christmas is the most joyous time of the year. For April Pope (A. Leslie Kies) and other members of her family, it’s the most dreadful. The director’s own internal struggle with Christmas is channeled...

This past Sunday, August 13th, marked the thirtieth anniversary of one of the most divisive entries in the Friday the 13th franchise, 1993’s Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (Watch It Here – OWN It Here). To mark the occasion, Jason Goes to Hell director Adam Marcus took to social media to announce that an epic documentary on the film, Hearts of Darkness: The Making of the Final Friday, is almost finished!
Marcus said, “The picture is locked. Our soundtrack is just days away from completion. It will only have to go through Color Timing next week, Sound Mix the week after and then has to be seen by our legal team (Larry Zerner in Jason’s house!) and then we’re done! I will, at that time, include all of you in what we are working on for our Distribution and Film Festival & Convention schedule. You are, after all,...

I thought I was done buying The Texas Chain Saw Massacre after upgrading to the 40th anniversary edition Blu-ray in 2014. Between the crisp presentation and the copious extras, I was certain it was the definitive version of Tobe Hooper‘s 1974 masterpiece. Yet here I am, nearly a decade later, ready to sing the praises of Dark Sky Films‘ 4K Ultra HD edition.
Long before “gritty” was an industry buzzword, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre epitomized the term. As such, one might be wary that a 4K restoration could hinder the viewing experience, but that is not at all the case. Utilizing the 4K scan from the aforementioned Blu-ray, which was approved by Hooper, and now with a wider color gamut courtesy of Hdr, the picture is presented in staggering clarity while maintaining the 16mm film grain. The oppressive heat is virtually palpable.

About a year and a half ago, Texas Chainsaw 3D (watch it Here) star Alexandra Daddario gave an interview where she had some interesting things to say about her time working on the film (which just celebrated its 10th anniversary earlier this month). Daddario revealed that she had tried to get the “Do you thing, cuz!” line cut, and that she is very grateful to have been in the movie. Not just because she was having trouble getting work at the time, but also because there were severe issues to overcome during the production and it taught her “what happens when things go wrong, what happens when things go right, why did they go wrong, why shouldn’t they have happened, how does the studio get involved when something goes wrong, how studios interact with projects.” Now, during a new interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Daddario seems to have...

If the new Halloween movie wasn’t Halloween-y enough for you, well, you probably also hated this other “final” franchise film…
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)
Director: Adam Marcus
Stars: Kane Hodder, Steven Williams, Erin Gray
Is There A Plot?
Despite already having a “Final Chapter” five movies earlier, Jason Voorhees is once again killed, allowing the residents of Crystal Lake to relax for the first time in a decade. But, of course, just because his body was destroyed, it doesn’t mean the hockey-masked murderer is done murdering.
What’S The Damage?
Similar to how some are saying Halloween Ends isn’t really a Halloweeen movie and complaining about Michael Myers’ noticeable absence, one could make the same claim about Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday, which barely counts as an entry in the franchise and also features a title killer who sits out the majority of his own film.
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)

Stars: Kane Hodder, Steven Williams, Erin Gray
Is There A Plot?
Despite already having a “Final Chapter” five movies earlier, Jason Voorhees is once again killed, allowing the residents of Crystal Lake to relax for the first time in a decade. But, of course, just because his body was destroyed, it doesn’t mean the hockey-masked murderer is done murdering.
What’S The Damage?
Similar to how some are saying Halloween Ends isn’t really a Halloweeen movie and complaining about Michael Myers’ noticeable absence, one could make the same claim about Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday, which barely counts as an entry in the franchise and also features a title killer who sits out the majority of his own film.

Earlier this week, we learned that one of the many movies that will be premiering at this year’s edition of Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas will be director Phillip Escott‘s documentary The Legacy of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which “presents a journey into The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, exploring the elements that garnered the film its cult status.” With Fantastic Fest set to run from September 22nd through the 29th, the premiere of The Legacy of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is just over a month away at this point – and a trailer has arrived online to give a preview of what Escott has in store for viewers! You can check it out in the embed above.
The original Texas Chain Saw Massacre was set on August 18, 1973, so today is the perfect day to share this trailer.

Friday the 13th remains trapped in legal limbo. The long-running litigation between franchise producer Sean S. Cunningham and the original film’s writer Victor Miller continues to rumble through the appeals process, though it seems Miller currently has the upper hand. There’s been some indication that this dispute may be finally resolved sometime in Summer 2020, though I would imagine that the Coronavirus pandemic and social distancing rules will have a delaying effect on non-urgent civil proceedings.
But while a new Friday the 13th movie isn’t happening for some time, fans can at least experience the murderous wrath of Jason Voorhees on their tongue. Gemini Crow Hot Sauce is releasing several varieties of Jason-themed hot sauce, which comes in ‘Slasher Sauce,’ ‘Slasher Sauce – Part II,’ ‘Blood of the Lake’ and ’40’ varieties.

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday is the ninth entry in the Friday the 13th franchise, and has remained something of a bastard stepchild in an already shaky series. Two versions exist, an R-rated theatrical cut and a slightly longer unrated director’s cut, the latter of which will be making its way to Blu-ray for the first time.
Following the news that a 12-film Blu-ray set containing every movie in the saga is on the way, Jason Goes to Hell director Adam Marcus was tagged in a post about it and asked if the version of his film included in the set would be the uncut one. His response was enthusiastically in the affirmative.
“Yes, this will be the first true unrated BluRay!!! With new features and awesomeness! It’s gonna rock!!!“

Most would probably agree that it’s been a pretty rough ride for fans of the iconic Jason Voorhees. Yes, with the Friday The 13th franchise still caught in legal limbo, it’ll probably be the end of summer, at the earliest, before we see any sort of resolution to the ongoing court battle that’s been plaguing the series for years now.
But while Paramount’s hands may be tied for the moment, as they can’t produce any new movies under the Friday the 13th banner until things get resolved, that doesn’t mean there won’t be any sort of celebration for the beloved horror series’ upcoming 40th anniversary later this year.
In fact, it seems they’ll be putting out a brand new 12-film Blu-ray set for the occasion. Bloody Disgusting has the scoop here, reporting that several people involved with the franchise have been hinting at this new collection.

For as great as the Internet can be at connecting celebrities to their many fans, it also has the potential to be extremely vitriolic. Just ask Star Wars actresses Daisy Ridley and Kelly Marie Tran, as well as frequent target of trolls Brie Larson. All of these stars and countless more have been subject to unfair harassment online just because ignorant fans have a problem with their performances. While much of society blames the web for this influx of toxic fandom, Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday director Adam Marcus revealed recently that things have always been this way.
The filmmaker joined a Facebook group dedicated to the film and posted a heartfelt message to both admins and fans, saying:

Just behind horror, believe it or not, my second favourite genre of film is ‘Christmas’. I will watch anything if it has a Christmas theme or is set at that time of year. So obviously when these two genres mix, I am over the moon! And there’s plenty of great Christmas horror movies out there. Even in the last few years we’ve had Krampus, A Christmas Horror Story and Better Watch Out. And I was hoping Secret Santa would be added to the list of films I will watch once a year.

Jason Goes To Hell, the ninth installment in the iconic Friday the 13th movie series, shares some DNA with the Evil Dead franchise.
Mr. Voorhees isn’t opposed to a film crossover, given he’s previously shared the screen with Freddy Krueger of A Nightmare on Elm Street. But the connective tissue between Jason Goes to Hell and those Deadites is much more subtle in nature, as it involves a reference to the famous Necronomicon.
Adam Marcus, director of Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday, has previously elaborated on his choice to make Voorhees a Deadite, but thanks to a new interview with Syfy Wire (h/t ComicBook.com), the creator dives that little bit deeper into what it was like bringing two horror franchises together, despite the fact that they hail from two different studios.

Jason Voorhees, one of horror’s greatest ever icons, is ready for his close-up… but this time, there’s a twist.
The Dark Heart of Jason Voorhees is a documentary that promises to deep dive into the creation of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, perhaps the most infamous addition to the Friday the 13th series, well, ever.
Directed by Adam Marcus, the nerve-wracking slasher originally premiered in 1993, and soon became the horror flick everyone loved to hate. This hotly-anticipated doc hopes to get to the bottom of that controversy, and while we’ve yet to receive word of an official release date, the suitably epic poster art has emerged online for your viewing pleasure, one which cuts to the chase and casts light on the sequel’s most iconic moment.

What’s more, this slightly loopy idea isn’t the only unusual piece of news that Marcus has shared with us in the past year, with the Texas Chainsaw 3D writer mentioning back in November that he considered the psychotic Jason Voorhees to be a Deadite of the Evil Dead variety.

As if the lineup for Arrow Video FrightFest 2018 wasn't impressive enough, the festival has added two films to its slate: David Barker's Pimped (touted as an erotic thriller with a touch of Hitchcock and Brian De Palma appeal) and screenings of the restoration of John Carpenter's classic Halloween!

Press Release: Two extra films have been added to the record-breaking 2018 line-up: Pimped is director David Barker’s modern transgressive erotic thriller, an Hitchcocktail of elevated suspense and shock in the revered style of Brian De Palma, And If you’ve never seen John Carpenter’s Halloween on the big screen, now’s your best chance. The inclusion of this 4K restoration needs no explanation in anticipation of a new Michael Myers slasher being released in October.

As we wait for Friday The 13th to be rebooted again, the director of Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday, Adam Marcus, is planning a spinoff film! It's actually a pretty interesting idea and it will focus on the character Creighton Duke. For those of you who need a refresher of who this character is:
A teenage Creighton was out on Crystal Lake with his girlfriend. Jason capsized their small boat and pulled the girl down into the lake. Creighton tried to save her but could not. She was never seen again. Creighton vowed revenge and from that moment on he spent his life in the study and pursuit of Jason. He became a bounty hunter just to fund his work in taking down his nemesis.An unpredictable and sadistic man, Duke operated out of a private training compound and was credited with personally capturing a total of six known serial killers.

When Adam Marcus, director of the 1993 film Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, announced that the slasher sequel might be getting its own spinoff movie that would focus on the supporting character Creighton Duke, it was honestly a little hard to judge just how serious the filmmaker was about this somewhat loopy proposal.
The ninth installment of the Friday the 13th series is hardly the most beloved flick in the franchise. What’s more, these movies have long moved on from Jason’s clash with the amusingly twisted bounty hunter, with subsequent films taking the hockey-masked killer into space and Freddy Krueger’s dream world, before the property got a full on reboot in 2009.
All the same, Marcus evidently isn’t letting this idea go just yet, and has even addressed one of the key questions that the project was inevitably going to have to tackle. That is, how...

A Friday the 13th film that barely features its own title character in physical form, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday isn’t exactly a fan favorite and the critics weren’t too pleased either, making it all the more perplexing that the 1993 slasher sequel might be getting its own spinoff.
The movie in question would be the second outing for Creighton Duke, a bounty hunter who dresses like a cowboy and has a serious grudge against the murderous Jason Voorhees. Director Adam Marcus has remained a vocal fan of the character throughout the years, and going by the filmmaker’s statements on the the Cinema Toast Crunchcast, he now wants to channel his enthusiasm into an entire feature:

To be honest, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday is my least favorite entry into the entire Friday the 13th series, but I can at least understand why it has its supporters. Boasting an outlandish plot which saw Mr. Voorhees hop from body to body, I guess it was to be expected that not everyone would take to this sharp left turn from the norm, but you kind of have to admire the filmmakers for sticking to their guns.
Now, in preparation for the flick’s 25th anniversary, Nick Hunt is directing a new documentary, Dark Heart of Jason Voorhees: The Making of the Final Friday, which seems pretty self-explanatory. But, if you require a little more information, you should be thrilled to know that Jason Goes to Hell director Adam Marcus – and others – are willing to spill their guts regarding the movie’s production.

Much like any long-running horror franchise, Friday the 13th has gone to some strange places in its illustrious history. In short, Jason Voorhees has risen from the grave, took Manhattan in a way much different from the Muppets, gone to space, and has even been rebooted. But one sequel in particular still remains a point of discussion amongst the fanbase, that being the controversial Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday.
Personally, it’s my least favorite in the entire series, but I can at least understand why it has its supporters. With its outlandish plot that saw Jason hop from body to body before being reborn and emerging from beneath a floor as a fully clothed adult – in addition to planting the first seed for Freddy vs. Jason – it’s kind of easy to see why this flick has a cult following.
