Whenever the 13th day of any given month falls on a Friday, the internet horror community spends that entire week celebrating the Friday the 13th franchise, and we feel it is our duty as horror fans to plop down on our couches and ingest as many of the films in the franchise as possible... and it sort of is our unwritten duty, isn't it? It's what Jason and his mother would want us to do, and if there's one thing we've learned from the series, it's to not piss off the Voorhees family on Friday the 13th.
Many blog posts are written about the various actors/stuntmen who brought Jason to life over the years, guys like Kane Hodder and Derek Mears, whom we will forever love for putting on the hockey mask. But I wanted to go in a bit of a different direction today, and instead shine the...

While browsing around on the IMDb page of Warner Bros. upcoming remake of Friday The 13th I noticed something intriguing. On the site they credit Nana Visitor as the actress who plays Pamela Voorhees (Jason's mother who is beheaded in the original) and Kathleen Garrett as "Jason's Mother". We made a few phone calls and learned that there are in fact two people playing Pamela Voorhees, and here's how. Visitor - who was the first cast - stars in the actual film at Ms. Voorhees, while Garrett shared her voice as Jason's anger-filled mama in the full trailer that's been online the past few months. Hope that clears the air. You can see Visitor in action when Friday hits theaters February 13th, 2009.
