Official Friday the 13th

[cigsthecat]

No pics, as I still haven't replaced my stolen camera. Got the Jasons, added 'em to the growing collection. Kane was kind of a prick though. With the other two, I'd buy a picture and they would autograph it and the book for $20. Kane signes the picture, signs the book, then says that it will be $40. $40? He says Yeah, I signed two things.

I get the whole charging for an autograph thing, I have no problem with it as it's what some of these guys live off of. But Kane Hodder gets plenty of work. Back in 2000, he signed a picture, took a pic, and autographed a cheap-o mask for $25. Jesus.

Anyone who charges for an autograph is officially the biggest fag alive. Get a goddamn job losers.

The new Jason will be played by...

My thoughts: whatever. It's a character with pretty much no face time (literally speaking), so it's not that big a deal.

The dude's got the requisite weird shaped head as well.

Only problem with it is that he's just as tall as the guy from FvJ (Like 6'5''), which bugs me a bit.

Well, two F13 movies have passed on Kane. I guess he's oficially done with the role. That kinda sucks.

But I guess this new guy'll be fine, as long as he's a big, burly dude. I mean, he's already bald.

Anyway, Horrorfind was a lot of fun. My gf was happy because she got to meet and take pics with Bub from Day of the Dead and Flyboy from Dawn of the Dead. The only celeb you had to wait on line to meet was George Romero, but I didn't bother, even though the line wasn't too long.

The dealer's room was pretty cool, and there was a big costume contest we went back to see at night that was a lot of fun to watch. Ken Foree was the MC, and several of the actors from Day/Dawn were judges.

Later, in the hotel bar, that big black dude from Candyman (Tony Todd?) was hanging out while horny horror geek chicks came onto him, and the guy that played the white SWAT dude from Dawn of the Dead just came up and started talking to me and my gf for some reason. I asked him if they looted the mall they shot the movie in between takes.

BTW, Berringer, I tried to get you the Big Daddy autograph, but Eugene Clark ended up bugging out early Saturday before I could get a hold of him. I kept checking back in the celeb room but he never came back to his table for some reason. Sorry, but there's another Horrorfind con at the same place in August. If he's back and I go I can try for you again if you want.

Amanda Righetti has been cast as the lead female. Here's a pic.



Also, I picked up the new Cinema of Fear Part 6 Jason last night. It's pretty keen.

[Dolemite]

I knew it was out, but I can't find that Cinema of Fear Part 6 Jason anywhere.

Still, there's this Hot Topic where I picked up the Cinema of Fear Part 4 Jason...I guess I'll check there. There's this collectable toy store near me that I know would have it, but the guy who owns it is a raging dickwad who only sells complete sets.

[Dolemite]

As for the girl, she's your typical hot hollywood tart, interchangable with any of them. I'm sure she'll be as good as anyone else would.

It appears that this will be a totally run-of-the mill F13 movie, which is fine by me. After Jason Goes to Hell, Jason X, and FvJ, it'll be refreshing.

[Dolemite]

The collectible store near me got in the Cinema of Fear 2 figures, and what a shocker, they weren't selling them in sets only like they usually do- you could buy the figures separately.

So, here's the two figures I picked up- the Part 6 Jason (along with Part 7, it's my all-time favorite Jason design), and a 10-inch Jason that doesn't appear to be based exactly on any one movie. They're both great.




Here they are in their new home (say hi to teddy bear Jason, Berringer).


Still, this remains my favorite Jason toy- I won him from a claw game at a diner one night.


I love this- "Please remove my tag before playing with me."
