Friday the 13th TV series UPDATE

By
Does anyone remember the series from the 80's? Friday the 13th: The Series ran from 1987-1990 and anyone that grew up with Jason and his relation to the title tuned in every week. We didn't know better back then but we thought Jason Voorhees would eventually show up.

He obviously didn't. The show focused on a very hot red head named Micki Foster, played by Louise Robey. She inherited a store of mysterious trinkets and co-owned it with her cousin Ryan. No Jason, no way to have a love interest, no wonder the show didn't last. 

Well, it looks like history may repeat its self. According to a statement by Tim Jacobs on behalf of the shows creator it's going to be a more like Scream in referencing the actual horror of Jason from the films. This is new information since we last heard about a new Friday the 13th television series.

"The basic premise focuses on the REAL city of Crystal Lake, and the effect that the serialized films had on its real life counterpart. This allows them to re-imagine Jason in a more grounded reality, as the films would be based off the real life killings that took place at the Camp." -Jacobs
 I don't know if that's good or bad because it would still be missing the main ingredient, Jason. The other thing is the network that is interested, the CW. That's not a bad network considering the fan base of Arrow and The Flash but we'll have to wait and see how it goes.

The news came out of Monster Mania in Cherry Hill,NJ of which we had the pleasure of going. The photo above was taken at the event. You never know what you you will find out at a horror convention.

Better Late Than Never Review: All The Phantasm Movies

By
The Phantasm Series Shows Players Riding Out Their Passions I just recently watched all the Phantasm movies.  I watched the entire franchise in two days after not seeing any of the films since I was a kid. I know things are opening up and the weather is nice, but we're not quite out of the COVID-19 woods yet. Since that is the case I am still re-watching old horror flicks and catching ones I might have missed . The Phantasm series stretches to almost 40 years of horror, beginning in what I feel was the best time for horror films, the 80s. The first one, Phantasm (1979) came out when I was still wet behind the ears, barely a kid. I didn't even set eyes on it until the early 80s. All I could remember about the movie was "The Tall Man,' played by Angus Scrimm in all the films, those flying chrome-plated death spheres, and little dudes in cans.  Along with Scrimm, the film stars Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornberry, and Reggie Bannister. Baldwin plays Mike Pearson, who is the...

Brush Fire and How I Finished My First Novella

By
Brush Fire is the first of many stories that I hope to write. Photo by Patrick Fore on Unsplash Some years ago, in 2015 I attended the NJ Comic Expo . I was covering it for this site, to gain experience and get my feet wet covering events since it was something I knew I wanted to do for my freelance work. Writing is something I never thought I would get into, but I fell into it through my love for martial arts, reading, and film. It's why I made this site, so I can write about the things I love. By looking for things to write about, I found that my love for reading balances out with my love of writing. Usually, I do one, then the other but a lot of the writing I do is inspired by the work I do for combat sports. I don't want to be a one-trick pony. I want to evolve my writing and I'm always looking for ways to get better.  Some of my favorite stories in various mediums come from Stephen King . So, when I went looking for instruction on how he writes, I found his book ...
