[OMFG] IT’S FRIDAY THE 13TH!
It’s Friday the 13th. It’s our own personal holiday that typically comes more than once a year. It’s an excuse to spend the entire day watching horror movies. It’s also a date that most of us genre fiends prefer to revisit New Line Cinema’s classic Friday the 13th franchise.
With the hours already ticking down until Saturday the 14th, time is of the essence (unless of course you play the time zone game). It’s time to drop everything you’re doing and worship the day that has delivered more than a handful of sweet offerings over the past 30 years.
First and foremost, after the break we’ve uploaded the popular YouTube video featuring (nearly) every kill in the Friday the 13th franchise (it hasn’t been updated). In addition, we’d also like to point you to our 2009 series of articles entitled 13 Days of Friday the 13th, which was used to amp up the release of the WB remake. Weeding through the 800+ stories you’ll find a recap of all of the films as well as some gems including “Camp Whisker Lake: Facial Hair and the Friday the 13th Franchise,” “The Nerds of Friday the 13th,” and of course, “The Masks of Jason Voorhees!”
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
