One final Friday the 13th surprise as we’ve hit peak Friday the 13th in online pop culture.

NECA shared plans for new figures based on Sean Cunningham’s 1980 breakout slasher hit.

Below you’ll see prototype heads for both Mrs. Pamela Voorhees (played by Betsy Palmer) and Jason Voorhies (Ari Lehman).

It’s said to be from NECA’s Mego-style clothed line (I hope not), and promises to give us the first ever Jason in figure form, which is exciting in itself.

Get up on all of today’s Friday there 13th stories here.

Dan Stevens is everywhere lately, from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire to Abigail and the upcoming Cuckoo. We’re not complaining. Up next? He’s starring in horror movie The Ritual.

Al Pacino and Dan Stevens have both joined the cast of the upcoming exorcism horror movie from XYZ Films and director David Midell, Variety reports this afternoon.

Based on a true story, the film “follows two priests — one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) — who must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms.”

Variety details, “The film is an authentic portrayal of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.”

David Midell and Enrico Natale wrote the screenplay for The Ritual.

XYZ Films is planning to release the horror film theatrically in 2025.
