Watch Jason Pop a Guy’s Head Off in ‘Mortal Kombat X’

Published

Jason Voorhees has finally made his way to Mortal Kombat X. If you purchased the game’s Kombat Pack, he’s available now, patiently waiting for you to put him to good use. The rest of you will need to wait until May 12 to drop $7.99 to unlock him and the Horror Pack, or $4.99 just for him.

I’ve spent some time with him, and for the most part, I think he’s a solid addition to the roster. That’s not to say that his portrayal isn’t without its issues, but if you’ve been watching him hack up horny teens as long as I have, or longer, than I don’t think he’ll disappoint. He’s fun to play as, but as entertaining as it is watching him literally Hulk someone to pieces, I wish NetherRealm would’ve paired him with a map set in Camp Crystal Lake. It feels like a missed opportunity.

Because we gorehounds are an insatiable bunch, YouTuber MKIceAndFire has gone and compiled every one of Jason’s finishing moves into one extremely gory video. My favorite part is when he tackles his opponent so hard his head flies off. I need to make that my email signature, pronto.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
