The Many Wounds Of Mister Voorhees!
With the Friday the 13th game headed for an October release everyone is looking forward to slipping on a boiler suit and hockey mask for a jaunt around Camp Crystal Lake. While Mr. V is known for dishing out the punishment have you ever stopped to wonder about the wounds inflicted on his person? Illustrator Andrew Barr has taken this to heart and complied the various assaults Jason endures throughout the franchise.
Do you have a favourite fightback from the Friday films? You can follow more of Barr’s work on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
In case you missed it, in celebration of ‘Friday the 13th’ this year I drew up a parody of that classic illustration “the wound man.” The wound man Illustration depicted a verity of injuries a person could receive on the battlefield. Since everyone tends to focus on all the damage Jason tends to do yet ignores what he goes through I thought it would be funny to depict Jason’s injuries, then I realized how much damage he takes over the course of the franchise and just included the ones that tend to knock him down… The bottom of the image lists everything up until he gets blown up in Jason goes to hell.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
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.”
