Syfy is Airing an ‘Elm Street’ vs ‘Friday the 13th’ Marathon on Friday the 13th
Spend Friday the 13th with Freddy… and Jason… and Freddy vs. Jason!
There are only two Friday the 13ths in 2017, and the first one is tomorrow – the other is in October, which is *supposedly* when the re-reboot of the Friday the 13th franchise is finally going to be unleashed. Of course, there’s no better way to spend any given Friday the 13th than by watching Jason Voorhees slay horny young camp counselors, but this year, Syfy is going in a different direction with their programming: they’re airing a Nightmare on Elm Street marathon.
Beginning at 10am, Syfy will be feeding us a steady stream of Freddy with A Nightmare on Elm Street, Dream Warriors, Dream Master, and Dream Child. What about Jason, you ask? Don’t worry, he’s coming along for the fun at 6pm with Jason Goes to Hell, followed by Jason X. The joint franchise marathon concludes, rather fittingly, with Freddy vs. Jason at 10pm.
Check out the full schedule below.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
