Writers Reveal Script Pages from ‘Friday the 13th’ Remake’s Sequel; Jason Kills On Ice!
“Ed watches in horror as Jason Voorhees does something he’s never done before: He steps out onto Crystal Lake.”
Earlier this week, Friday the 13th remake writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift finally revealed the title of their sequel that was never made: The Death of Jason Voorhees.
Shannon and Swift also revealed that the film was set to be a direct sequel to their 2009 remake, but centered on new characters rather than continuing Whitney and Clay’s story. As they had previously noted, the remake’s sequel was also going to be set in the Winter, which would’ve been a hugely exciting first for the franchise.
Now, in celebration of Friday the 13th, the writers have uploaded four pages of the sequel’s script to Twitter. And they picked good ones, as the pages highlight Jason’s very first trip out onto a frozen Crystal Lake, wherein he slays one unlucky hockey player in a scene that surely would’ve been one of the coolest in the franchise’s history.
What ever happened to Whitney Miller? Well, the pages reveal her fate as well…

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
