Kane Hodder Dressing as NES Jason and Savini Jason at Upcoming Convention!

Published

One of the coolest things about Friday the 13th: The Game is that Kane Hodder did all the motion capture for Jason Voorhees, which means he plays every single version of Jason in the game. That includes versions of Jason he never actually played in the movies, as well as the 8-bit NES Jason and the brand new, Tom Savini-designed “Hell Jason.”

At the upcoming Mad Monster Party convention in Phoenix, Arizona this coming July, fans will have the chance to meet Hodder as both NES Jason and Savini Jason!

The con explains…

“KANE HODDER will don 2 new hockey masks he’s never worn in films or anywhere else before: “SAVINI JASON” and “8-BIT JASON!” in celebration of Gun Media and IllFonic’s AMAZING Friday the 13th: The Game – the greatest gift to the franchise since Kane himself! We’ll present, for the FIRST TIME EVER, Kane as Jason like you’ve never seen him before (he played ALL the Jasons in the game but he never wore these costumes before onscreen or anywhere else)! Of course, Tom Savini will oversee his Savini Jason and he and Kane are as excited as we are to see these versions come to life for the first time ever!”

“Photo ops will be on sale individually but we’ll be offering an even more exclusive, limited edition Friday the13th Ticket that will include BOTH photo ops (Savini Jason on Saturday and 8-Bit Jason on Sunday) as well as a special Friday the 13th “Meet & Greet” with Kane Hodder who will explain to our lucky combo ticket holders why the day is so special to him personally, not just to his alter ego Jason. Obviously, the combo ticket would require a 3 day SHRIEKend pass.”

New Gameplay Teaser Shows off Key Mechanics for ‘Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days’ [Watch]

Published

Over a year after it was first announced, developer PikPok has dropped a new gameplay teaser for their upcoming entry in the Into the Dead series with Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days. We still don’t have a release date for the zombie strategy game, which is currently in development for an Early Access release on Steam later this year.

The new gameplay teaser shows off Our Darkest Days‘ high tension atmosphere, including key gameplay mechanics such as crafting meals and tools, healing survivors suffering from physical and mental injuries, and of course, fighting off zombies.

“We’re really excited to be showing off a snippet of what we’ve been working on since our announcement trailer in 2023,” says Juliann Lum, PikPok senior product manager. “So much more has gone into the game, including new ways for survivors to interact with the world around them, each other, and of course the dangerous undead that infest the city of Walton.” Lum went on to say that more reveals for Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days are coming over the next few months.

Set in 1980 Texas, Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is a 2.5D side-scroller where players must guide a group of survivors from shelter to shelter within the beleaguered Walton City, which is infested with the undead. Managing resources and survivors’ needs is crucial as players try to keep ahead of the rising threat while executing plans to escape the quarantined city area.

As mentioned, you’ll be scavenging for supplies, crafting tools and weapons, as well as fighting off the undead, all the while keeping constant movement as the zombie threat closes in. While their experiences will lead survivors to gain new skills, players will also need to manage their physical and psychological needs, as Our Darkest Days has a permadeath mechanic.
