Hilarious Video Blends ‘Friday the 13th’ Films and Video Game
It’s Friday the 13th: The Game… in real life!
The developers of Friday the 13th: The Game managed to capture the feeling and overall execution of the Friday the 13th films so perfectly that it honestly feels like a lost sequel from the ’80s… one that happens to star YOU. Playing the game feels like watching the movies, and watching the movies now feels like, well, playing the game!
I’ve been revisiting the Friday the 13th films in the wake of logging countless hours in the video game’s world, and I’ve found myself watching them with a fresh set of eyes. I can’t help but imagine the movie characters as video game characters, yelling at the screen for them to tap the right buttons in order to evade Jason and make it out of Camp Crystal Lake alive.
And it seems I’m not the only one, as YouTuber PsychoFilms has just taken it upon himself to mesh together the Friday the 13th movies and video game in the way I had been imagining in my head. He took various clips from the movies and added the game’s sounds and on-screen prompts over top of them, making for a fun video that perfectly reflects how much the game has changed the experience of watching the films.

In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
