Fan Uploads Video of Amazing Original Lobby Standee from ‘Friday the 13th: Part 3’
You may remember that we wrote an article a couple months back wherein we shared vintage, newly unearthed images from an opening weekend event for Friday the 13th: Part 3 back in 1982. The event took place in the Washington, DC area, and an actor was hired to play Jason Voorhees for it. Those photos, well, they warmed our heart.
In one of the photos, “Jason” is standing in front of a large Friday the 13th: Part 3 standee, which one fan actually still has in his possession! As reported by the Facebook page Slasher Trash, Friday fan Gregg Parish has had the Part 3 standee for the past 30 years, and he recently dug it out of storage to share it with the internet.
Parish notes, “So, just dug this out of storage. Have had it since 1986. Got it at an antique show for $20 trading a Gone With The Wind video standup. Plugged it in and it still works after being out of sight for 20+ years. Now, it’s part of my office.”
The standee has a “dripping blood” feature, which you can see in action below!
Just in case it wasn’t already clear, Jason Voorhees will be arriving in Dead by Daylight next week. And along with teasing their 10th Anniversary Livestream on June 14, Behaviour Interactive also dropped another teaser, this time for Jason and his never-before-seen Bloody Jason skin. That also includes a Redband variant, just for old time’s sake.
While it’s unclear for now just how players can snag this gory cosmetic, the skin joins the other three previously-revealed skins in the Jason Collection, featuring a range of Outfits that pay homage to his legacy while being reimagined in ways only The Fog could shape. Jason’s default Outfit presents the unmistakable icon from Jason Universe, originally designed by horror legend Greg Nicotero: a 13-holed hockey mask, machete, and weather-beaten clothing worn through countless kills.
Additional outfits include Backwoods Terror, which trades Jason’s jacket for flannel and suspenders, and his machete for a heavy axe. Death Forsaken offers a more grotesque incarnation with decayed features, exposed bone, and a shovel in hand. Lastly, Jason’s Depths of Despair Outfit sees him emerging from the depths; a vision of terror covered head-to-toe in barnacles, coral, and seaweed.
Dead by Daylight: Jason will be available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch on June 16.
