The ‘Friday the 13th’ Props Museum Releasing a Must-Own Coffee Table Book
If you’re a hardcore fan of the Friday the 13th franchise, there’s a good chance a copy of Peter Bracke’s Crystal Lake Memories, a comprehensive look at the complete history of the series, already rests on your coffee table. If it doesn’t, well, it damn well should. And another Friday book is headed our way, this one all about screen-used props.
Mario Kirner is the man behind the Friday the 13th Props Museum, a private collection of props, costumes and other memorabilia used in the actual production of the Friday the 13th films. Over on the official Facebook page for the private museum, Kirner announced today that he’s essentially opening up its doors via a coffee table book.
“We are proud to announce to publish a neat coffee table book containing the entire inventory with all new pics and never before seen details,” says Kirner. “The book will be available in a limited edition of only 100 prints world wide. The book serves as collectible, reverence and “close at hand” version of the museum. It will contain hundreds of items like props, costumes, scripts and other stuff used during the actual production of the films.”
He adds, “Publishing time will be around April to May 2018. Price for the book will be announced soon, when I post some teaser pics.”

Bruce Campbell is back this year with his brand new movie Ernie & Emma touring the country, and the horror legend has also written a brand new novella that’s now available to read.
Available now as an eBook and paperback, New York Times Bestselling Author Bruce Campbell’s Reconcile sees Campbell putting his own spin on the classic Western genre.
Campbell explains, “My mother, Joanne, loved the Western genre. She read every Zane Grey novel he ever wrote. I know because I drew stick-figure cartoons in the margins of her massive paperback collection. Westerns, by nature, are riddled with clichés – the steely-eyed, unshaven hero protecting innocent pioneers from brutal, unforgiving savages. With Reconcile, I tried to sidestep many of the cliché elements we’ve read or seen in Westerns for a generation.”
“Reality isn’t tidy or reliable,” Campbell continues. “Reality has unpleasant circumstances that don’t always resolve themselves like they do in the movies. In the heat of battle, the “good guys” and “bad guys” aren’t so easily defined. In the sprawling history of the American West, I’d like to think a different kind of story was possible, and I hope you enjoy it.”
You can purchase your copy of the 116-page, self-published novella now.
