While Ken Kirzinger is often solely credited for playing Jason Voorhees in Freddy vs. Jason, it’s interesting to note that Kirzinger actually didn’t play Jason in the film’s final moments. For that final scene, wherein Jason emerges triumphantly from the waters of Crystal Lake, carrying Freddy’s severed head, the horror icon was played by stuntman/actor Douglas Tait.
Douglas Tait’s career as a stunt double actually began with Freddy vs. Jason, but his acting career dates back to the late ’90s. In addition to the 2003 slasher mash-up, Tait has also appeared in/worked on everything from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull to the upcoming horror sequel Unfriended: Dark Web, along with roles in “Sabrina, The Teenage Witch,” Star Trek (2009), Thor, “Teen Wolf” and “Grimm.”
Tait even played Godzilla in a memorable Snickers commercial a few years back!
Recently, a previously unseen behind the scenes shot from the final moments of Freddy vs. Jason surfaced, which led our friends over at the website Friday the 13th: The Franchise to collect together all the on-set images they have in their archives of Douglas Tait as Jason Voorhees. You can check out both of those galleries HERE and HERE.
Graciously, Douglas Tait just reached out to us to share even more behind the scenes shots from the set of Freddy vs. Jason, from his personal archives and never before seen. Enjoy!
Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.
Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.
“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”
Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.
No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.
A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.
Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters nationwide later this year via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting in conjunction with our partner on Terrifier 2, Iconic Events Releasing.
