These ‘Friday the 13th: The Game’ Screens Sure Look Cozy
Gun Media has shared a fresh batch of screenshots from the Digital Camp Crystal Lake Cabin Retreat ahead of its launch on June 30th. This rather nifty pre-order bonus for Friday the 13th: The Game can be freely explored in first-person allowing fans to closely scrutinize the game’s art and assets, as well as listen to the soundtrack and developer commentary via the radio.
The Digital Cabin will be incomplete when it first goes live, but Gun promises to expand on it with “more rooms, more game models as they are completed, and much, much more” in the months leading up to the game’s release on PC, PS4 and Xbox One this October.
There are two weeks left in the Slasher Backer campaign Gun Media kicked off after it successfully raised $823k from 12,218 backers on Kickstarter last November. Since then, another 13,545 backers have spent an additional $160k to unlock a trio of stretch goals, including three new counselor classes, three secret kills designed by Tom Savini, and three Jason skins that should look familiar if you’ve seen Part VI, Part VIII and Part IX.
If unlocked, the next stretch goal will bring Tommy Jarvis back to Crystal Lake to help defeat Jason. Reaching it seems unlikely given the fast-approaching deadline. $68k is a lot of money to have to raise in just two weeks.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
