Effects Artist Shares Never-Seen Behind the Scenes Photo of Kane Hodder from ‘Jason X’
Effects artist Damon Bishop has recently been sharing some pretty awesome behind the scenes photos from the set of Jason X, including several shots of the film’s Jason without his mask. Only briefly was he unmasked in the film, so those photos were a real treat.
Brought to our attention by Friday the 13th: The Franchise, Bishop just shared another previously unseen shot this week, showing Kane Hodder on set… without the mask on!
He explains the makeup work visible in the shot…
“If you look at the hair placement [the cap is] along the back edge hiding it from view. Same with the ear area. The front of the cap was obviously covered by the hockey mask. Kane mentioned that many of the other makeups were very hot and uncomfortable. This made it much easier for him while shooting. He also has some severe burn scars on his neck which we painted to match the cap. He could move more freely and there was no weird buckling from a prosthetic. Cleanup and removal was super fast too. We reused the cap.
Kane said it was the most comfortable version he’d worn. There was a full face and head piece made that we never used as there was only one brief shot of him without the hock, which was a full fake body. I posted pics of that head further down my page.”
Pretty cool to see this for the first time, all these years later!
Shudder is bringing the 1994 Danish thriller Nightwatch and its surprise sequel, Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever, to streaming this week, and we can exclusively reveal a clip from the upcoming sequel that introduces the film’s unsettling new villain.
Look for Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever to arrive on May 17, 2024.
Watch the new clip below, which features a deranged interrogation scene with a copycat killer, Bent (Casper Kjær Jensen). Is Bent just emulating killer Wörmer, or is there something even more sinister happening?
Original cast members Kim Bodnia and Ulf Pilgaard, along with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, reunite and reprise their roles from the 1994 film, which inspired the 1997 U.S. remake starring Ewan McGregor.
About the sequel: “22-year-old medical student Emma (Fanny Leander Bornedal) has just taken a job as the night watch in the same forensic department where her parents were once almost killed by the famed psychopathic police inspector Wörmer. The events led to her mother’s suicide, and her father Martin (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) has turned to tranquilizers to suppress the memories. Determined to investigate what exactly happened to them, Emma tracks down and confronts Wörmer, only to unintentionally reawaken his bloodthirst and ignite a violent revenge on everyone who sealed his destiny years ago.”
The sequel was written/directed by Nightwatch‘s creator, Ole Bornedal.
Producers include Thomas Heinesen, Christel C.D. Karlsen, and Signe Baasch. Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever was executive produced by Katrine Vogelsang, Henrik Zein, Peter Nadermann, and Doris Schrenner.
Catch up with the ’90s cult movie Nightwatch and its sequel, Nightwatch: Demons Are Forever, this week on Shudder.
