Flicks for Fans Hosting 40th Anniversary ‘Friday the 13th’ Screening and Immersive Experience
This coming May will mark the 40th anniversary of Sean Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, the slasher classic that introduced Jason Voorhees, launched a long-running franchise and helped kick-start the gory slasher boom of the early 1980s. But why wait until May to celebrate?
On Friday, March 13th and Saturday, March 14th at the Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills, California, Flicks for Fans is hosting a 40th anniversary screening and immersive experience!
“Friday night will be ‘Camp Crystal Lake Night’ on a double bill with Sleepaway Camp and Saturday night will be ‘Ladies Night’ (though everyone is welcome!) paired with The Final Girls.”
“Other 40th Anniversary extras for both nights include a Friday the 13th inspired Immersive Experience featuring the special effects work of make-up effects maven Brittany Fontaine, graduate of the Tom Savini Special Make-Up Effects Program, a Kevin Bacon “Kill Cabin” Photo Op, Camp Décor, Early Door Prizes and Giveaways and horror themed merchandise for sale in the lobby during the event – it’s going to be two amazing nights to remember.”
Tickets are $27 for each night and can be purchased on the theatre’s website.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
