Updated with more accurate info provided by Prop Store, who originally described this as “screen-used” to Bloody.
Before Jason Voorhees went head-to-head with Freddy Krueger, he was dragged down to hell in the final moments of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday.
Jason had taken quite the beating by the ninth film in the Friday the 13th franchise, with his iconic hockey mask showing serious signs of wear.
One lucky horror fan is going to outbid the rest and score themselves an extremely cool collectible that will make every Friday the 13th fanatic jealous.
Prop Store is set to hold one of the world’s largest live auctions of film and TV memorabilia in Los Angeles, with over 1,200 rare and iconic lots to be sold during the three days event (June 29-July 1).
One of the highlights is a screen-used screen-matched Jason Voorhees mask from Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday signed by none other than Kane Hodder!
Here’s the description provided by Prop Store:
“A screen-matched Jason Voorhees hockey mask signed by Kane Hodder from Adam Marcus’ horror sequel Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. Jason’s (Hodder) spirit passed his signature mask from body to body before he was dragged to hell by Freddy Krueger (Hodder). This exact mask screen-matches to the scene in which a SWAT team ambushes and blows up Jason.
This version of the iconic Voorhees mask was designed by effects supervisor Howard Berger and manufactured by K.N.B. Effects Group to appear battle-scarred, burnt, water-damaged, and fused to the face of the latest wearer. As such, the mask is extensively aged with grime, scratches, and chips made throughout by production.
It is constructed of molded polyurethane painted white, gray, and brown with “To Tom, You’re Next, “Jason”” signed in black marker by Hodder above a red triangle emblem. Three brown leather straps are screwed into the top and sides. Though intentionally distressed, the mask remains in good overall condition.
This lot comes from the collection of renowned special effects artist Tom “Brooklyn” Bellissimo. A letter of authenticity from Bellissimo is included.”
They expect the bidding to reach $20,000… hopefully you sold all your crypto last week.
