The team behind the Never Hike Alone fan films is back with Ghosts in the Fog, the first ever animated Friday the 13th fan film. And it’s releasing this coming November.
While you wait, slice into the official trailer for Ghosts in the Fog below.
In the new Friday the 13th fan project from Womp Stomp Films, witness Jason Voorhees in haunting 2D animation, brought to life by Mako Animation and Armáss Productions.
Set four years before Never Hike Alone, the story follows a group of hikers who get lost in a mysterious fog and stumble into the cursed grounds where the Ghost of Crystal Lake awaits. Will they escape the wrath of Jason, or become the latest in a long list of lost victims?
The final call fundraiser for the animated film is live on Kickstarter now.
Womp Stomp Films previews the 10-minute fan film, “The film features 2D animation with 3D environments by Mako Animation, presented in black and white with bold splashes of red and yellow—stylistically inspired by Sin City.” The team also teases, “Ghosts in the Fog will feature 3 unique animated kill sequences that push the limits of gore in the Friday the 13th universe—bringing a whole new dimension of terror to the screen!”
“Ghosts in the Fog is the first time Jason Voorhees has ever been featured in an animated story based on Friday the 13th,” says Vincente DiSanti, who co-directed with Juan Rivera.
The original Never Hike Alone fan film launched back in 2017 at a time when the actual Friday the 13th franchise was still mired in a legal mess. It’s one of the most popular horror franchise fan films ever made, subsequently spawning follow-ups from the same team.
This production is an independent effort by Womp Stomp Films, LLC, and its volunteer collaborators. Never Hike Alone is a work of fan fiction. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representative of Viacom/Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros., New Line Cinema, Jason Un1v3rse, Horror Inc., or the Friday the 13th franchise and its characters.
