Double XP weekend begins TODAY.

Not only did Gun Media and Illfonic add the purple and blue “retro Jason” as a playable character in Friday the 13th: The Game this week (8-bit Jason can be found as an alternate skin for Part 3 Jason), but they also cranked the retro aesthetic up to eleven with a special theme song that plays exclusively when NES Jason is the chosen Jason during any given match.

The retro-style theme is titled ‘Return to Camp Blood,’ and Mitch Murder is the man responsible for the track. The short chip tune, made specifically for the game’s newest Jason, pays tribute to the 1989 NES game that the skin was of course inspired by.

You can listen to the full track below, as well as watch a badass “music video” for it!

The free update went live on PS4, XBox One and Steam earlier this week, and it also includes TWO new outfits for each counselor, 13,000 free Customization Points to spend (just added to all accounts today), and a Double XP weekend that runs through the 25th.

“He Walks By Night” – Listen to a Brand New John Carpenter Song NOW!

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.

Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.

Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.

“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.

“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
