[Video] Happy Friday the 13th From Bloody-Disgusting!
What interesting timing for Friday the 13th to hit, dead smack in the meat of the ongoing San Diego Comic-Con. While this looks cool from the outside, our work is going to be cut out for us. Today is going to be jam-packed with horror content from interviews to all sorts of reveals from this years hottest genre films.
But before Comic-Con consumes us all, let us all take a second to celebrate our holiday. As Rebecca Black would sing, “Partying, partying – yeah – fun, fun, fun, fun.” Damn straight.
Being that Friday the 13th typically hits twice a year, it’s hard to come up with some fresh-old content to share. This morning I’ve scoured the web and delivered a hilarious clip featuring Jason Voorhees in a tribute to Benny Hill, a short from “Adult Swim” that takes you inside Jason’s home and an interview with Jason on “Family Guy”. Also, we’ve got a look at Jason’s appearance on the “Arsenio Hall Show” promoting Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, game play footage from the classic NES game, and Alice Cooper’s incredible “He’s Back (The Man Behind the Mask)” music video.
End the week right. Let Rebecca sing you off into the sunset.

‘The Exorcism’ Trailer – Russell Crowe Gets Possessed in Meta Horror Movie from Producer Kevin Williamson
Russell Crowe (The Pope’s Exorcist) is starring in a brand new meta possession horror movie titled The Exorcism, and Vertical has unleashed the official trailer this afternoon.
Vertical has picked up the North American rights to The Exorcism, which they’ll be bringing to theaters on June 7. Shudder is also on board to bring the film home later this year.
Joshua John Miller, who wrote 2015’s The Final Girls and also starred in films including Near Dark and And You Thought Your Parents Were Weird, directed The Exorcism.
Joshua John Miller also wrote the script with M.A. Fortin (The Final Girls). This one is personal for Miller, as his late father was the star of the best possession movie ever made.
Miller said in a statement this week, “The origins of the film stem from my childhood spent watching my father, Jason Miller, playing the doomed Father Karras flinging himself out a window at the climax of The Exorcist. If that wasn’t haunting enough on its own, my dad never shied away from telling me stories of just how “cursed” the movie was: the mysterious fires that plagued the production, the strange deaths, the lifelong injuries— the list went on and on. The lore of any “cursed film” has captivated me ever since.”
“With The Exorcism, we wanted to update the possession movie formula (“Heroic man rescues woman from forces she’s too weak and simple to battle herself!”) for a world where no one group owns goodness and decency over another,” he adds. “We were gifted with an extraordinary cast and creative team to tell a story about how we’re all vulnerable to darkness, to perpetuating it, if we fail to face our demons. The devil may retaliate, but what other choice do we have?”
The film had previously been announced under the title The Georgetown Project.
“The Exorcism follows Anthony Miller (Crowe), a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter (Ryan Simpkins) wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play.”
Sam Worthington (Avatar: The Way of Water), Chloe Bailey (Praise This), Adam Goldberg (The Equalizer) and David Hyde Pierce (Frasier) also star.
Of particular note, Kevin Williamson (Scream, Sick) produced The Exorcism.
