Kane Hodder Returns As Jason Voorhees!
A lot of you guys are Kane Hodder super fans, and consider him to be the best Jason Voorhees of all time. While he hasn’t donned the makeup in nearly 15 years, with his last appearance being in the 2001 Jason X, it doesn’t mean he can’t rock the mask one last time.
Hodder fans pay attention, cause this is almost as big as when Robert Englund rocked the Freddy Krueger makeup one final time. Hodder will be appearing with FX artist and director John Carl Buechler at Chicago’s upcoming Mad Mobster True Crime & Horror Expo next February. There, Hodder will take photos with fans in his famous Jason Voorhees makeup.
The catch? It’s super expensive, there’s no mention of this being the final time Hodder will do this (I’m expecting him to milk this for all it’s worth), and there’s no charity mentioned. The fact that Englund already did this, as did the cast of Child’s Play, sort of takes the wind out of the sails. Still, this is a pretty awesome opportunity for hardcore Jason/Hodder fans. Frankly, I think I’ll be there. Who wants to miss an opportunity like this?
February Friday the 13th, 2015, Kane Hodder will be donning the full makeup and costume designed by director and original FX designer John Carl Buechler. Fans will get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a photo with one of the biggest horror icons of all time. The photo will be included in the “Friday the 13th with Kane Hodder and John C. Buechler” package on sale this Friday (Halloween), it will be $199. It will include one autograph from Kane and John, an in-makeup photo op with a green screen background (for up to 2 adults) and reserved seating at the Q&A. It does not include admission to the convention which is required (single day Friday is $25, weekend is $50). Tickets for Friday with Kane & John will be extremely limited, there will be a few available at the show for walk-up fans, but if you absolutely do not want to risk missing it, we strongly recommend pre-purchasing it ASAP.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
