We’ve entered the final stretch. The fate of Friday the 13th: The Game will be decided in the coming week. About $55k stands between us and a murder-starved Jason Voorhees, and I think I’ve seen enough bank heist movies by now to know that’s not enough paper to keep him from ventilating our abdomens with a machete.
In an effort to motivate us to donate any dollars we might have lingering in our wallets, purses and/or mattresses, Gun Media has introduced a new reward tier that will give backers the opportunity to free their inner psychopaths in a way that doesn’t cause harm to others.
For a cool $5,000, the brand counselor-spanking new Design-a-Kill tier gives wealthy backers the chance to “Become a part of horror history! Collaborate with the Dev team and Tom Savini to refine your Kill idea to make it a reality,” so long as your idea fits within the context of the game.
There’s no mention of what happens when a backer comes up with a dumb idea, but I like to imagine a lone tear sliding down Tom Savini’s face followed by a light beating from Kane Hodder. Oh, and here’s the rest of what’s included:
Work with the Dev Team and Tom to design your kill within the context of the game
Be immortalized again in the in-game Camp Crystal Lake Counselor Database
SIGNED Physical game with Kickstarter Exclusive cover art on either PC, Xbox One, or PS4 (Signed by Sean Cunningham, Tom Savini, Kane Hodder, Harry Mandefrini, Gun Media & Illfonic)

Kickstarter Exclusive in-game Counselor Clothing Packs
Digital Art Book featuring concept art from the game’s creators
Digital Soundtrack (Composed by Harry Manfredini)
Exclusive Beta Access on PC
In-Game credit under “Kill Designers”
Digital Wallpaper Pack 1 & 2
Our eternal gratitude & a heartfelt “Thank You…”
Like everyone who’s dared to fornicate in a Friday the 13th film, there’s no saving those stretch goals. That’s disappointing. I was looking forward to roasting me a sleeping bag s’more over a crackling campfire, but I’ll get over it. What I won’t get over, is if Jason’s return is delayed because of we didn’t back him hard enough. If you want to, you can back him real good on Kickstarter.
