In honor of Jason Voorhees’ long-awaited return to video games in Friday the 13th: The Game, one incredibly talented fan has gone above and beyond with what may very well be the best Jason cosplay I’ve seen so far. Tumblr user strongthematicviolence has created something that looks like it should be gathering dust in a Paramount warehouse, and that’s without the aid of Photoshop.
Slasher fans have turned up in droves to support Friday the 13th: The Game via the #UnleashJason hashtag, though nothing I’ve seen so far has been quite as wonderful as this. Over 10,250 people have backed the game’s Kickstarter campaign, donating a little over $688k to help make it happen. If it can raise another $12k by Friday, we’ll have another horror game to look forward to next fall.
This behind-the-scenes image should give you an idea of the insane amount of detail that went into making this costume. I mean, come on, this is ridiculous.
