Exclusive ‘Friday the 13th: The Game’ Concept Art!
When the Kickstarter campaign for Friday the 13th: The Game ended last year with more than $823k raised by 12,218 backers, we were left with a murder of stretch goals that still desperately needed to get unlocked. The game has been slowly creeping toward those remaining stretch goals thanks to a separate Slasher Backer campaign that has raised an additional $57k — or enough to get us three more flavors of Jason.
Gun Media is turning to Lady Democracy with a poll that’s expected to go up this week so the community can determine which of Jason’s many looks will be making it into the game. While we wait for that to come true, here’s a little eye candy protein inspired by Part 7.

We’re about $45k away from a stretch goal that’ll unlock three counselor skins, with unique skill combinations for each, or $70k short of getting a trio of secret kills designed by legendary special make-up effects artist Tom Savini. But first…
Which three versions of Jason would you most like to see in Friday the 13th: The Game?

New Documentaries Explore the Cult Legacies of ‘The Keep’ and ‘Wolfen’; Watch the Trailers Now [Exclusive]
Undersung werewolf gem Wolfen and Michael Mann’s The Keep get the spotlight in a pair of feature documentaries acquired by Antenna Releasing.
A World War II Fairy Tale, which covers the infamous production of and reception to The Keep, will receive a limited theatrical release in October, followed by a TVOD release on Apple/Amazon. The Keep will also screen as a double feature for some showings.
For Uncovering Wolfen, Antenna eyes a limited theatrical release for 2027. Both films are currently available for booking via Antenna prior to their theatrical and digital releases.
Both documentaries are directed by Stewart Buck, who co-helms with Stéphane Piter on A World War II Fairy Tale.
“We at Antenna are obsessed with film history,” said Chief Acquisitions Officer Billy Ray Brewton. “Stewart has done such a remarkable job of really diving into the deepest recesses of how these films were made and, in doing so, has created the definitive histories of both projects.”
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Antenna Releasing!” said director Buck. “It’s refreshing to see a filmmaker-friendly approach to distribution with people who know what it’s like to be in the trenches with independent projects that struggle to find a home in the crowded marketplace.”
Check out our exclusive trailer and poster reveal of both documentaries below.
Released in 1983, Michael Mann’s The Keep was a notorious box office bomb, critically lambasted and all but forgotten for years, save for the fascination with Tangerine Dream’s iconic score. In recent years, the film has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence and is widely considered a cult classic, though director Michael Mann and many cast members refuse to acknowledge it.
Wolfen, on the other hand, was critical success but was overshadowed heavily by its flashier 1981 siblings An American Werewolf in London and The Howling. It’s also a trailblazer for socio-political horror, and the doc will explore that via the craftspeople who made it.
Look for them both in theaters soon. Stay tuned for more as it arrives.
