Jason Claims His First Victim in New ‘Friday the 13th: The Game’ Footage
The very first gameplay footage from this fall’s camp counselor stab ’em up is finally here, and despite coming in at a woefully brief 15 second running-time, it’s just long enough for Jason to claim his first victim: a door. Such a fine, sturdy door hardly deserves to get cut down with such brutal efficiency, reduced to a sad pile of splinters and bits of metal.
I know Jason has a condition, so I won’t bother chastising him for the missed opportunity to reference The Shining. I’ve watched this video a half dozen times, maybe more, and the empty space that should’ve been filled by an emphatic “Here’s Johnny!” stings every time.
I’ll get over it before Friday the 13th: The Game arrives in October for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
It pains me to leave you with such a paltry tease. And while I can’t offer anything as fulfilling as gameplay, we do have some behind-the-scenes footage from a recent mo-cap shoot, and there’s nothing wrong with repeat viewings of that awesome reveal trailer from last October.

The Monkey is a short horror story that appeared in Skeleton Crew, a 1985 collection that also featured The Mist, The Jaunt, The Raft, Survivor Type, The Reach, and more.

“In The Monkey, when twin brothers Hal and Bill discover their father’s old monkey toy in the attic, a series of gruesome deaths starts occurring all around them. The brothers decide to throw the monkey away and move on with their lives, growing apart over the years.
