‘Friday the 13th: The Game’ Teases More to Come at E3

Published

Pamela Voorhees can be a real jerk sometimes. Jason had such potential. He’s an impossibly strong psychopath who’s skilled at what you might call prison combat, with a deep-rooted enthusiasm for the underrated game of Opossum, a unique appreciation for human biology, and perhaps most importantly, the dude MacGyver’d a now iconic look out of little more than a worn jacket and hockey mask. He’s a freakishly resourceful and tenacious tastemaker who lets his actions speak more loudly than words, and he’s squandered it all on his mom, because she died, or whatever.

And sure, you could bring up how he’s murdered 146 people, to which I’d argue, is any of us perfect? He’d probably apologize if his mouth hadn’t been forever ruined by a bunch of horny ne’er-do-wells. Jason is a most tragic character, the horror genre equivalent of MacBeth. This is why I’m looking forward to getting my hands on Friday the 13th: The Game later this year, because there are teenaged abdomens that need ventilating, and Mr. JV is the right guy for the job.

Gun Media has confirmed the game will be at E3, starting with a world premier this Sunday at 8:45pm PST, on the Twitch.tv E3 Showcase. If you’d like to see more features be added to Friday the 13th: The Game, you can help make that happen by supporting the game’s ongoing Slasher Backer crowdfunding campaign.

AreYouWatching.com: ‘The Watchers’ Interactive Website Is Full of Creepy Easter Eggs

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
