‘Friday the 13th: The Game’ Virtual Cabin Opens Up The Conservatory
The makers of ‘Friday the 13th: The Game‘ have consistently rolled out updates for the standalone Virtual Cabin – a PC-exclusive which you can purchase for $15. The latest update opens up the door to The Conservatory, the cabin’s first outdoor section. Fans of the game can walk through a campsite that’s full of easter eggs including a beat-up car, a throwback to ‘Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives’ and something very special in the outhouse.
“We’ve unlocked the Conservatory!” the developers explain in a post on the game’s Steam page. “You can now check out props and assets outside of the virtual cabin and get a peek at some of the content you’ll be seeing in-game! The space is rather large, so be sure to find all of the little hidden things we’ve added!”
If you want to see the new area and some of its secrets, look no further than my latest virtual tour video. Keep checking back to the playlist because I make a video after every update.
Friday the 13th: The Game is slated to release this October for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
