We know you want a new movie, but this is cool too!
It’s becoming increasingly common for horror actors to attend conventions and pose for photos as their iconic characters, which offers fans pretty awesome opportunities to essentially come face-to-face with their favorite big screen villains. Pretty much every fan has by this point in time already met Robert Englund, but Englund as Freddy? Well that’s a whole new experience.
If you’re a fan of the Friday the 13th franchise, you’ll be happy to hear that both C.J. Graham (Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives) and Kane Hodder (too many to list) will be playing Jason Voorhees at upcoming conventions in the early part of this year. First up, Graham will be taking part in an in-costume photo-op as Part 6 Jason at next month’s Days Of The Dead in Atlanta, Georgia. The opportunity will be available to attendees on Saturday, February 4th only.
Graham will be fully decked out in, as the convention’s site describes, “a professionally crafted, studio quality outfit designed using parts from the screen used original.”
As for Kane Hodder, he’ll be posing for photos as The New Blood‘s incarnation of Jason Voorhees at Mad Monster Party in Rock Hill, South Carolina on Friday, March 24th. Hodder did the same thing back in 2015, and once again, legendary makeup effects artist/The New Blood director John Carl Buechler will be personally applying the screen-accurate costume on the hulking icon.
Don’t miss these rare and totally awesome opportunities.
