The life and career of Kane Hodder will be examined in great detail in upcoming documentary To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story, which we cannot wait to check out. In fact, we’re so excited to see it that we asked Masterfully Macabre Entertainment if we could debut a sneak peek clip for you guys this week. Thankfully, they obliged!
In this short clip, Hodder talks about taking over the role of Jason Voorhees at a time when the franchise was six films deep. Hodder is of course looked back on today as being THE definitive Jason, but it’s interesting to remember that he came aboard when the character was already hugely popular. A true testament to what he brought to the table, to say the least.
Check out the exclusive clip below, along with the doc’s teaser!
The in-depth documentary includes interviews with Kane Hodder, Bruce Campbell, Bill Moseley, Cassandra Peterson, Sid Haig and Danielle Harris, to name just a few.
To Hell and Back is a harrowing story of a stuntman overcoming a dehumanizing childhood filled with torment and bullying in Sparks, Nevada. After surviving a near-death burn accident, he worked his way up through Hollywood, leading to his ultimate rise as Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th series and making countless moviegoers forever terrified of hockey masks and summer camp.
After decades of watching Kane Hodder on screen, get ready to meet the man behind the mask in To Hell and Back – a uniquely human story about one of cinema’s most vicious monsters.
Masterfully Macabre Entertainment will present both domestic and international premieres and bring the highly anticipated doc to audiences around the world.
