NECA Reveals ‘Friday the 13th: The Game’ Figures, Including Part 8 & Part 9 Jason
NECA has unveiled new Jason Voorhees ultimate action figures ahead of this weekend’s Toy Fair in New York.
Dread Central has learned that, in partnership with Jason Universe, NECA is making collectibles based on Friday the 13th: The Game.
They include Part 8 Jason, inspired by Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, and Part 9 Jason, inspired by Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. Prototypes will be on display at Toy Fair.
They’re also showing off the final production figure of the previously announced Savini Jason, designed by special effects legend Tom Savini.
The fiery take on the horror icon will come with an alternate light-up head and a pitchfork, along with other interchangeable parts and accessories. Pre-orders are expected to launch in the near future.
Earlier today, NECA debuted the Pamela Voorhees shrine diorama, also based on Friday the 13th: The Game.
Launched in 2017, Friday the 13th: The Game was an asymmetrical survival horror game developed by IllFonic and published by Gun Media. Updates were eventually halted due to licensing issues, with all online services discontinued at the end of 2024.
Additional Jason figures are in the works at NECA, and we have three Friday the 13ths on the calendar this year, so stay tuned for more.

‘Scary Movie’ Official Popcorn Bucket Is Shaped Like a Retro ’90s Telephone
The official social media accounts for Scary Movie had recently teased a bong-shaped popcorn bucket, but unfortunately it seems that was just a gag. The actual official Scary Movie popcorn bucket has been revealed by Discussing Film this afternoon, and it’s a bit more practical.
The actual Scary Movie popcorn bucket you’ll be able to get in theaters is shaped like an old school phone, as seen in Wes Craven’s Scream as well as the original Scary Movie in 2000.
The Scary Movie Phone Popcorn Bucket glows in the dark, and it’s emblazoned with “WAZZUP!” on the side, a reference to a memorable moment from the 2000 movie.
A phone number has been set up as part of the movie’s marketing campaign this week, allowing you to call Marlon Wayans’ Shorty for a fun spoof of the retro Moviefone experience.
Call Shorty now at: (855) WAZ-ZZUP
Hitting theaters June 5, 2026, Scary Movie has been Rated ‘R’ for “crude sexual content, graphic nudity, strong violence, and drug content and language throughout.”
Marlon Wayans (“Shorty”), Shawn Wayans (“Ray”), Anna Faris (“Cindy”), and Regina Hall (“Brenda”) reunite for the new Scary Movie, with the cast also including Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, Jon Abrahams, Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, and Felissa Rose.
Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer (“Ghostface”), the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe…
Scary Movie will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t. A whole lot has changed in the horror genre since the Wayans Brothers were in charge of the franchise; their involvement ended with Scary Movie 2 back in 2001!
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs Scary Movie 6 from a script written by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
