Jason Voorhees Lives On in GTAV Thanks to ‘Friday the 13th’ Mod
While we wait on pins and needles (machetes and spearguns?) for Gun Media’s Friday the 13th video game, that doesn’t mean that clever gamers aren’t creating other ways to play the iconic hockey mask killer Jason Voorhees. Case in point, YouTuber Spiderbrian has whipped up a very fun video that uses several mods to turn Grand Theft Auto V into Camp Crystal Lake. You can see the horrific results in the below video, which uses music and audio clips from the original film.
If you’re keen on trying this out for yourself, here’s the mod for Jason, here’s the mod for the forest setting, and here’s the mod for “scene director”. Note that we have no idea how this will affect your game, so you’re installing these at your own risk.
Now, grab these mods, make your own Jason/Friday the 13th scenes, and share them with us in the comments below!
Recent comments from producer Jason Blum suggested that a retool was in order when last year’s The Exorcist: Believer wasn’t as successful as Blumhouse and Universal hoped. That certainly seems to be the case, as Deadline reports tonight that Mike Flanagan is in talks to direct the next Exorcist movie.
Director David Gordon Green was initially on board to direct an entire trilogy of new movies in the franchise, with The Exorcist: Believer intended to be only the first film in that three-film sequel series. Originally set to hit theaters on April 18, 2025, sequel The Exorcist: Deceiver was delayed when Green left the project.
If talks come to fruition, Flanagan will take over, likely steering the franchise in a new direction.
The first film in the trilogy was released theatrically on October 13, 2023, with Leslie Odom Jr. starring alongside a returning Ellen Burstyn from the original classic.
In Believer, “Since the death of his pregnant wife in a Haitian earthquake 12 years ago, Victor Fielding (Leslie Odom, Jr.) has raised their daughter Angela (Lidya Jewett) on his own.
“But when Angela and her friend Katherine (Olivia Marcum) disappear in the woods, only to return three days later with no memory of what happened to them, it unleashes a chain of events that will force Victor to confront the nadir of evil and, in his terror and desperation, seek out the only person alive who has witnessed anything like it before.”
The final moments of The Exorcist: Believer brought Linda Blair’s Regan MacNeil back into the fold, seeming to suggest that the legacy character could return in future installments.
As for Flanagan, the horror filmmaker has Life of Chuck on the way. Flanagan previously helmed Stephen King adaptations Doctor Sleep and Gerald’s Game, and he’s also known for titles including Ouija: Origin of Evil and Oculus, along with the Netflix horror shows The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and The Fall of the House of Usher.
