LJN’s 1989 film-to-video game adaptation of the Friday the 13th series is a divisive title, to put it mildly. It seems that everyone who played it either loves it, holding onto vestiges of nostalgia, or they hate it with the passion of a thousand burning suns. Me? I’m honestly kinda in the former. Yes, I never beat it and I’m STILL confused as to how the movement relates to the map but there is something idiotically charming about the game. Plus, dat soundstrack tho…

Filmmaker Michael Ramova is raising funds to adapt the game into a movie, which is a weird path when you think about it. First there were movies, which were followed by a game, which is now being turned into a short film. Talk about circular logic! That being said, it’s a loving recreation which will not only include our beloved masked killer but also the zombies that appear throughout the game! No word on if Pamela Voorhees’ floating head will show up…

Anyways, the production actually looks like it’s going to be pretty damn solid and they even got composer Bobby Thompson to do a modern recreation of the game’s score, which I’ll be very interested to hear!
