[Video] Watch EVERY Fatality in ‘Friday the 13th: The Game’!
This video is 30 minutes long. That’s A LOT of murder.
Gun Media and developer Illfonic’s long-awaited Friday the 13th: The Game was finally made available as a digital purchase on Steam, Xbox One and Playstation 4 this past Friday, allowing horror fans the world over to finally be Jason Voorhees and slash up camp counselors in brutally creative fashion. The kills were designed by Tom Savini, and they’re some of the most gruesome in the history of the Friday the 13th franchise.
The folks over on MKIceAndFire just put together a 30-minute video compilation of EVERY kill scene from the game, which plays out like the best Friday the 13th movie ever. It’s all the good stuff and none of that pesky filler – just the way we like it!
Friday the 13th: The Game gives you the opportunity to finally be Jason Voorhees; stalk camp counselors across Crystal Lake as Jason, or assume the role of a helpless camper and attempt to survive the night. Kane Hodder performed the motion capture for Jason, Tom Savini designed the kills, and Harry Manfredini provided the music.

The game’s single-player component is expected in the Summer.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply saddened to learn that George A. Romero Foundation Founder and President Suzanne Desrocher-Romero has passed away.
GARF shared in a statement on socials, “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Suzanne Desrocher Romero. Suzanne passed away of natural causes on June 24 at her home in Toronto after a prolonged illness.”
The statement continues, “Suzanne was the fierce leader of the George A. Romero Estate and The George A. Romero Foundation. She worked tirelessly to preserve George’s legacy. Her work at the foundation will continue to inspire and live on for generations to come. The family asks for privacy at this time.”
Desrocher-Romero founded GARF in 2018, after her late husband’s passing in 2017, and has been a fierce advocate for his legacy and the arts. It was her mission to “strengthen horror as a serious field of global study,” and she was a tremendous fighter on behalf of Romero’s works and supporting new filmmakers inspired by his legacy.
It was Desrocher-Romero who spearheaded the recovery and restoration of The Amusement Park, and, as the person in charge of the George A. Romero estate, worked closely with author Daniel Kraus on completing unfinished novels like Pay the Piper and The Living Dead. She most recently celebrated the restoration of her favorite of Romero’s zombie films, Day of the Dead, and was hard at work producing the upcoming film Twilight of the Dead.
That passionate advocacy led to Suzanne Desrocher-Romero becoming family to Bloody Disgusting as well.
2023 marked the start of an ongoing partnership between Bloody FM and GARF on The Dead, a scripted audio series spanning multiple seasons that saw Desrocher-Romero working closely with the Bloody FM team and mentoring the series’s contributing writers with GARF. To say her loss will be felt internally is an understatement.
“Anytime George Romero is mentioned is good, because what we are doing is to provide a healthy legacy. We’re uplifting his legacy, we’re supporting the archive, and we’re also supporting the Horror Study Center. So, all of these three things are what the Foundation is striving to do. As far as I’m concerned, the more we say George Romero’s name, the better it is,” Desrocher-Romero recently told BD.
It’s the perfect encapsulation of her unwavering enthusiasm for supporting Romero’s legacy and the horror genre, and just a glimpse at how much she contributed to preserving it. She is, in short, an inspiration.
We send our deepest condolences to Suzanne Desrocher-Romero’s family, friends, and GARF.
