[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.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
