“Jason and Friends”: Fan-Made Video Imagines Faux ‘Friday the 13th’ Animated Series from the ’80s

What if Friday the 13th, at the height of the franchise’s popularity in the ’80s, had been turned into an animated series for kids? It’s of course an absurd thing to even ponder, and I say that as someone who’s well aware that the similarly rated “R” Rambo franchise actually did become an animated series in the late ’80s. Hey, it was a crazy time. Anything was possible.

Of course, Friday the 13th never became an animated series and surely never will, but at least we can pretend. Artist Mike Chiechi is playing that very game of pretend over on his Facebook page Franks Kid this week, uploading a hilarious and pitch perfectly period-authentic intro video for a faux ’80s animated series titled “Jason and Friends,” a slasher show for kids!

Jason Voorhees stars in the faux “Jason and Friends,” alongside the disembodied head of his deceased mother and even a canine companion who also wears a hockey mask.

Alas, even in animated form, the big guy refuses to play nice…

Face Your Fears in ‘Don’t Be Afraid 2’, Coming to PC and Consoles [Trailer]

Eneida Games and Cat-astrophe Games are following up 2020’s horror adventure title Don’t Be Afraid with the sequel, Don’t Be Afraid 2. The developers have released a new gameplay trailer, delving into the details of the sequel.

Don’t Be Afraid 2 sees you once again in the shoes of David, who is 15 years removed from the events of the first game. For years, David tried to pick up the pieces and deal with the damage the events left on him. Unable to keep a job, find a partner, or even handle simple daily tasks, he leads a pitiful life under the watchful eye of his therapist. Unfortunately, David’s past has caught up to him sooner than he expected, resulting in him now reliving the darkest moments of his life. David must now gather clues about his past and solve puzzles left behind by the deranged murderer toying with his life, trying to find a way out of a mansion where the line between dreams and reality is blurred.

As such, Don’t Be Afraid 2 features two unique endings. Will you escape or succumb to your fears? Can you deal with David’s past or will it break you? You’ll have to struggle your way through the horrors that endure in David’s psyche, navigating a series of sinister escape rooms, and uncover the chilling truth behind the nightmares.

“The original Don’t Be Afraid was much loved by a community, brave horror game fans that accepted the frightening challenge ahead of them,” says Krzysztof Szymański, Narrative Director. “Now, we propose an even scarier, and gut-wrenching experience not for the faint of heart. Will you have what it takes to survive? We can’t wait to see you try!”

Don’t Be Afraid 2 is currently in development for PC via Steam, Playstation 5, Xbox Series and the Nintendo Switch.
