Overview
In 1993, New Line released their first entry into the Friday the 13th franchise after purchasing the character Jason Voorhees from Paramount. In a historic and unorthodox move, the studio decided to allow 23 year old first-time director Adam Marcus to helm the film. What followed was the most controversial installment in the horror genre's biggest franchise, and fans were wildly divided in their response and remain so a quarter century later. This is the story of that film.

Few horror characters have continued to haunt the big screen like this hockey-masked killer.   His name alone incites fear.  He has died (a lot), come back (a lot), fought a psychic girl, taken Manhattan, been to space, fought Freddy, and been rebooted (and rebooted.. and rebooted!). Though he has been solidified as a  horror icon for nearly forty years, none of his films have been more controversial than Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday.

Twenty five years later, we want to shed some light on this incredibly polarizing installment.  Love it or hate it, we are setting out to get some answers for YOU, the fans! Why were some of those creative choices made?  Why was Jason a non-character in his own franchise film? Why on earth would a huge studio like New Line Cinema choose to put this legendary, blockbuster horror fan-favorite in the hands of a 23-year old Writer/Director Adam Marcus, who had NEVER written or directed a studio film in his young career?!

Well fans, you are in for a fun ride!  We've brought together an awesome team with much of the original cast and crew from the film, including Writer/Director Adam Marcus!  We (the team) aim to give fans and haters alike some raw insight into this controversial installment, as well as offer YOU the opportunity to ask your most burning questions to the cast and crew of Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday! 

Did you absolutely LOVE the film? Thought it was a super creative and unique addition to the franchise? Great! We are going to deliver some fantastic behind-the-scenes info on a film that you hold dear to your horror-fan heart!

Absolutely HATE it? Thought it was the epitome of cinematic garbage? Great! Consider our So Many Questions perk and ask Adam Marcus ANYTHING. YOU. WANT. (!!) 

Either way, we are ripping off the mask and hoping to offer a fresh perspective, some fan feedback, and a closer understanding of this iconic film and how it came to be. 

PLUS a few surprise fan-favorite cast members to be revealed along the way in our behind the scenes updates!

 

  • We are looking for $50,000 in funding to make this film a reality. These funds will go towards filming the many amazing cast and crew interviews we have set up as well as our post production which will deliver a must-have documentary for fans of the franchise!

  • To help get our film funded, we are offering a slew (13, to be exact!) of AMAZING perks! Not only are we offering behind-the-scenes updates, DVD's, Blu Ray's, signed posters, ball caps and T-Shirts, but we have limited edition props, exclusively handmade hockey masks created just for you from one of the industry's leading SFX designers, producer credits and exclusive invitations to the film's premiere
  • Our biggest perk: YOU get the chance to be IN the movie!  That's right, you'll have the exclusive opportunity to ask your most burning questions directly to the cast/crew ON CAMERA!
  • If we don't reach our goal the first time around, the funds will go towards beginning production as we work to continue to raise the remaining funds.

**Note: We have SO many perks, we didn't even have the space to list everything in each perk section.  Just know that each level of generosity adds a fresh perk to the packages that come before, so be sure to check out all of our packages!
