Part 8 Mask Revisions

After getting my copy of Mario Kirner's F13 prop book, I made some changes to my part 8 mask. It seemed like no matter how much I expanded them, the eye cuts were just never big enough. I think now I finally got them.

Added more scratches as well-- little tiny dings appear across the whole movie mask. It had at least four or five layers of weathering textures that gave it an authentically battle-damaged look, although its hard to see in most photos.

Still have to clear coat this but other than that its basically done. Compare the eye cuts with the movie mask below. Did I get them right?

Voorhees Trailer: Part 2 Drops

"People go crossing into his grounds... they're gone for good."

Sounds about right.

The second "Voorhees" trailer dropped an explosion of gore on Youtube today with less dialogue, tighter shots, and a greater focus on action than the first one. This trailer also just feels more epic. Almost operatic in its grandeur. Watch it and you'll see what I mean.

Cody Faulk's Jason is as vicious as he is imposing so judging by this trailer, fans looking for Hatchet-like levels of blood aren't going to be disappointed by this film.

We are in the midst of a Friday the 13tht fan film golden age and this movie--with its unique genre-bending plot and high kill count--has the potential to be a crowning achievement. Fan films like this make me wish the major studios would stay away from Friday the 13th forever and let indie filmmakers explore the franchise from here on out. The fans have the imagination and the technology. And they even made a (vastly) better video game.

At the very least, maybe Hollywood could start hiring indie filmmakers with good scripts and forgo some of the more absurd adventures they took Jason on.

In any case, I'm really looking forward to this film coming out. I've been in semi-regular touch with the director, so I can say he has some great ideas in store that aren't even hinted at in the trailer that I think fans are going to love. But I won't spoil them for you! Just mark your calendar for Friday, September 13, 2019.
