Tom Savini Finally Releases Secret BTS Video

Courtesy of Jo Nobile, here are some great screen grabs from a VHS video that was recorded while Ted White was in the makeup chair for Part 4. As featured in the new Tom Savini documentary on Chiller.

These are the clearest frames from this video I've ever seen, and some of the best surviving images of the original makeup. You can just make out the pink and blue tones used to create the illusion of depth and translusence as well as some of the mottling and spotting detailing the skin. Nice paint work by Kevin Yagher.

"Voorhees" Final Indiegogo Campaign is Live

The second and final phase of the Voorhees campaign is underway. You can see the new teaser, along with the perks being offered to funders by following this link.

I contributed $30 because I absolutely NEED that t-shirt with the mask and the house. Among other things, they're offering DVD and Blue Ray discs and posters and even the full film script.

Teaser is really short, concise, and tightly edited. Score is also NICE. Check it out.

This will get Cody and team through the (very expensive) post-production process, including paying the composer and sound engineer to do the final mix. This is a vital part of the process to make the film feel more Hollywood-level and less like a bunch of kids running around with cameras.

No word yet on when the final cut is expected to go live, but you never want to rush a great product.

Having seen a tiny sliver of the footage, I can say it really looks interesting. There are some great battles and FX shots and with some of it I was thinking "how the hell did they do this without a budget?"

I think this film might stand as a great example of what you can achieve without big bucks... like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre or the Blair Witch Project. You can tell a story with tensions, lighting, good camerawork and a great score without all the extras. Drone shots don't hurt either.

After the film has been released, keep an eye on this blog for some additional behind-the-scenes stories, photos and video of the four days I spent on set in 2018 and 2019. I have some photos I've been DYING to release but I'm going to wait until most fans have seen the film at some point next year.

Happy Friday the 13th!

Here's an ultra-rare piece owned by Billy Kirkus, made from the screen-worn appliances from Friday the 13th part 2: The Horror Sanctum Studios "Inbred." This thing is 38 years old and still in pretty good shape, with only a bit of dry rot around the neck.

"Voorhees" Indigogo Round 2 Launching Tomorrow

New teaser being launched tomorrow for the second round of the Voorhees campaign. This second round is going to pay for all the finishing touches on what should be a very remarkable film.
