Part 6 Paintup

 

Haven't painted a part 6 mask in years. I went for hero eye cuts here but the rest of the mask isn't painted specifically to match the hero. Just kind of a general mask using the same techniques as the movie masks, like it had wandered off set. Blank is a second generation recast of a movie mask by Fiberglassmasks.com and it's easily the most accurate part 6 blank out there (aside from the fact that its not an acrylic vac pull). I tried to create the illusion of the clear spots on a vac pull with layers of gray and white paint in some spots.

Couple of Shots of the Part 4 Machete Dummy

I think both of these were screen grabs from the documentary Crystal Lake Memories. Today, though restored somewhat, the dummy is in very poor shape. I'm told that the head has shrunk significantly and most of the foam latex is hard as a rock. Some of the internal mechanics of the head are collapsing as well, so the restoration work involved propping up the machete wound to lengthen the life of the structures inside.

Rare Photo of Ari Lehman as Jason

 

Looks like he's in a state of transition here. Maybe just starting to take his appliances off? It's a freaky shot in any case. Shot sometime during filming in September-November 1979.
