NEW Coffin Dummy Available!

Billy has done it again--offering a new mold of his coffin dummy, this time in fiberglass resin. These things are huge, exactly sized to his original pull (unlike the very shrunk HSS castings) and boast razor sharp detail.

For the uninitiated, these copies are cast directly from a movie mold dummy bust--the very one that was sculpted for production of Friday the 13th Part 6 and used in the opening sequence.

Scream Factory Box Set to Feature LOST FOOTAGE

Oh my God. Carl Fullerton apparently had a VHS tape dated April 24, 1981 (before the movie even came out) with all the un-cut deaths from part 2 and its being RELEASED WITH THE BOX SET. I just found this out yesterday. Apparently the footage has survived in pretty high quality, although I don't doubt they touched it up digitally. Alice apparently had a longer death than the split second we see an ice pick rammed into her temple, and of course we know from stills that the double-impaling was considerably more gruesome.

Now if someone can just find a better copy of that part 7 footage.

Pre-order the box set here.

'Voorhees' Release Date Confirmed

We won't be getting 'Halloween Kills' this year, but slasher fans will have something else to look forward to: Jason Voorhees is coming back on Halloween night 2020, and he's going to be ripping through a group of criminals and their unfortunate captives.

This film has been a long time coming, having been launched back in early 2017, and fortunately was 99% finished when coronavirus struck, delaying some voice recording a few months. Recording is now completed, and the movie is basically ready for release. I was on set in Virginia for a few night shots back in October 2018 and July 2019 and was impressed by the creepy atmosphere and pretty intense brutality of the shoot. I won't spoil it, but after the film receives broad release, I'll go into some more "behind the scenes" detail on this blog with a few photos and one gory-ass video.

While the film has been delayed a couple times from its original release date, it was the right thing to do. We saw what happens when a fan film is rushed to release when 'Vengeance' came out before it was done and had to be re-cut and re-released. Director Cody Faulk is going for perfection here, so I'm eager to see what he comes up with.

Check out the trailer. It gets straight to the point: we want to see Jason. Here he is!

Original Movie Mold Jason Hands For Sale

Take a look at the photos below. The pair of brown hands at left are the last surviving pair of original latex hands made for the production of Friday the 13th Part 7. I recently purchased them from Brad Hardin, who obtained them from the late John Carl Buechler many years ago. No one else has both hands from the film, though Mario Kirner does have a single hand that was painted and used during production.

The pair of black hands on the right are a perfect replica molded straight off these hands. Cast in a lightweight resin, they are exactly the same size and perfectly capture every detail of the hands at left. My business partner recently did a small run of these for our friends and fellow collectors.

Here's the good news: out of a run of twenty, there are five pair still available. If you want one of these last five pair, contact Marcos Medina on Facebook, or look him up on Yourprops (user: Barcode500). I expect they're going to go fast, so don't wait too long!

If you want to buy the original latex hands, leave a comment with your email address here or contact me on Facebook.

Here's some extra shots of the movie hands for reference.

Ted White with a Bloody Ending II

Photo by Marcos Medina. You can see the bust is very large, and looks to be correctly sized to Ted's features. Really proud of that resize.

Super Rare Roy Burns Dummy Photos

That's one lucky kid. Some rare shots recetly unearthed showing a young man on the set of Friday the 13th Part 5 back in 1985 with the Roy Burns dummy and the best shots ever of the tractor harrow he falls on at the end.

Worthy of note: this rare clear shot of the full cowl from part 5 shows that it is super close to a part 4 cowl, as compared with a 3D print of the original part 4 cowl sculpt seen here. 

It isn't entirely clear what happened to this cowl, which may be the same one worn throughout the film. It could be the one underneath the part 4 screen used mask, currently with a private collector. It could also be the one sitting in the Hollywood Museum with a mask used briefly in part 5. This cowl, though certainly an original part 4 pull and likely painted for screen use, has just some light bruising painted around the axe cut, rather than profuse blood flow, similar to the part 5 cowl. Suggestive, but hard to say.

Update: Crash posted a photo of a sculpt by Louis Lazzara that was evidently used for production of Friday the 13th Part 5. You can see that it is extremely close to the part 4 version, although the ears are somewhat differently shaped. So apparently its not the same, just a very similar sculpt. He may have had access to the part 4 to use as a model. Really interesting.

SSN New Blood Master Mold #3

Updated the paint job on this thing. I like it even more now. Think I should (lightly) perma-wet the whole thing or no? The movie appliances look like they may have had a light gloss on them, although it may not have been uniform.

Another old MMI Part 7 Jason Dummy

Just a quick video of the late John Carl Buechler with Kane Hodder in the MMI shop a few years ago. We briefly get a close up of a part 7 Jason mannequin in the background, showing a really nice paint job in the face. Hard to tell if the cranium is movie mold (the original cranium mold having been lost many years ago), but seems likely to be.

This Jason piece was sold to a collector a while back. Here's a few more shots of it.
