His Name Was Jason

Any huge fan of the Friday the 13th series should already be aware of the excellent documentary His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th. Now that it’s finally hitting DVD in the UK on April 5th courtesy of Stax Entertainment, we have three copies to give away!

It's a bumper crop of DVD releases this week, but the cream is definitely the Friday the 13th blow-out and Ghostbusters on Blu-ray. Even so, there are several other interesting sounding offerings as well, so dive in and do some shopping!

This Tuesday, February 3rd, all sorts of masked antics are coming to DVD, including a fantastic retrospective on the entire history of the Friday the 13th series that features our own Uncle Creepy! Enjoy!

Pinhead, Ghost in a Shell, and Jason Voorhees might not have much in common on paper; but that’s not stopping Anchor Bay from grouping them all up at their booth at the New York Comic Con. The company is taking this opportunity to announce Blu-ray high definition releases of Hellraiser and Ghost in the Shell, as well as offering Q&A opportunities from producer Don Murphy.

Three years ago producer/writer Anthony Masi took on the legacy of Haddonfield’s most infamous resident, Michael Myers, in his documentary Halloween: 25 Years of Terror (review here).

Planning to be in LA or the surrounding area next Friday? If so you ought to take advantage of the opportunity to dig on the stellar His Name Was Jason documentary on the big screen, along with some of the cast and the crew!

With the release of His Name Was Jason right around the corner, what better way to celebrate than to have your DVD signed?!? If you're in the Los Angeles area, Dark Delicacies is putting on a signing that you just cannot afford to miss!

We just got our virutal hands on the final, official, this ain’t gonna change before release date artwork for Anchor Bay’s upcoming release of His Name Was Jason. Ain’t it pretty?

We’ve been talking about His Name Was Jason, the upcoming documentary about all things Voorhees, since the project was first announced so it's pretty cool to finally be able to point you to Amazon, where the 2-disc Splatter Edition is now up for pre-order; the DVD hits on February 3rd, 2009!

What I never understood about '80s pop culture was the focus on Freddy Krueger. Don't get me wrong; I love Nightmare, but there's just something really wrong about having footy pajamas featuring a child killer on them. In comparison, I don't think Jason Voorhees got the same kind of over-exposure he deserved. Until now...

The highly anticipated documentary about all things Jason Voorhees, His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th, is finally all cut and ready to roll out for fans! We got a heads up today that the documentary will be premiering at the upcoming 2008 Starz Denver Film Festival as part of the festival’s celebration of soon-to-be classics, The Watching Hour.
