Fan-Made Friday the 13th Coffee Table Will Drop Your Jaw

We absolutely love when horror fans put their talents to use and pay tribute to their favorite movies in their own creative ways, and that’s why we’re always happy to share that DIY handiwork here on Dread Central. On tap today is a Jason Voorhees coffee table that is, well, to die for.
This bad boy comes our way courtesy of DIY master RLS FX, who has been creating his own horror props since the age of 10. As the artist explains on his Facebook page, which you can check out by clicking the link you just passed by, it was a childhood trip to Toys R Us that sparked his creativity.
“I can clearly remember wanting an over-priced, very poorly made Freddy Krueger glove from Toys R Us but was too poor to purchase it,” he recalls. “I figured I could do better anyway, so I made a real one just by looking at the scenes from the first movie – the same went for the makeup.”
“I’ve been self-taught in every way. Using only what I had available to me, which I used to call my ‘poor man’s FX tools’,” RLS continues. “Although I now use professional grade materials, I still find that a lot of my makeshift ideas work much better.”
Based on The New Blood, RLS’ Friday the 13th coffee table depicts Voorhees in his watery grave, and all sorts of bells and whistles make it the ultimate conversation piece. The Jason prop housed inside is covered with a glass lid, and LED lighting, as well as audio from the film, really brings it to life.
