How we love Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part 6, the one with the kick-ass Alice Cooper soundtrack! The film’s director, Tom McLoughlin, is also an accomplished author and will be the featured guest at Larry Edmunds Bookshop signing copies of his A Strange Idea of Entertainment. Cool!

McLoughlin will be the featured guest, along with the book’s co-writer, Joseph Maddrey, and rumor has it that a certain undead resident of Crystal Lake may make an appearance as well. The book signing will be held at Larry Edmunds Bookshop, 6644 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA on July 30 at 7:30 p.m.

Check out Larry Edmunds Bookshop for any updated information.

About Tom McLoughlin
Tom McLoughlin’s reel life began in 1957 at the age of seven, making 8mm movies in the back lots of MGM Studios. He was a magician during the 50s, a rock musician in the 60s (opening for groups like The Doors), a mime in the 70s (studying in Paris with Marcel Marceau), and a writer (Emmy nominated for his work with Dick Van Dyke and company). In the 1980s, Tom fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming a filmmaker. He has directed more than 40 feature film and television projects, including One Dark Night (retrospective here), Friday the 13th: Jason Lives, and the Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated miniseries “In a Child’s Name.” Today he continues to pursue his eclectic passions, touring worldwide as the lead singer of the rock band The Sloths while preparing for postmortem appearances at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. This is the behind-the-scenes story of the strange business of creative obsession…. and one man’s strange idea of entertainment.
