When someone mentions the phrase “horror movies” certain films come to mind.  Typically one thinks of the Universal classics, The Exorcist, the Nightmare on Elm St series and lastly the Friday the 13th series.  I enjoy all those films but I really have a soft spot for the last two.  As popular as the Friday the 13th series is a large following of the films really hate the remake and the proposed sequels and they have demanded that they see Jason go back to his rootes.

That brings me to Friday the 13th: The Curse of Jason.  You will not see this officially plastered in theaters and Wal-Mart because this film is an upcoming fan film directed by Ohio based director Jack Norman.  He, too, is sick of remakes and wishes to make a fan film taking Jason back to the way fans remember.  To do so he is turning to crowdfunding giant Indiegogo where those that contribute will receive some great perks.

The IGG page had this to say about the film:

“My Name is Jack Norman, I am from Cincinnati, Ohio (where the series will be Filmed).  I am the Writer And Director of this mini fan series that pays Homage to The original Friday the 13th series. I want to bring new things to the series as well as pay homage to original ideas and looks in the series. I have done research from the fans in what they want to see. I have brought together a team that consists of fans of the series and most have experience in the roles that they have on the crew! We already have some awesome filming locations and some amazing filming equipment. I promise to stay true to the series. If we can get the funding we need I promise you guys will get the traditional Jason that all the fans want to see! Its important we get the funding to get the special Fx supplies and costume/wardrobe accessories we need to make accurate looking Costumes and great effects! We already have two great special effects artist on board! Funding will also go to food and snacks/water for the cast and crew as well as any extra equipment we might need. Or even for securing certain locations such as cabins or land we need to Film on.  We want to focus on Jasons Look and the effects on screen!  We are also lucky to have Studio 605 to be a part of this film as well.

Some of the things you will see in the series is Jason in his Part two Hood costume, Jason in a winter setting.  Water and land kills.  Bloody gorey effects!  Two different Hockey Masks and Much much more!

I have been a horror fan since I can remember. I am a huge fan of the Friday the 13th series and while researching and writing  this project I spent every night watching at least one movie in the series to pick out certain things from each movie and to find thing the series didn’t have. Our crew has been part of several different Indie Horror movies and each person brings a different perk to the table.

There is several different perks available such as Be killed by the legend (Jason) which we will give you your own unique death scene in a camp party in the series. You can also be a producer or associate producer which will both get IMDB credits. You can also get a special thanks on Facebook and IMDB. As well as get posters or copies of the film as well as early viewing of the series or sneak peaks as the series is completed.”

Those that would like to contribute to what should be an amazing fan film to one of the greatest slasher series of all time can do so by going to IGG here.  After contributing please head on over to the Facebook page for the film here and always support indie horror!
