SADRŽAJ:
BURBANK, CA – He first became known to audiences on May 9, 1980. Over the course of nearly three decades and 11 films (soon to be 12), he has inspired terror in the hearts of film fans the world over. He redefined the concept of immortality and invincibility. He gave horror a new face…by not having one. His name is Jason Voorhees and this is his story.
His Name Was Jason: 30 Years of Friday the 13th, the ultimate tribute documentary about one of horror cinema’s most enduring icons, will be released as a special two-disc “splatter edition” DVD on February 3, 2009. Then, on February 13th, 2009, Encore Action will host the broadcast premiere of the documentary – in celebration of the infamous date and its most famous posterboy. SRP is a less-than-monstrous $19.97. Inside each DVD, fans will also find a “Hollywood Movie Money™” certificate, good towards admission for the 2009 Friday the 13th theatrical remake of the film that started the story and the screams, as well as a limited edition poster of the DVD’s striking cover art.
Executive Produced by Sean S. Cunningham, produced and written by Anthony Masi (Halloween 25 Years of Terror, The Psycho Legacy) and Thommy Hutson (Prank), and directed by Daniel Farrands (screenwriter of The Girl Next Door and Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers), His Name Was Jason is the definitive look at the history and cultural legacy of this 20th Century boogeyman. Extensive interviews were conducted with more than 80 people involved throughout the entire Friday the 13th franchise, as well as filmmaker and fan testimonials.
The documentary is hosted by legendary special effects make-up artist Tom Savini – whose (literally) eye-popping prosthetics were featured in such gorefest classics as 1979’s Dawn of the Dead, Creepshow, Maniac, and the original Friday the 13th and Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter.
