Popverse’s high tales of the day
For a personality who’s so identified by one particular look, Jason Voorhees has truly sported fairly a couple of visible aesthetics via the Friday the thirteenth films. First, he was a drowned kid’s corpse. Then, he was a killer with a burlap sack over his head. It was solely after that that Jason bought the well-known hockey masks type, and even after that, he switched it up once more fro Jason X.
However now, the Friday the thirteenth rights holders have unveiled an all-new, corporate-official search for Jason Voorhees’s future appearances, and regardless that the redesign itself is not fully new, it was dealt with by a legend of horror film results: that’s, Greg NIcotero, senior producers and make-up lead on AMC’s The Walking Dead.

The subsequent Friday the thirteenth challenge is the Linda Cardinelli-starring Crystal Lake from A24 and Peacock, which is ready earlier than Jason’s drowning incident and thus his adoption of his killer hockey masked persona.
Nonetheless, it is comforting to know that, down the road, that is the man ready for us. Although we completely wouldn’t say no to Nicotero taking a crack at a brand new Jason X design…
