Friday the 13th Complete 12-Movie Blu-ray Set with New Special Features Is Coming Soon?

Friday the 13th Complete 12-Movie Blu-ray Set with New Special Features Is Coming Soon?
NewsColony

A brand new Friday the 13th Blu-ray box set is in the works and looks to be coming our way this summer. Unlike what other options horror fans have out there right now, this is a comprehensive set that will include every single entry in the franchise, in addition to new bonus features being put together specifically for this set. Not only that, but it looks like we will be the first time Jason Goes to Hell in its unrated form will be available on Blu-ray.

While the set hasn’t been formally announced by the studio or a distributor, several of those involved have let the cat out of the bag. First off, Vincent Guastaferro, who played Deputy Rick Cologne in 1986’s Jason Lives, revealed that he has recorded a new commentary track for the movie, which will be part of the box set. Guastaferro had this to say in a post on Facebook.

“Just finished doing the running commentary for the new 12 film box set being released later this summer. Did it with Thom Matthews and we piped CJ Graham in remotely.”

Thom Matthews played Tommy Jarvis in Jason Lives and C.J. Graham was behind the mask as Jason Voorhees in that entry. This on its own might not be enough to confirm the release, but Jason Goes to Hell director Adam Marcus, in responding to a fan inquiry on his Facebook page, confirmed that the box set is indeed coming. Not only that, but he also revealed that the unrated version of his 1993 entry in the franchise will be part of it.

“This will be the first true unrated Blu-ray!!! With new features and awesomeness! It’s gonna rock!!!”

This all makes for a significant development. For one, there are sets available right now, but the readily-available ones aren’t this comprehensive. A more complete Jason Voorhees Blu-ray set was released several years back, but it has since gone out of print and has become rather expensive in the second-hand market. This new box set will, hopefully, make things more affordable. Vincent Guastaferro mentions summer for the release, but there is no word on a specific date just yet, nor is there any indication of what the price point might be.

A release like this comes at the perfect time as well. Currently, the Friday the 13th rights are tied up in an unending, messy lawsuit that has prevented further movies and other new projects from moving forward. With that, it could be a while until we see Jason back on the big screen again. So, for the time being, digging through the franchise in HD with new bonus features could be a great way to pass the time. We’ll be sure to keep you posted as any further details on the box set are made available. This news was previously reported by Bloody Disgusting.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs

Disabled people are still vulnerable, even as COVID-19 normalizes their ‘special’ needs NewsColony Perhaps it’s appropriate that public notices of the COVID-19 crisis began as an ableist cruelty. Health officials assured the nation that only the elderly and those with chronic health conditions would be seriously affected; most Americans (i.e., the normal people) would have only mild symptoms and be fine. x A friendly reminder: people who will be high-risk patients if we get coronavirus can hear you when you reassure everyone we’re the only ones who might die. â€Â” Alexandra Brodsky (@azbrodsky) February 29, 2020 Soon after the announcement of those assurances, the likelihood of high-risk people surviving was further limited by the people more likely to be fine. Shopping frenzies cleared stores of essential supplies needed everyday by many disabled people, like thermometers, hand wipes, masks, and IV infusion supplies. Accustomed to their needs ...
