"This is between me and Jason. Come on, maggot-head!" For nearly every slasher villain, there is a protagonist looking to stop them. Freddy Krueger had Nancy, Michael Myers had Laurie Strode, and Jason Voorhees had Tommy Jarvis, who is brought to life in a new reveal video featuring Jason Lives actor Thom Mathews reprising his beloved role in Friday the 13th: The Game.
Back in October, Gun Media and IllFonic postponed the release of Friday the 13th: The Game to 2017, but the longer wait means more goodies for gamers, including the playable Tommy Jarvis character in the teaser video (initially revealed by Rely on Horror) that you can watch below. A new single player experience is also being developed, and you can read the full press release for full details.

The slate of media getting dumped onto Hulu’s streaming service in December contains some dark gifts. To help horror fans gird their dirty loins for the upcoming Friday The 13th reboot, the entire franchise (or at least the films that actually have “Friday The 13th” in the title) is arriving on December 1. That covers everything from the original 1980 film to 1989’s Friday The 13th Part VIII: Manhattan. Not to be missed is 1986’s Jason Lives, Tom McLoughlin’s laugh-out-loud meta take on the franchise.
Keeping with the theme, piece-of-shit Rob Zombie’s Devil’s Rejects and House of 1,000 Corpses are arriving at the same time, as well as David Cronenberg’s early sex-slug body horror Shivers (a.k.a. They Came From Within). Less genre but equally dark fare is also arriving to mirror the zeitgeist, from Silence Of The Lambs to No ...

“Ki...Ki...Ki...Ma...Ma...Ma...”
That familiar musical sting as a silent predator stalks the woods can only mean one thing: It’s time to head on back to Camp Crystal Lake with everyone’s favorite murdering behemoth, Jason Voorhees. On this day in 1986, the sixth installment of the Friday The 13th franchise burst forth from its coffin and murdered the competition (though didn’t take the number one spot). Jason Lives: Friday The 13th, Part VI is a highlight of the slasher series, with many connoisseurs of the blood-drenched films ranking it very close to the top. After the Jason-less exploits of Part V: A New Beginning proved lackluster to fans, the studio mandated that Jason return and he does so in a big way with a body count of 18 victims.

The horror genre had quite the year in 1986. Jason Voorhees climbed out of his coffin, scientist Seth Brundle tinkered with teleportation, two Tobe Hooper films were released in theaters, and Stephen King's directorial debut burned rubber on the big screen. In our new, free issue of Deadly Magazine, we revisit some of the genre's most memorable movies from that magical mid-’80s year with the people that helped make them. Welcome to the 30-year reunion for the Class of 1986.
Within the pages of this Deadly Magazine issue, you'll find retrospectives and interviews that shine spotlights on some of the most celebrated, and in some cases, underrated, films from 1986.
Scott Weinberg's interview with Barbara Crampton offers an intriguing look at the making of Stuart Gordon's other H.P. Lovecraft adaptation, From Beyond. Scott Drebit enrolls at Slaughter High to give his grade on the school-set slasher. Joseph Maddrey sits...

World War Z. Jurassic Park III. Seven. The Lion King. How were these and others originally planned to end?
The path from screenplay page to cinema screen is seldom a straight one, and it's frequently the case that a movie can change quite a lot during the process of production. Now and again, though, history throws out examples of movies that could have ended very differently.
For numerous reasons, the films featured here were all rewritten or reworked before they arrived in cinemas. Some endings were changed due to budget constraints. Others were down to the concerns of studio bosses.
In this selection, we've gone for endings that were written or storyboarded, but never shot in their entirety - last year, Nick brought us an exhaustive tour through 50 alternate endings, many of which were actually put before a camera.
With this in mind,...
