Jason Voorhees’ New Threads

This axe is so heavy I'm falling backwards!

This axe is so heavy I'm falling backwards!

Horror audiences have had a trouble relationship with Jason Voorhees. At first, he treated us right — providing chills and thrills. But then he died, had a new beginning, took Manhattan and travelled to hell and space . And we’re supposed to forget all about that and start over with a Michael Bay-production return to Crystal Lake? I don’t think so.

But one look at that hockey-masked face from the photo of the new Jason Voorhees found at Bloody-Disgusting.com brings back all those bloody-warm memories of the old Jason we used to know and love. But Jason’s changed. He’s lost the jumpsuit, hit the major fashion labels and got some brand new designer threads. Sporting a utility belt brandishing his favorite knives, Jason still keeps to his trusty hatchet for most dirty work. While picture presents a Friday the 13th remake that is on the right track, remember that Jason has got himself a new crowd of friends that are responsible for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. Be afraid, very afraid.
