Friday the 13th - Tommy Jarvis Triple Feature!

This past Friday the 13th the Silent Movie Theater on Fairfax in Hollywood had a 'Tommy Jarvis Triple Feature".  A special showing of "Friday the 13th" parts 4, 5 and 6!

Fans lined up down the block. 

The event was sold out, I barely got in. I always underestimate how many fans turn out for these things. There are so many "Friday" fans, they could sway a Presidential election. Too bad most of them would just vote for more "Friday the 13th!"

Director Tom Mcloughlin and composer Harry Manfredini head in.

Friday the 13th and horror movies in general have such a wide array of fans, the line was full of the stereotypical Horror fans, movie execs, girls, gay guys, and cool dudes like myself.  It always surprises me on how diverse the fan base is.

Some of the great fans in line. 

One of the coolest parts of the night was when they started playing "Part 6". During the opening credits a full on authentic Jason came out and walked around the crowd. It was fucking rad. I did not see that coming!

opening credits of part 6. 

This guy walked right by me, I was Starstruck!

This motherfucker looked exactly like Jason in part 6,
he nailed it!

After the film, the cast members got on stage for a kick ass Q & A.  The only question I could ask is "How do you guys rule so much?"

After the Q & A, the director told us about a special surprise, he had brought along the original casket of Jason, and it was in the back, ready for us to see!   I dropped everything and was the first one in it!

He brought it out for the first time in about 30 years. 

I had the honor of being stuffed inside it. 

We had a cool "Friday the 13th" party in the back of the theater, I spotted these cupcakes and asked "Hey, are these free for anyone?" and the lady gave me the green light!

The Jason cupcakes tasted great. For real!
I'm not just saying that because I'm a lunatic. 

All of the cast was hanging out, taking pictures, talking with the fans, so I took a few pics and hung out.  I remember thinking in my head, "It does not get better than this."

Vincent Guastaferro aka "Deputy Cologne" talks to the fans. 

Director Tom McLoughlin mingled, and was promoting his new book about his career.

If you notice in the picture below I have my favorite t-shirt on featuring Camp Crystal Lake.
