🔥 The Iconic Slasher Stalks Back
After 10 long years of silence at Camp Crystal Lake, Jason Voorhees is sharpening his machete again. Horror, Inc. has announced Sweet Revenge, a chilling new short film marking the legendary killer’s return—directed by Mike P. Nelson (V/H/S/85, Wrong Turn reboot).
🎬 What We Know:
- Premiere Platform: Jason Universe YouTube channel + Angry Orchard Hard Cider’s site
- Director: Mike P. Nelson (praised for his visceral work in V/H/S/85’s “No Wake/Ambrosia”)
- Purpose: Celebrates 45 years of Friday the 13th (1980)
- Tone: A brutal, woods-set return to Jason’s roots
📅 Release Date: Still TBA (But expect it before Halloween 2025)
⚔️ Why This Matters:
- First new Jason story since the 2009 reboot ($92M box office hit)
- No Wake/Ambrosia proved Nelson’s chops—claustrophobic, relentless, and bloody
- Fan hunger is REAL—the last Friday legal battles stalled the franchise for years
🍿 Jason’s Legacy:
- 1980: Sean S. Cunningham’s original shocks the world (despite Jason technically not being the killer yet)
- 1981-1986: Part 2 through Jason Lives cement him as the king of ’80s slashers
- 2009: Platinum Dunes’ reboot introduces a new generation to Crystal Lake
💀 What’s Next?
If Sweet Revenge kills it (pun intended), Horror, Inc. could greenlight:
✔ A new feature film
✔ A streaming series (Crystal Lake revival?)
✔ More shorts expanding Jason’s mythos
“Jason’s been gone too long. Time to remind everyone why you don’t go camping near Crystal Lake.” – Horror Facts
