Jason Voorhees is unleashed and stalking the grounds of Camp Crystal Lake! Now we need your help to make this game an amazing reality!
So... yeah. A brand new "Friday the 13th" video game. That alone creates a buzz of excitement in the air. Personally, I love the "Friday the 13th" franchise of films and Jason is my favorite slasher icon. There is one little problem the game needs to overcome at this time and that is where you come in. It needs help with funding in order to bring Jason back to life once again.
The game has a page set up on Kickstarter and the fans are obviously hungry for the chance to play as a counselor or as Jason...yeah, you can also play as Jason. Sounds awesome right? Well, it gets better. Wait until you visit the page and see all who is involved in this project. Don't want to wait? Okay, I'll spill the beans on a couple names. How about Kane Hodder and Tom Savini. Yep. Kane Hodder, the man who donned the costume more than anyone else and most fans favorite person to ever portray Jason. Tom Savini, who did the amazing practical effects in "Friday the 13th" and "Friday the 13th: the Final Chapter" along with many other films. Holy sh...wow.
