Friday the 13th Remake: Let the marketing BEGIN!

Well it's just about a month away so time for the marketing blitz to begin for the new Friday the 13th remake...er, reimagining... re---rereeeeeee!

I gotta tell ya: I smiled a lot when I visited my local multiplex and saw this standee in the lobby.
Nice to see that hockey mask showing up again.
And as far as marketing goes: the standee was working.
Two girls with their mom saw the thing, stuck their head in and took their picture with their camera phones. They giggled and even the mom said "Neat!"

See? Homicidal maniacs DO bring families together.

I don't know if you can see it in the picture there but you can post your photos on a dedicated Facebook page at:
facebook.com/victimsofjasonvoorhees.

On the Facebook page you can find downloadable desktop wallpaper, a link to a Friday the 13th merch store, a t-shirt iron-on (special iron-on printer paper NOT included), and ---what I think is the coolest item offered--- a PDF of Jason's mask you can print-out at work, scare your co-workers and get fired for wearing at your desk.
Neat indeed.

Hope it doesn't suck!

I read somewhere that this movie picks up with Jason right after the Freddy vs. Jason movie. I enjoyed FvsJ, so hopefully it will be scary and fun. I hope it doesn’t suck.

The Captain: Right after FvsJ? Really? I hadn't heard that. I thought it was a complete restart of the series. (I enjoyed FvsJ too.)

Full Moon: Can't wait too!
