I won't spend an hour shopping because I'm going to put in a prompt what I need, and then it's going to order it for me. In the meantime, that requires so much babysitting and so much hand holding and so much authentication a

‘Friday the 13th’ Short ‘Sweet Revenge’ Is a Gruesomely Fun Jason Voorhees Return

Last May, a new company called Horror Inc. announced the launch of the “Jason Universe,” an initiative aimed at injecting fresh life into the Friday the 13th franchise.

Horror fans are excitedly awaiting Peacock’s Friday the 13th prequel series Crystal Lake—and now we know who’ll be playing the younger version of Jason Voorhees.

And we need to talk about it. On this episode of The Verg

Why Does the Return of ‘Friday the 13th’ Have to Be… Like This?
