The Final Chapter Reunion Brewing. Feldman Added
This writer's favorite film in the Friday the 13th franchise is The Final Chapter. One night I recorded the television version of the film from a local station (complete with edited scenes not witnessed by the majority of fans until the recent 2009 DVD release) and I was not only hooked on the film, but the franchise as a whole! Now HorrorHound Weekend is making it hard not to attend their convention in March.
The event had already signed up Ted White (Jason Voorhees) and Lawrence Monoson (Ted) for the Slasher Fest extravaganza, but now they have just signed Corey Feldman (Tommy Jarvis) as well. As they put it, this is an impromptu reunion for the film. I don't know for certain, but this might be the first time these three have ever appeared together at a convention? At any rate, check out HorrorHound Weekend's SlasherFest this March and visit the official website for more details!

As most people this film made its mark on me. But questions always remain.. why this one?? Is it because when it came out I was 5 and my horror knowledge was fairly new?
ReplyDeleteWhy has this particular film in the series marked so many people?
There are plenty of reasons why other films in the series could be and are as memorable.
So now I ask...Why does this freakin' film stand out most than others in the series for so many people?
I think that the formula was finally perfected by this film and the people involved with this were all involved in the film business previous to this as well. In previous Friday movies it was normal to pluck actors with either no film experience at all or very little at that. In The Final Chapter, most, if not all principle actors had experience in films as well as the creative people behind the scenes. Overall, it just seems like this had quality all around and it is one of those times when everything came together to deliver the quintessential Friday the 13th and slasher film!
ReplyDeleteI met feldman at MonsterMania in cherry hill nj. He was OK, but seemed on edge because his playmate G/F was with him. Glad this movie has a reunion as it is probably the best in the franchise.
