Welcome back to Jason Voorhees Biography Flash. We've got quite the week to cover for our favorite masked killer, so let's dive right in.

First up, the big news that has horror fans buzzing. According to Parade, franchise co-creator Sean Cunningham revealed on Friday, March 13th that a new Friday the 13th film centered on Jason Voorhees is currently in development. Cunningham told TMZ that a film treatment has already been completed, and there's renewed optimism the project could finally move forward after years of legal complications. The major breakthrough? Cunningham and fellow co-creator Victor Miller have resolved their long-standing disputes. Cunningham also pointed to the merger between Warner Bros. and Paramount as potentially solving remaining rights issues, since both studios currently hold certain franchise rights. While nothing's been officially greenlit yet, Cunningham says he expects to serve as executive producer if the film moves forward. He emphasized wanting an old school approach that captures the terror of the original films, though he believes a younger writer should helm the script to tap into modern fears.

In related franchise news, the prequel series Crystal Lake is gearing up for its Peacock debut later this year. According to the Friday the 13th Franchise website, the A24-produced show explores the origins of Camp Crystal Lake and focuses on Pamela Voorhees, played by Linda Cardellini, alongside young Jason portrayed by Callum Vinson. The series wraps up post-production after filming concluded in late 2025 in New Jersey locations. Peacock just revealed the first official images from the show, and they're giving serious vibes from the original 1980 film.

On the merchandise front, NECA announced pre-orders for a new Jason Voorhees action figure inspired by Friday the 13th Part Eight: Jason Takes Manhattan. This fully articulated seven-inch figure features interchangeable hands, a removable mask, and an axe accessory, capturing Jason's signature waterlogged aesthetic.

Finally, horror fans got a real treat this past Friday the 13th. Milwaukee Horror Con attempted to set a Guinness World Record for the most Jason Voorhees costumes in one room, aiming for 250 plus Jasons gathered together. The event celebrated the franchise with celebrity panels, costume contests, and meet and greets.
