Another big, fun story for all you Jason Vorhees fans tonight.
So last week I reported that in Jason Vorhees is, in official canon, a Deadite from the Evil Dead series (here) and now it seems that the world’s greatest horror writer (of ALL time), Stephen King, has hinted that he has a great idea for a Friday the 13th movie starring Jason.
Taking to Twitter (below), King wrote: “The best novel idea I never wrote (and probably never will) is I JASON, the first-person narrative of Jason Voohees, and his hellish fate: killed over and over again at Camp Crystal Lake. What a hellish, existential fate!”
I’ve been reading King’s books since I was 13 and I’m a massive fan of his, so the idea of him taking on a horror icon like Jason and Camp Crystal is, well, bloodcurdlingly exciting.
I can’t even begin to think what this might be but King, while he loves to get deep into what makes horror tick and its place in society, isn’t beyond a good scary fun romp – seriously, Needful Things is a riot! – so this could be the match made in heaven that we never knew we needed.
Will it happen? Nah, likely not… but a nerd can dream, can’t he?
Let me know your thoughts, gang.
The best novel idea I never wrote (and probably never will) is I JASON, the first-person narrative of Jason Voohees, and his hellish fate: killed over and over again at Camp Crystal Lake. What a hellish, existential fate!
