Following our exclusive Jason Universe<\/strong> logo reveal<\/a> last week, Horror Inc. is continuing its Friday the 13th<\/strong> 45th anniversary celebration with a new take on Jason Voorhees, revealed by Adweek<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Makeup effects legend Greg Nicotero<\/strong> (\u201cThe Walking Dead\u201d) aided in the redesign of the horror icon that will reside in the Jason Universe, a multi-platform expansion of the Friday the 13th franchise from its original owners.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strive to maintain Jason\u2019s original essence, while continuing to move toward the future with a defined look and feel that takes Jason into his next chapter. We\u2019re also working with both familiar and fresh franchise voices to strike that balance,\u201d said\u00a0Horror, Inc. president Rob Barsamian. \u201cWe gave Greg our new 13-hole mask and worked together on this full body look that embodies classic Jason. He\u2019s a strong, towering and terrifying slasher with a machete, his weapon of choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s incredibly exciting to bring Jason Voorhees back into the lives of fans in such a bold and fresh way,\u201d adds Friday the 13th LLC\u2019s Marc Toberoff. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be working alongside Horror, Inc. on this next chapter of the franchise and Jason\u2019s legacy, and we share their passion. Together, we\u2019re making sure this return delivers everything longtime fans have been craving\u2014while opening the door for an entirely new generation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The launching pad for the Jason Universe will be Peacock\u2019s \u201cCrystal Lake<\/a><\/strong>,\u201d the upcoming prequel series starring Linda Cardellini<\/strong> as Pamela Voorhees, but Horror, Inc. chief marketing officer Sheri Conn promises their ambitions extend back to the big screen and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re listening to fans and actively developing a slate under the Jason Universe banner that spans new movies, gaming, immersive experiences, collectibles and more. Our film franchise is one of the most enduring horror properties in cinematic history, and we\u2019re actively reimagining what the next chapter\u2014and the slasher genre overall\u2014can become.\u201d<\/p>\n

Horror, Inc. recently announced a partnership deal with licensing agency Striker Entertainment that covers global consumer products and continues to actively seek brand partners for the franchise\u2019s presence beyond movie and TV screens.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur long-term vision for Jason Universe is to continue building upon the franchise\u2019s iconic history, alongside partners who understand our goals and the importance of staying true to our roots,\u201d notes Conn.<\/p>\n

\u201cJason has not only earned his spot within horror, but he has significantly shaped the medium itself and the ways in which audiences interact with the villains that have shaped their nightmares,\u201d says Horror, Inc. executive vice president Robbie Barsamian.\u00a0\u201cWe know fans are eager for more Jason stories and experiences. And\u2014as we celebrate 45 years of his iconic history\u2014we\u2019re excited to show him off in this new era.\u201d<\/p>\n

On a related note, Bloody Disgusting is partnering with Paramount Scares & Street Food Cinema for a Friday the 13th 45th anniversary event<\/a> at The Autry Museum in LA on June 13.<\/p>\n
