News that's lurking around in the woods...

Hey readers!

Man, it's a pretty damn good time to be a Friday the 13th fan. Take last night, for example.

I cooked up three small chicken breasts, doused 'em in Texas Pete chicken wing hot sauce, had some ranch dressing and a whole ton of those bad-to-the-bone "Crispers" french fries from my local grocer's freezer section.

So I ended up getting sick as hell. At first I was scared it was Salmonella poisoning, which caused me to go into a horrifying panic, but then I realized it was only because I'm a dumbass and the ranch dressing I used was out of date. Not only that, but also: at it's core, Texas Pete just absolutely sucks compared to Tabasco. That's just life, I guess.

At any rate, I didn't sleep much, but luckily I had Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood to keep me company. When Jason whacks Melissa in the skull with a giant axe and throws her across the room into the TV, I somehow felt more comforted and much better. Anyway, today I'm doing great, and I really owe it all to clinically-insane director John Carl Buechler (And Kane Hodder... thanks, big guy) for getting me through.

So in great anticipation of CAMP VOORHEES coming our way on Friday, June 13th, I wanted to throw out a few resources that are shaping up to be pretty exciting.

THE OFFICIAL FRIDAY THE 13TH PLATINUM DUNES BLOG

This is the spot where Brad Fuller, producer at Platinum Dunes (Michael Bay's hilarious "remake" production company, responsible for such awesome/horrible remakes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hitcher, The Amityville Horror and early next year... Friday the 13th!) writes the up-to-date inside scoops on Camp Crystal Lake.

However, the dumb bastard updates his blog about as much as me... which obviously isn't very freakin' often.

A FANTASTIC ARTICLE AT BLOODY DISGUSTING

This is just a great, great, exciting piece of reporting from the set. Good 'ole MrDisgusting has given us a glimpse into how freakin' awesome this movie is shaping up to be. I really enjoyed this one with all my heart and soul and even my crotch.

Finally, I plan on doing some more video commentary on several clips that my man Justin has thrown up on YOUTUBE. Be on the lookout, and again, be sure to visit Camp Voorhees in 14 days!!

Sincerely yours,

-Texas Pete
