Hello Jason

I Find Your Lack of Mask Disturbing

Actually, a clown face with that breathing and voice would have been way more disturbing.  (Get the See Mike Draw tee at Neatorama)

Friday The 13th: Jason's Closet

Just in time for Halloween comes the Jason hoodie from designer Marc Ecko, which is stylish enough to use on your next convenience store robbery, once you're done terrorizing your neighbourhood as a masked lunatic, of course.

Channel the terror of Crystal Lake in this "Jason" hoodie from the Friday the 13th series by Marc Ecko.

If that's not quite psychotic enough for you, there are also version of The Joker, Jigsaw, and somewhat incongruously, Gene Simmons.

Paraskavedekatriaphobia Butchery

The National Post's Andrew Barr and Mike Faille breaks down Jason Voorhees' body count since he started waging his one-man war against the evils of premarital sex, drug use, being a teenager and not being Jason Voorhees. Click on the pic or here for the full-size version.



Today marks the release of the 12th Friday the 13th movie. Expect a huge outbreak of paraskavedekatriaphobia when they roll out the 13th edition.



Until then, stay away from any abandoned, lakeside summer camps. I'm just sayin'.

Update, Aug. 6, 2011: Welcome Hey Oscar Wilde! fans. Andrew Barr can be found at Somethingagogo and @DunwichHorror, Mike Faille at mikefaille.com
