Several photos from the filming of the horror movie show how the serial killer looks like without his hockey mask on.One of the curiosities behind “Friday the 13th” is unveiled through the release of on-set photos where Jason Voorhees is photographed without his mask on. The character portrayed by Derek Mears is shown for the first time with a badly-shaped face, the distortion he has to bear since he was born. The on-set photos courtesy of HorrorBid.com, is taken from the scene in a forest where there’s also an old toppled bus. The horror movie remake has wrapped up its principle photography in Austin, Texas in June this year. Returning to the story that started it all, this retelling of the original “Friday the 13th” heads back to summer camp where a mysterious killer is systematically slaughtering the teenage camp counselors.

| September 30, 2008 | Supernatural (TV Series): The Complete Third Season |
“Supernatural” is the best genre show to hit the airwaves since Joss Whedon’s “Buffy/Angel” franchise bit the dust in 2004. With its third season the show really began to grow, crafting diverse plot threads heading in multiple directions. Unfortunately, its growth was cut short by the ridiculous Writers Guild strike that forced the run of “Supernatural” episodes down from its usual twenty-two to a paltry sixteen. While the loss of six episodes might not seem all that devastating, it forced the show’s creators to rush through some slowly evolving plot lines to wrap up the season with a satisfying finale. The end result is still the best horror-themed show on TV in several years. But “Supernatural” heavily relies on its episodic nature, and its pacing was completely ruined by a union power play that ultimately did little to benefit the striking writers and truly hurt their fans rather than the studios.The first two seasons of “Supernatural” revolved around the Winchester brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) traveling across the country in search of their demon hunting father, John (Jeffery Dean Morgan). The brothers’ quest for answers about their mother’s death and the location of their missing father was wrapped up in season two. The main plot of the third season rests on the boys trying to figure out a way for Dean to renege on a deal he made with a demon to save Sam’s life. The deal brought Sam back from death but gave Dean only a year left to live on Earth, and then he would dragged down to hell, body and soul, for all eternity. |

| September 27, 2008 | Supernatural: Are You There, God? It’s Me, Dean Winchester |
Are you there, entertainment gods? It’s me, TV Tracker. Just wanting to thank you for sending “Supernatural” a really hot angel. You can use that good TV karma when I come after you for failing to give “The Wire” an Emmy.Yes, folks, Castiel is back. But before we can pledge our undying allegiance to both the concept of Castiel (Genius!) and the reality of actor Misha Collins (Fabulous!), we have an entire episode to deal with. Fortunately, the final scene between blunt-instrument Dean and God’s Hot Warrior was worth the wait.So it turns out that victims of deadly demonic activity are coming back from the dead to kill the hunters who couldn’t save them. First Agent Henrickson shows up to pummel Sam in a gas station bathroom. Then two creepy little girl ghosts try to suffocate Bobby in an abandoned car. And finally, Meg and her flattering new hair appear in Bobby’s hallway just in time to beat the bejesus out of Dean.”You’re supposed to help people, Dean,” Meg says pleadingly, before kicking Dean’s stomach into his spine. “Why didn’t you help me?”And why didn’t actress Nicki Aycox show this kind of subtlety in Season 1? That would have helped me. |
