The game is being developed by Gun Media and has been launched on Kickstarter. It’s looking for $700,000 in funding – already reaching half that with just 28 days left to go. If achieved, this game will freaking rock. Seriously. Not only will you get to play as Jason, but it will all happen within a rich 80’s themed environment. To top it off, they have brought in Kane Hodder in to do mo-cap for Jason, Tom Savini to help enrich the world of Crystal Lake, and Harry Manfredini to score the game – which makes sense considering he’s done the score for the original

‘Ash vs. Evil Dead’ is approaching it’s premier on STARZ on Halloween. At the New York Comic Con Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi are already revealing names of the people they dream of making cameos in the series. Campbell told MovieBuzzers “I’d use a lot of them. “I’d get Robert Englund in there, Kane Hodder, all the guys I run into in the green room at these conventions. Shatner, I’d get him, whoever. But I’d like to get a lot of the genre people in. I don’t want to exclude them at all. We used Mimi Rogers in the first season.
