Movie Trivia

Producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form are responsible for the remakes of some classic horror films - “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “The Amityville Horror,” “The Hitcher” - and now they’re bringing back to life another franchise: “Friday the 13th”.

Jared Padalecki is used to dealing with supernatural beasts and otherworldly creatures on a weekly basis on the TV series “Supernatural,” but he has to face off against a real psycho - Jason Voorhees (played by Derek Mears) - in “Friday the 13th”.
