Cool Stuff You Can Buy to Honor Jason on Friday the 13th – Etsy Edition
It’s the first Friday the 13th of the new year! Time to grab your sharpest machete and your strongest Hockey mask and get ready for a springtime romp through bloody fields of Camp Counselors.
We’ve finally reached the spring season, so this is definitely the best time to do a bit of redecorating in your Crystal Lake cabin. Because I care about you and your quest for unique, handmade housewares and apparel, I’ve compiled a list of some killer items from all across Etsy that are perfect for your Jason-inspired decor dreams.
Whether you identify more with Friday the 13th‘s prolific killer or the Final Girls of the fan-favorite franchise, I’ve found a little something for everyone.
Check ’em out and share your favorites! You’ve got plenty of shopping days before the next Friday the 13th.
Amaretto scented? Blood filled? This bath bomb is checking off all my boxes.
This fantastic pin provides the option of letting the hanging canoe (and surprised Jason) swing freely, or it can be securely pinned for a more structured statement (that is less likely to catch on loose fabric). So practical!
I’m in love with this fabric and I need to use it all over my house thanks.
Now that’s a quality mask! The leather straps on this bad boy are A+
This print makes me so happy. SO. HAPPY.
If I had this apron, I might actually learn to cook someday! Hahaha who am I kidding.
Show off your Camp pride with this awesome sweatshirt (available in 18 different colors)! The beauty of this design is that it looks like a logo for a legit camp you would go to – you know, the kind where you would actually make it home alive.
These are amazing. That machete heel! Those spikes! Dang.
Awww. The behind-the-mask beard detail is pretty great.
Check out this fantastic glow in the dark enamel pin that plays a perfect homage to the only Friday the 13th game that ever truly matters.
I love the depth and the retro feel of this piece. The silhouette artwork is reminiscent of those fantastic tourism posters that were popular in the 1930s.
A delightful way to welcome new guests!
Nothing says Mortal Kombat (or, more accurately, Immortal Combat) like this killer custom Freddy vs Jason PS4 controller.
This design is fantastic. It’s dark, it’s broody, and Jason’s breaking the fourth wall – as if to say “hey guys, watch this” – is wonderful.
This is the only bag you should ever take on a camping trip.
A delightful way to proudly display a perfect collection of replica props from the Friday the 13th game.
Look, if you’re gonna smoke in the woods, just know that the big guy is comin’ for ya. You might as well flatter him by using this pipe.
Such fabulous color! Could we collectively get together to post these at every lake in North America? Cool. Thanks guys.
Phenomenal detail! The cracking around the eyes is marvelous.
This rad patch is also available as a sticker and pin and – fun fact – I need all of them!
Cuuuuuuuuuuuute
Bottom’s up!
That item name though…
Upcycled thrift store paintings are underrated and you know it.
A charming way to welcome visitors to your campground!
Rad. As. Hell. I dig this design.
Well this is just the most precious print. He’s so happy to have that severed arm! Aww.

‘The Strangers’ Invaded Coachella in Instagramable PR Stunt
Renny Harlin’s reboot of The Strangers isn’t coming out until May 17, but those murderous home invaders are making a pit stop at Coachella first.
In the latest Instagramable PR stunt, the studio behind the film decided to have the trio of masked intruders crash Coachella, a music festival that takes place for two weekends in Southern California.
This type of publicity began when Paramount did the same thing with their horror movie Smile in 2022. Their version had seemingly ordinary people in populated places look directly into a camera with an evil grin.
Harlin’s reboot is actually a trilogy with a more expansive world than that of the original.
“When setting out to remake The Strangers, we felt there was a bigger story to be told, which could be as powerful, chilling, and terrifying as the original and could really expand that world,” said producer Courtney Solomon. “Shooting this story as a trilogy allows us to create a hyperreal and terrifying character study. We’re fortunate to be joining forces with Madelaine Petsch, an amazing talent whose character is the driving force of this story.”
The movie follows a young couple (Madelaine Petsch and Froy Gutierrez) who “after their car breaks down in an eerie small town, are forced to spend the night in a remote cabin. Panic ensues as they are terrorized by three masked strangers who strike with no mercy and seemingly no motive in The Strangers: Chapter 1 the chilling first entry of this upcoming horror feature film series.”
The Strangers: Chapter 1 opens in theaters on May 17.

‘Alien’ Returning to Theaters For a Limited Time
It’s been 45 years since Ridley Scott’s Alien hit theaters and in celebration of that milestone, it is headed back to the big screen for a limited time. And what better day to do that than Alien Day on April 26?
It also works as a primer for the upcoming Fede Alvarez sequel Alien: Romulus opening on August 16. A special feature in which both Alvarez and Scott discuss the original sci-fi classic will be shown as a part of your theater admission. Take a look at the preview of that conversation below.
Back in 1979, the original trailer for Alien was kind of terrifying. Imagine sitting in front of a CRT TV (Cathode Ray Tube) at night and suddenly Jerry Goldsmith’s haunting score begins to play as a giant chicken egg starts to crack with beams of light bursting through the shell and the word “Alien” slowly forms in slanted all caps across the screen. To a twelve-year-old, it was a scary pre-bedtime experience, especially Goldsmith’s screaming electronic musical flourishes playing over scenes of the actual movie. Let the “Is it horror or sci-fi?” debate begin.
Alien became a pop culture phenomenon, complete with kid’s toys, a graphic novel, and an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. It also inspired dioramas in wax museums and even a frightening setpiece at Walt Disney World in the now-defunct Great Movie Ride attraction.
The film stars Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, and John Hurt. It tells the tale of a futuristic crew of blue-collar workers suddenly awakened out of stasis to investigate an undecipherable distress signal coming from a nearby moon. They investigate the source of the signal and discover it’s a warning and not a cry for help. Unbeknownst to the crew, they have brought a giant space creature back on board which they find out in one of the most iconic scenes in cinema history.
It is said that Alvarez’s sequel will pay homage to the original film’s storytelling and set design.
The Alien theatrical re-release will take place on April 26. Pre-order your tickets and find out where Alien will screen at a theater near you.
