Biography Flash: Jason Voorhees Reboot Bloodbath - Filming Wraps, Short Film Slashed, Ted White Tribute

Jason Voorees Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Hey folks, Marcus Ellery here with another pulse-pounding episode of Jason Voorhees Biography Flash. Yeah, you heard that right—our undying icon from the Friday the 13th saga, that hockey-masked mama's boy who's been slashing his way through camp counselors since 1980. Fictional as he is, Jason's bio just got a bloodbath of updates in the past week or so, and I'm here to machete through the noise without spilling my coffee.

First off, the big hush-hush drama: Jason Universe yanked their short film Sweet Revenge off YouTube around December 10th, according to Scream Horror Mag. Fans hated the new look and the Angry Orchard product placement—talk about a buzzkill. Is this rights wars reigniting between Victor Miller and Sean Cunningham? Could tank the whole franchise reboot. Me? I'd bet my rumpled shirt it's backlash biting back.

Then, showrunner Brad Caleb Kane—yeah, the IT: Welcome to Derry guy—dropped killer deets to Collider and Entertainment Weekly on December 9th. Peacock's Crystal Lake prequel wrapped filming in October, eight episodes of '70s paranoid thriller vibes: young Jason played by Chucky's Callum Vinson, Linda Cardellini as unhinged mom Pamela, with rivers of blood but no full slasher mode yet. A24's steering this toward themes of women's lib and institutional mistrust. Release? 2026, fingers crossed. Creepy Catalog confirms the cast—Crazy Ralph, Officer Dorf, even original counselors Claudette and Barry.

Sad note: Ted White, the Part IV Jason who brought that raw stuntman grit, passed at 96, per IMDb and Bloody Disgusting. A legend gone peaceful in his sleep—pour one out for the OG killer.

Holiday cheer? Paramount Scares decked Jason out festive with final girl Melanie Kinnaman from A New Beginning, Fangoria reports—ki ki ki, ho ho ho, indeed. Fan sites like Fridaythe13thfilms.com are buzzing with bracket battles pitting Mrs. Voorhees against her boy.

Whew, Jason's "life" won't stay buried. Thanks for tuning in, legends—subscribe to never miss an update on Jason Voorhees, and search Biography Flash for more great biographies. Stay sharp out there.
