Filming The Rave Scene: Freddy vs Jason

The rave scene in Freddy vs Jason is one of the main climactic moments in the film that showcases Jason Voorhees going on a long overdue murder spree. A lot of work went into preparing the scene which would feature numerous extras, a long burn stunt and a party must have.... beer.

Last year, Mario Kirner (who owns the Friday the 13th Props Museum) shared with this writer a portion of the shooting schedule that he obtained from the film. In that shooting schedule, the particulars of the rave scene are mapped out, including the actual shooting location of the scene and all of the little interesting tidbits needed for the day of filming.

On the shooting schedule for the rave scene, you will notice prostetics and props listed that would be utilized in the scene, including DJ turntables, beer bongs, various pyro materials and of course the infamous hockey mask and machete. On the left side of the sheet, you will notice the main cast members needed for the rave shooting. There are two Jason's listed. One is the normal Jason actor, Ken Kirzinger, and the other is the stunt Jason.

The stunt Jason was portrayed by stuntman Glen Ennis. He was charged with the challenging task of performing the long burn stunt which has Jason walking through the cornfield on fire. It is an awesome moment in the film and one that is fun to watch over and over again. Take a look at the rest of the list on the shooting sheet and see of there is any other items that pique your interest!
