Tom Savini Looks To Soon Be Joining The Friday The 13th Show 'Crystal Lake'

There will be a lot of news announced for the Crystal Lake show in the next few months with big surprises coming for actors involved as well as who will be portraying certain characters in the Friday The 13th prequel series. With Adrienne King already announced as a legacy actor from the films joining the show, and Scream film writer Kevin Williamson involved creatively as well, we now seemingly have a new Friday The 13th alumni joining the mix.

Crystal Lake show runner Bryan Fuller recently posted the photo below on his Twitter account with horror make-up effects legend Tom Savini. As our readers know, Tom worked on the original 1980 film Friday The 13th as well as Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter. We do not have details on what his involvement will be on the show, but we hope he will be assisting with effects work, and better yet, perhaps gets himself a recurring role in the episodic telling of the beginning of the mayhem at Crystal Lake.

Exact plot details are being kept under wraps, although it is described as an “expanded prequel.” The show will be written by Bryan Fuller, who is also the showrunner and an executive producer. Victor Miller, who penned the original film in the franchise, will also executive produce along with Marc Toberoff, Rob Barsamian, and A24. A24 will also serve as the studio behind the series.
