We strive to maintain Jason’s original essence, while continuing to move toward the future with a defined look and feel that takes Jason into his next chapter,” confirms Rob Barsamian, president of Horror, Inc., the company that’s been a part of the character’s past, present, and future. “We’re also working with both familiar and fresh franchise voices to strike that balance.

We gave Greg our new 13-hole mask and worked together on this full body look that embodies classic Jason,” Barsamian says. “He’s a strong, towering and terrifying slasher with a machete, his weapon of choice.
