Friday The 13th Film Character Enos Returns In A24 And Peacock Series Crystal Lake

Some quick news today to celebrate Friday The 13th. It was confirmed recently that the character Enos will return in the A24 and Peacock series, Crystal Lake!

 Enos first appeared in Friday The 13th 1980 as the friendly truck driver (employed by Elston Oil Supply) who gives hitchhiking camp counselor Annie Phillips (played by Robbi Morgan) a ride partway to the newly reopened Camp Crystal Lake. Enos is one of the first to deliver exposition (a must in early slasher films) about the camp's dark history. He warns Annie about its troubled past, including the 1957 drowning of a boy named Jason, previous failed attempts to reopen the camp due to fires and "bad water," and the locals' superstition that the place is cursed (affectionately call "Camp Blood").

Veteran actor Rex Everhart portrayed the cult favorite character in the original film of the Friday The 13th franchise and now the next actor will hopefully carry on that legacy. Speaking of the next actor, we have learned that Daniel Stewart Sherman may very well have taken on the persona of the Elston Oil Supply truck driver! 

Daniel is a veteran stage and screen actor with over 25 years in the industry.

Broadway credits include originating the role of Don in Kinky Boots (for which he received an Outer Critics Circle nomination for Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical), as well as appearances in Cyrano de Bergerac, A Touch of the Poet, Henry IV, and The Full Monty.

Off-Broadway and regional theater work includes Guys and Dolls, The Mineola Twins, and productions at Goodman Theatre (e.g., Desire Under the Elms).

TV/film roles: Recurring or guest spots in shows like Lodge 49 (as Jeremy), Chicago Fire (as Scott Boylan), multiple characters across the Law & Order franchise, Run All Night (2015), Marshall (2017), and others.

We have not received official confirmation on Daniel's casting from A24, but it looks very likely he is the man for the job.

Crystal Lake is an upcoming American horror television series developed as a prequel to the iconic Friday the 13th film franchise. Produced by A24 and set to stream exclusively on Peacock in the U.S and Sky in the U.K and Ireland, it explores the origins of Jason Voorhees and his mother, Pamela Voorhees, in a doomed small town where camp counselors meet grisly fates. The series blends slasher elements with deeper character backstories, including various iterations of Jason familiar to franchise fans, and is described as an "expanded prequel" set primarily in 1970-1971 at Camp Crystal Lake.
