Biography Flash: Jason Voorhees Slashes Back with WWE Star, TV Reboot, and Hard Cider

What this episode covers

Jason Voorees Biography Flash a weekly Biography. If you’ve spent the past three days doing anything besides cyberstalking Jason Voorhees—first of all, congrats on the healthier life choices. Second, let me catch you up, because for the first time in forever, things are actually happening in the land of fictional masked maniacs. You know, Jason Voorhees, the big dude with the hockey mask, who’s basically the American Ninja Warrior of slasher films minus, you know, any actual ninja skills or social awareness. My man’s back in the headlines, and let’s just say, Wisconsin ain't safe and neither is the internet. Just dropped online, we’ve got Sweet Revenge: the first official Friday the 13th film project in 16 years. Sixteen years. That’s, like, half the life expectancy of a Crystal Lake camper. This new short wasn’t just a random YouTube upload—it premiered right around San Diego Comic-Con, got a trailer blitz, and kicked off a full-on campaign for the franchise’s 45th anniversary. Because, you know, nothing says celebration like teenagers being artistically murdered in HD. This Sweet Revenge short is a collaboration between Jason Universe and Angry Orchard Hard Cider. Artistic integrity and product placement—name a more iconic duo, I’ll wait. The film even features a wild new Jason redesign by effects legend Greg Nicotero, the guy who helped make zombies look cool on The Walking Dead. And let’s not forget, fans are already split: some folks say it's a cash grab with cider cans as supporting cast, while others dig the blood-soaked comeback and a new “final girl” twist. You decide if Jason’s new weapon is a hatchet or a hard cider bottle—either way, he’s staying hydrated. Now, for the casting circus: actual news broke about **former WWE juggernaut Braun Strowman—aka Adam Scherr—being deep in talks to grab the hockey mask and his dignity for the next big Jason appearance. Yes, a real-life giant is ready to wear the mask. This might be the wildest wrestling crossover since someone suplexed the shark from Jaws. The details on which project he’d headline are sketchy; film rights are a legal nightmare, but Strowman could show up in the next movie, TV series, or, knowing Hollywood, an interpretive dance routine. Speaking of TV, keep one eye on Crystal Lake, the upcoming series in the hands of A24 and Peacock, rumored for 2026. Yes, the indie darlings of weird cinema are rebooting TV Jason with enough style to make you forget Michael Myers ever existed. Social media? Jason Universe blew up with posts about the short film, collectible Youtooz vinyl figurines dropping next week, and some true crime podcasters already theorizing about Jason's zodiac sign. Plus, die-hards speculating on Reddit if Jason prefers cherry or original cider flavor. The man’s brand is everywhere—just not on a reality show yet, which feels inevitable. Alright, I’ll let you go stock up on hockey masks and cider. Thanks for listening to Jason Voorhees Biography Flash.
