Hamilton | 304 pages | 06 Feb 2015 | Headline Publishing Group | 9781472226983 | English | London, United Kingdom Jason Voorhees | Friday the 13th Wiki | Fandom Jason fathered twins with the queen. Heracles pressured them to leave as he was disgusted by the antics of the Argonauts. He had not taken part, which is truly unusual considering the numerous affairs he had with other women. After Lemnos the Argonauts landed among the Doliones , whose king Cyzicus treated them graciously. He told them about the land beyond Bear Mountain, but forgot to mention what lived there. What lived in the land beyond Bear Mountain were the Gegeines , which are a tribe of Earthborn giants with six arms and wore leather loincloths. While most of the crew went into the forest to search for supplies, the Gegeines saw that few Argonauts were guarding the ship and raided it. Heracles was among those guarding the ship at the time and managed to kill most of them before Jason and the others returned. Once some of the other Gegeines were killed, Jason and the Argonauts set sail. The Argonauts departed, losing their bearings and landing again at the same spot that night. In the darkness, the Doliones took them for enemies and they started fighting each other. The Argonauts killed many of the Doliones, among them the king Cyzicus. Cyzicus' wife killed herself. The Argonauts realized their horrible mistake when dawn came and held a funeral for him. Soon Jason reached the court of Phineus of Salmydessus in Thrace. Zeus had sent the harpies to steal the food put out for Phineas each day.

  • Friday the 13Th: the Beginning
    FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE BEGINNING by Jordan Wiebe Based on the screenplay By Victor Miller EXT. SUBURBS - DAY Rows of homes line up and down along the street. All the houses look the same, door mats lie in front of the front doors, green yards with a white picket fence and flower beds underneath the front windows. This is a neighbourhood that Frank Capra himself would fall in love with. TITLE CARD - UPSTATE NEW YORK - JULY, 1957 The sun shines in the mostly clear blue sky, a few clouds are scattered about. A young couple who are obviously in love, push a baby carriage along the sidewalk. Across the street a young girl in pig tails, runs around the front yard with a kite string in her hands. Her kite sails high in the sky. A man in a hat drives his 1954 dark green Chevy Ragtop down the street. The man in the hat waves to the young girl, she waves back and lets go of the string. Her kite flies away. She panics, then chases it across her yard, she’s not going to let this one get away. The man in the hat turns to the young couple and gives them a smile and a wave. The couple stop, smile, and wave back. This is sure a swell place to live. A young boy with a skinny frame, JASON VOORHEES, eleven, speeds rapidly down the side of the street on his bright red Phantom Schwinn. This is a boy on a mission. His face is filled with excitement and joy.

  • It's Been Almost 10 Years Since One of the Scariest Horror Characters of All
    FREDDY vs. JASON Get ready for the ultimate showdown! Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) is in hell – literally. It’s been nearly ten years since Krueger, one of the scariest horror movie characters of all time (from A The Nightmare on Elm Street series), invaded peoples’ dreams to exact his deadly form of revenge and murder. But now, his memory has been systematically erased by a town determined to put an end to Freddy once and for all. Potential victims have been drugged to prevent them from dreaming, rendering impotent the master of nightmares They’ve eliminated their fear of Freddy, absolute torture for an egomaniac psychopath who’s a legend in his own mind. Like an inmate with a life sentence, Freddy’s been reduced to plotting a fantastic revenge that will never happen. Until, that is, Freddy resurrects Jason Voorhees (Ken Kirzinger), the equally iconic madman from the Friday the 13th film series. Jason is the perfect means for Freddy to once again instill fear on Elm Street, creating a window of opportunity for him to emerge from his purgatory. Recognizing how easily manipulated Jason is, Freddy tricks Voorhees into journeying to Springwood to start a new reign of terror. But as the bodies begin to pile up on Elm Street and Freddy’s fearsome reputation assumes new life, he discovers that Jason isn’t willing to cease his murderous ways and step aside so easily. Now, with a terrified town in the middle, the two titans of terror enter into a horrifying showdown of epic proportions, alternating between the world of dreams and the harsh reality of the living world.

  • Explore Warren : Mark Friday the 13Th with Special Events
    Mark Friday the 13th with Special Events in Warren County EXPLORE WARREN POSTED: OCT 13, 2017 Whenever the infamous date of Friday the 13th rolls around, Warren County marks a chilling chapter in its history. For it was on that date the infamous murders happened at Camp Crystal Lake, when a group of teenagers were slain, one by one, while attempting to re-open the abandoned campground. Actually, the camp is fictional and those murders never happened. But "Friday the 13th" - the 1980 American slasher film directed by Sean S. Cunningham and written by Victor Miller - was filmed in and around the peaceful, rural towns of northern Warren County, and many of the exterior settings can still be seen, looking remarkably unchanged from when they were depicted in the film. Visitors are invited to check out some of those locations, see the movie, and participate in other special events on this October's Friday the 13th. This time, in addition to showings of the film at Roy's Hall in Blairstown, the nearby Blairstown Museum will have a special display of movie memorabilia; The Carriage House will host an actual Friday the 13th-themed wedding open to the public; Buck Hill Brewery and Restaurant has live music plus drink specials including the "Camp Crystal Lake Shots"; and be sure to look around town, you never know where the real life Jason is lurking. Horror film fanatics from across the country flock to the area throughout the year to tour the local filming locations, and during the Friday the 13th screenings of the movie at Roy's Hall, audiences go wild whenever the prominent local landmarks appear on screen.

  • United States District Court District of Connecticut
    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT HORROR INC. and MANNY COMPANY, Plaintiffs, No. 3:16-cv-1442 (SRU) v. VICTOR MILLER, Defendant. RULING ON CROSS-MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT Nearly 40 years ago, a screenplay was written about Camp Crystal Lake. The film created from the screenplay went on to significant commercial success. Lurking below that peaceful surface, however, was the Copyright Act’s termination right, waiting for just the right moment, when it would emerge and wreak havoc on the rights to the screenplay. This is a case about copyright ownership in the screenplay to the original Friday the 13th film. The Copyright Act, which went into effect in 1978, only a year before the screenplay was written, provided authors with a new and important benefit—the ability to terminate grants of their copyright interests and reclaim their copyrights, beginning thirty-five years after they first transferred their rights. The termination right was established to permit authors to access the long tail of proceeds from a successful work that they could not initially have anticipated when they conveyed away their rights. The important exception to the Copyright Act’s termination right is that the copyright in “works made for hire” by an employee, and, in limited circumstances, an independent contractor, cannot be clawed back. The termination right cannot apply in such cases because the hiring party is itself considered the initial author of the work. The defendant in this declaratory judgment action is Victor Miller (“Miller”), the credited screenwriter of the original Friday the 13th screenplay. In 1979, Miller was contacted by his friend, Sean Cunningham (“Cunningham”), an already successful producer, to collaborate on a horror film project—with Miller as the screenwriter and Cunningham as the producer.
