Recently, IGN broke the news that Horror, Inc. is expanding the Friday the 13th franchise through a series of activations that includes entertainment, games, immersive experiences, and merchandise. Now we can reveal that Jason Voorhees is headed to San Diego Comic-Con in the form of exclusive Jason Universe merch.
Check out the slideshow gallery below for a closer look at the Jason Universe T-shirts and label pin being sold at SDCC:
In total, Horror, Inc. is bringing two shirts and one pin to SDCC, all of which feature the new Jason Voorhees hockey mask design revealed as part of the new Jason Universe brand.
The label pin will be available for free at SDCC, while the shirts are priced at $27.99 each. They can be found at the StylinOnline Tower of T-Shirts booths (#415 and #5029), though quantities will be limited.
“For decades, Jason shocked and thrilled audiences who kept coming back for more. We’re excited to work with Victor Miller and Marc Toberoff on new projects we’ll announce in the coming months,” said Robert Barsamian, President of Horror, Inc., in a statement provided to IGN.
Victor Miller was the screenwriter of the original Friday the 13th movie who reclaimed the domestic rights to the original slasher film in 2021 after a lengthy lawsuit. (Miller, however, is not part of Horror, Inc.)
Barsamian is an executive producer on the upcoming A24 and Peacock expanded prequel series Crystal Lake (which originally had Hannibal’s Bryan Fuller aboard as its showrunner before he parted ways with the project last week). Barsamian was also an executive producer on 2017’s Friday the 13th: The Game.
San Diego Comic-Con 2024 runs from Wednesday, July 24 through Sunday, July 28. Be sure to check out the massive lineup of everything featured on IGN's Comic-Con live show.
