Fan Film MICHAEL VS JASON: EVIL EMERGES is a Viral Hit with Horror Fans
With the Friday the 13th franchise stuck in a quagmire of litigation between original scribe Victor Miller and original director Sean Cunningham, fans of the seminal slasher franchise shouldn’t expect a new feature film featuring Jason Voorhees anytime soon. Luckily, Jason is alive (or undead) and well in the arena of fan films, many of which we’ve shared with our readers over the years.
On April 5th, the YouTubers at Radical Talent released a mashup many horror fans have always wanted to see. Michael vs Jason: Evil Emerges is a family affair, with Luke Pedder writing and directing, John Pedder playing Michael Myers, and Joshua Pedder playing Jason Voorhees. Best of all, you can give the 30-minute fan film a spin at the top of the article right now.
At the time of posting, Michael vs Jason: Evil Emerges has racked up close to 1.8 million views, meaning it’s on track to hit 2 million in its first week online. Sounds like a public vote of confidence in my book!
In addition to the Pedders, Michael vs Jason: Evil Emerges stars Christopher Goldup, Jaxon Green, and Michael Holmes.
