Fright-Rags gives us TWO limited edition shirt designs for this year's final Friday the 13th!

Fright-Rags keeps finding ways to drain my bank account and/or jack up my credit card bills. Though I've skipped out on several of their latest offerings (like their awesome ALIEN and DAWN OF THE DEAD limited editions), I find it impossible to miss out on the two designs that they are putting out this coming Friday. On FRIDAY THE 13TH, Fright-Rags is putting out two limited edition shirt designs based on "Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter." Check 'em out and start salivating folks!

Design by Justin Osbourn from SLASHER DESIGN.

Design by JEFF ZORNOW!

The artwork is just beautiful, and as soon as I saw these shirts I knew that I must make them MINE! (Same thing happened when Fright-Rags put out their GI JASON and Tommy Jarvis shirts! I'm a sucker for the Voorhees!) Both designs are available on t-shirts and hoodies, and come in all sizes. (S - 5XL for the dudes and S - 2XL for the dudettes.) T-shirts are going for $25.95; hoodies are going for $45.95. This is a pre-order item that is only available from Friday, July 13th @ midnight (EST), until Sunday, July 15th @ 11:59 PM. Once your order is placed, it'll take up to four weeks for your shirt to get to you.

What's that? Yeah these shirts are pricy and yeah FOUR WEEKS is a long time. But you know what? When they arrive on your doorstep, you'll realize that they were well worth it! Plus, once you own either shirt (or both), you can act smug because not everyone will have been lucky enough to grab these shirts before they were gone! (Truth!)

So start rolling change or sell something on eBay (or whip out a credit card and drive yourself further into debt.... LIKE ME!) because you NEED to buy these awesome shirts! And speaking of "Friday the 13th," I'm STILL giving away all twelve films on DVD (plus a Kane Hodder autograph)! Enter before Friday ends! Details HERE!

And the winner of the JOE ESTEVEZ GIVEAWAY is.....

B.C. Clemmons, come on down! Out of the fourteen folks who entered, your name was drawn, which means you now have some bragging rights AND a copy of "Joe Estevez: Wiping off the Sheen" which was signed by Joe himself! You also get two DVD-Rs of "Soultaker" and "MST3K: Soultaker!" ENJOY!

Don't feel bad if you missed out on all that cool stuff because I still have another big contest going on at the moment! Pitch me your dream "Friday the 13th" movie and really try hard to sell me on it. If I choose your idea, you will win ALL TWELVE "Friday the 13th" movies on DVD PLUS a cool "Friday the 13th Part VIII" mini-poster that is signed by Kane Hodder!

The contest has been going for just over a week now and ends on July 13th at midnight! I will then pick a winner and post a video showcasing the winning movie pitch! So hurry up and get your entries in, because this contest is ending in ten days!

For more details (and ideas) CLICK HERE! Good luck slasher fans!

WIN ALL 12 FRIDAY THE 13TH FILMS ON DVD! WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON FRIDAY THE 13TH!

Before I tell you how you can win all TWELVE "Friday the 13th" movies on DVD (along with a Kane Hodder autograph!), allow me to once again remind all of you that the JOE ESTEVEZ GIVEAWAY is still going on until next Saturday (June 30th)! CLICK HERE for details! The winner gets a copy of the book "Joe Estevez: Wiping off the Sheen" signed by Joe Estevez himself, as well as a copy of SOULTAKER on DVD-R! Enter now because this month is moving by very quickly!

ENTER OR DIE!

Now, moving on to my next contest (which will be the last big giveaway I have for some time.... you guys and gals are bankrupting me! Haha!), you read that correctly folks! I am indeed giving away ALL TWELVE "Friday the 13th" films on DVD! So how do you win this stack o' movies?! Well, I'm glad you asked! Prepare to do some work over the next three and a half weeks!

To enter, I want you to pretend you are pitching a new "Friday the 13th" movie to me, as if I were a producer at a major film company. It's your dream project and you think you've got a fresh idea to bring the franchise back in a big way, so you are DESPERATE to gain my approval. But I won't be easily swayed. Sure, maybe you've got a cool idea, but it'll take a bit more than a few ideas scribbled on paper to make me cough up the dough for your expensive "fan film."

So develop a really cool pitch about your dream "Friday the 13th" movie. Write up a synopsis or mini-treatment describing the story, characters, and crazy hijinks Mr. Voorhees (if he IS the real killer in your film) will get in to. Also, come up with a fake poster, or a fake trailer, or a storyboard, or concept art, etc. and really try to sell me on your idea. Will you make it a sequel? A remake? A reboot? A crossover? Will Jason battle or team up with other Horror villains? The sky is the limit!

To answer your next barrage of questions: E-mail your "movie pitches" to vault_master@bmoviefilmvault.com ON OR BEFORE JULY 13TH! As midnight strikes and we enter SATURDAY THE 14TH, I will be announcing a winner of this contest! Once again, if I choose your film pitch, you will be getting all twelve flicks that make up this crazy slasher franchise! (Plus a miniature Friday the 13th Part VIII poster signed by KANE HODDER!)

So get moving folks because you only have three weeks to pull this off! Good luck, and may the best slasher fan/future movie mogul win!

JOOOOINNNN US!

CLICK HERE AT MIDNIGHT TO PRE-ORDER THIS BADBOY!

That's it for now; stay tuned for some new stuff at the Vault and its satellite blogs!

Limited Edition Fright-Rags tee & hoodie coming this Friday the 13th + cool b-movie fan fiction!

If none of you are familiar with Fright-Rags or Canadian artist Jason Edmiston visit their sites and take in all the glory. Go ahead, I'll wait.... pretty damned cool stuff right? I count myself lucky that I actually own some of Jason's artwork; it was pricy but 100% worth it and is now sitting above my TV in my living room.

Night of the Creeps vs. The Monster Squad poster. Signed by Jason Edmiston, director Fred Dekker, and "Creeps" star Tom "THRILL ME!" Atkins! If you want your own, or any of Jason's other artwork, visit his Etsy store HERE!

Anyway, my point of all this is to announce that Fright-Rags and Jason Edmiston have teamed up to bring us all an awesome Limited Edition t-shirt/hoodie that will only be available next weekend starting at 12:01 AM EST on Friday the 13th and ending at midnight the following Sunday. This is a pre-order so it won't run out, all shirt sizes will be available for both men and women, and pricing is as follows: T-shirts are $25.95 / Hoodies are $49.95. Since this is a pre-order item, it could take up to four weeks for your item to arrive. Oh jeez... almost forgot to show you what it is that you can pre-order. You ready for this? I hope you are fellow nerds:

He'll get you on the land, the sea, or air!

I'm all ready to pre-order mine next Friday, you should be too! Maybe it if goes over well, we'll get a whole line of GI slashers! Sky's the limit as far as I'm concerned!

Also, before I close out this blog post, I wanted to share some b-movie fan fiction that was sent my way a few days ago by a writer named Tommie Johnson. It's a nifty little short story about the creation of a new team of heroes for a secret government group called the OIMC (Official Institute of Monster Control).

Its set in a universe where Japan is abandoned to due constant kaiju attacks, genetic body modification is all the rage with the kids, and Tromaville is a legit place and popular tourist attraction. Needless to say, I totally dug it. Give Tommie's A World of Schmucks and Monsters a quick read won't you? And see if you can pick out all the references to b-cinema he's packed into this monster-filled tale.

Well, I've got this entire day to myself, so before I chillax and do whatever it is that I want to do, I have some errands to run and some chores that need doing. Later tonight I will be posting a video on Youtube announcing a new contest at the Vault, and maybe I'll even get some writing done. (I've got a half-finished account of my trip to the Hudson Horror Show last month that needs completing... among other things.)

Have a good weekend everybody and check back soon for new content!
