Crystal Lake: “It was time to bring justice to Jason’s mom!”

Creator Brad Kane talks to us about Crystal Lake, less a prequel to Friday the 13th than a rereading of the saga from Pamela Voorhees’ point of view.

What made Pamela Voorhees the mother of all slashers? This is the question that Brad Kane wanted to answer with Crystal Lakenew series derived from the saga Friday the 13thwhich presents itself more as a rereading of the first opus than as a prequel strictly speaking. Meet the man who put Pamela Voorhees back at the center of the summer camp.

PREMIERE: What is your personal relationship with the first films Friday the 13th ?
BRAD KANE: The first film in the saga that I saw was Friday the 13th Part IIIreleased in 3D in cinemas in 1982 (Murders in 3 dimensionsfrom its French title). I was much too young… I must have been 8 years old! I clearly remember Jason crushing a guy’s head and his eyes popping out in 3D through the screen (laughs). I remember that everyone in the room, around me, was hysterical. And I started to tell myself that if these kinds of films were capable of causing such excitement in people, this was what I had to do! SO Friday the 13ththat’s probably the reason why I make films and series today…..
