DeskPop Entertainment Label Launches with First Film
"13 FANBOY"
Featuring Legendary Scream Queens & Horror Icons from Friday the 13th Films and Other Classics
DeskPop Entertainment has launched as a new independent film distribution label, and kicks off its debut with the October 22 release of the horror-thriller, 13 Fanboy. The film will have a day and date release in theaters, as well as premium video on demand.
13 Fanboy is about an obsessed fan, unable to distinguish fiction from reality, who stalks his favorite actors from the Friday the 13th films and beyond, terrorizing and killing them one by one like his idol, Jason Voorhees. The story follows Kelsie Voorhees, who as a child witnesses the murder of her grandmother, Friday the 13th actress Deborah Voorhees, at the hands of this crazed fanboy. As an adult, Kelsie discovers her grandmother isn’t the only victim, and the killer is still hunting his favorite cast members, as he can’t seem to separate the characters in the movies from their real-life personas.
“Horror fans are the best,” says director Deborah Voorhees, star of Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning, who also stars in the film as herself, “but every once in a while you get someone who feels scary.” When Voorhees met with veteran producer Joel Paul Reisig, the idea of a fan turning into a stalker frightened her. “There is that tiny unspoken fear inside that something like this could actually happen,” she says. “After several sleepless nights I realized that if it scared me this much, it would scare others too.”
Together Voorhees and Reisig wrote the script, then gathered up some of the most popular actors from the original Friday the 13th movies and other horror greats. The cast features actors and actresses from the Friday the 13th films, along with iconic scream queens playing fictionalized versions of themselves. The star lineup features Dee Wallace (E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Cujo), Cory Feldman (Lost Boys, Goonies, Stand by Me), Kane Hodder & C.J. Graham (Friday the 13th Series), and Judi Aronson (Weird Science, Friday the 13th).
