#FRIDAY THE 13TH THE GAME CREATORS MOVIE#
“Friday the 13th” is also the name of a commercially successful Hollywood movie series. Others choose to have parties with unlucky or creepy themes similar to Halloween. At Port Dover in Ontario, Canada, there is a big celebration for motorcyclists called PD13, which attracts large crowds. Some charities use Friday 13 for fundraising events. In Brazil, Friday the 13th in August is considered unluckier than any other Friday the 13th, especially as agosto (August) rhymes with desgosto (sorrow). It's also known as paraskevidekatriaphobia, which is based on paraskevi, the Greek word for Friday. The name of the phobia derives from Frigg, the Norse goddess whom Friday is named after, and triskaidekaphobia, which is Greek for the fear of 13. Symptoms of this phobia range from mild anxiety and a nagging sense of doom to full-blown panic attacks. Some people who have this disorder are even too afraid to say the words “Friday the 13th.” Others avoid flying on a plane, going to work, or even getting out of bed. However, you need to feel more than a little uneasy about the date to be diagnosed with friggatriskaidekaphobia, an actual psychological condition marked by a disabling fear of Friday the 13th.

To put it simply, they needed to stand out, but not in a negative way. I knew each new family member had to be unique and memorable, while at the same time looking like they belonged. This level of trust meant the world to me. Kim had several ideas for additional characters that never made it into the 1974 film, but ultimately he allowed us to create new Slaughter family members on our own. Luckily, Kim Henkel came through again to help us solve this issue. "As interesting as The Cook, Hitchhiker, and Leatherface are, three killers simply wouldn't be enough to sustain the game for long periods of time. "It was quickly apparent that we would need additional family members in order to create the type of team-based multiplayer experience we were after," Ronnie Hobbs, Creative Director, Gun Interactive said in a statement. Henkel worked with the team to develop the all-new killers that will be playable in the game, marking his first time working on the franchise proper since 1994's Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation. In a blogpost on the game's official website Gun confirmed that they wanted to make all-new characters that "fit seamlessly in with original favorites, while still focusing on accuracy and authenticity" and to do so they enlisted the help of none other than Kim Henkel, co-writer of the original movie with director Tobe Hooper.

Beyond the iconic Leatherface as a playable killer, Gun has confirmed that both The Cook and The Hitchhiker from the "Slaughter" Family will be playable in the game and that brand new killers members of the family will be introduced.
