We are just days away from the August 13 online (and in person<\/a>) premiere of Sweet Revenge<\/a>, a short-form vignette from the Jason Universe that will officially bring Jason Voorhees back to the screen for the first time since 2009. It will also serve to introduce the brand new Jason Voorhees character design, which was unveiled with concept artwork earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Makeup effects master Greg Nicotero helped the Jason Universe team redesign Jason Voorhees for upcoming merch and marketing activations like Sweet Revenge, with the goal to \u201cmaintain Jason\u2019s original essence.\u201d Horror Inc\u2019s Rob Barsamian promised in a statement back in May that we\u2019d be getting \u201ca defined look and feel that takes Jason into his next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking with ComicBook.com<\/a>, Greg Nicotero himself offered up some thoughts on the fresh new design at San Diego Comic-Con late last month. Nicotero explains, \u201cThey said, \u2018We want to reimagine him.\u2019 And so we did this new mask, then we did a new Jason.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re like, \u2018He\u2019s not a zombie, so he\u2019s not going to be rotted.\u2019 We landed somewhere between Part 2 &\u00a0Part 3,\u201d Nicotero adds. \u201cIt was a lot of fun. It\u2019s fun for me to revisit those.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s interesting to note that Greg Nicotero has a history with the Friday the 13th franchise, with his KNB EFX team working on Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday back in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

The new Jason Voorhees mask features thirteen holes in reference to Jason\u2019s favorite day, and it\u2019s also expected to be featured in upcoming TV series \u201cCrystal Lake\u201d from A24 and Peacock.<\/p>\n

But first up is Sweet Revenge, which puts Schuyler White behind the mask. Stay tuned\u2026<\/p>\n
