He's responsible for bringing life to some of the horror genre's most memorable characters, but its his own story that is the most hair-raising and heartfelt. Ahead of its world premiere at FrightFest 2017, To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story is teased in a new trailer featuring interviews with several horror icons.
Directed by Derek Dennis Herbert, To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story will make its world premiere on August 26th at FrightFest 2017 in London. The film includes interviews with Hodder, Bruce Campbell, Robert Englund, Cassandra Petersen, Adam Green, Sean S. Cunningham, and more.
From FrightFest: "Meet the man behind the Jason Voorhees and Victor Crowley masks. Kane Hodder is cinema’s most prolific killer and this gut wrenching but inspiring documentary tells you why. It’s the harrowing story of the stuntman overcoming a dehumanizing childhood filled with torment and bullying. After surviving a near-death burn accident he rose up through Hollywood’s horror ranks to become Jason in the FRIDAY THE 13th series making countless movie goers forever terrified of hockey masks and summer camp. After decades of watching Kane Hodder on screen here’s the uniquely human story about one of the genre’s most vicious monsters."
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
