With talks of a Friday the 13th revival in the wake of a longstanding legal battle, Terrifier 2 director Damien Leone threw his name in the ring to bring Jason Voorhees back to life.In an interview with /Film, Leone opened up on his own horror awakenings, citing Jason as his all-time favorite horror villain along with his desire to helm a film starring the hockey-masked slasher. Though he admittedly did not have an actual pitch for the film, the director said his Friday the 13th film would be a period piece set during the early 1980s in which he would attempt to make Jason “scary” again, a quality he believes the character has lost over time. “I feel like that’s something they kind of lost as the movies went along,” Leone said. “You just start getting too comfortable with these villains and you need to be scared of them again.”Without a specific plot synopsis, Leone’s description does not say much about what the film’s story may look like outside the usual franchise tropes, such as the summer camp setting and focus on teenage characters. However, fans can get a look at Leone’s ultra-gory directing and storytelling in his Terrifier films, which are extremely low-budget splatter films involving a sadistic clown who stalks and tortures his victims.Related: Friday the 13th Reboot Writers Reveal Brutal Kill From Unmade Sequel
