I am a huge Kane Hodder fan. For years, in fact, when anyone asked me "if you could meet anyone, who would it be" my answer was always an extremely quick – "Rob Zombie!" Which would then quickly be followed by – "Or, sh*t, Kane Hodder!"
I have yet to meet Rob Zombie personally (but I went to a concert), but I did have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Kane Hodder a few years back at Spooky Empire's Weekend of Horrors here in Orlando, Florida.
And Kane Hodder almost punched my face off. True story. But one for another time.
Anyhow, turns out there is a long overdue documentary about the man in the works. It's called TO HELL AND BACK: THE KANE HODDER STORY and we are excited as hell to report today that the flick has wrapped production and will be hitting the film festival circuit very soon!
TO HELL AND BACK: THE KANE HODDER STORY rundown:
Masterfully Macabre Entertainment (“MME”) announced today that they have put the final touches on their latest documentary, To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story. This in-depth biographical documentary on horror icon, Kane Hodder, features interviews with cinema legends, including Bruce Campbell (Ash vs. Evil Dead), Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger), and Cassandra Peterson (Elvira: Mistress of the Dark).
To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story has been submitted to some of the most prestigious and well-known film festivals around the world. Through a very successful Indiegogo campaign, Kane’s fans have made it clear that the horror genre is a sensation worldwide. With contributors from over 15 countries, To Hell and Back has obtained a diverse and widespread following. Masterfully Macabre Entertainment will present both domestic and international premieres and bring the highly anticipated documentary to audiences around the world.
To Hell and Back is a harrowing story of a stuntman overcoming a dehumanizing childhood filled with torment and bullying in Sparks, Nevada. After surviving a near-death burn accident, he worked his way up through Hollywood, leading to his ultimate rise as Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th series and making countless moviegoers forever terrified of hockey masks and summer camp. After decades of watching Kane Hodder on screen, get ready to meet the man behind the mask in To Hell and Back – an uniquely human story about one of cinema’s most vicious monsters.
I don't know if I even need to point this out but I'm going to anyhow for the cheap seats. Kane Hodder is known for playing Jason in FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VII: THE NEW BLOOD through JASON X. He is also known for portraying Victor Crowley in Adam Green's HATCHET series. But the man is much, much more than that.
