As a child, Kelsie Voorhees witnesses the murder of her grandmother, Friday the 13th actress Deborah Voorhees, at the hands of a crazed fanboy. As an adult, she discovers her grandmother isn’t the only victim and the killer is still out there searching for his favorite Friday the 13th cast members and iconic scream queens to slaughter, mirroring his idol Jason Voorhees, as he still can’t seem to separate the characters in the movies from their real-life personas.”

13 Fanboy Is Directed by a Friday the 13th Franchise Star
Paramount Pictures
13 Fanboy is directed by Deborah Voorhees (Billy Shakespeare, Catching Up, Othello: Good Night My Sweet) and is co-written by Voorhees and producer Joel Paul Reisig. Voorhees, who appears as herself in the film as well, is also known for playing one of the victims in Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning. Voorhees was inspired to develop 13 Fanboy based on real-life creepy encounters she’d had with fans.
“Horror fans are the best,” Voorhees said in a statement, “but every once in a while, you get someone who feels scary. I’ve received texts saying, ‘He’s watching you right now,’ or ‘wouldn’t it be cool if you were killed like you died in the film?’ After several sleepless nights, I realized that if it scared me this much, it would scare others too. I had been looking for a film for horror fans for a while. It just feels like it is the time for this film. Initially, I planned to only direct, but with Reisig’s encouragement I took on a role. Admittedly, I was a little nervous playing a role that feels so real.”
13 Fanboy will be available to own on DVD courtesy of Mill Creek Entertainment on March 8, 2022. The film is also now available to rent or purchase on demand.
