5 Reasons Jason Voorhees Is One of the Greatest Slashers
Slasher movies, much like their monsters, never seem to die. The genre's foundations were laid by films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and solidified by John Carpenter's infamous Halloween. Since those days, we've seen hundreds of masked murderers, supernatural and otherwise, be labeled as slashers. While many of their myths have faded into obscurity, there are several names that stand tall. Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Chuckie, Leatherface. But perhaps the most recognizable, and one of the most infamous among them, is the hockey-masked avatar of teenage demise Jason Voorhees.

Sharpen those claws and get ready for playtime, because Hollywood has just unloaded possibly its best idea since James Gunn decided to put David Hasselhoff on the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack.

Lemmy vs Pinhead in 'Hellraiser/Motorhead' Crossover Video is Every Fan's Dream!
While the internet is awash with news on the upcoming Hellraiser sequel/reboot I'm more interested in checking out Hellraisers past, like the time Lemmy fought Pinhead. I can hear you saying what?

They naturally got to make a rock video to play on MTV and it just so happens they managed to get Doug Bradley to play his cenobite alter ego Pinhead.
