Ahead of its FrightFest premiere later this month, Masterfully Macabre Entertainment has released a poster and trailer for the documentary To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story, which explores the life of horror legend Kane Hodder, known for his roles in the likes of Friday the 13th and Hatchet. Check them out here…
Kane Hodder proudly boasts that he has “murdered more people on film than any actor in history,” a fact only further amplified in the trailer by a brutal montage of some of his most infamous kills. Horror veterans Adam Green (Hatchet) and Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street) describe how Kane’s iconic size and movement helped create his legendary performance as Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th films. Bruce Campbell (Ash Vs. Evil Dead) turns the common perception of villains on its head by revealing, “most of the people that I’ve met who play heroes are assholes, and most of the people who play really bad people are nice guys.” In a candid moment, Cassandra Peterson (Elvira: Mistress of the Dark) empathizes with Kane’s brutal burn accident, adding, “to go through what he’s gone through, I can’t even imagine.” Kane and Michael Aloisi (co-Author of Unmasked) describe the tragic events leading up to the horrific fire accident that forever changed Kane’s life.
To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story will receive its world premiere on August 26th 2017.
