UPDATE:
Since FantaCon 2013 will be held on Friday the 13th weekend, What better guest than the very FIRST Jason from the original Friday the 13th movie!!
ARI LEHMAN is the actor/singer who has the unique honor of having played the role of the First Jason Voorhees
in the Paramount Classic Horror Film "Friday the 13th" (1980). The
original "Boy In The Lake" himself, Ari played a crucial role in the
film's famous final scene, in which he suddenly emerges from the icy
waters of Crystal Lake. Working with Special Effects Master Tom Savini
at an early age gave Ari a deep appreciation for the Horror Greats
including Lon Chaney, Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff and Vincent Price. Ari
currently records and tours the US and Europe with his Horror Rock Band,
FIRSTJASON.
Ari is a terrific guy and will be on hand both days of the show for autographs. He will also have some very special Friday the 13th memorabilia for sale!!
Many more horror and comic book guests will be announced over the summer. Watch for more updates!!
