One of the things that come with a FRIDAY the 13th film is not only crazy kills, but also an insane amount of nudity. Everyone involved ensured the fans get a heavy does of both in an attempt to keep the integrity of the franchise intact.

"Besides being sort of true to the mythology, making Jason the greatest Jason that we possibly can. It's all about sex, drugs, violence," Shannon exclaims with a huge smile. " This is not the type of movie we're you got a couple of kids acting like Scooby-Doo to figure out some kind of a mystery. This is kids partying and Jason, more bad ass than ever, comes out and f**king does his thing. I think there still are a lot smart things we did underneath, but we tend to hide that. It just gotta flow and gotta happen fast."

Swift adds that there is an insane amount of nudity, maybe the most ever in a FRIDAY film. "We were just watching dailies and there's going to be, seriously, more nudity than any other Jason film ever," everyone's eye go wide, "It's literally crazy, and actually makes me - well, I was going to say uncomfortable - but I'm not uncomfortable… (laughs)"

Even though the film is said to be crazy bloody and violent, horror fans should know this isn't going to be filed under "torture porn". "I'm not a huge fan of like, 'torture porn' - I know that term isn't even in vogue anymore - but I miss horror movies from when I was a kid. I remember sneaking into [FRIDAY THE 13TH] Part II and it was a lot of fun… scary and fun.

Continuing on this thought is Brad Fuller, who clarifies that this is much different than their remake of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. "In my mind, TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE is a really dreary, dreary movie and there is no fun to be had in that movie, the fun is from being scared. In a FRIDAY THE 13TH movie we want the audience to laugh and have fun but at the same time be scared. So in this movie, there's a ton of sex, there's a ton of nudity, and there's a lot of drugs, drinking, and hopefully the violence is balanced out by the kids being in funny situations, saying or doing funny things." He continues, "If it works out that's the best case scenario - where you're laughing from the crazy things that are happening, and then when the actual scares happen, you're terrified."

After a few minutes of pure geek-out, Fuller talked more about the nudity and how important it is to the "DNA" of the film. "Listen. I think that for us, was very important to have nudity in this film. I feel like such a pervert in saying that, but the fact remains, these movies were putting beautiful women, topless or in short shorts at a time where that was very common. It's not common anymore, you just don't see sex in horror movies anymore. It's not as prevalent as it once was. When we were thinking about what this film had to be, yes, it has to be scary, yes, you have to have a group of fun kids but you also have to have nudity in a FRIDAY THE 13TH movie. It just is part of it, it's part of its DNA." He also jokes about how it's difficult to cast actresses for nude roles. "Frankly, it was one of the most challenging parts of the movie because hot, great actresses aren't eager to take off their clothes. Fortunately, we found some that were willing to do it." And fortunate for all of us…

Panabaker also thinks fans will enjoy the energy of the film, as opposed to the brutal qualities of films like SAW. "I think that audiences are really going to love seeing this movie. This is a movie that you enjoy going to," she continues, "I can't go and see the SAW movies because they are just so agonizing and torturous, and everything is always so down. This movie, for starters is hilarious. About every five pages people are going to just laugh out loud just because the characters are so great and authentic and relatable. It's incredibly humorous, I can't stress that enough."

Padalecki adds in his two-cents. "This is more fun than TEXAS CHAINSAW… a lot more fun. CHAINSAW was pretty uncomfortable from the get go. Here you get to meet the original group of characters and they're having a good time and their partying and it's not like immediately into dark and dreary and staying like that the whole time."

In the end, what was learned is that the entire team is trying to keep the integrity of the original films intact and that they all have a love for the franchise, and its characters. "We never wanted to any tarnish of the original mythology," Swift tells us. "We never wanted to reinvent Jason's back story. We don't want to change anything about his mother, we love all that stuff and we want to make sure that that stays intact."

Swift also explains that they loved the idea of going back to the original films because they were grounded in reality. "We want to see him by himself, back in the woods and being human again. Nothing supernatural." Shannon adds, "We knew this could be something gritty, this could be something lean and mean. Just make Jason down and dirty."

As the long night comes to a close you could hear Nispel screaming to the roof, "Hurry, hurry! The sun is coming!" As the sun rises over the hill and signals a new day, the morning begins with the aroma of a "fresh start" for a franchise that has been the heart of horror for nearly 30 years.
