The meta-approach isn't new (Wes Craven tackled it well in A New Nightmare and the insanely popular Scream franchise), but what sets 13 fan apart is that it feels like a fan film with purpose. Directed and co-written by Deborah Voorhees, whose starring role in the 1980s' Friday the 13th: A New Beginning made her a horror staple, this slasher film is a must for fans of the franchise as well as anyone who enjoys meta-horror storytelling.

As a homage to the Friday the 13th series, 13 fan uses practical effects rather than CGI technology. The film opted for the services of special effects artist Norah Hewitt, who won the ninth season of the television show Faceoff and was recommended by the famed effects master Tom Savini.

With its many familiar faces, 13 fan is a must-see for fans of the franchise as well as anyone that enjoys meta-horror storytelling. Using a successful crowdfunding campaign, 13 fan has managed to secure funding and will be released on October 22nd for theatrical and On Demand release.

Several of the actors and actresses from the Friday the 13th franchise will be featured in 13 fan, including Dee Wallace, Deborah Voorhees, C.J. Graham, Kane Hodder, Lar Park Lincoln, Judie Aronson and Tracie Savage. They play stylized characterizations of themselves and appear alongside Hayley Greenbauer, who plays Kelsie Voorhees, and the rest of the cast.

There's a lot of love and respect for the horror community behind 13 fan, which makes it a unique film. It's not afraid to tackle topics such as stalking and celebrity worship, but it also doesn't overdo it.

The film's plot is centered on a fan who is determined to replicate the deaths of the characters in the Friday the 13th series, leading them to be targeted by a masked killer. The surviving cast members must band together and figure out who is behind the attack before it's too late.

In a lot of the movie, the murderer is wearing a costume that is similar to the characters they've killed in the movies, such as Jason Voorhees's iconic mask. It's a clever reference to the horror legend's signature makeup, but it's not overly ham-fisted, and instead feels appropriate for this type of narrative.

This also helps to explain why the film doesn't rely on gore for most of its scares. The majority of the death scenes in the movie are done in a realistic fashion, which allows the audience to connect with the characters more easily.

Another interesting aspect of 13 fan is that it takes advantage of the convention scene for its narrative, with many of the stars from the Friday the 13th franchise going to various conventions and being greeted by fans. It also features some cameos from many of these fans.
