“Did you know a young boy drowned the year before those two others were killed? The counselors weren’t paying any attention”

Ari Lehman, the actor responsible for one of the most infamous jump scares in horror history, will be signing autographs from 1pm-3pm on Saturday May 29th at the ‘I Had That’ Collectibles Shop in Belleville, IL That’s located at 120 East Main Street in Belleville, IL. The ‘I Had That’ Facebook page with updates and more info can be founHERE. Ari’s autograph is $30 and I Had That will have some cool new FRIDAY THE 13th merch for sale that he will sign as well.

Ari Lehman was only 15 when he appeared as young Jason Voorhees in the original Friday the 13th. Ironically, Jason’s appearance wasn’t even part of the original screenplay (which ended with Alice floating on Crystal Lake in a canoe); it was suggested by special FX guru Tom Savini, who worked extensively on the film.

In the years since, Lehman has parlayed his brief-yet-iconic appearance into a musical career as the frontman of the heavy metal band First Jason. He’s also got his own line of hot sauce!
