Striker Entertainment enters a licensing agreement with Horror, Inc. and Friday 13th LLC. In this partnership, the licensing agency will oversee global consumer products for Jason Universe, which also includes Friday the 13th: The Game and Crystal Lake.
As this year marks the 45th anniversary of Jason Universe, Horror, Inc.’s Robert M. Barsamian and Robert P. Barsamian, and Friday 13th LLC’s Victor Miller and Marc Toberoff are collaborating with partners to develop new content for the horror franchise. Fans can expect an upcoming A24 project and a Peacock prequel series, Crystal Lake.
“As we started to look at the impactful ways to introduce Jason Universe to consumers, we knew that our strongest path forward would be with Striker Entertainment and their proven pedigree in the consumer products space,” says Sheri Conn, Global GM for Horror, Inc. “Their track record with genre IP ensures that fans will be able to experience Jason Universe in a unique way.”
“Striker has built its business and reputation representing some of the most iconic genre and horror IP in the business, but when it comes to the classic slasher icons, Jason is permanently carved into the Mt. Rushmore of horror. From Saw, The Walking Dead, Devil’s Rejects, Creepshow, Night of the Living Dead, and more, Striker is rooted in the genre and knows how to give fans what they want on a global basis. We cannot wait to see how Jason’s legacy continues with new content,” says Russell Binder, CEO of Striker Entertainment.
Consumers can expect more merchandise, entertainment, gaming, and immersive experiences in future announcements, with more information at strikerentertainment.com.
