FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VII: THE NEW BLOOD (1988) - Mario Kirner Collection: Jason Voorhees' (Kane Hodder) Stunt Undersuit - Jason Voorhees' (Kane Hodder) stunt undersuit from John Carl Buechler's slasher sequel Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood. This lot comes from the personal collection of Friday the 13th collector and historian Mario Kirner. This suit was used for the stunt where Jason was set on fire in the cabin basement by telekinetic teenager Tina Shephard (Lar Park Lincoln), as well as the electrocution scene.

At the time, Hodder set a new record for the longest on-camera controlled burn and was on fire for forty seconds.

Hodder wore this suit and a pair of fire-resistant underwear as protection underneath his costume. The undersuit consists of brown mechanic coveralls (size Large) with adhered silicone ribcage and rotten skin appliances. Director Buechler chose silicone as the material for the appliances so they would last longer under heat. Strips of hook-and-loop fasteners are attached down the front. The lot exhibits significant wear and damage caused by the fire.

This lot comes from the Friday the 13th Props Museum collection of Mario Kirner. The Museum was created as a private collection that showcased not only Jason's iconic hockey mask, but also a number of other movie props, costumes and additional materials that were used during the production of the Friday the 13th movies.

An avid contributor in the screen-used prop and costume collecting field for more than 20 years, Mario Kirner has been a dedicated in his work and efforts to help to transform what was once a niche hobby into an popular culture phenomenon. Mario is not just a collector, but a true historian and curator of all things Jason Voorhees and Friday the 13th, also publishing a book dedicated to showcasing the museum's content and their stories.

Estimate: $5,000 - 10,000
