FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VIII: JASON TAKES MANHATTAN (1989) - Mario Kirner Collection: Crew Sweater - A crew sweater from the production of Rob Hedden's slasher sequel Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. The black sweatshirt (size "L") features a printed image of a hockey mask and Manhattan's cityscape above the film's title with a red "Vancouver" cancel stamp across the word Manhattan. Custom crew sweaters like these were made for the crew due to the production mostly being filmed in Vancouver. Also included is a behind-the-scenes photograph and a letter of authenticity from a crew member who was gifted the sweater at the end of production. The sweatshirt exhibits fading and shrinkage from age and use.

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: $300 - 600
