Horror icon Jason Voorhees makes officially return to screen for the first time since 2009's Friday the 13th reboot – but it's not for a movie or TV show

Friday the 13th.

Horror villain Jason Voorhees is up there with Halloween's Michael Myers and Scream's Ghostface, despite not having been canonically seen on screen since Friday the 13th's maligned reboot in 2009. It's exciting, then, that the camp-haunting creep has returned – in a 13-minute short that's actually a marketing campaign for themed cider.

Titled 'Sweet Revenge', the film, which you can watch below, was helmed by V/H/S 8/5 and Wrong Turn's Mike P. Nelson, and has been described as a "vignette" by the official Jason Universe team. Its purpose? To introduce Voorhees' fresh redesign and the franchise's new branding, as well as encouraging people to look out for Angry Orchard's 12-can Thriller Pack this spooky season.
