Jason Voorhees' (Kane Hodder) screen-matched costume 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. Jason wore his highly distressed costume throughout the film after being inadvertently released from his tomb at the bottom of Camp Crystal Lake by telekinetic teenager Tina Shephard (Lar Park Lincoln). Tears on the bottom of each trouser leg screen match to the moment Jason pulls the machete out from a tree after killing Dan (Michael Schroeder). The placement of rips and marks on the shirt's left shoulder screenmatch to just before Jason is electrocuted in a puddle.

The costume in this installment was the most torn-up to feature in the film series, and this example is believed to be one of four complete costumes worn on screen. The green workwear set consists of a shirt and trousers (size 34) that are highly distressed with various rips and staining. Hodder wore an undersuit covered in skin appliances designed to emulate rotting bones and flesh beneath these garments. "A" is handwritten inside the trouser waistband, indicating that this version was the main hero version. Effects coordinator Lou Carlucci also altered this attire for the electrocution scene. The lot exhibits pyrotechnic squibs and burn spots on the shirt and trousers. Foam and glue remnants from the undersuit exhibit inside both garments, and the costume retains a musty odor.

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: $20,000 - 40,000
