To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story is a 2017 American documentary film co-produced and directed by Derek Dennis Herbert.
Production company Masterfully Macabre Entertainment provide the following synopsis:
“To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story is the harrowing story of a stuntman overcoming a dehumanising childhood filled with torment and bullying in Sparks, Nevada.
After surviving a near-death burn accident, he worked his way up through Hollywood, leading to his ultimate rise as Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th series and making countless moviegoers forever terrified of hockey masks and summer camp.
Featuring interviews with cinema legends, including Bruce Campbell (Ash vs. Evil Dead), Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger), and Cassandra Peterson (Elvira: Mistress of the Dark), To Hell and Back peels off the mask of Kane Hodder, cinema’s most prolific killer, in a gut-wrenching, but inspiring, documentary.
Hatchet director Adam Green
After decades of watching Kane Hodder on screen, get ready to meet the man behind the mask in To Hell and Back – an uniquely human story about one of cinema’s most vicious monsters.”
The film features interviews with Danielle Harris, Sid Haig, Zach Galligan, Bill Moseley, Felissa Rose, Adam Green, Sean S. Cunningham, John Carl Buechler and many others.
To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story is being shown at the Horror Channel FrightFest in London on 26 August 2017.
