Jason Universe Sweet Revenge is the bloody new short debuting as part of Friday the 13th’s 45th anniversary celebration. The Jason Universe project was revealed to be “Sweet Revenge.” The “Friday the 13th”-inspired Jason Universe appears to be expanding in many ways soon.
Produced by “Friday the 13th” franchise owner Horror, Inc., the new Jason Universe project is a bloody short-form vignette titled “Sweet Revenge” and it’s set as “the centerpiece of the franchise’s bold 45th anniversary campaign.”
According to the description for “Sweet Revenge,” “fans will drop into a chilling weekend in the woods filled with blood-soaked surprises only Jason can deliver.” Mike P. Nelson is writing, directing, and producing through his Rockford Road Pictures banner. The new Jason Universe Sweet Revenge short film marks a fresh take on the Friday the 13th franchise.

Production on “Sweet Revenge” began earlier this month and the project is set to debut on both the Jason Universe YouTube channel and through a site hosted by Angry Orchard Hard Cider, which is sponsoring the vignette as part of a larger collaboration with the franchise. Fans can expect a new kind of horror as Jason Universe Sweet Revenge debuts with support from Angry Orchard.
This expansion of the Jason Universe fits in well with the inclusion of this franchise at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood. Horror, Inc.’s “Friday the 13th” franchise is aiming for a big resurgence tied to the original film’s 45th anniversary.

“I am so grateful that the team at Horror, Inc. saw something in ‘Sweet Revenge’ and wanted it as a part of the Jason Voorhees story!” Nelson said. “And to think 30 years ago I was trying to secretly watch these movies on VHS when no one was looking. To have the opportunity to write and direct one of these stories is surreal – not to mention having an amazing team led by Chad Villella and Brianna Lee Johnson help me bring it to life! Not only is the vignette a new take on the beloved IP, it is a comforting, gory hug, reminding us why we fell in love with these movies. Much gruesome fun awaits you!”
Friday 13th LLC’s Marc Toberoff added: “Jason has always been a force in pop culture, and the 45th anniversary felt like the perfect moment to do something truly unexpected. Partnering with Horror, Inc. and Angry Orchard who share our passion has opened up a new way to engage fans. It’s exciting to see the franchise evolve with such creativity while staying true to what makes Jason iconic.”
“We were beyond excited when Mike Nelson came on board and Angry Orchard sponsored production to help us bring this to life in a wickedly unexpected way,” Horror, Inc. chief marketing officer Sheri Conn said. “Even in a short vignette, Nelson will masterfully capture our shared vision–honoring the heritage of the franchise while delivering something fresh and thrilling for a new generation.”
