LOS ANGELES — You remember the obnoxious prankster Shelly from Friday the 13th Part 3. He is important to the franchise because he gave Jason Voorhees his signature hockey mask. The actor who plays him, Larry Zerner (now a lawyer), would love it if you came out to see the movie at The Academy Museum in Los Angeles on December 27.
He wrote on social media: “Here’s a sentence that I never thought that I would write. The Academy Museum is screening Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3-D on December 27th. If you’ve never seen it in 3-D, or just want to get away from the family after too much Christmas, come on out and watch Jason kill me and a dozen others. Merry Christmas!”
The third installment was released in 3-D originally and boy was it a fun time. You will see popping eyeballs, spear guns, and jumping snakes come right at you.
IMDb says the 3-D process at the time was groundbreaking:
“Part 3 was the first production to use the Marks 3-D system, and it was a constant learning process. The earliest scenes they filmed, such as the opening tracking shot and Shelly and the bikers at the convenience store, had to be completely re-shot due to difficulties with the 3D camera.
Plus, they had to be careful about which colors to include in costumes, and everything had to be lit far brighter than normal. It took hours to set-up individual shots meaning the actors on the film spent most of their time simply sitting around waiting for the next shot to be set-up, a common on-set experience for actors but just far longer than normal this time. This focus on 3D spilled over to the actors.
Initially, they were asked to learn how to use a paddle ball for a planned 3D sequence. When that was scrapped, they looked for any way the actors could do something that would play well in 3D, like Larry Zerner’s juggling or throwing a wallet straight at the camera, or another actor dropping a yo-yo down toward a camera. Indeed, many of the actors now recall that there was far more focus on finding cool 3D things for them to do than acting.”
