Never Hike Alone the Indie Friday the 13th Fan Film Raised It’s Indigogo Goal of $13,000 in 20 minutes After Going Live-Fitz of Horror
The highly anticipated Never Hike Alone Indigogo campaign to bring the beloved 54 minute fan film to physical media for our collections reached its production goal of $13,000 in just 20 minutes after the campaign went live this morning. I’m not sure if this is a record or not but damn that was fast!! Congratulations to all involved.
As of now there are just over 25o Blu rays left out of 450 so if you want one I would suggest robbing the piggy bank and picking one up before they eventually hit eBay for ridiculous prices!
Arguably the best F13 fan film to date, Never Hike Alone is breaking new ground by bringing a fan film with a horror icon that is owned via copyright by 3 huge film studios, to a distributed physical format. Hopefully this starts a trend because some of these fan films are amazing.
Synopsis-A hiker’s survival skills are put to the test, when he stumbles upon the remains of an old abandoned camp and discovers its long dark secrets. (Run time 54 minutes)
Starting Thursday March 15th at 12pm EST / 9am PST, WOMP STOMP FILMS will officially kicked off their Indigogo campaign to raise $13,000 to cover physical media production cost, packaging and shipping. Estimated delivery of goods is June.
Statement from Womp Stomp Films-
Jason Voorhees fans better mark their calendars for March 15, 2018 because Never Hike Alone: A Friday the 13th Fan Film is coming to Indiegogo for a one time only home video release campaign.
For a contribution of $20, fans will receive a combo Blu Ray and DVD package of Never Hike Alone. Bonus features will include a theatrical 5.1 surround sound mix, behind the scene photos, interviews with the cast and crew, and more.
Other items available during the campaign will include the Never Hike Alone Soundtrack, Poster, Limited Edition VHS, screen replica “Ghost Hock” masks, and a one of a kind 1/6 scale “Ghost Jason” Action Figure.
The campaign will officially launch at 12pm EST / 9am PST. Supplies will be limited so make sure to secure your copy of Never Hike Alone early before it’s too late.
Upon the completing the production of physical media, Womp Stomp Films will be donating all left over campaign funding to the United Way’s Thomas Fire Victim Relief Fund.
Besides the Blu ray combo pack that is available these guys are pulling no punches when it comes to giving the fans what they want, including a one of a kind (literally there is only one available) Jason Voorhees 12” action figure.
I am really excited to be able to add this to my Friday the 13th collection and as I said before, I hope this opens the door for other fan films to get the recognition they deserve. Because it is a fan film though it is available on YouTube for free but if you’re like me you will want this in your physical collection and in high definition. Below is the trailer and the full film.

I am a huge fan and supporter of independent horror and the dedicated people involved. I grew up watching all of the great slasher films of the 80s and also have a love for creature features and anthology horror. As horror fans the best way to help indie horror is to talk about it and to spread the word.
