About Us Hey yo, that's us, Matt and A.J., the webmasters of this site. We grew up together in Pennsylvania, and we took a liking to the Friday the 13th movies when were young. We followed the course of the movies as we grew up, and when we first started noticing Friday the 13th websites pop up in the dawn of the Internet age, we thought, "hey, we can do better than any of them." So, in January 1999, I signed up for our very first Internet account, voorheeslair, on the Tripod server. It took quite a bit of planning and a hell of a lot of work, but our dream was finally realized in June 2000 when the first incarnation of Friday the 13th: Jason's Lair hit the Internet. I personally think we did better than any of the other sites out there, and we certainly update a lot more than the other sites. Anyhow, a lot of people would tell us that our site was too much like the other sites, and that we needed something to make it unique and that separated it from all the rest. That's when we included the information on the Eric Morse young adult novels, published in 1994. At the time we put it up, NOBODY had anything even remotely close to what we did in dedicating a section of our site to it. Now, because everybody steals our stuff, the Morse novel information is common, but we were the originators. After doing the novel sections, we decided to go a step further, to write our own story based on Jason. Dubbed "Return to Crystal Lake," we tried our hand at writing the ultimate Friday the 13th tribute story, and I think that's what really put us on the map. Over 400,000 hits and 3 novel sequels later, I'd say we're a big success. That success helped us create a new website dedicated to the Halloween film series in 2001. "Halloween: The Lair of Michael Myers" hit the net on October 31, 2001. It was completely identical to Jason's Lair in its coverage of the Halloween film series, and we've managed over 200,000 hits to date on there. With the success of those two sites, we decided to launch one last lair to the remaining film series we followed growing up-- Freddy Krueger and the Nightmare on Elm Street. Originally launched in 2002, this one has proven the toughest to complete, as it has been the victim of hacking and lost servers. After trying Tripod, Dreamwater, and now Freehomepages, Freddy's Lair, in its 5th version, has once again hit the Net in 2004, and made our horror trilogy complete. In closing, there are a number of sites out there jealous of ours and others who are looking to make a name off of us by stealing our stuff. If you think you'll get away with it, you're wrong. We will find you and we will shut your site down. Stealing our stuff and calling it your own is wrong and illegal. I don't know how you can sleep at night. All the information contained on our websites is copyrighted by us, and while Paramount and New Line own the series and all images, they were indeed scanned by us, so they technically belong to us. So, if you're thinking about stealing, think again. We have a watermark embedded in all our images, so we'll know who steals them. There are many imitators, but there is only one true Lair. Up and running in our 5th year, our persistence has paid off, and we are here 4 Life. If you don't like that, we got two words for ya.... Back to Jason's Lair
