Live from the Alamo Drafthouse in downtown Los Angeles, Aaron Ross interviews "Jason Goes to Hell" director, Adam Marcus, to find out what it's like to take over a legendary horror franchise in your early 20's. Adam regales about the changes he made to the film, including doing away with the mask, the introduction of the HCU (horror cinematic universe), and how Evil Dead/Freddy made cameos in his film.

Adam Marcus is an American film director, writer and actor.

Marcus was born in Westport, Connecticut and attended Staples High School. He started his career at the age of fifteen, when he co-created the Westport Theatreworks Theatrical Company where he directed and produced over fifty shows in seven years. He then attended New York University where he won the coveted Best Picture Award at the Student Academy Awards in 1990 for his film, "...so you like this girl". In 1991, Marcus was called out to Los Angeles by filmmaker Sean S. Cunningham (the director of the original Friday the 13th) to work on producing and directing features. That same year, he co-produced Johnny Zombie (retitled My Boyfriend's Back) for Cunningham and Disney Studios.

In 1993, Marcus wrote the story for and directed the ninth film in the Friday the 13th series, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday for New Line. He was 23 at the time and the youngest director ever hired by the studio. The three million dollar feature went on to gross over eighteen million domestically and became one of New Line Video's largest releases ever.
