Kane Hodder, known for playing Jason Voorhees in numerous Friday the 13th installments, made a shocking announcement this morning via You Tube.

It’s an announcement sure to devastate legions horror fans and followers worldwide. Hear Hodder explain his transition in the heartfelt confessional below.
Suckers! I guess Friday the 13th is the new April Fools’ Day!
The video is actually a tie-in to the documentary, To Hell and Back: The Kane Hodder Story; it’s being produced by Masterfully Macabre Entertainment . The film is currently in the midst of a furious Indiegogo campaign, hoping to raise $50K by May 25th; so far, they’ve been pledged just over $16K. Obviously, they’ve got some hard work ahead of them.
