DRAMA: Hamlet, Macbeth and now Jason Voorhees Make Their Mark in the Top Five
Hamlet, Macbeth, Walter Lee Younger, Willy Loman?and hockey-masked serial killer Jason Voorhees: The Drama Bestsellers Chart makes for these strange bedfellows, as Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th, by Peter M. Bracke, joins the Drama Top Five. The book includes interviews
with 11 of the slasher flicks' cast members?including Kevin Bacon, Robert Englund and Corey Feldman?and more than 500 photos of the on- and off-screen action. Bracke, a Friday the 13th expert, has appeared on audio commentaries on the Warner Bros. DVD of Friday the 13th and Paramount Home Entertainment's From Crystal Lake to Manhattan. He's also moderated numerous Friday the 13th panels at conventions across the country. Crystal Lake Memories debuted at No. 2 on the Drama Chart this week, sitting between two other blood-soaked titles with just a little more history: Shakespeare's Hamlet (No. 1) and Macbeth (No. 3).
