And if you're a fan of Hodder's infamous "sleeping bag kill" from part VII, you're in for a treat, too.

When we spoke with the game's creators last October, Gun's Ronnie Hobbs said that the team wasn't worried about going beyond the pale in their version of Camp Crystal Lake.

"Going too over-the-top in the gore department isn't really a concern to us right now," Hobbs said. "In fact, the slasher genre is more about creative kills and practical effects than all-out gore. We have Tom Savini leading this department, so expect to us to be very faithful to the slasher genre. In the end, I'm sure the ESRB will make sure we don't go too far overboard."
