History Trivia / FridayThe13thTheSeries

** London-born veteran actress Kate Reid, long known for many great Shakespearean appearances as well as the matinee portrayal of Martha in ''Theatre/WhosAfraidOfVirginiaWoolf'', a remake of ''Theatre/DeathOfASalesman'' alongside Creator/DustinHoffman (later adapted to TV), and so much more, appropriately enough plays aging actress Lili Lita in "Femme Fatale."

** Character actor [[Series/{{Bonanza}} Val]] [[Series/{{Rawhide}} Avery]] in a rather moving performance as the brokendown, vengeful cop in "Badge of Honor."

** Canadian supermodel Creator/MonikaSchnarre appeared in "Face of Evil" as one of the model the villain burns with an AerosolFlamethrower and in "Epitaph for a Lonely Soul" as the woobie-ish resurrected victim of the mortician.

** Canadian supermodel Creator/MonikaSchnarre appeared in "Face of Evil" as one of the models the villain kills and "Epitaph for a Lonely Soul" as the woobie-ish resurrected victim of the mortician.

** Creator/KateTrotter appeared as the ambitious Penitite Effie Stokes who uses the "Quilt of Hathor", the ambitious Dr. Avril Carter who uses the cathedral radio in "And New the News", and, in a turn to a sympathetic role, Micki's friend Anne Holloway who runs a homeless shelter in "Repetition".

** Other recurring actors were Lynne Cormack (playing desperate/cruel mothers or stepmothers), Tom [=McManus=] (as a vampire and a ruthless antiques collector), Ingrid Veninger (once as a homely villain, once as a homeless girl who witnesses a murder), Angelo Rizacos (sometimes sympathetic, sometimes sadistic, but always unsettling and creepy), Susannah Hoffman (played a doomed LoveInterest in both "The Baron's Bride" and "Wax Magic"), Neil Munro (playing a doctor in "Better Off Dead" and a mortician in "Epitaph for a Lonely Soul", plus one unexpected turn in the [[CutShort unintended]] series finale as the Creator/MarquisDeSade), and Bernard Behrens, a character actor in several bit parts (including General Robert E. Lee).

* CastingGag:
** Among Val Avery's many roles are his turns on TheWestern TV series ''Series/{{Bonanza}}'' and ''Series/{{Rawhide}}'', both of which cast him as a sheriff. The episode he appears in not only has him cast as [[HeWhoFightsMonsters a bitter and vengeful policeman]] whose glory days are long gone (and would thus fit in any number of TwilightOfTheOldWest pieces), but revolves around an actual Old West sheriff's badge as the cursed artifact.
** Later reversed with Ryan's actor, John D. [=LeMay=]. Four years later after he left the show, he was one of the lead characters in ''Film/JasonGoesToHellTheFinalFriday''. Amusingly, the author of ''The Mask of Jason Voorhees'' (described below under WhatCouldHaveBeen) turned this into a case of CanonWelding by having his film character, Steven Freeman, ''be'' Ryan grown back to adulthood and with new memories of a different life after the events of "The Prophecies". (His memories return after the events of the film, causing him to become obsessed with Jason and his mask so that his ex-wife and daughter leave him.)
** Barclay Hope, previously playing Micki's fiance Lloyd, returns as the boyfriend of a deceased woman who is brought back from the dead by a mortician in "Epitaph for a Lonely Soul"; his appearance is not remarked on, but Micki is inordinately concerned for his welfare and very upset when he is murdered.
** Similarly, the fact Wayne Best had appeared as both the original owner of "The Playhouse" and the mentalist in "Stick It in Your Ear" makes it rather amusing that his role as Brock in "Jack-in-the-Box" casts him as an old friend of Micki's never met prior to this.

** Creator/JamesRusso as the [[Franchise/ThePhantomOfTheOpera Phantom]] {{Expy}}, Janos Korda, in "Symphony in B#"--not that you could tell thanks to the mask and makeup, other than one photo pre-accident.

#"13 O'Clock": A pocket watch that freezes time for one hour, so long as the user is in a particular subway station and holding it at 1 AM.

** Creator/RobertSilverman appeared in two episodes – in "Faith Healer," as Jack's friend Jerry has made a life of criticizing and debunking frauds and charlatans (including the titular VillainOfTheWeek), and in "Hate on Your Dial," as the mentally disabled older brother of a violent racist.
