Kane Hodder. To fans, this name is synonymous with horror, an icon on the level of Bela Legosi, Boris Karloff and Vincent Price.

I have been a Kane Hodder fan for many years - apparently more than I realized. He has performed stunt work in everything from "Emergency" & "Wonder Women" up to the iconic monster Jason from "Friday the 13th". His newest character - Victor Crowley - is soon to rival any big screen horror icon.However, that's only half the story. Kane Hodder is absolutely nothing like the characters he plays. And I can attest to this - I've met the man. He absolutely LOVES his fans, talking almost twice the amount of time to talk with then at conventions than most celebrities. He helps mentally heal burn victims (being one himself) and even picked a fan up out of his wheelchair to carry him through a haunted house when Kane found out it wasn't wheelchair accessible.Even if you know NOTHING of horror movies - or even who Kane Hodder is - you need to make this book a top priority on your reading list. It is funny, open, graphic (explaining his burns) and inspirational. I've read it multiple times already. Don't hesitate. Buy it. Read it. Then go out and meet the man like I did.
When my long awaited,pre ordered book arrived, I sat down and read it cover to cover. Having loved Kane's work since the early 80's, I had always wanted a peek of the man behind the mask (or butcher's apron..). This book will make you laugh,cry and fall in love with Kane all over again! The pics alone make the book a MUST HAVE. This is the hottest man on the planet...even when he is rocking a 1974 long haired hippie " but I'm still gonna kill u" hair do! Seriously..treat yourself and your loved ones to this gem of a book!
As Kane's story begins, he starts off with a traumatic beating he took at a young age by three unknown teenagers. The beating left him temporarily bruised and mentally scarred for the rest of his life. He goes on to describe many other bullying events or fights that happened in his life as well. I was utterly shocked at the beating he took as a child from unknown teenagers, for NO apparent reason.He goes on to describe how he got into the movie business and he also tells the real story about how he got 3rd degree burns over 50% of his body. Honestly, it was very emotional for me to read...I look up to him for the fact that he was able to get through it all and make something of himself, as well as help others with their burns.Kane goes on to talk about his strange OCD habits and movies he's worked on as well as different people he's worked with in the industry..and in the last few chapters he goes on to tell different stories from the sets of the Friday The 13th films he worked on as well as stories from the sets of Hatchet 1 & 2 and Frozen. Mainly they are stories about all the jokes he played on people during filming...and trust me there are a lot. Seeing that he's such a big jokester I'm sure he probably left out a ton.If you are a fan of Kane's you need to read this!This review has been trimmed down from my longer review posted on Shivers of Horror - a Horror movie/book review blog.

Great read with a wonderful insight into a man that always plays the bad guy. Shows that this suppossed 'bad' man is a woonderful human being with a great sense of humor. If you like horror movies, this book is for you.
Shocked!! Not just for horror fans. A must read for anyone that has ever/will ever struggle through any adversity. I love his honesty...even as he describes himself and his own feelings. As a Professional Firefighter I was spellbound by his vivid descriptions of being a burn victim/survivor. Copies of this book will stay on my shelf to be given as life changing gifts to other survivors.
Acting, stunting, and most importantly entertaining, you could really say that Mr. Hodder has done quite a lot in his time on the movie screen. This man has been through so much in his life including being bullied and even being burned but his ability to just keep going and never quit is truly a marvel that we should all learn to take up ourselves. This book has it all from Kane and it has all been captured by the one and only Michael Aloisi. If you are a fan of the man who has portrayed Jason Voorhees in four films from the Friday the 13th franchise and Victor Crowley in three films from the Hatchet franchise, then you definitely know what you are getting yourself into when you read this book!
My Son has enjoyed reading his book about Kane Hodder,he is a big fan of Kane Hodder and was very excited to get this book. If your are a fan and love the friday the 13th movies this is a great book to read about Kane's life.
Kane's story is incredible. The way he overcame obstacles & never stopped chasing his dreams. I love how intelligent & expressive he would be. right in the middle of beautiful thoughts & reminisce BAM there's a curse word thrown in for good measure. I love the pranks, especially the Kane dummy trick. I loved the book and am liking the interviews and video shorts he & Aloisi are doing together. ican't wait to read the Killer & I.
