NEW YORK — New Line Cinema is pulling an April Fool’s joke on Friday the 13th fans.

When users try to access information on the Web site for Jason X ( http://www.jasonx.com ), they will be greeted by an error message. Upon closer inspection, they will read, “The requested URL/jasonx.com has been mysteriously dismembered and is no longer operational on this server.” Within seconds, the text will begin to “bleed” and the site will reveal maniac Jason, offering quick glimpses of the movie through his hockey mask.
