The first Friday The 13th movie was released in 1980, and it spawned 11 sequels. Horror movie fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of the complete collection on Blu-ray, and it was definitely worth the wait. The set comes with some great bonus features, including a brand new documentary called “Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th”. There is no confirmation that a new Friday the 13th movie is in the works, but the rumors are enough to get fans of the franchise excited. The last movie in the franchise was not well-received, but a return to Camp Crystal Lake could help to recapture the magic of the original movie. Is Friday the 13th the movie on Netflix? Released: 14th October 2019. Journey to camp Crystal Lake for 8xs the terrors, 8xs the scares and 8xs the horrors!

Side guide

It’s safe to say that with such a large selection, nearly all of the previous DVD and Blu-ray releases of this series can be retired. Even so, there a couple of items that haven’t been included. The Return to Camp Crystal Lake documentary from the film’s Blu-ray release in the UK is not accounted for, nor are the Crystal Lake Memories and His Name Was Jason documentaries. However, their absence is not felt, and they are still fully available elsewhere (and highly recommended as well). It’s also worth noting that the From Crystal Lake to Manhattan DVD set was originally meant to include the featurette Scary Trailers, which was to feature interviews with the likes of visual effects producer Dan Corey and voice-over artist Don LaFontaine discussing the making of the series’ trailers. Whether it was something that was cut at the last minute or simply not used, it’s a shame that it still hasn’t seen the light of day. Some may be disappointed in the absence of additional cut footage, deleted scenes, TV edits, or workprint footage that has been floating around on the internet for years, but be rest assured: if it could have been included, it would have been. This is an exhaustive and as close to definitive Friday the 13th film collection on Blu-ray as we’re ever going to get. It will take one days, even weeks to get through all of it.

The seventh sequel, Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, debuted in 1988. Bringing in special effects guru John Carl Buechler on to direct, the film introduced fans to the man who would play Jason more than any other: Kane Hodder. While a party with teenagers is taking place next door, a concerned mother and her daughter Tina are looking for seclusion with a psychologist who is seemingly attempting to help Tina overcome a childhood psychosis. It’s later revealed that he is more interested in her telekinetic abilities, which accidentally cause Jason to re-emerge from his slumber at the bottom of Crystal Lake (ignoring previous continuity). He once again slaughters everyone in his path, but Tina’s supernatural abilities make her a worthy adversary. Despite the MPAA’s infamous destruction of all of the major gore effects, the film was another success.
