A friend sent me photos of the Friday the 13th Part 2 VHS distributed in Turkey back in the 80’s and it had be laughing hard. I immediately thought of the fans here on our blog and the recent discussions of the new DVD covers being released in June.
Everyone knows that the Part 6 DVD [...]

Will you be getting the Theatrical Cut, or the Killer Cut? And on that topic, don’t you think they could bother creating different cover art for the two DVD editions? Click for larger versions…

Here’s a fun little game called ESCAPE FROM CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE I was tipped about by my good friends at Horror Yearbook & Nightmare At Elm Street Movie.

HIS NAME IS JASON must have been a powerhouse success in the genre market because Anchor Bay Entertainment are re-releasing the documentary in a single-disc edition on June 16th with a $14.95 RRP.

Here’s a look at the Japanese Laserdisc for Friday the 13th. I hadn’t seen this in a long time and while I was searching around for some Friday memoribilia, I found this little gem. I’ve never owned this before as it normally cost around $150 to $200. Now that the uncut Blu-Ray and DVD are [...]

A couple of months back there was notification put out that Profiles in History was going to be holding a humongous auction of many items from Hollywood past and present films. Inluded in this auction will be items used on-screen in the new Friday the 13th that was released this past February. These items are [...]

Dusk has already shown you the cover art for the UK release of Friday the 13th. Now, check out this ad for the upcoming US release of the DVD featuring a listing of all of the special features included on the theatrical and uncut DVD/Blu Ray releases

I found this while browsing eBay, and I have to say, there is nothing better out there that I have seen. The mask is so incredibly detailed, and it also comes with the hockey mask. Bonus! The bidding goes through April 18th and the price is at $142.50. If you have the money, go ahead [...]

I get 100 emails a day asking for the USA artwork/release date – what, like I somehow forgot to post that stuff if I have it? Sheesh – when I know, you’ll know. But those delicious limeys over in the UK are getting it on July 27th and here’s the art. Pretty groovy, I reckon.

Ugh. I can’t even begin to list the things wrong with most these artworks, but I’ll leave that to you cats. Nice one, Paramount – just when we thought you couldn’t do worse than the covers for the older DVD editions.

LOL @ fan commentaries being axed. Not trying to be snarky at all as I myself have been part of commentaries and magazine articles as someone representing “the fans”, but it’s humbling to know that the quality of DVD special features would really drop if they started accepting easy fan participation and their/our second-hand info [...]

Blu-Ray.com posted news about the announcement earlier today. Here is what they had to say.
Paramount Home Entertainment has announced that they will bring the first two sequels to the legendary horror franchise ‘Friday the 13th: Part 2‘ and ‘Friday the 13th: Part III‘ to Blu-ray on June 16th. For both releases, video will be presented [...]

I remember in 1993 walking right by the Jason Goes To Hell soundtrack and thinking, man, I should buy this. Then I thought I would buy it later. Time flew and before you knew it the soundtrack was gone from the shelves. I know that it isn’t the best score of the franchise, but I [...]

Bloody Disgusting talked with the beautiful actress about her new movie, The Crazies, and also her experiences on Friday The 13th. She describes some of the scenes that were edited or cut.
“The original idea was that my character got out onto the bus with Jared, Amanda and Derek,” Panabaker told press. “I think they couldn’t [...]

I know that there are a lot of people who are fans of the Friday the 13th TV series. I have to admit that there were some pretty cool episodes. But everyone must admit that they would have rather seen a killer stalking in weekly episodes. Well, I always thought the best way to do so was [...]

Hi everyone. Not a huge update. As you all know the Dunes gang are all about the Elm Street remake at the moment. (The less said about Nancy=angry goth social outcast the better am I right?). But you know this is a small but vital bit of news I think we missed. Im sorry if [...]
