Friday The 13th Blog

Today kicks off our 30th Anniversary Summer Of Contests. Yes it is not yet Summer, but we here at fridaythe13thfilms.com believe in getting an early start, especially when it comes to giving away great prizes to our loyal visitors of the website. As mentioned in previous weeks, this is just the first in many contests that we will be running throughout the summer. So, with that in mind, lets get into the first contest.

Today, everyone has the opportunity to win an original 8 card lobby card set from Friday the 13th (1980). Each card is individually numbered and depicts a scene from the movie. For those that do not know, lobby cards were sent to movie theaters to be displayed in the theater lobbies as a way to promote the film. In the United States, these promotional cards ceased to exist sometime in the mid to late 1980’s. However, lobby cards still do exist for more recent films in International countries. So, getting your hands on a full lobby card set from any movie from the United States is a rare thing indeed. Sometimes these sets can be seen sold on the World Wide Web for anywhere between $50 to $150, It all depends on what the buyer is willing to pay and how rare the items are.

Now that the visitors have an understanding of the worth of these cards, lets get into the rules of the contest and what will need to be done to win this rare and awesome set of movie memoribilia.
