Friday The 13th Blog

I recently found this Region B Blu-Ray Triple pack and I think it’s awesome! The set contains Friday the 13th Part 2, Friday the 13th Part 3, and Friday the 13th (2009). It’s cool to see Paramount able to release these movies together in one pack. You can watch some vintage Friday the 13th and [...]

I always laugh when I see movies on DVD, or even television, where the cropping has altered the framing of a movie which  causes objects to appear that normally aren’t there. The biggest culpret is seeing boom mics appear in the frame of a picture at the top of the screen. It is quite comical and [...]

The recent DVD contest that fridaythe13thfilms.com ran was a huge success. We received 125 entries and there were a lot of great responses on what your favorite scenes were between the two movies. Sadly, we did have to choose only one winner. The winner has been contacted by email, but we will not post the winner’s name [...]

Our friend daizab received his copy of His Name Was Jason and shared with me some pics and information about the package and extra features. This release is missing three features the US release included:  “Freddy vs Jason in 30 seconds with bunnies”, “Jason takes COMIC-CON”, and “Shelly lives”. What this release lacks in features [...]

Gee, from the look of John D. LeMay on the bottom right hand corner, he must have buffed himself up since Season 2… oh wait, that’s Steve Monarque as the dynamically-named “Johnny Ventura”! I’ll have to pick this up as solace since the DVD set of fellow 80’s genre TV show WEREWOLF is now canned.

I have been reading that alot of people are passing on buying the new DVD’s for Jason Takes Manhattan and The New Blood as they are waiting for either the Blu-Ray release or the ever impending newer box set release. For those of you that fall into this category and haven’t seen these exteneded scenes [...]

I finally got a chance to watch New York Has a New Problem- The Making of Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan. This making of featurette on the new Deluxe Edition of the film is actually very informative. I think that I liked this featurette mainly because Jason Takes Manhattan has not received [...]

Bloody Disgusting posted some great information about the new DVD releases yesterday. They were invited to a lunch to celebrate the release and were joined by Kane Hodder, John Carl Buechler (writer/director of The New Blood), and VC Dupree (Julius from Jason Takes Manhattan) as well as Daniel Farrands and his editor Andrew Kasch. They [...]

For those of you who did not know already, the Blu-Ray of the original movie with the deranged Mrs. Voorhees will be released in the U.K. on October 19th. The cover is quite interesting and a total marketing gimmick as the hockey mask is featured and the tag line on the cover is “The Terror [...]

Some of you were asking for it and now some reviews are surfacing for the new deluxe editions. BC over at Bloody Disgusting has reviewed both movies and I am encouraged by his thoughts on better picture quality and the fact that there is more picture to see! Check out the pictures below and read his [...]

If you’re interested in double dipping and upgrading your DVD copy of Freddy vs. Jason to Blu Ray, or if you never owned the DVD to begin with and have added a Blu Ray player to your entertainment system, then you’ll likely want to head on over to your local Wal Mart. Freddy vs. Jason [...]

Yes, we’re a FRIDAY THE 13TH site, but HIS NAME WAS JASON was all kinds of rock, so now that the same creative team are back to conquer Freddy-land, I felt I had to chime in with a show of support. Besides, you just know it’ll be touching on FREDDY VS JASON, though it’ll be [...]

Vote for Voorhees! FRIDAY THE 13TH DELUXE EDITIONS parts 1-6 have been nominated @ The Reaper Awards, which are described as “the first awards campaign dedicated entirely to horror on home video.” The series of DVD editions are up in two categories:

This is a pretty cool poster in that it shows all of the DVD covers together. However, I really am liking the hockey mask laying in the blood in the center of the poster. I hope more of the DVD covers that are released in the series follow this design at some point.

On Septemeber 16th, His Name Was Jason will be released in Japan. There are two versions that are being sold. One version is the normal version which looks to contain the same content that was released in the United States. The other version is the Memorial Version and it comes with an original design T-Shirt. [...]

All eight Paramount movies have been out on Region 2 DVD for some time now, but I never looked at all of the cover art as a whole collection until recently. And since I am on a DVD kick today I thought I would review the covers and their signifigance to each movie.

The Pick Axe fits [...]

I think these are great covers. I really, really like the cover for Part 2 as I have always wanted to see the sack on the cover for home video. I just think the style of these covers rock and I would hope that if there was an inevitable re-release again that Paramount would look [...]

Thanks to “fceurich” for commenting on this in a recent blog post. According to DVD Times, Paramount has  announced the Region 1 release of Friday the 13th Part 7 and 8 for DVD on September 15, 2009. Check out the specs and cover art below. Paramount still has love for the Roy hockey mask, except [...]

Today is an important day for Friday The 13th fans as a slew of discs are released…
