Friday The 13th Blog

I can’t speak for the rest of the team on the site but this fan is pissd. Thanks to the guys on the imdb boards we have the details on the killer cut additions. This is what you can expect.
-the bear trap/burning sleeping bag scene is longer
-you see Jason sharpening his machete after finding [...]

Shock Till You Drop has posted the DVD menus for the upcoming release of Friday Part 4,5 and 6. They look pretty standard, but cool still the same. Check Out the full set of menus and see what you think.

For all of you UK fans who have been wondering when you’re getting Jason, 2009 style in High Definition, well wonder no more. Blu-Ray.com is reporting that Friday the 13th (2009) is heading your way in August.

On September 8th US residents will be able to take home the clash of the titans in Freddy vs Jason on Blu-Ray. The specs were announced by Blu-Ray.com. Here is what will be included in the release.

As I get ready to purchase the numerous releases of the Friday the 13th franchise next month, I am still amazed at how cheap Wal-Mart sells items from their store. Comparing prices between 3 major sellers, I came up with the following sales information.
Friday the 13th (2009 Blu-Ray Extended Killer Cut and Theatrical Cut [...]

Some more nice bells and whistles planned for the Friday The 13th (2009) Blu-Ray Disc:
Warner Home Video has unveiled further specs for ‘Friday the 13th,’ which will slash its way to Blu-ray this June with even more bloody BD-Live-exclusive content.
Though the studio recently confirmed an already-impressive gaggle of bonus features for the June 16 Blu-ray [...]

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…

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.

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 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 [...]

MrMike posted news about this yesterday in the A Second Chance For Friday The 13th blog and now www.blu-ray.com posted the rumor as well. So, I decided to share with everyone who doesn’t know that it is rumored that Friday the 13th Part 2 and Part 3 will be released on Blu-Ray sometime in July. [...]

These covers for Standard and Unrated versions of the new Friday on DVD have been floating around various blogs. But something about them doesn’t sit quite right with me – for one there are a number of really awful design decisions (i.e. placement of taglines and other elements in relation to each other) that call [...]

The slasher monster-mash is now actually already available in Canada (Amazon CA) but we were tipped off by fan Bryan Sumner that it’s coming to the States next week on February 17th! However, on closer inspection since the US distributor is one ‘101 Distribution’ who tend to import much of their stock, so I’d fathom [...]

Here’s a great new interview with Dan Farrands, (pictured here at last year’s Writer’s Strike with The Shape) the friendly director of His Name Was Jason (now availible, for those of you sleeping inside a zipped camping bag). Pay close attention to his comments about the DVDs for part 7 and 8. Long lost [...]

Bloody-Disgusting reports that they have learned Paramount is planning a Blu-Ray boxset much like the previous boxset. Please read the following:
“This past Tuesday Paramount Home Entertainment released the original Friday the 13th on Blu-ray, while sticking parts 2 and 3 on DVD (again). We learned over the weekend that Paramount is already prepping to release [...]

Interesting thread by Rhett over at Horror DVDs.com…
The new FRIDAY THE 13TH Blu-ray and DVD discs have an image that has been zoomed in and re-framed 10.6% compared to the original theatrical ratio (and the ratio presented on previous discs). How you feel about this? Too small to matter, or too big to ignore?
Now where [...]

For those of you fans living the Burbank, CA area there will be a Friday the 13 reunion celebrating the February 3rd release of ‘His name was Jason’.
Burbank’s famed gothic book retailer Dark Delicacies will host a thirty guest DVD signing that night – including the first Los Angeles appearance of the actors who have [...]
