I hope they release more unrated versions on DVD. Especially part 7, it really needs it. Part 4 mostly needs a remastered version, the DVD is grainy in some parts of the movie. Still, it’d be nice if they’d release part 4 unrated.

I don’t like the covers either. I already have the bare bones R-rated versions of these, so when I buy the deluxe editions I’m just gonna use the covers from my old DVDs instead. I hope they release deluxe unrated versions of the Final Chapter and The New Blood.

Yeah unless there are some different extras I’ll be skipping the Aussie versions.
Looks like the UK Blu-Ray’s are using the same ugly artwork:

Mick those are some ass ugly covers man, it’s ashame they aren’t being marketed better in australia, I wouldn’t buy any movie I didn’t know with covers like that. Makes the films out to be cheap poorly made for tv garbage like we get on scifi.

[quote]These are fugly covers and all of them look exactly alike althoug it’s 3 different movies. Have they been done by a 5 year-old kid discovering Photoshop??[/quote]

The covers are a homage to the original ones, look at the original 3 covers they are all similar to each other as well. And I rather like the 3d effect these covers now have and the red and black color scheme.

Ugly region 4 artwork here (I assume R2 will use it also)

To Justin:

Dude I so agree: All of the original Mono soundtracks to parts 1-through-5 are flat and have terrible popping & crackling. They should at least be re-mastered to be more fuller 2.0 Stereo or 5.1 soundtracks. And looking over my ‘04 boxset, did anyone else notice that only Part VII: The New Blood, was the only film in the Cashamount cannon to get it? Strange, eh? *scratches head*. And it’s one of my least favorite in the whole series anyway. Parts 6, 7 and 8 sound much better cause they come much later in the ’80s decade when Ultra Stereo and Dolby came into the sound mix play, so they lucked out.

I just wanted to write this reply quick caue I SO agree.

Trilogies are the popular thing now. They can pretend Friday the 13th is a trilogy so it seems essential.

(As a response to Eric) I guess The Final Chapter isn’t included because Jason first died in Part III.

I just like how they pay homage to the originals with the orginal backgrounds, yet they did the best they could to make a figure that “jumps out at you.” I also like how they did the best they could to hide whether the killers from Part II and III where male or female. My complaints are the slight bulge on the arm and unfinished leg in Part I, the axe in Part II (it looks a bit “watercolored”), and the blood on the machete in Part III (same issue with Part III). Other than that, does anyone know what kind of 3-D Part III will be in?

Im Curious if anyone know what the sound will be I am hoping 5.1 atleast im sick of the flat mono sound

I love the original cover of Friday The 13th, these ones are good looking, but where’s the creepiness of the original?

They could have make the original into a more tech-based update.

Not really complaining here, because we should be thankful to be getting any new editions of F13TH from Paramount, but why isn’t the commentary for part 3 transferred here? The commentary by Sean Cunningham for part is the Region 2 commentary released by Warner Brothers in 2001 isn’t it? I’ll get these, but keep the box set. Let’s hope they start making these special editions individually for the rest of the series, if not I can deal with just these. One more thing, elements from part 4 are also in the remake, so why isn’t part 4 getting a special edition?

After further investigation, the legs look awful. Tommyrock is right. How could these covers get a green light?

i don’t know why my comments were removed…maybe i’m being hushed for expressing a professional opinion on graphic design…but i’ll say it again. these are the most amateur designs i’ve ever seen.

the altered left arm on part 1 is not proportionate to the other and the forearm looks deformed…it kind of bulges out before the wrist..can’t they fix that? the extending of the legs looks like it wasn’t finished…what’s with the waves in the right leg? the extended legs on all of them looks like bad clone-stamping in photoshop.

aren’t big companies like paramount supposed to have the best of the best working on these kinds of things? these just look awkward and i can’t imagine seeing them on shelves in the stores. some of the amateur covers posted on this site look much better. they need to keep it simple and pay more attention to detail.

i’ll get the bluray because i want part 1 in hi-def, but i’m boycotting the others unless they touch these up. i’m not going to continue dishing out money for such sloppy work. these movies deserve better.
