Friday Deluxe Editions Up for Award Wins!
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:
“Best Re-Release” – while the earlier films in the DELUXE stable could certainly use the encouragement, it’s the second half – parts 4-6 – that really shined, with mouth watering supplementary material put together by Dan Farrands (Director, HIS NAME WAS JASON, and also up for an award in the ghost category with THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUT).
“Best Packaging” – regardless of their lack of original poster use, they were very striking which was needed to have them ‘pop’ out among the clutter in stores, and they did maintain a consistency with the covers that made them stand proud on home DVD shelves everywhere! A win would certainly be encouraging for Paramount and a boast for FRIDAY fans everywhere.
Also up:
“Best Boxed Set or TV Series” - Friday the 13th — The Series: The First Season
“Best Slasher” - The Jason Slasher Collection from Warner Home Video
Voting runs Sept. 1 through Oct. 1. and you should hit the link below and show your support! Do it for ol’ puss face! (I mean Jason, not me!)

Submitted my vote for ol’ puss face.
Sounds like another marketing gimmick.
GO FRIDAY 13TH!!!!!!
Where the frak are the blu-rays for 4 -6?
Yeah… but which company owns Home Media Magazine? And are they connected to the Viacom corporation in any way?
John might be on to something.
Probably just a sales gimmick… It’s all about money.
I’m with John Robert! We need the Blu releases for 4-6!!!
despite my love for friday the 13th, i had to give my bloody valentine my vote for best re-release…they inserted the gore footage back in, despite the poor quality, and we have to send a message to paramount that it’s worth that little extra effort.
& i’ll third that comment…where the fuck’s the bds?!!!!
…and to tommyblah…I did love the fact the reissue of MBV had ALL the cut gore put back in…quality or not, I loved it.
I still want those frakin’ blu-rays
I can’t even bring myself to buy the SE DVDs ‘cuz once you go b-r…
have the new parts 7 and 8 deluxe edition dvds been reviewed yet
