One thing I would have loved to seen back them is the Friday films done in big boxes with wizard video style covers ! i love vintage vhs, and i still need to get my hands on the pat 1 & 2 done in those “door covers” , i have pt 1 on Beta with the door cover though, and i still need to track down the LD for 3 & VII,

Speaking of Part 3, does the 3D work any better on bluray than it dooes on the dvd? i have other movies in 3d and they work alright, but i cant seem to see the effects very well on the deluxe dvd, ah well. I wish i hadnt gotten rid of my gateway vhs copies of part 1 and 2, i would have loved to share photo's on here. LOL i actually forgot about the whole 3D thing, that makes sense.

And seeing original artwork once again. I always wished, after Pt 3's aspect ratio, that all future ones would have been done it in too. Still waiting for 4 - 7 on blu-ray. Endlessly waiting. Original artwork on those would be so damn cool. Enjoy all the postings about the original Fridays. And seeing original artwork once again.

I'm disappointed in myself for only having the third printing, and I always wondered what that "Gateway" garbage was about. A bit off topic, and I apologize, but have you guys ever heard of a horror movie called "The Norliss Tapes?" I think its from 73 or so, but I caught it the other day on TCM--Not bad! Parts of the score are similar to Friday 1. Very enjoyable!

They were all in 4:3 format and Part 3 was in serious pan and scan mode. That was because it was the only film shot in the scope aspect ratio 2.39:1 No sir, jimm.
