i think they will end up having spent more making the lenticulars covers than they actually make off of selling these. the only chance they have of selling any is if someone who is completely clueless or knows little of the series sees it and thinks there’s something special about it because jason’s mask is on it.

what i wanna know is how did they pitch this rerelease idea to the higher-ups at paramount? …’hey let’s release the same exact barebones DVD with a below-average remasterting for the 4th time and just add jason’s mask to the cover. it’ll sell for sure!’ wasn’t there anyone with half a brain listening to this proposal? you would think someone would be inclined to say…..”why?” because as soon as you ask that, you realize there’s nothing to gain from it.

i’m not allowed to repackage crappy work from my past to make more money off of it at my job. i would probably get fired if i tried to do that. so i propose whoever proposed this release lose their job.

Hey roy burns. If by “alternate ending to Part 3″ you mean when Chris is decapitated, they actually never filmed that from what I’ve read and heard. I believe it was in my Crystal Lake Memories book. But that would have been a really cool ending to actually get to see!!

If you’d ask me, Paramount’s print to the original Friday The 13th is pretty dark and not as cleaned as the Warner Bros. Region 2 / 4 DVD release! I actually was able to obtain ‘Work Prints’ of Parts 4 and 7, but in reality it’s just the original theatrical released films with all of the uncut gore and violence intact. Also, most cult horror films released through DVD through Paramount have always been bare-bones releases (example: Phase IV, The Deadly Bees, etc.). I agree that New Line should buy out all of Paramount’s Friday The 13th films, because at least New Line does a yeoman’s job with their ANOES DVD releases, etcetera, etcetera.

i would love it if new line would buy 1-8 off of paramount. new line would hook it up. paramounts box set is garbage. i want to see 2-8 uncut, the alternate ending to part 3, documentarys, jason actors interviews, dead teenager interviews, gah. the sun would shine bright the day something like that gets released.

ROBIN- – - -I bought a bootleg copy of part IV with all the extra TV scenes edited in for like 10 bucks at a horror convention. all they extra scenes are just sarah and doug getting to know each other, and one more little special fx gag tommy shows rob in his room. nothing special.

I remember when there was a petition running around to get Paramount to release an Unrated version of the film a few years back…if it didn’t work then I doubt it’ll work now. Let’s just hope for New Line to be in charge of the DVD Release of the new film…One thing is for sure, I’m glad New Line Made the Nightmare Series. They jam-packed the new Nightmare On Elm Street DVD with lots of goodies not seen in years including new documentaries. With our luck, they’ll release some bullshit TV Special they had for AMC 2 years ago for AMC’s Horrorfest. That’s probably the best TV Edition of the film we’ll ever see.

Because they own the rights to the 1st eight films which includes characters and scenarios along with remake rights.

A question by the way, How come Paramount is helping out in producing this film?

If they can find ALL the shot footage from superman 2 for dick donner to finish his cut of that film I\’m pretty sure stuff from the F13th-series do exist.

The silver lining is that Paramount is eager to cash in on the new flic… maybe we’ll get a Blu-Ray box set when the new one hits video.

I hate cashmount.Friday the 13 part 2 screams for unrated ed and the assholes won’t do it.No one buy this cash grab.

If you ask me, Paramount is being stingy. They just taking the same dead animal and putting it in a new box. It’s stupid. New Line is much better at the Friday the 13th stuff. Jason Goes To Hell got an unrated cut along with the theatrical in the initial DVD release; Jason X had bonus features; and Freddy vs. Jason had a second disc that was LOADED with shit.

If Paramount wants to make money from us, they would re-release the boxed set with the uncut versions in a HD transfer, an extras disc, and team up with New Line on it so JGTH, Jason X and Fvs.J are in the same set.

oops! ..”anything at all TO DO”…..

Anyone who thinks the hockey mask has anything at all with part one need to rewatch the first three movies again. Paramount is just tryin to wrangle in some extra cash. Cheap bastards,..they should of issued a kick-ass box set the first time around, with way more interviews, in depth convention coverage, etc. Just cool shit that WE THE FANS want to see!!!! I know that takes time and money, but hey, its almost thirty years later and f13th is still goin strong………..

I wonder how many people actually think that Jason with the hockey mask is actually in the original Friday the 13th.lol
I bet there are even a lot of horror movie fans that are fooled.

There’s some footage in the box set, at least they scraped that together – but I’m really curious about the TV version of IV, how does it differ, and is it available anywhere (bootleg or otherwise)?
