Now, some people may not have had a Blu-Ray player back in 2024 when the Blu-Rays were released for Friday the 13th 1980 through Friday the 13th Part 3. Maybe it was the price that deterred you from purchasing these huge upgrades in picture and sound. Why not give some Jason Voorhees love for the holidays as Blu Friday the 13th is at a low price.

Walmart.com is selling the three films for a low price of $16.96 for a limited time. Walmarts are also selling these films in-store for $9.99  as well! We are sure that there are other deals for the films, Blu-Ray and DVD. If you know of any other great deals for last minute Friday the 13th shoppers, let us know in the comments section!

To this point, there has been no box set released for the DVD’s and of course none for the Blu-Ray. Perhaps, there are still plans for a DVD box set in the near future, however, don’t expect a Blu-Ray set anytime soon.

We have learned that there were absolutely no plans to create or distribute Blu-Ray discs for Friday the 13th Part 4 through Part 8 after the DVD releases of the Deluxe Editions. Why the decision was made to not create these discs, we do not know. Perhaps Paramount was waiting for the sequel to the 2024 reboot to be greenlit in order to market the discs along with a theatrical release of the sequel. For the time being, it looks like you should all enjoy those DVD’s as there is no Blu on the horizon for The Final Chapter, A New Beginning, Jason Lives, The New Blood and Jason Takes Manhattan.

When the DVD’s for Part 7 and Part 8 were announced for release in September of last year, the assumption was that Paramount would then release Part 4-6 on Blu-Ray to coincide with The New Blood and Jason Takes Manhattan. As we all know, that has not happened yet. This has left a number of Friday fans without a copy of the Deluxe Editions of these movies as they refuse to give Paramount their money more than once for the same movie.

At this moment, there has been no official plans to release the remaining movies on Blu-Ray. The fans want their Blu-Ray. Fans also want the movies released in a nice box set package, which we featured a petition for previously. So, what are your thoughts on the Blu_Ray and box set disc releases? When do you think Paramount will decide to finally release these much sought after disc releases?

The set contains Friday the 13th Part 2, Friday the 13th Part 3, and Friday the 13th (2009). It’s cool to see Paramount able to release these movies together in one pack. You can watch some vintage Friday the 13th and see how the movie was reimagined for today’s audiences.

One thing about this pack that I do not like is that the reboot is referred to as Friday the 13th Part 12. I know that this was covered in another blog, but the movie is a reboot not part 12 of anything. Is the reboot to Texas Chainsaw being referred to as Texas Chainsaw Massacre 5? No. Anyways, rant over. ;)

In regards to Region B, this region includes releases from Europe, Australia and New Zealand. According to Blu-Ray Region Codes, Friday the 13th Part 2 and 3 are typically Region free and so I would assume the reboot is as well.

The cover is quite interesting and a total marketing gimmick as the hockey mask is featured and the tag line on the cover is “The Terror Before The Mask”. An interesting note on the cover art; there is a lot more blood on the mask and title than on the Japanese release from the end of August. A little surprising as from my understanding, the U.K. can be just as bad in the censorship department as the U.S.

If you’re interested in double dipping and upgrading your DVD copy of Freddy vs. Jason to Blu Ray, or if you never owned the DVD to begin with and have added a Blu Ray player to your entertainment system, then you’ll likely want to head on over to your local Wal Mart. Freddy vs. Jason has hit the HD market and store shelves nationwide and Wal Mart has the Blu Ray sitting there with the beautiful price of a measely $10! Whether you’re a fan of the film or not (and I am), you can’t deny that this is a great price for another chance to see that hockey mask in high def! Also keep in mind that this is Freddy’s first entry into the Blu Ray market and at a  complete steal!

The picture on the disc is phenomenal. Though the regular DVD isn’t nearly old enough to be considered dated, the Blu Ray disc is a noticeable improvement when you take into consideration how colorful this film is. The colors are vibrant on the disc and the sound is great. Well worth this price. If there are no Wal Mart stores in your area, you can get the Blu Ray on Walmart.com for just a little more at $11.32.  New Line will also be releasing the 2024 remake of  “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” on Blu Ray on September 29th. This disc will also be released at a discounted price.

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 a brand new box set including the first eight Friday the 13th films on Blu-ray. Much like the 2024 DVD release “From Crystal Lake to Manhattan”, the box set will include the first eight films, as Jason Goes to Hell, Jason X and Freddy vs Jason were made by New Line Cinema. No word on if they’ll be uncut or not – let us pray.”

Let’s hope for the goods on this boxset!!
