With his trademark machete and frighteningly blank hockey mask, FRIDAY THE 13TH's teen-slaughtering serial killer Jason Voorhees stands as one of the most iconic characters in horror film history. This bloodcurdling collection includes the first eight FRIDAY THE 13TH films plus a special collection of bonus material. See individual titles for plot details.

If the Crystal lake memories book has all these information about production, deleted scenes and music (Alice Cooper!!)it would be great if they also put some music along with it from part 1 (that little country song) and Darkest side of the night from part VIII, I would be very, very happy, and maybe for once they can release the box also in the european pal2 code, because we can't watch the box set here in Holland. We can buy all the Friday movies, but not Jason goes to Hell, I had to import it, that's a shame. Well, long story short: release the complete Friday the 13th saga with part 3 in 3-D and all bonus materials on every movie, and make Crystal Lake even come and take the Netherlands and not just New Jersey and Manhattan!

This is the response: Hi Derek -- Funny you should ask -- I'm actually working on that very re-issue as we speak! Plans are only to re-issue the first three films, not the whole set, to tie into the new remake. From what I've been told, there is currently no plans for a Blu-ray version. : ( Hope this helps! This reply come from the editor-in-chief himself, so should be pretty reliable unless plans change.

Also, I think ALL of the films need audio commentary on them,plus interviews with more of the actors who never got a chance to talk about the films would be nice.Plus also TV spots for the films besides the trailers again. Let's hope they do a really good job on this one. This is a good idea cause they can have all the films on their own individual DVD with their movie poster artwork.

Like many, I would say I am hoping for the best, and at the same time, cause it's fucking Paramount, I'm not even beginning to get my hopes hope. Evil still, as I said, I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for some true miracles and surprises. I would like to see them not compressed with two to a disc and each one given it's own disc. New soundtracks cause the original Mono ones from parts 1-through-5, I have to agree, simply don't hold up. I know they were shot that way, but offer up 2.0 Stereo and 5.1 and options at least for us home theater owners. The original boxset never even started to sound good untill part 6, and aside from the surreal and underrated part 8, I don't even care for parts 6, 7 and the New Line Cinema years (I know, go figure). Also tell them to PLEASE AT LEAST CHECK for what uncut footage, in any way shape or form, that they have. And no more "side-by-side" comparasion shit. Just leave it up on screen with no introduction or a quick one. That would be fine. Like "Uncut Vera death [Longer reaction]", for three seconds, ect. Also please try to get others who've been at the recent conventions (such as the Part 5 reunion I heard about on DeadPit.com and would have love to have been at) to meet for fresh interviews and commentary tracks. How awesome would that be? Remember only half the films got commentary tracks last time, and those are honestly some of my favorite part of *any* DVD set. The wonderful cast reunion commentary for part 3 was an awesome treat, and honestly one of my favorite commentaries of all time (and I'm a hardcore commentrary track regular listener). In truth, the commentaries always tell us more (much more) then the limited screen time interviews that Paramount felt had to be interrupted with movie footage constantly, and with Peter Bracke's now legendary coffee table book, they should get in touch with him to find many of the participants left out of the boxset that resides in Los Angeles and closer. Please get into contact with him. I would up-date (from a cheaper 3rd party seller on Amazon) just it all film have fresh commentary tracks and many more were interviewed, the films weren't compressed and new audio options were available, cause after all, the censored R-rated films is what I feel in love with in the first place in my earily youth, like many, and I gave up on Paramount reading our letters and e-mails (which they should take into acount just as regular stationary letters if you ask me) a long time ago. Sorry boys & ghouls, but like many said, that footage probably doesn't exist. Would be awesome if it did, though. Also consider re-mastering every movie in HD (yeah I know: fat fuckin' chance) and doin' something different. C'mon Paramount, and actually more or less surprise us ... Hmmmm, very interesting news.
