Scream Factory's FRIDAY THE 13th collection is coming!

FRIDAY THE 13th, 1980

GENRE: FRIDAY THE 13th
SOURCE: BLU-RAY (OWN COLLECTION - SOON!)

In the thirteen (!) year history of HMAD there have been, I think, maybe three "news" type posts in lieu of reviews. I always had other outlets to write about such things, and I wanted to keep the site clean/pure, so apart from a few exceptions for friends, I never even considered it.

...but I also never considered Scream Factory would put together a mammoth boxed set of the Friday the 13th franchise, with new bonus features and even a few new transfers to boot. And even if I daydreamed about such a thing, I would assume I'd write about it on BMD, but... well... I can't, at least not right now. So I feel it's my duty to inform you fine people here, because if I can prevent even one (1) fan from missing out on this, it'll be worth it. There will only be 13,000 produced, so some folks will likely miss out - don't be one of them!

As expected, no uncut version of New Blood or whatever has been found, but I've long given up hope that it ever will and it's certainly no reason to be disappointed with what we're getting here. For starters, all of the films have their own discs, which is enough of a reason to pick this up over the last set in itself - if you yank JGTH out of your player in anger, it won't ruin Jason X along with it! Also, there are lots of new commentaries and interviews, plus two devoted bonus feature discs (one of which has a pair of related documentaries), so if you, like me, feed on the history of these movies, there's hours and hours of new stuff to look forward to this fall. And it comes in a nice sturdy box instead of a flimsy piece of aluminum that's blank on the side!

Read on for all the details and join me in drooling at the thought of that box on your shelf!
