Friday the 13th The Series is a video series that ran from September 87′ to May 90′ and audiences from everywhere loved it.Originally, the series was to be titled The 13th Hour, but the producer thought this would turn away watchers and instead took the name Friday the 13th to emphatically get more viewers. Undeterred by the series has no story connections to the movie of the same name, as Jason Voorhees does not make an appearance in the series at all. This definitely was a shocker to some that were anticipating this.Friday the 13th the Series has many cast and crew ties though and Frank Mancuso was also the producer of the series from Friday the 13th Part 2 until the final installment distributed by Paramount, Friday the 13th Part 8, Jason Takes Manhattan, a year before the TV series stopped. The show’s star, John LeMay, is also noteworthy as he went on to play in Jason Goes to Hell The final friday. Guest actor John Shepherd played Tommy in Friday the 13th, A New Beginning and occurrence director Cronenberg, who also directed the 86′ horror movie the fly, made an appearance in Jason 10.NBC’s horror themed channel, which launched in March 2007, airs the series in random weekday marathons. During a viewers’ choice marathon on October 7, 2007, “Scarecrow” was voted most popular episode. The top five episodes were rebroadcast on Election Day, November 6, 2007. The representation has also been among the many second run programming aired on other channells such as SyFy. A few years later, the channel began showing the series again starting October 2008.{a href=”http://www.paramount.com”}Paramount released the first season on DVD in September 2008. The succeeding season was released on DVD in February 2009. The final season was released in September 2009.Vendredi made a contract with the devil to sell cursed antiques, but he betrayed the pact, and it cost him his life. Now, his niece Micki, and her cousin Ryan inherited the business and with it, the curse. Now they must get everything back and this is where the real terror commences.An antiques dealer named Lewis Vendredi in exchange for wealth and immortality grew empty of being the Devil’s puppet and broke the deal. The Devil came and claimed the soul of Vendredi (“Friday” in French) for breaking the deal.After Lewis’ death, his shop was passed down by his niece, Micki Foster (played by Louise Robey and her cousin by marriage, Ryan Dallion (played by John D. LeMay. They sold off many of the cursed antiques before being stopped by Jack Marshak (played by Chris Wiggins. Jack was Lewis’ friend, a retired world-traveller and occultist who primarily collected many of the antiques for Vendredi before they became cursed.The series proceeds from the protagonists as they hunt down the doggone antiques, which are usually in the possession of people who have discovered their evil powers and are reluctant to give them up. Since the cursed antiques are completely indestructible, they are locked away in a vault beneath the rechristened antique store that is designed to magically return the objects inert. They use a special manifest as a guide, as it holds the records of all the cursed objects.Most of the features in the series deal with people using the ill-fated objects for their own personal gain. All of the cursed objects grant either the user’s desires or some extraordinary power however, the curse always requires that the cursed object be used to kill someone in order to start it. As an example, there is a cursed scalpel that gives a surgeon the ability to heal anyone, but in order for the scalpel to work, the surgeon will need to kill somebody else with it. In most instances, the person using the cursed object ends up becoming a victim of the object’s curse. Part of objects have been shown to be sentient, such as the doll and the radio.At times, there would be an episode in which the trio would have to confront their uncle’s spirit or would fail to obtain a cursed object, and the search would be continued in another episode.Like other sci-fi horror shows in syndication in the late 80′s such as Freddy’s Nightmares Friday the 13th: The Series constantly forced the acceptable content envelope, regularly featuring violence with that of the R-rated movies of the time. Certain episodes such as Night Prey, depicted a level of sexuality that was also prohibited for network television. More to come…

Friday the 13th (Extended Killer Cut)

  • A man in search of his missing sister stumbles across a deadly secret in the woods surrounding Crystal Lake as Texas Chainsaw Massacre redux duo Michael Bay and Marcus Nispel resurrect one of the silver screen’s most feared slashers — machete-wielding, hockey mask-wearing madman Jason Voorhees. The last time Clay heard from his sister, she was headed toward Crystal Lake. There, amidst the creaky

FRIDAY THE 13TH:KILLER CUT – DVD MovieIf you thought a bigger budget and an A-list producer (Michael Bay) would go to Jason’s head, well, forget it. The indestructible villain of so many bottom-of-the-barrel shockers isn’t about to change his shtick, and the 2009 Friday the 13th proves it. This, the umpteenth sequel (nope, it’s not a remake of the origin story) to the original 1980 movie, gives us a clever prologue that manages to fit an entire Jason Voorhees killing spree in a brisk and bloody 20 minutes. Jumping ahead six weeks, the film introduces a carload of clueless teens headed for a weekend at a lakeside cabin, plus a lone motorcyclist (Jared Padalecki) in search of his missing sister (Amanda Righetti).
