The Friday The 13th films have grossed over $465 million at the box-office worldwide. Although the films were not popular with critics, Friday the 13th is considered one of the most successful media franchises in America—not only for the success of the films, but also because of the extensive merchandising and repeated references to the series in popular culture. The franchise's popularity has generated a fanbase who have created their own Friday the 13th films, fashioned replica Jason Voorhees costumes, and tattooed their bodies with Friday the 13th artwork. Jason's hockey mask has even become one of the most recognizable images in popular culture.

Friday The 13th Part 2 Comes Home To 4K UHD In The United States For 45th Anniversary

2025-11-26T08:32:00.000-08:00

The 1981 slasher classic Friday the 13th Part 2, directed by Steve Miner and introducing Jason Voorhees in his iconic sack-mask form, has received a 4K UHD Blu-ray upgrade as part of Paramount's ongoing horror restoration efforts. This sequel follows Alice's brief survival from the first film's events, only for a new group of camp counselors to face Jason's wrath near Camp Crystal Lake.

The new 4K disc releases on February 3, 2026, and is the first time this format will be available in the United States as an individual release. In October 2024, this UHD format was released in the U.K and was also available in the United States in September 2024 as part of the Paramount Scares Vol. 2 box set.

This is a great opportunity to add to your growing UHD disc collection next February!

About The Film

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to camp...here's even more heart-pounding terror.

Five years after the horrible bloodbath at Camp Crystal Lake, all that remains is the legend of Jason Voorhees and his demented mother, who had murdered seven camp counselors. At a nearby summer camp, the new counselors are unconcerned about the warnings to stay away from the infamous site. Carefree, the young people roam the area, not sensing the ominous lurking presence. One by one, they are attacked and brutally slaughtered. Suspense and screams abound in this compelling chiller.

New Upgraded 3-D Blu-Ray Of Friday The 13th Part 3 Being Released Later This Month

2025-02-07T08:35:00.000-08:00

German home video company Turbine has just announced the eleventh film in their collector series with Friday The 13th Part 3, in 3-D! This new release has the company completely updating the 3-D rendering for home video consumption and could possibly be the best representation of the film in three dimensions ever released to the public.

Read below for the entire breakdown of the process of updating the film, which gets a bit technical, but shows the level of detail that has been taken to make this version of Part 3 the best ever seen at home. Visit the Turbine site for more details and price (The site is in German). The disc releases on February 25th. Big thanks to Dawn Of The Discs for the heads-up on the release.

AND ONCE AGAIN IT’S FRIDAY THE 13th (FRIDAY THE 13th: PART 3) from 1982 impresses in 3D last but not least with crazy pop-out effects in which objects supposedly stand out from the screen. Previous releases of the film have struggled with significant distortions. Such errors in 3D rendering do not necessarily lead to a complete loss of the 3D effect, as the brain has a certain tolerance. But looking at faulty 3D images is exhausting and causes constant headaches.

Turbine has therefore had extensive corrections and improvements based on the existing 3D master for the release on Blu-ray 3D. This is how the image was adjusted in the parameters of horizontal position, vertical position, zoom, rotation, keystone X, keystone Y and trim. These optimizations were performed for both eyes together and for the left and right separately, i.e. 21 parameters per image setting in total. The adjustment of the image parameters took place in stages when the camera was still. If the image was moving in a scene through camera rotation, angle change or zooming, these 21 parameters had to be adjusted for each position. The parameters were initially determined automatically with the help of a 3D correction system and then fine-tuned manually.

Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday Coming To 4K UHD Disc Soon!

2024-10-07T13:10:00.001-07:00

Slowly, but surely, the Friday The 13th films are being released on 4K UHD disc. Friday The 13th 2009 was just released on the format in September, and Friday The 13th Part 2 was also just announced recently, so we are very happy to hear that Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday is one of the next films in line together a UHD release.

Director Adam Marcus just confirmed on Twitter that he finished supervising the 4K restoration, color timing and clean up with cinematographer William Dill. The best part of this is the news that this work had been done for the Director’s Cut of the film, which is by far the better version for many obvious reasons.

I just supervised the 4K restoration, Color timing and clean up with cinematographer William Dill. It’s the uncut version and it’s never looked better.
— Adam Marcus (@AdamMarcus13) October 7, 2024

There is no news of a release date as of yet, but Arrow Home Video will be producing the disc. Stay tuned for more for this very exciting release!

Jason Voorhees, the living, breathing essence of evil, is back for one fierce, final fling. Tracked down and blown to bits by a FBI task force, everyone now assumes that he's finally dead. But everybody assumes wrong. Jason has been reborn with the bone-chilling ability to assume the identity of anyone he touches. The terrifying truth is he could be anywhere. Or anybody.

In this shocking, blood-soaked finale to Jason's carnage-ridden reign of terror, the horrible secret of his unstoppable killing instinct is finally revealed. And once you know the chilling facts, you'll see him in your nightmares. And he'll see in you in hell.

Friday The 13th Part 2 Announced For 4K UHD Disc Release

2024-08-21T04:34:00.001-07:00

One by one they find out how unlucky Friday the 13th can be, as they are stalked by a violent killer. The bloodbath continues with each movie—one of the most celebrated horror franchises of all time. This collection contains newly remastered editions of the original theatrical cut of FRIDAY THE 13TH(1980), FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2, FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3, and FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER.

Friday The 13th Part 2 Steelbook Blu-Ray Coming This March

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Friday The 13th Part 2, Paramount Pictures is releasing the film in a collectible tin to commemorate the highly touted slasher sequel.

All too soon, they encounter horrors of their own and the murders begins again.”

Check Out Each Film Cover Of Scream Factory’s Friday The 13th Box Set

2020-10-08T18:11:00.001-07:00

Fans have been receiving their Scream Factory box sets in droves this week and thus far there has been an overwhelmingly positive response. One of the discussion points fans are excited to explore are the different covers used for the Blu-Ray cases for each film.

The majority of the cases have dual, reversible covers based on the marketing used the years each film was released in theaters. Some beautiful international posters are used as alternative covers for some films, while other dual covers are on display based on extra marketing used in the later franchise films. You will notice, however, that Jason Lives, The New Blood, and Jason Takes Manhattan only have one cover. This is mainly due to the fact that the majority of the marketing for these films utilized the same poster design throughout the world.

The one alternative cover that would have been great to see is the unused I Love New York poster for Jason Takes Manhattan. Much like the dispute during the film’s initial theatrical run trademark issues kept Scream Factory from using this design for the alternative cover.

Also of note, the special features listed on the back covers of some of the films and Bonus Material cases do not represent all of the features contained on the disc. For example, the lost effects footage for Part 2 is not listed on the back of the cover for that film, so don’t be discouraged at first glance for features not found. Make sure to dig around on the discs!

The disc contained over four hours of interviews that simply could not be included in the actual documentary because the run time would have been longer than a trip from Crystal Lake to Manhattan (if you believe that kind of thing can happen). Now we have some great news for those readers that have been asking to get the exclusive disc.

For a limited time, you can purchase the disc by visiting www.clmbonus.com! Read on for more details.

PRICE: $13 (free shipping within the U.S.)
RUNTIME: 280 minutes
FORMAT: DVD

Sale ends September 28th. Grab your copy before it goes back into the Voorhees’ vault!

This is a great opportunity to own some great interviews that lend more insight into the productions of the films that didn’t make the cut for the documentary. Get this disc before it is gone!

How Scream Factory Was Able To Include The Lost (Now Found) Uncut Friday The 13th Part 2 Death Footage

2020-09-03T12:46:00.002-07:00

It was announced yesterday that Scream Factory has found and included the long sought after unedited death scenes from Friday The 13th Part 2 for their new mega Blu-Ray box set being released next month. This is huge news for fans who will finally get to see these scenes as they were intended by make-up effects artist Carl Fullerton. Speaking of Mr. Fullerton, he is the reason why the scenes were found!

Stories of Carl possessing these scenes go way back to the book and documentary Crystal Lake Memories. There are many accounts documented, but specifically fellow effects man and genre legend Greg Nicotero recounted a time when Carl invited him over to see the footage. It is was even noted that he had it on a VHS tape. Fast forward to 2020 where producer and director Edwin Samuelson was preparing to interview Bill Randolph (Jeff from Part 2) for the Scream Factory release. During his research for the interview, he stumbled upon the talk of Carl Fullerton owning the VHS with these unedited death scenes. Excited to find out if Carl still had the tapes, he reached out to the effects man and eventually touched base with him to see if he had the tape. He did, and arranged to have the tape shipped out to have it included in the box set.

However, Edwin was skeptical of having the tape shipped via mail:

Because I was terrified that if it was shipped via postal mail, it might get lost in transit, so I made arrangements to get the tape in person through my co-producer and pal, Peter Bracke. I joked with Peter that I should have gotten him a suitcase with handcuffs and a bodyguard as this most likely was the only copy in existence. Peter met up with Carl, who handed him the old cassette with a typewritten date of April 24, 1981

I have seen the cut footage and it is a sight to see. All of the death scenes are extended with a number of scenes running longer by more than a few seconds. Alice's extended death is a shocker and the one that really surprises me. Mark's wheelchair death is prolonged and looks great, and even Scott's extended death is much bloodier.

I was concerned the quality of the frames would be hard to make out, and even Edwin was afraid of what state the cassette would be in:

At nearly four decades old, the tape gave me cause to worry, but what I discovered was that the older vintage of the tape actually worked in everyone’s favor. The VHS cassettes used back in the day were of a much higher quality than the ones used a few years later. In fact, I was surprised at how good the image quality was, especially considering the source.

So there you have it, the story on how fans will finally be able to enjoy these lost, unedited scenes after almost forty years. Make sure to check out Samuelson Studios on Facebook to get more information on this story and to see their other projects.

Scream Factory Annnounces Brand New Extras For Blu-Ray Box Set Including Uncut Part 2 Death Scenes!

2020-09-02T17:03:00.004-07:00

Back in July, Scream Factory surprised us all with the announcement of their brand new Friday The 13th Blu-Ray box set. There was so much to unpack with the details of their release that many fans couldn’t believe that there was even more content to be announced. Everyone has been patient and now the rest of the extras have been released.

The biggest and most anticipated news is that Scream Factory found the unedited death scenes from Friday The 13th Part 2! I have seen the footage and it is awesome. There is especially one death that is jaw dropping and very unexpected. Other highlights are the first interview on camera of Harry Crosby from Friday The 13th 1980 and a long over due interview with Friday The 13th Part 2 and Part 3 director Steve Miner! There are also a ton of location special and new commentaries as well. Take a look at the full list below.

Scream Factory Announces New 12 Film Friday The 13th Home Video Box Set With Blu-Ray, 4K, And Real 3D!

2020-07-13T10:19:00.002-07:00

It’s been a long time coming, but we can finally let the cat out of the bag and report that Scream Factory is indeed releasing a brand new twelve film box set of the Friday The 13th movie franchise. Scream Factory has been working on the set for the better part of a year thus far and experienced some delays due to the Covid 19 outbreak. News of this new set leaked a few months ago as word from some of the alumni who are part of the new features let it be known something new is in the works. No problem, as this set is packed with brand new interviews, commentary, artwork, and yes, 4K transfers!

Not only are there 4K transfers for some of the films, but Scream Factory has completed a Real 3D transfer for Friday The 13th Part 3! From what I am told, it looks great and this should give fans a presentation that is worthy of the theatrical release and show what the filmmakers intended audiences to see almost forty years ago. Say good bye to the red and blue glasses!

There is a brand new booklet included in the set that chronicles the films of the franchise, written by Michael Gingold. He has been writing about the horror genre for years and has been involved in covering the Friday The 13th films during their theatrical releases, so he is very knowledgeable of the franchise and does an excellent job discussing the films throughout the years.

There will be new artwork and poster for the box set as well. Rejoice Friday The 13th fans, this is the comprehensive set you have been waiting for! Read on for the official release from Scream Factory below and let us know know what you think of the set.

Retro Friday The 13th VHS Cover Blu-Rays Coming Soon From ‘84 Entertainment

2020-07-05T13:28:00.004-07:00

Our readers are always in search of the latest releases of the Friday The 13th films on home video and no matter how many different versions are released of the films, we are always excited to collect the newest packages of the franchise. Starting in 2017, German home video distributor '84 Entertainment began releasing Media Books for seven of the Paramount Friday The 13th films from the 1980's, along with Friday The 13th 2009 and the documentaries His Name Was Jason and Crystal Lake Memories. There have been different versions of the covers for collectors to track down over the past couple of years for these films and this August, the company will be releasing retro VHS cover editions on Blu-Ray!

Coming this August 10th, 2020 will be seven of the original Paramount eight films released in the 1980’s as well as Friday The 13th 2009. Since these are German releases, the original 1980 film is not included as home video distribution outside of the United States is handled by Warner Bros.

Below are the specs for the VHS editions of the films:

Format: Limited Edition
Language: German (DTS-HD 2.0), English (DTS-HD 2.0), English (DTS-HD 5.1)
Subtitles: English, German
Studio: 84 Entertainment

The fun part of these releases is that the covers are the exact covers used for the original VHS release in the German market back in the 1980's! Check out all of the covers for the films below and if you are interested, each Blu-Ray release costs 39,99 Euro and can be purchased at Pretz Media!
