If Jason Still Scares You, You're Not Alone - Check out Scream Factory's Impressive FRIDAY THE 13TH Blu-ray Collection!

 

Side view of Scream Factory's impressive FRIDAY THE 13TH COLLECTION: DELUXE EDITION!
SCREAM FACTORY LEAPS OVER VARIOUS HURDLES TO BRING "FRIDAY THE 13TH" FANS THE COMPLETE SERIES IN ONE GORGEOUS BOXED SET!


Before I even dig into the details of this set, yes I am fully aware of the issues that some collectors have discovered about this set. If you have already purchased this collection, CLICK HERE to take advantage of Scream Factory's Blu-ray Replacement Program! You just need to pop in your name, address, phone number, and send in a picture of your proof of purchase (i.e. a receipt). Doing so will get replacement Blu-rays for FRIDAY THE 13TH 3D, JASON GOES TO HELL: THE FINAL FRIDAY, and JASON X!

Also, I've heard reports of people receiving sets that are missing one of the films (usually meaning they ended up with two copies of one of the other FRIDAY THE 13TH sequels) and finding smudges, scratches, and even fingerprints on the bottom of their discs. So if you ordered a copy of this boxed set, immediately look things over to make sure all is well. If not, contact Shout! Factory customer service ASAP, and get your request for replacement discs done now so that you can get the fixed copies in November! Now, moving on....

About this Set: This Deluxe Collector's Edition collection enshrines the most successful horror series in cinema history! Watch as Jason Voorhees goes from being a last minute jump-scare in a slasher classic, to taking center-stage as the iconic hockey-masked villain that slashes his way from Crystal Lake, to Manhattan, and all the way out into outer space, before eventually returning to his home turf to battle Freddy Krueger! This boxed set is loaded with killer features - all twelve films are included on sixteen discs, and housed in a beautiful rigid slipcase!

Back in January, I threw out a prediction that this set would become a reality by November 13, 2020, and it turns out that I was just a month off! But even I couldn't BEGIN to surmise that the end result would be a sixteen-disc beast with so much restoration work, and so many hours upon hours of special features!

And sure, while we all would have liked to have seen an extended cut of PART VII: THE NEW BLOOD (that footage is likely lost for all eternity sadly), and even though there have been some issues with the final product (as stated way up top), this is a FANTASTIC release and likely the closest we'll ever get to a definitive collection! So what's the price of this monster? Depending on where you go it goes for between $130 - $160, which isn't bad considering that you get a dozen feature-length films, multiple documentaries, and two bonus discs loaded with content.

If you're ready to pull the trigger on this set, snap up a copy now (because it's probably going to be out for a limited time, much like Scream Factory's out of print HALLOWEEN COLLECTION) from AMAZON, BULL MOOSE, DIABOLIK DVD, or directly from SHOUT! FACTORY. And while you wait for your set to arrive in the mail, head on over to THE B-MOVIE FILM VAULT'S FRIDAY THE 13TH ARCHIVES to read reviews, articles, and lists that all center around my absolute favorite Horror franchise!
