Blu-ray Review – Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th

In the realm of horror cinema, the "Friday the 13th" franchise is a
behemoth. It wasn't the first to dream up the concept of a masked maniac
slicing and dicing his way through a throng of idiot teenagers, but it
gave the concept pop culture enormity, with healthy box office and an
explosive home video presence to help guarantee longevity with its
rabid, fall-on-their-sword fanbase. Other movies have made more money,
displayed more gore, and showed more creativity, but nothing has touched
the genre omnipresence of this series. Without warning, "Friday the
13th" became a cult classic and Jason Voorhees grew into the Elvis of
slasher icons. Not bad for a picture that began life as a rip-off of
"Halloween." Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
