I've never seen the Nightmare on Elm Street series, but I did see the Friday the 13th one. I agree with most of the people who mentioned that the Friday the 13th show was better than the movie series with no affiliation.

I'm also waiting anxiously for Monsters, Amazing Stories (i remember reading on here that it was supposed to come out soon, according to tvshowsondvd.com), and another one that has not been mentioned: Tales from the Darkside.

Thank goodness for Tales from the Crypt, the 80s Twilight Zone and the new Outer Limits that have just started being released. :)

was there a hockey mask in the intro sequence? i can't remember.

I remember before the show even aired that critics were attacking it becaused they thought it was going to be Jason killing every week. Then it premiered and it got some good reviews because It was actually a creepy and interesting show.
I used to love the show but have haven't seen it since it originally aired. Has it aged well?

When The Horror Channel first reported this, it said New Line was preparing a 10th sequel.

If anyone read the book Crystal Lake Memories it is stated by Frank Mancuso Jr. that he didn't want to name the show Friday the 13th because he thought people would be turned off by it. The studio wanted to name it that so fans of the show would flock to it. But Mancuso thought it was dumb because the show had nothing to do with the films.

Also this talk about the next film, would be considered Friday the 13th Part 11, at least that's how I feel. JGTH and Jason X are considered parts 9 and 10, FvJ isn't considered a sequel at all, it's a stand alone film. That's my opinion anyway.

FvJ is Jason's 11th film appearance, but I agree that it's probably meant as a stand-alone film. On the other hand, there's no reason I can see that it *couldn't* be part of the continuity of the "ongoing story" (such as it is).

Besides, if you officially call the next film "number 12", than that brings you that much closer to a 13th film. Which ought to be a special number for Jason. :lol:

what would the 13th film be titled? maybe it's fvsj 2.

I agree that FVJ could fit in well with the continuity of the series, but I just don't count it as a F13 or a NOES film. Especially if they actually do make FVJ2 because then it would be it's own series!

I noticed that there is a 8 disc set of this show on ebay. Is this a legitimite deal ? Why can't I find this anywhere else? That seems kind of strange to me.

They're unofficial homegrown discs. I've seen them at my favorite SciFi/horror convention and the quality is reasonable for something that was recorded off of satellite. It's on my "to buy" list along with Six Million Dollar Man.

I own an 8 disc set that I bought at a convention recently. It's all the episodes recorded off of Scream! It's nice to have.

Since this was a Canadian tv show why doesn't some legit Canadian company put this out.

This would have been a better series to revive than Kolchak IMO. I hope these are released on DVD soon. At least we're finally getting Wild Wild West!

This is one of my all time favorite shows. If fit well into my trio of favorites: Highlander, Forever Knight, and Friday the 13th.

Supposedly this series is coming to dvd this fall. The orgaziner of this web site e-mailed me and told me this. Also, if you want to request this series to come out then sign the petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/friday13/. I already signed it.
