Upcoming Documentary: Crystal Lake Memories

Who likes to know the behind the scenes information about movies?

To me personally one of my favorite things about buying a DVD is the behind the scenes action we get to witness.

Every once and a while there will be a behind the scenes book such as "Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday The 13th"

On this day in Horror History, Friday the 13th made it’s theatrical debut. One of the quintessential horror films in the annals of cinema, it spawned many of beloved sequels from seemingly unknown and unanticipated origins. Under a working script titled "Long Night at Camp Blood", it would initially have the infamous neglected camper turned homicidal maniac named Jason, as “Josh”, only changed to more sinister sounding name which we all know and love. Unbeknownst to those involved in the groundbreaking horror film, the scorned and vengeful Pamela Voorhees would not only accumulate quite the body count in light of her son’s death, but spawn one of the most lucrative franchises in history

On this day in Horror History, Jason X marked it’s American theatrical debut. The final addition to New Line’s Friday the 13th Franchise prior to Freddy VS. Jason (2003) and the acclaimed 2009 remake, Jason X was a brilliant end to the franchise which seemingly everything had been done. Considered by famed Voorhees actor Kane Hodder to be the best written of any of the films starring the masked maniac, Jason X boasts the largest number of on screen kills of any of the series preceding it.

Cheesy premise, the first implementation of computer generated effects in a Friday the 13th film, and contradictory story lines aside… Jason X is a pleasurable end to the legacy of the machete wielding antagonist.
