Remember these?Anyone else prefer the artwork to their DVD counterparts?

However,I prefer the covers on the DVD's to the VHS on these two....not a lot of imagination went into the vhs part 2 eh?

I've just been reading DVD DELIRIUM VOL.1,and it suggests that Parts 3 and four on dvd are uncut....can anyone confirm?

I've got all the vhs versions with those covers. Could never bear to part with them even after upgrading to DVD. Got them from the first one up to Part VIII.

Part III was always my favourite of the Friday's. Creeped the hell out of me when I was younger, plus, it was the first to feature the hockey mask Part IV is a close second though.

The original Friday The 13th for me. I first saw it on the flicks back in 1982 (at the tender age of 16) as part of a double bill with Mad Max, and it still has more style & scares for me than any of the sequels that followed.

I saw Part 3 in 3-D and still have the glasses to prove it.

I'll always have a deep fondness for the first Friday the 13th. It was the first proper horror film I ever watched 10 years ago back when I was 13. I could never have imagined how much that 80 odd minutes would change my life

Just finished watching Part 2-it looks trimmed-the jump cuts ain't very good-take it this is cut?

Reaps - I haven't seen the UK DVDs of P3 & 4 but the BBFC did waive the cuts to these so they should be uncut, although I don't know if the MPAA cuts have been restored.

P2 is still cut and probably always will be.

Totally agree here! It's IV for me, too....though I have to admit to "Jason Lives" being a particular fave of mine in my early teens.

As much as I like to bash the poor treatment Paramount has given its Fridays so far, I never really warmed up to the "Jason" movies New Line churmed out-though I can see that they aimed for something "different" in a dire period for the genre with "Jason goes to Hell", it simply didn't worked for me any more.
BUT I've got high hopes for the remake....
