Ironically, when I first saw Friday (in the cinema) I thought it was a great post Halloween slasher, but on further viewings I find it's lost out a bit in the fullness of time, the " I'm off to walk alone into the dark" cliche is now quite annoying, as for The Burning, no doubt a Friday clone but... what a scene on the raft, a simply outstanding bit of mayhem, tho unlike others I've probably seen Friday more times ( the VHS was very popular back in the day, and was the one mates would take off the shelf to put on in the wind down after a get together) I would now prefer to sit down and watch The Burning, so I would say both have a place in anyones 80s horror collection of slasher classics
