For years I hated the Friday series, I was much too enamored with European Cult Cinema to give them the time of day, but as I rolled into my 30's I revisited the series and it brought back warm memories of watching these films as I kid, people I saw them with, the way I felt about things at the time, so now they're kind of special to me. Kinda the same with Elm Street...

I'm not a huge fan of the 'Friday the 13th' films but i have seen them all, in my opinion the first four are the best, and the very best one for me is part 4.
I think Savini stopped doing the effects after 4 and when he left they lost a lot of their power.

He only did parts 1 and 4, and he only agreed to do 4 because it was supposed to be the Final Chapter, he turned down part 2 to do the Burning, and we thank him for that (well I do anyway)
First one I saw was 6:Jason Lives on TV back in the early 90's, Jason's resurrection scene I thought was great!

Oops knew he did 1 & 4 so i just assumed he did all 4. :doh:

No, just the first and part 4, I've no idea without checking who did 2&3, but I do know they had a hard job following the Master :nod:

I find it hard to believe any horror fan hasn't seen The Exorcist, but I can understand people being reluctant to watch it for fear it doesn't live up to its lofty reputation.

As far as Friday the 13th goes, I'm not a massive fan of the series but prefer the early films before Jason becomes ridiculously superhuman and indestructible and will watch one of the first three tonight.

Pre-ordered the American Hippie Blu-ray, missed out on the DVD as it was poorly publicized and sold out quickly. Looking forward to watching it.

Also found a Thai region 3 release of ROJO SANGRE with Paul Naschy for the princely sum of £1.

Also got another weird looking Thai horror called DARK DEVIL, again £1. A uk DVD of MADISON COUNTY for 50p and THE CORRIDOR on Blu-ray at £2.99.

Prompted by Demdike's excellent review of The Seventh Victim, I've just ordered The Val Lewton Horror Collection.

So when is this Friday The 13th set out?

New Code Red releases arrived. :)
