Thank you New Line

Finally we get extras on a Friday The 13th DVD.

Paramount who own the first 8 Friday films put nothing on the DVDS, all we got were the movie trailers, Pt 6 a teaser and nothing on Pt 7 and 8.

But since New Line took over the series we actually have something on the discs.

The Many Lives of Jason Voorhees is a good documentary on the history of the Friday the 13th movie series.

While no clips of the first 8 Friday movies are shown, they do talk about them, show fake newspaper clippings telling of Jason's murders and have a few re-enactments.

But clips from Jason Goes To Hell and Jason X are shown.

There are several interviews with....

Joe Bob Briggs, Sean and Noel Cunningham, and Adam Marcus just to name a few.

And of course Jason himself Kane Hodder also appears.

If you're a fan of the Friday The 13th movies i think you will enjoy this.

The Many Lives of Jason Voorhees can be found on the Jason X DVD.

P.S. You suck Paramount!
