Quotes

Tom Savini: So here we are. It's 3 decades later, and "Friday the 13th" lives on. And it's because of you that Jason Voorhees keeps coming back to terrify audiences. So let me return the favor. I'll give you some advice. If somebody invites you to Camp Crystal Lake, just don't go.
[an axe is thrown into his chest]
Tom Savini: You see what I mean?

User Reviews

all the info you will need

If you are a real Friday The 13th fan or if you want to know more of one of the earlier slashers then I surely recommend this documentary. Especially disc one is extremely well done. You will have first of a one hour and a half about the whole franchise, even the remake. All you want to know you will know, secondly, all actors who played Jason are giving their view over their version.

Disc two is more about entertainment. Here and there there are some interesting things to learn but there are also some stupid things on it. Luckily the items on disc 2 are all shorts. The only thing that I regret is the fact that when some actors are talking about some scene's they aren't shown, so if it's a while since you have been watching the movies you will have some questions about what they are talking about. But still, if you have the book and this DVD, I guess there's isn't more to learn.
