Friday the 13th: 8-Movie Collection (1980-1989)

Friday the 13th: 8-Movie Collection Blu-ray

[dylrichard02]

Wish it was 4K, but oh well. Also the Paramount 8 are available for like a third of the price.



Currently $24.99. No digital and a standard blue case.

EDIT: I see 1-4 are from the new 4K remasters.

I can see that case going for some pretty bucks online for the aficionados who now have an easily accessible means to bunch up their horror collections in blood-red multi-disc cases.

Why not? It's the first one with Kane Hodder!

It'll probably just be a re-release of the original set, but still cool to see.

TBH, to see the first 2 in the Paramount Presents line would be ideal. Think standard editions of the Scream discs once that set goes (unfortunately) OOP.

UPDATE: Speak of the devil! Look at the description!:

"This collection contains newly remastered editions of the original theatrical cut of FRIDAY THE 13TH(1980), FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2, FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 3, and FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER."

Why not just get the Scream set?

Agree with others in the thread that this is a weird release. I would have assumed they would just keep reprinting the old cheapo set as an alternative to the SF set until they put out 1-4 on 4K UHD. That said, I would have bought this if they'd slipped in new remasters of The New Blood and Jason Takes Manhattan. Art is surprisingly nice and I much prefer the Paramount entries over anything that followed.

Funny considering the only upgrade it received for the SF set was getting its own disc. And it looks like it won't even get that for this release.

[gunnerg]

Paramount makes such lovely 4k uhd disc releases + they paid their Dolby Vision dues! Jeez, I hope this is a glimmer of hope for this to happen to Friday the 13th. At least 1-4! They would sell so much better than this "what the ?" set will. A much larger percentage of live buyers who already bought the Scream Factory collection. It's simple. They must have blocked Scream Factory from 4k rights for a reason. Must be coming...

This is the first time that they have been released with digital downloads right?

[THUNDERSTRUCK]

Same sh*t, different package. Wish they'd have put out a proper 40th anniversary edition of the original last year.

I guess some cows just keep giving milk.

Well, the new 4K masters, yes, but overall, no, as the older Blu-ray Tin Box of the Complete Franchise had digital versions.

[starsteam]

It's still a 6-disc set, so the first four films will probably still be on individual discs. And since they're remastered, those four would be brand spanking new discs - but I'm not holding out for much nor do I care. I have the SF set.

Yes, not counting the one sold at Walmart that had a Vudu promo copy attached (but that may have been only for the DVD set, I can't remember).

My old tin set of them came with a download code for ultraviolet I believe.

DOH! I forgot about that and I even own it.

[dylrichard02]

I'm wondering if all of them, or at the very least 1-4, will be repressed versions of the Scream discs with those extras, considering they are the new transfers. That would be nice to see for those who didn't get the SF version.

I’d guess the new restorations but probably no extras, one cut and multiple movies on one disc.

Yah. The spine says 6-disc set for this 8 movie collection. 5-6 and 7-8 share discs again probably?

(I'm just going by pics of the current 8 movie set in Amazon reviews. I don't own it but that seems to be how that set is organized.)

[Blu Balls]

So.... They made new packaging and it now costs three times as much their current set?

[Nailwraps]

Guys, check the description, the 4K transfers for 1-4 are set to be on there!

[GeoffOliver]

Nice packaging, but I have Scream’s set, so I don’t need this. Still, it’s nice that the new transfers are in print for those that don’t want to pay $120+.
