Friday the 13th Blu-Ray Boxset
By jasonsfury • February 9, 2009

Bloody-Disgusting reports that they have learned Paramount is planning a Blu-Ray boxset much like the previous boxset. Please read the following:

“This past Tuesday Paramount Home Entertainment released the original Friday the 13th on Blu-ray, while sticking parts 2 and 3 on DVD (again). We learned over the weekend that Paramount is already prepping to release a brand new box set including the first eight Friday the 13th films on Blu-ray. Much like the 2004 DVD release “From Crystal Lake to Manhattan”, the box set will include the first eight films, as Jason Goes to Hell, Jason X and Freddy vs Jason were made by New Line Cinema. No word on if they’ll be uncut or not - let us pray.”

Let’s hope for the goods on this boxset!!

hopfully not over $120.....but prolly will have an MSRP of 200....boo....but will get none the less

NoQuestion · 02-09-2009, 05:09 PM

That's awesome I'm glad I haven't bought the original yet, I will hold off for now. More than likely if this is true we will see a Halloween release.

Blu-Runner · 02-09-2009, 05:13 PM

If this is true, I'm most definately buying this, because somehow--miracously--I held off on the DVD boxset.

Mr. Cinema · 02-09-2009, 05:13 PM

I wonder what kind of list price an 8-movie set will get on BD? I figured they would have released them all separately, like they first did on dvd. 2-3 each October. I have the dvd boxset and just bought the original on BD.

djluis2k6 · 02-09-2009, 05:15 PM

Damn, I just bought 2 & 3 from the UK, too. Having different region release dates is a pain!

upswiseass · 02-09-2009, 05:43 PM

That is great news. These films will be a day one purchase for me.

jaws3dfan · 02-09-2009, 06:31 PM

Day one for me as well. Until than I will watch the hell out of my Friday the 13th blu-ray movie

miked924 · 02-09-2009, 06:39 PM

Good news, I've been waiting to hear about the whole set being released. My dvd set was damaged by a little flood

i want halloween blu ray set!!!

AKORIS · 02-09-2009, 07:18 PM

thanks Paramount. release the first one with a framing problem, have all the fans buy it anyway-- then announce a boxed set literally weeks after
people buy the original so they can double dip ......... again.

LifeOfAPirate13 · 02-09-2009, 07:20 PM

I am in for day one purchase hahaha. Just make it official....any second now...still waiting....

demoni · 02-09-2009, 07:35 PM

Glad I have startet to hold off on buying new releases. Mostly because of the price drop almost certanly happening after a month or so, but I see now that it's a good thing to wait so I avoid the double dip problem as well.

I hope Paramount gives us uncut versions of all 8 movies. I know that won't happen, but one can hope...

First off, no one forced you to buy it. Secondly, Parmount has not announced anything and I dont think we will see any announcement for a while. Thirdly, if you didn't think this was going to happen then you don't understand the business.

The original release was more than likely a test to see if sales would be high enough to warrant the box set.

benricci · 02-09-2009, 08:00 PM

^^^^
Agreed. With the remake hitting home video later this summer, did your really think Paramount wouldn't try to cash in by re-releasing the original series?

I just hope they use original poster art for the blu-ray releases, and not the crap they used for parts 5-8 on DVD.

EDIT: Original poster art for Part 1 on blu-ray, while we're at it!

Macca 22 · 02-09-2009, 08:09 PM

If the movies are uncut then mark me down for purchasing a set as soon as it;s released, if they aren't the uncut or unrated versions then i think i will just buy the original.

Scooby Blu · 02-09-2009, 08:35 PM

Great News !

I hope they give the set the same attention they gave the first one (wich looks kick ass on blu ray)
