As some of you may remember late last year, Sean S. Cunningham's original Friday the 13th received one of the ugliest Steelbooks we've ever seen, one that featured a horribly rendered and obviously misplaced Jason Voorhees on the cover...
Well, thankfully, a new (and immensely more appealing) Steelbook is on the way in celebration of the classic slasher's 40th anniversary. Even better, it'll feature the Uncut version of the film!
Paramount details, "Rip into the chilling Uncut Edition of Friday the 13th. With the addition of unrated footage, and insightful special features, plunge deeper into the film that spawned eleven sequels and the genre’s unstoppable bad guy, Jason Voorhees."
In the 1980 film, which starred Betsy Palmer, Adrienne King, Jeannine Taylor and Kevin Bacon, a new owner and several young counselors gather to reopen Camp Crystal Lake, where a young boy drowned and several vicious murders occurred years earlier. They’ve ignored locals’ warnings that the place has a death curse… and one by one they find out how unlucky Friday the 13th can be as they are stalked by a violent killer.
