One of the biggest announcements of the year, Scream Factory has revealed the final list of content that will be on their massive 16-disc Friday the 13th Blu-ray Collection, which will be releasing on October 13th, just in time for your Halloween viewing festivities.
Simply put, this set comes packed with a ton of new content, but most notably, for the first time ever, fans will get to see the infamous deleted gore footage from 1981’s Friday the 13th Part 2! The "holy grail" footage discovery comes from a vintage VHS tape.
Scream Factory details, "In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the original and groundbreaking 1980 film Friday the 13th, the 16-disc set is the definitive Blu-ray collection of one of the most influential horror franchises ever created and includes all 12 original films from Paramount Pictures and New Line Cinema.
The set includes the ultimate collection of new and existing extras. Along with a selection of new interviews, commentaries, and new transfers, are new slashed scenes – the long-awaited uncut gore footage from Friday The 13th Part 2, and much, much more.
The Friday the 13th Collection also contains 2 bonus discs which include over 5 hours of new content, a new collectible rigid slipcover with newly-commissioned art, a new 40-pg collectible essay booklet with archival still photography, and new 4K film transfers for Parts 1-4, with Part 3 in its original 3D presentation."
