I remember being around 11yrs old (circa '84) where I first started watching Friday the 13th parts I thru IV. Before seeing the films I was always fascinated by the ads in the newspaper and on TV. Ahh, the good old days.

Relive some of those days by watching a cool doc about Jason Voorhees. The sweetest part about this is all the original cast members make an appearance to talk about their scenes. It's interesting to check out n see how they've all aged. Most share some great insight into production and funny onset stories. Plus (make-up fx artist) Tom Savini hosts the doc to boot.
They even interview the chubby girl from part IV that gets stabbed from the back while eating a banana. Also, great interviews from the people that played Jason too.This is worth checking out if you're a Camp Crystal Lake fan.

Okay, now we got the 3-D version coming out...which I personally can't wait for...it's time to look into the original.

This is a classic slasher with extra creepiness to boot. This film has a claustrophobic feel with mine tunnels and eerie gore. Also, ya get to laugh at the group of goofy early 80's working class people with the typical bad acting and hairdos.

Harry Warden is a way cooler killer than Jason or Michael Myers with the gas mask and pick axe and in my book its its over.I remember watching this film as a kid and I loved it. Now its out on DVD with all the gore, finally! I know what I'm watching every valentine's day. Harry Warden, you are a slasher god and that was true even before the 2009 3-D version. Thanks for the gory memories.

Here's the original 1981 TV spot. Classic material.

Friday The 13th knockoff, but instead of Jason Voorhees you get Madman Marz! And don't say the name Madman Marz out loud in the woods near a lake unless you want him to get pissed off and chop off your head with an axe.

This slasher is gory even if the total body count is only 6. Two of them are decapitations. Ouch! Here's one of the few pics of Marz out there...he's your typical creepy hillbilly with overalls and dirty boots.The main chick, Gaylen Ross, is also from Dawn of The Dead. So, between the 2 flicks ya got yourself a sweet Gaylen Ross double feature!

If your a hardcore slasher fan this is definitely worth checking out...
