For the superstitious, Friday the 13th still lurks in the calendar. For anyone who ever set foot on Camp Crystal Lake, luck ran out a long time ago. The silent, hulking figure at the center of it all is the indelible slash-icon, Jason Voorhees, who turned summer camp into a nightmare and helped define the slasher era.
What started as a lean, mean shocker from writer and creator Victor Miller has turned into the Friday the 13th franchise, sprawling 12 feature films, crossovers, comics, games, toys, Funko Pops, and a cultural footprint that has packed a serious commercial punch over the decades.
Last year, the franchise celebrated its big 45th anniversary, and there are plans for a new A24-produced Crystal Lake series, starring Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees, Jason’s mother, streaming on Peacock later this year. The upcoming series offers fans a deeper look at the Voorhees family before Jason rose from the lake.
With decades of brutal kills under his belt, from Crystal Lake to space and everywhere in between, Jason’s machete and hockey mask have transcended beyond campy horror spectacle. Spend your Friday the 13th celebrating one of horror’s most iconic characters by rewatching the classics across multiple platforms on your favorite device.
