Friday The 13th fans, rejoice. The documentary you have all been waiting for, Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday The 13th, has scored a release date and we have all the details. So, get that pen and paper ready, and get this date down now!
The documentary is said to begin pre-sales this July 8, 2013, for its release this August 27th. However, the documentary will only be available on Blu-ray, sorry, no DVD, but the Blu-ray is region free. This is due to Blu-ray discs holding more data, and unfortunately DVD will be going extinct in the near future.
Yeah, its a total bummer for me as I don’t own one Blu-ray, let alone a Blu-ray player, looks like its time to finally upgrade.
Thanks to Friday The 13th Franchise, we have some extensive details to tide you over until we get a glimpse of whats to come in the coming months.
With a running time of approximately seven hours, Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th explores each film — from the seminal 1980 slasher hit to the 2009 reboot, including the hit syndicated television series — in chronological order, and promises to be the definitive retrospective on one of the most enduring horror franchises in motion picture history.
Writer/director Daniel Farrands says, “I’m very proud that my passion (and obsession) with all things Friday the 13th, which started when I was 12 years old, has finally come full circle. What started out as a pipe dream ten years ago when I first teamed up with Peter Bracke on his incredible book, has taken on a whole new life with our companion documentary. I hope fans will be as thrilled as we are with this epic look back on the Friday the 13th series.”
Thommy Hutson shares his sentiments about his journey with the project.
“I am thrilled that the show has come together so beautifully,” says producer Thommy Hutson. “After a year of production, so many amazing, new interviews, and locating incredible materials, Crystal Lake Memories will absolutely be the embodiment of ‘definitive’ when it comes to telling the story of the Friday franchise, not to mention bringing Peter Bracke’s amazing book to life. We couldn’t be more excited to unleash this incredible history of Camp Crystal Lake, Jason, and all that has gone with them over the last 30 plus years.”
