Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History Of Friday The 13th A REVIEW

Snobs of any kind will never like "Friday the 13th"  or any of the sequels. However the audience for these films were always rewarded with a good time and this documentary is made for them and you know they will love this. I know I did.

I have been of fan of these films for the beginning.  I have seen all of them in theaters.  Yes I liked some more then others but I think of  these films like James Bond movies.  Some of those are loved and some of them are hated.  

Now what I love about this set is the fact it was made by fans.  These guys know what questions to ask and we get the answers.   

This set really is worth buying.  (IF the $30 price tag is too high buy it any way and sell off the dvds or blu-ray)  that would reduce the price.

The part of the set I love the most is the segment on "Friday the 13th Part VII".  This happens to be one of my favorite sequels.   

What was sad to find out was that Paramount discarded  the deleted gore.  So we will never get an unrated version however it is still possible to get one. Basically everything that was cut can be re-created on the cheap,  Almost all of it can be insert shots.  Easy film with body doubles and easily can be re-incorporated back into the film. 

I love the fact that they got Frank Mancuso Jr (who was heavily involved most of the sequels) who gives a very truthful interviews.   

The only thing I wish that they could of done was go back to the locations where they filmed "Friday the 13th  Part V".  I grew up in  Ventura County CA the area where they shot part of the film.    FYI the restaurant where Lana gets it has been used in lots of films and tv shows including "Raising Hope" and "Twin Peaks".  One day I will post photos of that location. 

This set  runs 7 hours and has a bonus dvd that runs an additional 4 hours.
