On September 13th, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will provide plenty of blood-curdling thrills when Friday The 13th: The Complete Collection debuts on Blu-ray. For the first time, all twelve Friday the 13th films will be packaged together, (with seven of them making Blu-ray debuts) as a result of a strategic distribution alliance between Paramount and Warner announced last fall, granting Warner exclusive video distribution rights to over 600 Paramount titles. The set also includes a Friday The 13th Killer Extras Bonus DVD.

This intense 'slasher' series is one of the longest-running and most successful horror franchises in film history, surpassing the domestic theatrical box-office grosses of such legendary series as A Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The film that turned psycho killer Jason Voorhees and his infamous hockey mask into a pop culture icon has also bested the horror competition as the #1 home entertainment seller, with total sales of $119.7M to date.

The 10-disc collection ($129.95 SRP) includes the twelve films on nine Blu-ray discs, as well as a killer DVD bonus disc full of special features on the making of the famous franchise. The must-own set will be presented in a collectible tin case with 11 hours of previously released special features and a 40-page soft cover book. The book is excerpted from Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday The 13th, a fan-favorite volume that's viewed as the ultimate memoir of the series, and highlights some of the 200 interviews, 600 photos, storyboards, concept art and more. Also included is a brand new, official Camp Crystal Lake embroidered Counselor Patch.

Friday The 13th: The Complete Collection also includes digital versions of all 12 films with UltraViolet, allowing viewers to download and instantly stream the films to a wide range of devices from computers and compatible tablets to smartphones, game consoles, Internet-connected TVs and Blu-ray players.


One of the most frightening franchises in film history, Friday The 13th focuses primarily on the character of Jason Voorhees, who drowned as a young child at Camp Crystal Lake due to the inattentiveness of camp counselors. Many years later, the camp becomes the scene of a number of murders - all of which are either committed or motivated by the avenging Jason, who forever lurks at Crystal Lake with his finely-honed machete.

US 92,43 incl. shipping (ebay) for what you get is pretty fair I think

 

[cooey]

Disagree.
WB really screwed this set up. There is no excuse for including R Rated cut of Jason Goes To Hell! All DVD versions were unrated.

Max I would pay for this is $60 + shipping.

I`d Love this in my collection. But don`t think it would make to the UK without some severe damage..
Come on Amazon. Get some decent packaging for this Beauty

Update -Couldn't resist. Bought this boxset from amazon.com for £45.05 delivered to the UK. Got Posted on Monday. Fingers crossed it arrives in good condition.

Final Update - Arrived today (30/01/14) in a Box (Thanks Amazon). No import charges yippee. Some small dents under the info Card , but nothing major. All the disc & contents are in perfected condition.

Good luck on that mate, I can't see Amazon lowering the price to that much but maybe second hand.

It is frustrating that JGTH is the theatrical version, as the UV code included in the set is for the HD unrated version which really annoyed me. However, the set is fantastic and it's just nice to have all the Jason movies finally released on BD

It was $55 shipped at WBShop.com few weeks ago.

No good if you live outside of the US mate as by the time you've paid for onward shipping from a friend in the US onto yourself you'll be close to the price of shipping from Amazon

 

[nekromantik]

Import CDs had a 10% off code and the set was $88 on there last month. Should have just got it then!

 

[Hooch]

For now I will just put my JGTH unrated dvd inside, then I´ll just wait for future separate unrated bd releases.

Shipping for that set only cannot cost more than $20 bucks, unless USPS shipping fee is incredibly higher for Europe than South America, which I doubt.

Amazon is $90 plus shipping - big difference there. Anyways, the promotion has expired so people interested in this set can wait for a price drop (it'll happen I'm 90% sure) or buy now.

 

[nekromantik]

Best Buy has this for $66.99 now and I spoke to Amazon US and they did a one time price match for me!
So got it for $70 plus shipping!

Spot on mate, well done!!

Spot on mate, well done!!

Cheers!

Although I been hearing a lot of people say they ended up with scratched discs so sending it across the pond might be even worse condition! Lets hope its mint.
