New ‘Friday the 13th’ Blu-ray Collection Coming Next Year; Full Details

Published

on

Released in 2013, the Friday the 13th: Complete Collection 12-film Blu-ray set was a pretty big deal at the time, as it included the Blu-ray debuts of several of the films in the original Friday the 13th franchise. Unfortunately, that set has since gone out of print, making it incredibly hard to come by and, worse yet, increasingly expensive.

Even more unfortunate is the fact that several of those films have still to this day never been released on Blu-ray again, either individually or in any other sets.

But that changes early next year, when the Friday the 13th: Ultimate Collection Blu-ray set is released. The set will feature the first eight films in the franchise, collected together on Blu-ray for the first time since the Complete Collection came and went.

It’s also loaded with the special features from previous releases:
