‘Friday the 13th’ – Now on 4K, New Video Looks at the Long Home Video History of the Original Classic
When Friday the 13th was released in 1980 it set off a wave of new slasher films trying to replicate the success of the low-budget horror hit. It also kicked off over 40 years of home video history, from the earliest days of the VHS and Laserdisc to the latest 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release.
This video from my YouTube channel Films At Home takes you through the entire history of all of the home video releases of the original Friday the 13th.
The video covers different packaging and artwork, technological upgrades like updated audio and new video restorations, and all of the nuances of Friday the 13th on home video.

Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
