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.
