Though I'm not a huge fan of the FRIDAY THE 13TH series, this book was fascinating from beginning to end. Every movie in the series is covered in incredible detail, and the story of each installment, even the really crappy ones, is genuinely compelling. I've read another comprehensive book about the series, seen the documentary HIS NAME WAS JASON, and even read about the later films in Fangoria when they were being made, but this was still packed with stuff I didn't know.

this book is CRAZY sooo many deaths and disturbing parts,
Yes, I read a whole long book about the entire Friday the 13th film series and lived to tell the tale. The author is very sincere and very, very thorough. Quite interesting in particular to read the many interviews of those involved in the making of the movies, from actors to musicians to producers to stunt men - their reactions run the gamut from embarrassment to pride, bemusement to pure indifference. What can I say, I quite enjoyed this and the movies themselves remain a guilty pleasure.
I thought this book was flibbin' fantastic! I've been a huge fan of the first two movies and had seen all of them up until part VIII. I thought the book was great in that it talked to not only the actors, but writers, directors, writers, anyone involved per se. And it gives a lot of behind the scene stuff, where it talks of what went on between the people involved. If you enjoy movies of any kind, or are actually involved in movies give this book a read.

My buddy and I worked at the camp where the original Friday the 13th (you know, the one with Kevin Bacon) was filmed. Needless to say, we are huge fans of Friday the 13th and Jason. Not only was this book a very comprehensive study on all the Friday films from the original to Freddy vs. Jason, (thank god it was written before that crap that came out recently calling itself a Friday reboot. Sorry Mr. Nispel, you had your moments, but overall, the movie was a poor excuse for a Friday the 13th film...more
I love the Friday the 13th movies and this is THE book to have about them. Consider it a must have for fans of Jason. My full review of this can be found here: http://horrorworld.org/hw/2011/05/cry...
Answers every question you could ever want to know about the franchise. And plenty of surprises you wouldn't expect to find. For example, which sequel might've been more appropriately titled Friday the GAYteenth?
Ridiculously comprehensive behind-the-scenes look at the long-running slasher movie series. It's based around interviews and the participants don't mince their words. It's everything a Jason fan could want.
I'm still in the midst of it. Being an uber-film-horror nerd I love all things Film History. The only thing that sucks ass about this book is its bulky design.
This book is definitely a collector's item. I remember how excited I was when I got it. Well worth the money for any hardcore fan of the films.
Utterly incredible HEAVYWEIGHT tome! Absolutely essential! Interviews with everyone and some of the best images from the series you will ever see!
The incredible and definitive tome on the F13 series. Nothing else comes anywhere close.
A fun read. Lots of interesting behind-the-scenes tales out of school...or camp?
Obviously for fans of the movie series only. But if you are, you will not find a more comprehensive, more informative, and more fun read about everyone's favorite undead, hockey-mask-wearing, naked-teenager-killing, Crystal Lake resident. The twisted history of the series, where the numerous writers and directors intended on taking it and where it ended up are illuminated with interviews from nearly every cast member, writer, director and studio executive involved in the life cycle of the series...more
Alot of interesting behind the scenes info. Well worth a read if you're a fan.
Excellent, comprehensive history of the Friday the 13th franchise
Great great great! its like Please Kill Me but for(whats a but for?) Friday the 13th and with more pictures!
Chock full of all kinds of great stuff on the series. Absolute must-have for any F13 fan.
