“His name was Jason, and today is his birthday.” That spelled doom for the residents of Camp Blood, but this October, it will spell certain happiness for horror fans. And my pre-order is about to go in already!
Dare you visit Crystal Lake… in stunning, blood-soaked 4K? Sean S. Cunningham’s massively successful 1980 shocker Friday the 13th – that introduced the world to the legend of Jason Voorhees and spawned numerous sequels and a remake – is released by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment for the first time in the UK on 4K Ultra HD and SteelBook on October 12, 2026.
