Description: Friday The 13th (1980) is a classic American horror film that has become a significant part of the slasher genre. It tells the story of a cursed location, Camp Crystal Lake, where a series of brutal murders take place. The plot revolves around Jason Voorhees, a boy who was believed to have drowned due to the negligence of camp counselors. Years later, the area becomes infamous for a string of violent killings, with Jason either committing the murders or inspiring them. The film was originally created to capitalize on the success of *Halloween* (1978) and was written by Victor Miller and directed by Sean S. Cunningham. Over time, the franchise expanded to include twelve films, a TV series, novels, comics, video games, and merchandise, earning over $468 million globally. Although critics were not overly impressed, the franchise gained immense popularity, becoming a cultural phenomenon with a devoted fan base. Jason’s iconic hockey mask is now one of the most recognized symbols in horror and pop culture.
