**Storyline:**
“Friday the 13th” is a popular American horror franchise that includes twelve slasher films, a TV series, novels, comics, video games, and merchandise. The series centers around Jason Voorhees, a fictional character believed to have drowned as a child at Camp Crystal Lake due to staff negligence. Years later, the lake becomes infamous for being “cursed” and the site of numerous murders. Jason appears in all the films, either as the killer or the driving force behind the killings.
The original film was created to capitalize on the success of “Halloween” (1978) and was written by Victor Miller and directed by Sean S. Cunningham. The franchise has earned over $468 million worldwide and was the highest-grossing horror series until the release of “Halloween” (2018).
Producer Frank Mancuso Jr. also developed the TV show “Friday the 13th: The Series” after the release of “Jason Lives.” Although the show wasn’t directly connected to the films, it explored themes of bad luck and curses, which are central to the franchise.
The series expanded into novels and comics, with adaptations under both Paramount and New Line Cinema. A crossover film featuring Jason and Freddy Krueger from “A Nightmare on Elm Street” was also produced. Despite mixed critical reception, “Friday the 13th” remains a cultural phenomenon, with dedicated fans creating their own films, costumes, and even tattoos inspired by the series. Jason’s hockey mask is now an iconic symbol in horror and popular culture.
