Top 10 Friday the 13th Movies

Friday the 13th is coming to television. The news went public on Wednesday, April 24, 2013. A network has not picked it up and a time slot is not set. Also, filming has not started but, Sean S. Cunningham , the original director, is an executive producer. Honestly, a fall premiere would be the ideal. With a bit of luck, this series will do better than Friday Curse. It came out in 1987. The show ran for 60 minutes. The series aired 72 episodes.
Jason is one of the most iconic horror thriller characters in cinema today. You see him in Halloween decorations, haunted hay rides, and reruns on AMC, as well as, SyFy. Jason has also done two films with Freddy Krueger of Night Mare on Elm Street. In honor of Jason’s upcoming television series, I’ve assembled his top Friday the 13th films.

Yes, the original 1980 film was the top film in the franchise. This is not surprising. Typically, the original does better than the sequel.
