This 13. Friday The movies could have continued sending new camp counselors to Crystal Lake and sitting around while Jason creatively killed them off (in fact, later sequels did), but the series’ fourth installment felt the need to add an element instead. mystery for transactions.
Geniuses à la Giallo who keep the identity of their assassins secret Blood Dripping Dorm, Happy Birthday to meand my fucking darling had proven popular with slasher fans, so 13. Friday with the franchise was quick to monetize this trend Friday the 13th: A New Beginning. A flop that fans hated a lot was the first 13. Friday film without Jason Voorhees since the original and 13. Friday The sequel quickly became the latest to try this trick.
The magical sequel to adolescence
The “magical teenager” horror movie became an increasingly mainstream sight during the ’80s for a variety of reasons. On the one hand, the popularity of Stephen King’s novels lighter and Carrie meant readers blurred the lines between horror and fantasy, with stories of super-powered heroines wielding their telekinesis terribly. On the other hand, the growing popularity of Freddy Krueger has meant that an increasing number of slasher films have eschewed traditional “masked killer” fiction for more paranormal and supernatural spins on the premise that “the unstoppable killer feeds on young victims”. A few years after Freddy battled the Dream Warriors and Carrie ruined prom night, Jason came face-to-face with the magical teens as the show once again continued a popular trend.
It would be a while ago 13. Friday the film was borrowed A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revengeproperty parcel line, but Friday the 13th Episode VII: New Blood He did not hesitate to draw inspiration from his success. Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors‘ is the story of super-powered teenagers who go up against a slasher villain. Billed as “Jason Vs Carrie” Friday the 13th Episode VII: New Blood Although critics weren’t impressed, it was a shameless knockout that succeeded, at least among fans. The purpose of the film was to copy what was done. Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors succeeded, namely the decision to give the young heroes superhuman powers so that they at least have a fighting chance against the invincible villain.
Continuation of the whole space
Jason X monitoring Gin, atrociousand creatures in space and 13. FridayThe sci-fi introduction was just as successful as its previous sequels. While many classic horror franchises attempt to make a sequel that takes advantage of the sci-fi horror trend in the future, none of these sequels stand out as a memorable introduction to their series. Rather, space tends to be the jaded slasher villain’s last resort before he’s inevitably swapped out for a newer, slimmer model.
The inevitable remake
Speaking of swapping out tired characters, Michael Myers’ recast on the big screen in the mid-2000s meant that Jason would never be slow to capture his original inspiration. This 13. Friday series still followed HalloweenThe starring role and the inevitable 2000s remake were no different, but director Marcus Nispel 13. Friday the reboot was surprisingly better than Rob Zombie’s 2007 one Halloween. However, the last thing even an indulgent fan can say is 2009. 13. Friday it was original. The remake worked precisely because it was a bigger reel of hits for its iconic killer, revisiting his best kills and most memorable moments.
The only original idea of Friday the 13th
2003s Freddy versus Jason It remains the only major slasher crossover, though Michael Myers, Chucky, Pinhead, Candyman, and many other memorable villains are open to studios looking to monetize their slasher leanings. The smash-hit horror-comedy was the only instance where any of these fan-suggested transitions took place, and that’s a novelty. 13. Friday the required credit must be given. Duration 13. FridayIts 2009 remake could arguably have been a better movie, thanks to its lack of a sufficient message.Yell meta-humor and some stronger thrillers, the truth is Freddy versus Jason It was proof that the franchise could come up with an original idea and bring it to fruition. Often too funny for its own good, unevenly nuanced, and a bit too long, Freddy versus Jason was far from perfect. However 13. Friday The franchise can still hold its head high and say that the crossover showdown was an original idea and there’s no other case of the series trying to emulate another more successful slasher movie.

Every Slasher Trend The Friday the 13th Franchise Followed
As soon as the underrated Friday the 13th Part III provided Jason Voorhees with a perfect template for future sequels, the franchise immediately threw out this formula in exchange for a more on-trend style. The Friday the 13th movies could have continued to send new camp counselors to Crystal Lake and sat back as Jason killed them off in inventive ways (and indeed, that is what later sequels did), but the fourth film in the series instead felt the need to add an element of mystery to proceedings.
Giallo-style whodunnits that kept their killer’s identity a mystery like The Dorm That Dripped Blood, Happy Birthday to Me, and My Bloody Valentine had proven popular among slasher fans, so the Friday the 13th franchise was quick to cash in on this trend with Friday the 13th: A New Beginning. A flop largely hated by fans, this was the first Friday the 13th movie to not feature Jason Voorhees since the original, and the Friday the 13th sequel soon became the last to attempt this stunt.
The Magic Teen Sequel
The “magic teen” horror movie became an increasingly common sight throughout the ‘80s for several reasons. For one thing, the popularity of Stephen King’s novels Firestarter and Carrie meant that readers were blurring the lines between horror and fantasy with stories of superpowered heroines who put their telekinesis to gruesome use. For another, Freddy Krueger’s growing popularity meant that an increasing number of slasher movies were eschewing the traditional “murderous man in a mask” setup for more paranormal, supernatural spins on the “unstoppable killer hunts teen victims” premise. A few years after Freddy battled the Dream Warriors and Carrie destroyed prom night, Jason faced off against magic teens as the franchise once again chased a popular trend.
It would be a while before a later Friday the 13th movie borrowed Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge’s possession plotline, but Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood had no qualms about taking inspiration from the success of Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors‘ story of super-powered teens taking on a slasher villain. Pitched as “Jason Vs Carrie,” Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood was a shameless knock-off that at least fared passably with fans, although critics were unimpressed. The movie was intended to copy what made Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors successful, namely the decision to grant the teen protagonists some superhuman powers so they had at least some fighting chance against the un-killable villain.
The Space-Set Sequel
Jason X followed Leprechaun, Hellraiser, and Critters to space, and Friday the 13th’s foray into sci-fi did about as well as those earlier sequels. Although many classic horror franchises tried to pull off a sequel set in the future that cashed in on the sci-fi horror trend, none of these follow-up movies stand out as memorable entries into their respective series. If anything, space tends to be the last resort of the exhausted slasher villain—before they are inevitably traded in for a newer, slicker model.
The Inevitable Remake
Speaking of trading in tired characters, the fact that Michael Myers received a big-screen makeover in the mid-’00s meant that Jason was never going to be slow about catching up with his original inspiration. The Friday the 13th series always followed Halloween’s lead, and the inevitable 00s remake was no different, although director Marcus Nispel’s Friday the 13th reboot was shockingly better than Rob Zombie’s divisive 2007 Halloween. That said, the last thing that even a forgiving fan could call 2009’s Friday the 13th was original. The remake worked precisely because it was a greater hits reel for its iconic killer, revisiting his best kills and most memorable moments.
Friday the 13th’s One Original Idea
2003’s Freddy Vs Jason remains the only major slasher crossover despite Michael Myers, Chucky, Pinhead, Candyman, and many more memorable villains being available to studios looking to cash in on slasher trends. The successful horror-comedy was the lone case of one of these fan-proposed crossovers happening, and it is one innovation that Friday the 13th has to be given due credit for. While Friday the 13th‘s 2009 remake may have arguably been the better movie, thanks to the lack of smug post-Scream meta-humor and some stronger suspense sequences, the very fact that Freddy Vs Jason happened was a testament to the fact that the franchise can come up with an original idea and see it through to completion. Often too comedic for its own good, marred by an uneven tone, and a little overlong, Freddy Vs Jason was far from flawless. However, the Friday the 13th franchise can still hold its head high and say that the crossover slasher face-off is an original idea and not another case of the series simply attempting to ape another, more successful set of slasher movies.
