Downsized Friday The 13th Blu-Ray Box Set Coming In 2018

In many ways, 2013 was a momentous year for Friday The 13th fans where not only did we receive the Crystal Lake Memories documentary, but the very first 12 film Blu-Ray box set. When Warner Bros. and Paramount made their three year home video deal in 2012, there was immediate speculation that there could finally be a full franchise box set for the first time of all twelve films. Not only that, but all twelve films would be on Blu-Ray, most of which had never been on that format before.

The set was a huge financial success as it was a limited release that sold all of it's inventory for which many fans are still chasing after today, sometimes having to pay well over $200 to acquire. That makes today's news a bit encouraging as Paramount will be releasing a Blu-Ray box set of just the first eight films of the franchise in 2018. Some fans may be wondering why just eight films? Well, the home video deal between Paramount and Warner Bros. ended in 2016, so we may never see the full franchise of films released together in a set ever again.

Bloody Disgusting found the details of the upcoming Paramount box set and are listed below, including the cover art which is a retread of the 2010 DVD box set. Release date is targeting February 13, 2018.
