Friday The 13th: The Series Production Binder Discovered For Long Time Fans

 Friday the 13th: The Series is a television series that ran for three seasons, from October 3, 1987, to May 26, 1990, in first-run syndication. The series follows Micki and Ryan, cousins who inherit an antiques store. Shortly after arriving in the store, they learn from Jack Marshak that the items are cursed. The trio then work together to recover the objects and return them to the safety of the shop's vault.

After the release of Jason Lives: Friday The 13th Part VI in 1986, over six years had passed since Paramount Pictures had first purchased Sean S. Cunningham’s low budget thriller Friday the 13th as a negative pick-up. Since that time the franchise had earned well over $150 million dollars in worldwide box office receipts. Producer Frank Mancuso Jr. had already begun distancing himself from the Friday The 13th franchise in 1985, after a solid run with four films under his belt, but he continued to oversee the production of the following two sequels. Shortly after the release of Jason Lives, Frank Mancuso was contacted by Mel Harris, the head of Paramount Television, to discuss the possibility of taking Friday The 13th from the big screen to the small screen. With that, television history was made.

Throughout the past decade we have been featuring as many props and memorabilia from the series that can be found, and today we have something pretty cool from the production.

Wade Couturiaux recently posted the production three ring binder from Friday The 13th: The Series that was provided to the cast and the crew for the three seasons the show aired. Three binders of the same appearance were acquired by Wade from series composer Fred Mollin, who also scored the last two Paramount films in the franchise, The New Blood and Jason Takes Manhattan.

The design of the series logo on the binder is pretty awesome and spot on to the aesthetics of the series. Finding anything from the production of the series is sparse, so this is a great find and hope the die-hard fans of the syndicated series will enjoy.
