New FRIDAY the 13th BOX SET! Specs! Artwork! Release date!

When I heard about this the other day I thought, WTF? Are you serious? Word had sprung up that once again another FRIDAY the 13th box set was getting put out and it was going to basically be the exact same as the last one plus a new booklet.

Turns our that was only partially true.

Got the press release on the pending release today and I’ve got to say, I’m a little excited about it. Love the packaging and some of the new stuff. Here’s all the info:

Take a ride down memory lane with everyone’s favorite psychotic killer Jason Voorhees in the to-die-for DVD set FRIDAY THE 13TH THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION arriving just in time for Halloween on October 4, 2011 from Paramount Home Entertainment.
