0/7

Friday the 13th

9 May 1980

The original — and the killer is not Jason. Genuinely worth going in unspoiled.

Friday the 13th Part 2

1 May 1981

Jason takes over, wearing a sack over his head.

EssentialMovie

Friday the 13th Part III

13 Aug 1982

The hockey mask arrives. Shot in 3D, and it shows constantly.

EssentialMovie

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter

13 Apr 1984

Not the final chapter. Corey Feldman, and the best kills of the run.

Movie

Friday the 13th: A New Beginning

22 Mar 1985

A copycat film that the fanbase rejected outright.

Movie

Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives

1 Aug 1986

Self-aware, funny, and the best-made sequel in the series.

EssentialMovie

Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood

Jason versus a telekinetic teenager. Effectively Carrie versus Jason.

13 Aug 1993

Body-hopping demonic possession, and barely a Friday the 13th film.

Movie

Jason X

26 Apr 2002

Jason in space in 2455. Knows exactly what it is, which helps.

Movie

The Crossover

2003 · Continuity A · Jason meets Freddy.

0/1

Freddy vs. Jason

The crossover, continuing both series at once.

0/1

Friday the 13th (2009)
