Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th
 When
Friday the 13th premiered in 1980, the film introduced moviegoers to a new
kind of cinematic terror - shocking, visceral, graphic and relentless.
Spawning ten popular sequels to date, the series has become the most
successful horror franchise of all time, and the character of "Jason" an
icon known around the world as the first name in evil. Now, uncensored and
in their own words, over two hundred alumni of the series recall a
quarter-century's worth of behind-the-scenes stories - the struggles, feuds,
foibles, controversies and calamities.
