A Crash Course At Crystal Lake


Due February 3rd on DVD, shortly before the Friday the 13th remake arrives in theaters, is the full-length documentary His Name Was Jason. Spanning the history of Friday the 13th (billing itself as "the ultimate retrospective on the groundbreaking horror series") and interviewing many of the cast and crew who have played a part in the series along with filmmakers and journalists from the genre world, His Name Was Jason is a celebration of one of horror most enduring franchises. While it isn't as thorough in exploring the series as Peter M. Brake's massive book Crystal Lake Memories, it's still an entertaining overview.

My review of the two-disc set is up now over at Shock Till You Drop.
