Friday the 13TH Box Set
 

I went back four pages and didn't see anything on this, so here is some info, and if there is a thread about this, TOUGH SHIT!

Paramount has issued a press release for their Friday the 13th DVD collection, entitled "From Crystal Lake to Manhattan". The 5-disc box set (2 films per disc, as well as a separate bonus disc) will retail for $60.00. The release date is set for October 5th. All the films will contain the same transfers as the previous discs, but there is a batch of new supplements that have been added. Here is a list of supplements:

so we get cut prints in the boxset eh? they are only remastering the soundtrack on part 7, my how they spoil us.....

Yep Looks a bit crappy. But yknow, its paramount, what the hell can you expect from them?
Coverart is cool though I must say.

remastered, remixed soundtracks, uncut......and that's for starters

Exactly, if it had all this I would buy it, but I already own all these anyway, so I'm not buying....

hmm shall i replace my uncut versions for these...

I've actually been holding off on buying any dvds from the Friday the 13th series because I had heard about the box set coming out. I only own Jason X and Freddy vs Jason.

Is it worth it to get the box set with the cut versions? Are the single dvds cut versions? Where can you find them uncut?

Thanks in advance for any help! :D

What about "Jason Goes To Hell" ?

ugh, with lame boxsets like this comming out makes the Hellraiser boxset look that much better.

wait till the phantasm boxset comes out..
