Friday The 13th


Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th
Published: 2006
Author: Peter M. Bracke
Genres: History, Criticism, Horror, Movie Guides, Fantasy, Video Reference, TV & Movie Tie-In, Biography

One of my favorite combinations of day and date is coming and it means time to review a book related to “Friday The 13” and a bit about the movies with the same name.

One of my all-time favorite Characters is Jason Voorhees who needs no introduction if you are a fan of horror/slasher movies. I watched all these movies and bought all the comics, magazines, books, and even comedy if I saw Jason’s famous hockey mask on the cover. You can find many copies and copycats of Jason but he is always going to be the number one slasher.

Crystal Lake Memories is a visual memoir of these movies. Illustrated with nearly 600 photos, archives, and production materials. An amazing read if you are a fan of the series and it can be a great companion for the movie series collection that I mentioned near the end of this review or you can directly check it here. https://amzn.to/3jRI2i6

The hardcover version’s dimensions are as follows 9.5 x 1.11 x 12.4 inches and it is a treasure trove of behind the scenes info and tells the reader about how all and movies were made with all the detail and trivia, full of never before seen photos and interviews with the cast members. You can read this book and then watch the movies again to see missing things and find special places and parts that you never realized before.

After reading the book you gain an even greater appreciation of one of the greatest horror movie franchises in history while watching it again. If you are a fan of this franchise then I don’t have to tell you much about this part of the book.

This book is not just a story of this franchise. You are going to learn a lot about the cinema industry and how they can ruin a good franchise or a movie even before it is released or sometimes not even finished filming. Show business is not what people think of it and you may find many insights about this topic here.
