Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th is a popular series of slasher films. All of the films feature Jason Voorhees, either as the killer, or as the motivation or inspiration for the killings.

After the original film, the franchise was taken up by Frank Mancuso Jr. during its time with Paramount. When it was sold to New Line Cinema, Sean S. Cunningham came back to take up Mancuso's role of overseeing the franchise. Victor Miller, however, has not returned and claims to have never seen any of the sequels because he does not like the fact that Jason, who was essentially an innocent victim in the first film, has become the killer/villain of the series.
