Update: Scream Factory's FRIDAY THE 13TH boxset was already jam-packed with special features when it was first announced earlier this summer, but the final list of specs and extras have now been revealed and there's even more content for fans to dig into. In addition to all of the new goodies, Scream Factory also announced that they've uncovered the "infamous deleted gore footage" from FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2, but that it won't be cut back into the film as the footage is from a vintage VHS tape; even still, it's nice to have. You can check out the updated list at the bottom of the article.

Over the decades, we've seen Jason Voorhees slaughter promiscuous teenagers everywhere from Crystal Lake to Manhattan and even to outer-space, and at long last, the entire FRIDAY THE 13TH franchise will be available in one massive box-set. Scream Factory announced today that they will be releasing all twelve FRIDAY THE 13TH films this October, and not only that, but the first four films in the franchise will be receiving new 4K scans, which means that we'll get to see Jason slice and dice even better than ever.
If your order the Friday the 13th Collection through Scream Factory, you'll also receive an "exclusive, limited edition 36" x 24" lithograph featuring new artwork from artist Devon Whitehead" as well as "an exclusive, limited edition 24" x 36" Friday The 13th 40th Anniversary poster featuring new artwork from artist Joel Robinson." You can check out photos from the upcoming collection below.
