"Friday the 13th Part 1 - 5" (1980-1985) The Series' Golden Age





The most shocking thing about the FRIDAY THE 13th series, is that the story begins in 1958. That's sixty years ago! Only 13 years after World War 2 for crying out loud. 

Ironically, although FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 5 is called THE NEW BEGINNING, it's actually the last chapter of the series first era, a time period I like to think of as the Golden age. From part 6 onward, FRIDAY THE 13TH goes in a radically different direction, creatively, tonally, even technically.
