PRESS RELEASE!

New release date set for Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th

Definitive documentary to be released Friday, September 13th

Pre-orders available now on CrystalLakeMemories.net



1428 Films, Panic Productions and Hutson Ranch Media have announced that the release date for Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th has been moved to Friday, September 13th, 2013. The documentary was originally slated for release on August 27th.

"Because of the scope of the show and in order to craft the best, most interesting and entertaining look at the films and TV series, it became necessary to give the post-production process a bit more time," says producer Thommy Hutson. "Ultimately, though, we are thrilled with the show and can't wait for fans to get back to camp - and we think Mrs. Voorhees and Jason would be happy with the new date!"

"Having spent well over a year in production on Crystal Lake Memories, we wanted to take a little more time to give fans the definitive Friday the 13th documentary they've been waiting for," explains writer/director Daniel Farrands. "Not only were we able to line up a couple of last-minute interviews for our bonus disc and record a full filmmaker commentary track, it just made more sense to wait a couple of weeks and release Crystal Lake Memories on the 'unlucky day' it celebrates: Friday the 13th."

The three-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo pack of the documentary, which runs a staggering 400 minutes, can currently be pre-ordered exclusively via the film's official website. An exclusive bonus disc containing approximately 4 hours of extended interview material will be included with orders placed on the website. After the soft release on September 13th, the film will be available to the general public on October 8th.

Corey Feldman (star of Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter) narrates Crystal Lake Memories, which features interviews with approximately 150 cast and crew members from all twelve Friday the 13th films and the syndicated television series, many of whom have never before appeared in on-camera interviews. Interview subjects include Kane Hodder, Robert Englund, Tom Savini, Danielle Panabaker, Sean S. Cunningham, Derek Mears, Betsy Palmer, Wes Craven, Robert Shaye, Alice Cooper and many more.

Crystal Lake Memories promises to be the definitive retrospective on the unstoppable Friday the 13th franchise. The film is written and directed by Farrands and produced by Hutson, who previously teamed up for the award-winning Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy.

Ordered!

This looks cool. The book is great! Pretty much anything you'd ever want to know about F13. Looking forward to this release!

Yeah, I love the book. I remember I got it late one day and curled up like the kid in the NEVERENDING STORY and read it cover in one sitting, I was up all night.

Dug the hell out of Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy, so this appears to be in good hands.

25 Years of Terror is good enough for me. I'd like to see one about the HELLRAISER flicks. It'd be way radder, too, if Clive Barker used a vocoder for his interviews.

[Scott Intellectual Carrot Find all posts View Profile Close Scott]

Yeah 25 YEARS OF TERROR was fine. I agree a HELLRAISER one would be good and is probably the next obvious choice. TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRES, maybe? Although after part 2 I don't really care for any of them.

I wouldn't mind seeing one about PHANTSMS but it'd probably be pretty short. I imagine it would be awfully funny though. 25 YEARS OF FRIGHT BALLS. It could just be 2 hours of guitar strummin' and cool car rides in the desert.

I just saw a new HOUSE PARTY movie at the store, part 5! I'd watch a documentary about those!

WHAT? Ack. 3 was crummy and 4 was the pits! I rewatched them all a few months ago. The first one is still a fuckin' riot.

[Scott Intellectual Carrot Find all posts View Profile Close Scott]

Yeah the first one's great. I like part 2, the pajama jammy jam. CLASS ACT is the true sequel. The part five I saw is supposedly a sequel to part 3 but it's filled with a bunch of Nickelodeon looking hangers on with the tag, "Special guest appearance by Kid n' Play." Which probably means they're only in one scene.

I'd watch a documentary on the FRIDAY films, but only if they didn't include FRIDAY AFTER NEXT, and maybe most of NEXT FRIDAY.

I love FRIDAY. It's such a friggin' hoot.

And see, FRIDAY? Brought that bitch back full circle. Jason, motherfuckers.

I like all the FRIDAYS but not the cartoon. Only the first movie is actually good. I remember my mom watching it and after it was all over she said, "Wow, that was pretty good!"

A crossover between the franchises is a no-brainer. They could call it, I dunno, FRIDAY THE 13th?!

Craig gets a job as a Crystal Lake counselor. Tragedy ensues ....

Him and Smokey inadvertently get Jason high enough to take off his mask....to reveal DEBO???

[Scott Intellectual Carrot Find all posts View Profile Close Scott]

I was also thinking of Debo as Jason, good call!

Just as long as Mike Epps isn't in it. :(

Glad we're on the same page!
