Those are some bad ass covers!

New Blood with the slashed scenes is the Holy Grail of Friday the 13th films. Really Looking forward to this one.

I’m loving these deluxe editions. It’s about time they were given good releases.

Part VIII uncut scenes? Yeah!
We’ve seen most of 7, so whatever. Though I want some extra Melissa-whack footage. Sounds cool.
But I want to see Part VIII’s the most. Trimming a bad flick cried out for disaster. The saving grace gone? No! Must see JJ get guitared!

Josh, you sold me on buying part 8 also. Was Part 8 Severely cut?
June 19, 2009 @ 7:23 am
All the Paramounr sequels were severely cut as the MPAA were embarassed about allowing the first film through uncensored. Fans have criticised the second, sixth and eighth ove the years for being tame, but that’s because they were butchered before release.

God damn it, why do parts 4-8 get great special features (no complaints there), but we got almost nothing (or just nothing) for parts 1-3? They didn’t even carry over commentary tracks from the old boxset.
June 19, 2009 @ 3:04 pm
Not to mention that the deleted gore should be INSERTED into the movie. It may make the later Friday the 13th’s more tolerable to watch.
June 19, 2009 @ 5:31 pm
Will this mean they’ll reintroduce a new box set containing these “expanded” titles?
June 19, 2009 @ 8:17 pm
I’d much prefer uncut versions of these films (like Lionsgate’s justly celebrated My Bloody Valentine DVD) instead of relegating the cut scenes to the bonus features. Besides, didn’t the box set already have the cut scenes from The New Blood? I’m not enticed enough by these “Deluxe Editions” to double dip.
June 19, 2009 @ 11:24 pm
The double dipping is annoying but I hear the Final Chapter had more deleted scenes then the Boxset. (Which I was in such a hurry to but in 2004) I really don’t want to double dip but 4,7,8 are my favorites and I know I will.

Awesome features. But I’m still mad that part 2 didn’t get any decent features and the later films get great treatment.
July 5, 2009 @ 4:48 pm
I agree with Kelly.
