Spawning ten popular sequels to date,Friday the 13th series has changed the way we interact with movies,grapple with primal conflict and comprehend the very nature of good and evil. Vital morality tales for a new generation, these highly participatory and readily accessible rollercoaster rides have been widely imitated,celebrated and castigated,but never equalled.Evil itself personified,the character of Jason has provided a healthy cinematic outlet for audiences to confront their worst fears.The power of good always triumphant,the series ultimately conveyed the most important of messages:through the power of self-awareness and human ingenuity,we can survive the night and defeat the forces of darkness that lurk behind every shadow. Crystal Lake Memories is a landmark chornicle, the first definitive look at the making of this classic series. Author Peter M. Bracke guides us from the series' humblest beginnings to its blockbuster success,through the political and moral minefields of the 1980's and '90's,to the blockbuster release of Freddy vs. Jason.Like pieces of a mosaic,over two-hundred exclusive interviews with cast,crew and industry luminaries are combined with nearly six-hundred rare and never-before-seen images to create a comprehensive,meticulously researched digest of each production.Through this deftly assembled account of every aspect of the creative process, the remarkable story of the franchise that transformed the face of horror is brought vividly to life.
