Here they are, the specs for the latest batch of Friday the 13th sequels arriving as special edition DVDs on June 16th. Here's the breakdown...
Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter
• Audio commentary by director Joseph Zito, screenwriter Barney Cohen and editor Joel Goodman
• Fan commentary by Adam Green and Joe Lynch
• Slashed scenes
• The Lost Ending
• Jason’s Unlucky Day: 25 Years After FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER
• Lost Tales from Camp Blood—Part IV
• The Crystal Lake Massacres Revisited—Part I
• Jimmy’s Dead Dance Moves
• Original theatrical trailer
Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning
• Audio commentary by director/co-screenwriter Danny Steinmann with cast and crew
• New Beginnings: The Making of FRIDAY THE 13TH PART V: A NEW BEGINNING
• Lost Tales from Camp Blood—Part V
• The Crystal Lake Massacres Revisited—Part II
• Original theatrical trailer
Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives
• Audio commentary by writer/director Tom McLoughlin with cast and crew

Not surprisingly, it appears the "fan commentaries" that several of us web journos participated in got axed (I did one for Jason Lives with Uncle Creepy of DreadCentral.com). Maybe those will surface another time.
Also on the same day, Paramount will issue Parts 2 and 3 on Blu-Ray. The latter will include new special features including:
• Legacy of the Mask
• Slasher Films: Going for the Jugular
• Lost Tales From Camp Blood, Part 3
• Fresh Cuts: 3D Terror

I guess The Fan Commentaries must have sucked ass. I take Parts 4 & 6 so with Part 1 I'll have all the good ones.

What about the remake?

It'll probably come out June 16th with the others. Why? Becaues everything I want has to come out on or around June 16th just to screw with my wallet.

That'll probably hit DVD around the same time as these. Sucks your commentary for part 6 was axed, Ryan. My favorite Jason movie and I was also hoping they'd include the Alice Cooper "Man Behind The Mask" video. DAMN!

Why release them again on DVD? Release them on BLURAY!!!!!!
Posted by: Mark on April 13, 2009 at 18:35:06
I agree. BLURAY, please.

Jason Lives was a pretty good flick compared to the other movies around it in the series.

Damn, I was looking forward to the fan commentary on the "Part VI" DVD. :-(

Anyone know what the "Lost Ending" for Part IV was?

also heard from a few websites saying the blu-ray of part 3 will be in 3D but a few other websites say part 3 will not be in I guess will find out eventually also i am hoping
friday the 13th the series 3rd and final season get released around the same time just like season 2 did

God these movies blow, Jason is the worst of your traditional movie mad men. Freddy rules, Michael rules, Pinhead rules, hell Chucky is better written than these damn things... New and old does not matter I would rather watch Troma Pictures than watch that fool take Manhattan again, or go in space.

No offense, but I'm glad to see the fan commentaries gone. I just couldn't figure out how one fan's commentary would be interesting to another, or not sound any random person's talking blog. I have heard of commentaries being released online and viewers just have to sync it up, so maybe they won't go unheard.
I was kind of hoping for some DVD news of the remake. Nowadays, a DVD is usually released in two months. Especially since the film has been out of theaters for so long.
On an unrelated side note, I met C.J. Graham (Jason from Part VI) at WonderCon. He is like the nicest guy.

Jason Lives is probably my favorite because it doesn't take itself too seriously (and it shouldn't, it's a slasher movie sequel for god's sakes). Does anyone know if the "Slashed Scenes" include the gorier parts that were left out of the theatrical release, or is it just useless fluff?
Posted by: lopli on April 14, 2009 at 09:48:30
Sounds awesome. I wonder what The Lost ending for Part IV is?
Posted by: Simon Phoenix on April 14, 2009 at 10:05:57
Hey joker go and do that and stop wasting our time with your bull****! thanks. chucky better than Jason come on you douche bag.

It's good your commentaries aren't on it. I can imagine the stupidity of you trying to be funny about how bad you think Part V is. It doesn't need Mystery Science Theatre 3000.

rad.

But, but I have the COMPLETE SET!!!!! I don't know what to do now... Should I chuck it out or should I keep it AND add these to my shelves? Man **** it they are so bought!

The BIG QUESTION is... When they get around to doing Pt. VII: THE NEW BLOOD... Will it be the long awaited UnCuT, John Carl Buechler's vision or just another remaster of the chopped to crap producers version everyone has seen...?
I so hope and pray for UnCut!
No Slashed scene extras... Full on film including extended death scenes the way they were filmed, and a nice new ending Jason vs. Zombie Dad!
Oh to dream....

What about the new blood and jason takes manhattan. We want these also in deluxe editions to complete our collection together with the videos of part 8 called the darkest side of the night and from part 6 the man behind the mask.
WHAT ? Part 6 new dvd DOES NOT INCLUDE THIS VIDEO ?
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Super Duper Wonderful! I hope I am still alive, healthy, strong, and well enough to purchase the Blu-Ray Disc versions of the Friday the 13th once I get the lipoma removed from my back, because I want so much to collect the entire collection of the sexy Friday the 13th franchise, and have my future daughters and my future stepdaughters present them at their sleepovers.
