Friday the 13th: The Series




"Friday the 13th: The Series" was a Syndicated Thriller-style Television series that aired on Saturday nights in the latter part of the 80's.. It usually followed "Twilight Zone", and "Tales from the Darkside" on most stations..

The show had been originally named "The 13th Hour" but the producer of the series, FRANK MANCUSO, JR., who had also produced some of the "Friday the 13th" films chose "Friday the 13th: The Series" to lure in viewers..

Although the series had NO Connection whatsoever to the tales of the evil JASON, the show dealt with the subject of CURSED ANTIQUES.. Ya See, the owner of an antique shop, LOUIS VENDRIDI had made a pact with the devil to sell antiques at his shop, "Curious Goods" in exchange for his immortality and wealth.. But VENDRIDI called off the deal and had his soul taken hostage by the devil..




The shop is then inherited by LEWIS' niece MICKI FOSTER and her cousin RYAN DALLION who began selling off the antiques but were intercepted by World Travelr, Mystic, and personal friend of LEWIS' JACK MARSHAK, who inform the group that the antiques were cursed.. So, in a nutshell, the group sets out to find the antiques BEFORE the purchaser and user of the antique discover their powers and fail to give them up, creating much destruction along the way..

"Friday the 13th: The Series" aired from 1987 to 1990, with the First season being released on DVD on September 23rd... Check out the VERY First Episode of the series, "The Inheritance"..
