For a quarter of a century - from the shocking debut of 1980's Friday the 13th to the awesome commercial success of 2003's Freddy Vs. Jason - the Friday the 13th series has endured as the most popular horror series in the world. Now, David Grove has written an exhaustive document detailing the making and the impact of all of the films in the Friday the 13th series.

More than USD500 Million in worldwide box office. A body count in the hundreds. A fan-base in the tens of millions. Friday the 13th can't ever die, and it never will.
