For this month’s installment of “TV Terrors” we revisit “Friday the 13th: The Series,” which aired from 1987 to 1990 – and did not feature Jason Voorhees in a single episode.
One of the best memories of my childhood involves five year old me, my four year old brother and my mom hunkering down in front of the TV on a Saturday with some jelly cookies, and putting on channel 11 to watch “Friday the 13th: The Series.” Since my mom’s idea of winding down is watching anything horror oriented, we were more than happy to oblige, and “Friday the 13th: The Series” offered up the proper level of scares to keep me invested but never frightened. The series debuted in October of 1987, and stars Canadian pop star and model Robey as Micki Foster, a young woman who inherits the antique store “Vendredi’s Antique’s” from her Uncle Lewis.
But this is no ordinary antique shop…...

It would seem that Jason Voorhees really does go on forever. After the original movie was released in 1980, it was not just the career of the young Kevin Bacon that was spawned, but an entire mythology that would run endlessly into the most fantastical of directions. Now, apparently, Jason will rise again in a new Friday The 13th TV series.
For the writer/director of the original, Sean S. Cunningham, his attempt to cash in on the success of Halloween two years previously was seemingly a simple story of a vengeful mother, who – lost in grief for her drowned child – goes on a killing spree at an idyllic camp on the shores of Crystal Lake. By the time it reached theatres, however, it had captured the imaginations of an entire generation, and entered into the annals of pop culture.
