Friday the 13th – Season 1-3

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

The only bad thing about this series is it died without a closing finalle that would have made this Friday the 13th an awesome collectors edition. Unfortunately the series just drops off a cliff with the last episode no closure at all. However that said this is still a set worth owning. Friday the 13th had some awesome and funny things in it that had to be recovered. Oh yeah this is not Friday the 13th that tracks from the movies of the same namd. This Friday the 13th references a anitique shop was run by what I can only call a satanist. Anyway the shop ower somehow ran afoul of his master and he, his shop and everything in it was cursed. The sick twisted shop owner meets his demise sort of since he makes a few reappearances during the three season run. He returns as the incarnation of evil each time he visits. It appears he becomes one of satans many stooges.

Anyways good people inheirit this shop and make it their business literally to recover all the cursed objects sold by mistake and on purpose in the past. Each cursed object does something wonderful at first or so it appears but each object demands a repayment that is far more distructive than the good thing granted. You get to see how otherwise good people and bad people get corrupted by the cursed objects. Once you see one of these episodes and know the formula the rest of the episodes will never shock you much. A few episodes have what might be called happy endings but most end with the possessor of a cursed object getting their cummupence. Some even richly deserve their vile end.

The video quality is generally very good. Thwe scenes are nice clear and crisp. The color and saturation is generally very good. The sound is very good about an 8 out of 10 in both audio and video quality. Packaging is good. Value for price is good. If you enjoyed this series back when it was new there is really no reason not to buy this because; for its time it was awesome. It is not the X Files but it is nice in its own right.
