About Friday The 13th
Friday the 13th is one of the most popular horror-slasher franchises to ever exist. The first-ever movie dropped in 1980, and there have been a total of twelve movies since. Plus, a television series, video games, novels, and comic books have also been created based on the same. The concept of Friday the 13th is spooky in itself. Americans consider any Friday falling on the 13th of any month to be heavily unlucky and this inspired the franchise.
The story of the movies and games revolves around the iconic location of Camp Crystal Lake, a cursed site haunted by past tragedies. A group of friends or counsellors visits this site and ignores the warnings of the locals. Soon, bizarre things start happening, and then the individuals start getting hunted brutally one by one by a mysterious, masked killer. At the end, mostly a final character survives and solves the mystery behind what’s going on.
