We’ll get to the majority of the special features in the “Special Features” section of this review, but let’s address some of set’s more charming (and less charming) aspects up front. The title itself is catchy and unsettling, priming audiences for arm-squeezing and chair-jumping, and the director cannily stuffed the last 10 minutes of Friday the 13th with enough gore and incident to disguise how little had actually happened in the hour and change that preceded them. Also included are The Friday the 13th Chronicles, Part VI (14:42/SD); Lost Tales From Camp Blood - Part 6 (7:17/HD); The Crystal Lake Massacres Revisited, Part III (9:36/HD); Jason Lives: The Making of Friday the 13th Part VI (12:57/HD); Meeting Mr.

Several trims had to be made to the film's violent deaths for its theatrical release, and Friday the 13th proved immediately willing to throw buckets of blood at the screen.

Released less than a year after the original, Part II saw Steve Miner take over the director's chair. The cast, which features Corey Feldman and Crispin Glover, is also better than the amateurs who normally populate this series. The gore is toned down compared to previous entries but there's a sense of fun here that is sorely lacking from the previous sequels.
