Reviews

MWNiese ******Six Out of Ten Stars****** Actors Louise Robey, Chris Wiggins, and John D. LeMay star in this 80's late night horror thriller about demonic antiques possessed by the devil. Our three protagonists inherit an antique shop from a deceased relative that had made a pact with the Devil. Our caring lead actors agree it's their responsibility to reacquire demonic items their deceased Satanic Uncle had sold as part of a deal with the Devil."Friday's Curse" is actually quite a creative premise, and with stronger writing may have been able to continue for more than three mere seasons. I'm not sure what happened by the third season, but the weekly tales really got sloppy and unbelievable. LeMay left the third season, leading to Steve Monarque taking his place; which never really worked for most viewers.I recall watching these episodes as they were airing new, and the first two seasons were mostly incredible! The level of violence was criticized heavily back then by several conservative groups, but most viewers loved it! The special effects were decent, despite it's obvious low budget premise. I always believed it was fairly well filmed from a technical perspective, despite the series delving into the hammy side of production at times.One item of mention many complain about is the original title of "Friday the 13th the Series", and I agree with them. It was a tremendous mistake to use the title familiarized with the Jason Vorhees series. IMO, the title confusion doomed this cool series to a very short production run. What marketing moron ever thought it would work to rip off the Jason title? Also mentioned previously, was the God awful third season writing. Some third series episodes are flat out idiotic, not to say there aren't a few gems in season three.Also a noteworthy mention is the full series soundtrack composed by Fred Mollin, which I own on DVD. Mollin's compilation is a wonderful 80's synthetic horror tribute album. Additionally, the complete series collection is readily available usually for around $50; well worth the price. On a closing note, producer Frank Mancuso Jr. should be credited for his perseverance and dedication in getting this thing off the ground, and actors Robey and Wiggins turned in solid performances every week. The only thing else I can say is they're were too many writers and directors involved in this series, and it clearly shows in many episodes lacking in linearity.

P_Cornelius This series has become better with age. I wish I could say the same for Robey's acting career. And that is not meant as a slam at her. Quite the opposite. I've always felt Robey got a bit of a raw deal coming out of Friday the 13th. She did more than an adequate job; she did a *good* job. But she appears to be about the only one whose acting career went nowhere afterward. A pity. She had a touch for comedy in the series and was integral to the creation of a fairly strong Ensemble cast.The series itself debuted right at the beginning of the Golden Age of syndication, IMO. Coming a few years after Tales from the Darkside and a year or so right before Monsters, Friday the 13th just might be my favorite of the bunch, although the 1980 anthology series, Hammer House of Horror, despite one or two clunkers, is also in the mix.A nice plot device, too, with a cursed antique or relic providing the genesis for each week's adventure. You remember how nice it was not to need and worry about "story arcs" and serial story strategies. The self contained episode, to me, is always a joy, and, ever since Kolchak: The Night Stalker, a true indication of the talented storyteller. Serial and story arcs are usually a sign of desperate, lower grade TV production, of undisciplined writers and lazy producers.

BaronBl00d I am not much of a fan of much film or television from the 1980's. So much of it was so derivative and it was the decade of the sequels. But one show that I thought was creative and interesting and generally well-done was the misnamed Friday the 13th: the Series. Why misnamed? It has absolutely nothing to do with either the day or the film franchise about Jason Vorhees. Instead, we get a little antique shop that has sold all these cursed objects to people and when the owner of the shop dies, his far off relations come to jointly run the shop and try and reverse his wickedness by re-acquiring all the cursed objects. What makes the show work are the interesting story lines about the objects and the curses that exist on them. Some of these were very well-conceived. The three primary acting leads were all enjoyable with British-born Chris Wiggins as Jack Marshack giving the show some really much-needed credibility. John D. LeMay was an intriguing up-and-coming young actor who could act and Louise Robey was beautiful if nothing else. Fortunately she was a decent thespian as well. But make no mistake it was the weird stories of cursed objects such as a statue of cupid, a tea cup, a mirror, a movie camera, etc.. and some wild, imaginative story that followed. We got zombies, serial killers, walking scarecrows, and even a wolf man wannabe(a personal favourite episode of mine). The show only lasted three years as Lemay left after the second season. It was really the death of the show as he was replaced with Steve Monarque who was alright enough but broke the chemistry of the three leads. The stories also were beginning to suffer from staleness and reduced originality. But despite its short run, Friday the 13th is easily for me one of the best shows from the 80's and a definite forerunner to The X Files. Of Course they both owe a great deal to the 70's and The Night Stalker. I love the opening to the show and that creepy music and any episode that had R. G. Armstrong back as the demented, evil Uncle Louis.

bobbie_alex It happened 17 years ago when I was 6 , there I was watching "Batman" on television then the commercials came and all of the sudden I see a tombstone that rises from the ground saying "Friday the 13th the series." I was amazed and needed to see this show. There I'd be plopped on the ground every Friday to watch "Friday the 13th the series." From then on I was hooked remember watching Mickiy Foster getting in adventures with Ryan and Jack to reclaim the cursed antiques back to the shop. Some of the episodes I remember the most haunted me with curiosity and wonder. Not only was the cast members good in this show but there was a superb storyline to each episode making every episode to be a unique jewel. This was the ultimate TV show in the late 80's to watch!
