Friday the 13th TV Show was wildly popular in the late 80′s and it was in syndication for 3 years ending in 1990. This television show has no connection to the movie Friday the 13th about Jason Vorhees and the title was a ploy by the producer to bring in audiences.
The show is based on two cousins Micki Foster and Ryan Dallion that inherit an antiques store from their uncle, Lewis Vendredi. What the unwitting pair does not know in the beginning of the series is that Vendredi ultimately made a deal with the devil to sell antiques out of his shop that were cursed. Eventually the deal was broke by Vendredi and the devil came for his soul.
After the two cousins inherit the store they unknowingly sell off many of the cursed antiques left behind by their uncle. They then begin searching for these antiques when they are alerted about the curse by one of their uncle’s old friends. This is the basis of the story as you follow the pair on their journey to reclaim the antiques that were sold.
Most of the people that buy the cursed antiques discover their power and use it for revenge or other bad intentions. The cousins are on a quest to stop this behavior and prevent others from being hurt by the cursed objects. A human sacrifice must be made for the item to unleash its power and this is why the two are so diligent in finding all objects before this sacrifice is made.
Friday the 13th TV series was known for pushing the envelope and competing with many of the movies that were made at the time with an R rating. This caused a lot of stir but also added to the popularity of the series.
The series was nominated for two Emmy’s and won other awards and also there were many other technical aspects of the show that received very high recognition.
In 2008 a DVD collection was released for the public and this allows the biggest fans to have something on hand to remember this coveted series by.
Friday the 13th TV show may not have aired very long, but there are many people that miss it greatly. With the release of the DVD collection a new fondness for the series has arrived and this has many people reminiscing of the days when this series first aired.
