Friday the 13th Fans Rejoice! Jaw-Dropping 4K Steelbooks Incoming!

Okay, horror hounds, gather 'round! Looks like those folks over at Paramount (via Arrow Video, bless their hearts) are throwing us a bone, or rather, a cleaver. Two brand-spankin' new 4K SteelBook Blu-ray editions of *Friday the 13th* films are gearing up to slash their way onto shelves next month. Get your wallets ready; pre-orders are live!

Friday the 13th Fans Rejoice! Jaw-Dropping 4K Stee...

First up, we've got a reprint of the 2009 remake. Remember that limited edition that dropped in 2024 and vanished faster than a camp counselor after a noise in the woods? Well, good news! It's back! And it's currently listed at a slightly less horrifying price of $32 (down from the original $50 asking price, which, let's be honest, was a bit much). You can snag your pre-order over on Amazon right now.

Marcus Nispel's 2009 re-imagining, for those who need a refresher, attempts to recapture the campy, gory goodness of the original. It’s not winning any awards for originality, but it certainly delivers on the over-the-top kills that we all secretly (or not so secretly) crave. This particular Arrow Video release boasts a reversible sleeve with some killer new artwork, and the special features are surprisingly robust. Think audio commentaries, behind-the-scenes interviews, deleted scenes (always a treat!), image galleries, and even a video essay titled "A Killer New Beginning." You'll also get archival featurettes like "The Rebirth of Jason Voorhees" and "The 7 Best Kills." Perfect for a deep dive into the making of this divisive remake.

But wait, there's more! Arriving alongside the remake is a *Friday the 13th: Part 2* 45th Anniversary Edition 4K SteelBook. This one is clocking in at a slightly more reasonable $27 (originally $31). Again, pre-orders are live on Amazon, so get clicking! This two-disc set features a remastered version of the 1981 sequel, along with a fresh batch of bonus content. Part 2, of course, picks up five years after the events of the original, and sees yet another group of blissfully unaware teenagers wandering into Jason's neck of the woods (or, you know, around Crystal Lake).

Inside this SteelBook, you'll find features such as "Inside 'Crystal Lake Memories'," which is always a fantastic watch for any serious *Friday* fan. There's also "Friday's Legacy: Horror Conventions" (because let's face it, half the fun of being a horror fan is geeking out with other horror fans!), "Lost Tales From Camp Blood - Part 2," a "Jason Forever" featurette, and the original theatrical trailer. A solid package for a classic slasher sequel.

Both of these bloody beauties are scheduled for release on February 3, 2026. Mark your calendars, folks! The *Friday the 13th* franchise, a true titan of the slasher genre, has given us twelve films (and counting!), video games, and countless nightmares. Whether you're a fan of the original, the sequels, or even the divisive remake, these 4K SteelBooks are a perfect way to celebrate the legacy of Jason Voorhees. Speaking of SteelBooks, these premium cases, especially this remake reprint featuring new cover art by Gary Pullin, are a real treat. Collectible cases *are* cool, after all. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some pre-ordering to do... Also, if you want a more in-depth review, you can continue reading over at GameSpot.
