Where To Watch The Friday The 13th Movies

Okay, let's talk Friday the 13th. Where do you even BEGIN to watch these movies?

The Streaming Swamp

Streaming services are a tricky beast. One minute Friday the 13th Part III is available, the next? Vanished! Like Jason after being stabbed (again).

Keep checking Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, and Amazon Prime. They play hot potato with these films. Don't get too attached to any one platform.

Don't forget about those smaller streaming services. Shudder might have a few lurking in its horror library.

The Rental Route

Sometimes, old-fashioned rentals are the way to go. Think of it as a digital trip to Blockbuster! (RIP Blockbuster.)

Platforms like Apple TV, Google Play, and Vudu often have rentals. Pay a few bucks and enjoy Jason's rampage.

It's a reliable option if you absolutely NEED your Friday the 13th fix.

Physical Media: The Unkillable Option

Okay, unpopular opinion time: physical media is superior. Hear me out!

Blu-rays and DVDs? They're FOREVER. Streaming services can't snatch them away. You own them. Jason can't take them from you!

Plus, special features! Behind-the-scenes stuff. Commentary tracks. It's a horror fan's dream come true.

You could scour eBay or Amazon for box sets. Prepare your wallet, though. Some of these are collector's items.

Navigating the Franchise Fog

With so many Friday the 13th movies, it's easy to get lost. Which one do you even watch first?

Chronological order? Release order? It's all up to you. But here's a secret:

They're not all masterpieces! Some are... less good than others. Let's be honest. But they’re still fun in their own way.

Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives is a personal favorite. It knows what it is, and it embraces the ridiculousness. Pure, unadulterated cheesy goodness.

And Jason X? Okay, maybe that one's a bit TOO far. But hey, space Jason! You can't say it's not original.
