Friday the 13th franchise

The film was first released in 1980, with many sequels that followed on from their, ending in the remake of the first one in 2009 in order to keep the younger generation up to date with the classic slasher movies of 20/30 years ago.

The film focused and revolved around the character Jason,who only makes an appearance at the end of the film to keep the suspense levels up amongst the audience in order to gain a more visceral reaction from the audience.

The franchise of Friday the 13th came along as freddy vs jason, which was cleverly done as it combinded the two most notable characters of the slasher genre which attracted more audience members.

The film crew had been changed for the remakes to give a slightly new edge to the remaining movies rather than still having aspects of 'old school' which could repel audience members.

The film was made into a novel and also comic books
