Friday the 13th Franchise Hits Multiple Streaming Services Ahead of Halloween (But a Few Movies Are Missing)

by

One way to rephrase your text in a more natural and easy-to-read manner: There’s nothing quite like diving into a horror series during September and October. While it’s always fun to watch horror movies, there’s something special about these autumn months, as they lead up to Halloween, that amps up the excitement. If you’re looking for some series to binge during this “Spooky Season,” consider the long-lasting slasher franchises from the ’80s, which frequently discovered imaginative (and sometimes outrageous) means to resurrect their horror icons. The Friday the 13th franchise is a classic example of this genre, and following the Jason Voorhees saga will be more convenient than ever during the Halloween season.

Approximately two-thirds of the “Friday the 13th” film series has been made available across not one, but two streaming platforms as of early September. The first eight movies from this horror franchise can now be found on Paramount+ and Pluto TV. Notably, viewers can access Pluto TV for free streaming.

To put it simply, you have the opportunity to watch all the films from the Jason Voorhees saga, which are owned by Paramount, at either of two streaming platforms. On these services, you can enjoy a marathon of movies like “Friday the 13th,” “Friday the 13th Part II,” “Friday the 13th Part III,” “Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter,” “Friday the 13th: A New Beginning,” “Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives,” “Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood,” and “Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan.

Where to Stream Friday the 13th

It’s quite a lot when a franchise has eight films, but it would be disappointing for enthusiasts to discover that the last four installments of the Friday the 13th series aren’t available alongside their earlier counterparts on streaming platforms. The problem lies in the fact that New Line Cinema acquired the distribution rights for Friday the 13th films following the flop of Jason Takes Manhattan, which means the streaming agreements for those final four movies are not the same as those for the Paramount films.

Currently, none of those four films – “Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday”, “Jason X”, “Freddy vs. Jason”, and the “Friday the 13th” remake – are available for streaming on any subscription service. If you don’t have a personal copy of these movies (which is often the ideal choice for beloved films), your only options are to either buy or rent them on-demand for viewing.

Horror Movies Streaming on Paramount+

As a die-hard cinema enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that “Friday the 13th” films are among the chilling horrors now gracing the screens on Paramount+, joining the ranks at the beginning of September. Alongside Peacock, Paramount+ has truly shone as a beacon this fall for horror aficionados like myself, offering up an array of spine-tingling classics such as “Blade”, “I Know What You Did Last Summer”, “The Crow”, “Scary Movie”, “The Addams Family”, and the nerve-wracking “Overlord”.
