If at least Chris hasn't seen it, I would be very surprised.
YES!! I have long said that Part 4 was my favorite, although it seems that most people go with the original movie. The ending of Part 4 with Jason's head going down the machete along with Crispin Glover's dancing makes it the best.
Part 6 has always been my favourite. I love all of the original 8 Friday movies though. Even the bad ones (5/8) I still find them really entertaining. They also age like fine wine for me. As I get older and there’s less movies coming out that I can relate to I can always put on one of the Fridays and I’ll be happy for 90minutes.

Thanks to Alo and Pardo for starting the movie ranking series of The Monster's Den. Very interesting and informative. I have laughed several times at Chris' propensity to buy multiple copies of something and then got to thinking that, well, in music I likely bought the original album, then an 8 track, then a cassette and then at least one CD version of most of the hundreds of albums originally owned. So thanks, Chris, for making me laugh at myself, too. Looking forward to the next movie ranking episode of the Den and thanks again for creating shows that are fun to watch.
What a fun video! I really enjoyed this one. Great idea to rank this classic franchise! Thanks guys!
Chris Alo is a legend. He's always such a great guest on your show, Pete.

I just blurted out "I agree!" and got a round of applause from other people suffering through that turkey along with me.

I like the first one to be honest. It sets the scene for others to follow. Fantastic acting by Betsy Palmer

In retrospect, I think it's still the best along with Part 2. The ones that followed would get more silly as they went along, but watchable and fun of course. I love Part 7, it's almost like a stand-alone horror story about telekinesis so it can be watched like that as well. Lincoln made a great debut as a young hooker in the TV movie Children of the Night (1985), with Kathleen Quinlan and Nicholas Campbell.

Well done guys! And I was pumped to see that you also rank The Final Chapter (despite the misleading title) as your favorite, as it is mine is well. You took the words right out of my mouth--the "quintessential" Friday the 13th movie.
fantastic topic choice
Just bought the boxset off of amazon. Chris sold me on it. Can't wait to watch!
The first one: proof that Betsy Palmer was one underrated actress! She's still missed.
Kane Hodder as Jason is an Icon
Love the new idea of ranking the horror franchise's. Halloween and Texas Chainsaw would be great additions! And thanks Chris, I didn't know this was out. That is a awesome looking box set! Time to upgrade all these DVDs!
How about ranking the Halloween and Elm Street movies? Oh, and Top 5 John Carpenter? Top 5 Stephen King adaptations?
Good job Pete and Chris, really enjoy this series. It is pretty simple for me, the first 4 in order then the rest lumped into a pick'em grab bag.
I love the first one BUT I have to agree with Part 4!! It probably is my favorite, although 1, 2 & 3 are all good too! I have the first 8 on dvd, I don't think I've ever seen anything newer than that. Might have to give them a watch! Great vid guys!
This series is easy watching horror comfort food. 4 was my introduction when I was 9 or 10 and is still my favourite. Joe Zito directed Invasion USA, which is also a mighty fun hoot 🤟
I have enjoyed a lot this video!! I hope you are thinking of doing the same with other famous horror franchises like Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Psycho, The Exorcist, The Omen, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre... It´s a lot of fun, specially with the great Chris Alo. Keep going!!!
Something charming about the pre-hockey mask couple of films, as I usually refer to parts 1 & 2. 3 is also fun, after that too formulaic in my opinion.
I'd love to see you guys rank the Nightmare On Elm St. series next!! Easily my favorite film series of all time
“It still bothers me to this day” lol.Me too Chris! His look completely changed from part 2 to part 3.
The drowning of Jason in Part 6 makes a little sense,since he "drowned" when he was a kid.
Part 3 retconned Jason's size. Although I agree that it is dumb that he does not have the overalls, which should have been in the flashback.
i love my scream factory box set. the alternative covers are so cool
Friday the 13th Best to Worst 2020 Edition: 6,4,2,X,1,5,7,Vs,3,Reboot,9,8. This was after my rewatching last year after getting the new box set. But I literally change my mind every time I watch them. Looking forward to your lists.
The second I started watching this segment, I placed the final chapter as my favorite. Nice to see great minds think alike 😁
Part 6 was the best, especially the James Bond intro.
Never disagree with Chris Alo.....He is the king of horror reviews....
As a huge horror fan. I have 4/5 sets of F13 myself DVD/Blu-Ray. You know eventually a 4K set is coming. Most would agree between the good and the bad, but as a fan they are enjoyable. Every once in a while I pull them out and go through the series. A kill or two were ripped from Mario Bava's A Bay of Blood aka Twitch of The Death Nerve.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 4 - Final Chapter Part 3 Part 7 - New Blood Part 6 - Jason Lives Part 8 - Jason Takes Manhattan Friday the 13th (2009) Part 5 - New Beginning Part 10 - Jason X Freddy vs. Jason Part 9 - Jason Goes to Hell
I am eating a banana in honour of the fallen hitchhiker from part 4. Rip.
Excellent!!
Great list! You should do the Hellraiser movies list
A New Beginning is worth it for the Porta potty scene alone lol!
Cant believe u both have Jason Lives so low. Its AWESOME,so self aware,in on the joke but so good doing it.
I just watched the first ten again. Not counting the other two they’re not official ones. Jason Takes Manhattan is the most underrated, never understood the hate towards it, most rank it near the bottom, Chris actually ranked it last which really shocks me because it’s fun, never boring, and gory. Not that it even matters but they’re in New York for 36 minutes by the way. But each to their own. 1. Part 3 2. Part 2 3. Part 1 4. Part 6 5. Part 4 6. Part 8 7. Part 7 8. Part 5 9. X 10. Part 9
The Final Chapter is the best. Such a shame they had to do “quick cuts” to avoid seeing the full kill sequences due to the MPAA crackdown. Now you can get away with anything these days! Lol.

Part 2, Part 4 and Part 6 is top 3 for me. Difficult too choose order doh
Love this channel. Pete is pretty damn cool ☺
1 and 2 are untouchable for what amount of story they do manage to include. 3 and 4 are also awesome because of the special effects budgets. I wouldn't be bothered much if none happened since.
Awesome show!!!
Love this series! Jason Lives and Freddy VS Jason are tied for my favorite. Final Chapter is a close second.
A lot of fun, guys, but wow - FRIDAY 6: JASON LIVES for me is right behind THE FINAL CHAPTER, one of the best in the series. Most fans have it as 1 or 2, so it's very rare to see it ranked so low by two fans. But that's part of what makes such discussions interesting. Much appreciated.
Easily my favorite horror franchise. Thanks guys for putting this together. 1. Part 2 2. Friday the 13th 3. Part 3 4. Part 4 5. The New Beginning The rest have their moments and are okay with moments of fun and mayhem but require viewing to rank. I just know that Jason X and Part 8 are scraping the bottom. Freddy vs. Jason was a major disappointment and the end result was "why did they bother?".
The Hatchet series starring Kane Hodder are also good slasher films.

Yes, fun movies!
Great episode. I also think this is one of the franchise that I have the most fun with. Keep in mind that the first 8 were made in the 80s! which was the best decade for slashers. Nowdays, they would hack you to death with jason's machete with social messages (looking at you Blumhouse). Also, I wonder how they got David Cronenberg to do a cameo in JasonX. Although he was AWESOME in NightBreed.
Saw part 1 and 2 at cinema very long time ago. Good at the time, felt no need to see others as sequels generally get worse, just recycling same formula, but with a lower grade quality.
You got to read on location in Blair town the making of Friday the 13th. I really like it.david grove does a good job. There are a bunch of interviews with the actors,and producers.
I recommend the music video "A New Beginning" from the band "Wolfie's Just Fine", a great homage to the Friday 13th franchise.
Part 6 is my favorite by a long shot. 4-6 are definitely my favorite three, 7 is probably my favorite after that. I actually kinda like Jason Takes Manhattan though, especially Julius's courageous last stand on the rooftop. It was cool to see a guy standing up to Jason. I would have loved Jason Goes to Hell if they had just been able to use Tommy Jarvis as they apparently intended to. Totally on-point about The Hidden! But nonetheless, I'd have loved a version of The Hidden starring Tommy Jarvis!
I bought this set and love it. Also I have 3dTV and part III looks looks so much better with real 3d. First edition that doesn't use anaglyph. I did have them send the 3 replacement discs, and it DID make a difference in those discs.
I would also like to add that ranking the films of a particular horror franchise is a terrific idea. How about the Halloween franchise next?
I checked out from the series after the fourth one, I saw all of them when they came out...but all of those were good, the first one is still such a classic of the genre. Would be cool if they brought the mother back somehow in a low budget/lo-fi a la’ the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Maybe with Jason with the bag on his head a la’ #2, always thought the bag was creepier than the hockey mask. The pace, atmosphere and camera shots are what made the first one so great, something that’s mostly lacking in the others...too many gimmicks and silliness.
I don't know the exact day this video was posted, but I'd like to give a nod to Mark Richman (he was in Jason Takes Manhatten) who passed on Jan 14th. Besides many great rolls in movies/TV, he married in 1953 and remaind with her until his death.
I feel like the bad ones outnumber the good ones, but overall they are all a lot of fun. ALWAYS cool to see Chris. I feel like literally every word out of him is somehow something interesting. Wish i could say the same for myself, haha.
I know I'm in the minority, but I love JASON X.

My favorite horror franchise of all time! Part 2 and Part 4 are my favorite of the bunch! I'm also a really big fan of Part 5! It had great kills and the best naked girls of the entire series. It still has the feel of the early Fridays. It's also light years better than anything from after Part 6.

and… the whole series owes its existence to Halloween

Jason takes Manhattan 10. Jason Goes to Hell 9. Freddy vs Jason 8. The New Blood 7. A New Beginning 6. Friday the 13th (2009) 5. Jason Lives 4. Friday the 13th pt. 3 3. The Final Chapter 2. Friday the 13th pt 2 1. Friday the 13th (1980)
Yea what I like about the (Final chapter) is its very dark, and Jason is learking more in the shadows in this film except at the end.
Kinda surprised none of you commented on the «genius» distinction between real Jason and fake Jason in Part V, where the markings on the mask are blue when it’s the paramedic Roy Burns, while the original Jason mask has red markings.
Part 3 and Part 2 have the magic. They have always had the magic, and the epic end chase scene in Part 3 is the zenith of the series.
I went to look up Savage Streets because of this video.
Chris has the cuts the Director hasn't. 😂😂😂
Amazing idea for a new show, love horror films, the final chapter is number one for me closely followed by friday 6. The rest are interchangeable except the dreadful jason takes Manhattan. Also love friday 2 due to Ginny being the best final girl imo, even liked the simple bag over the head design for jason. Will there be a cradle of filth ranking show at any point?
I NEED IN ON THIS
Also, Chris rules. Love your commentary.

Jason in Manhattan is great :P .... But my favorite is the second one when Jason 1st appear ;)

It's all part of the continuity. Amy Steele pulled off the sack because she wanted to look at his face, then he's been walking around with nothing covering his face until he finds the hockey mask. Kind of weird but whatever lol. Also I think 2 3 and 4 take place within just a few days of eachother. But then since it's a flashback from the summer before or something it really doesn't make much sense lol
1. Friday the 13th II 2. Friday the 13th IV (The Final Chapter) 3. Friday the 13th 4. Friday the 13th III 5. Friday the 13th (2009) 6. Friday the 13th VI 7. Friday the 13th V (A New Beginning) 8.

If you ever consider doing a ranking show with another fan, I would love to tackle the Godzilla franchise with you! I have every one on DVD and have seen them all multiple times, and can give a pretty good analysis on each one.
