==Other media== ===Sequel and franchise=== {{further|Friday the 13th (franchise)}} As of 2018, ''Friday the 13th'' has spawned ten sequels, including [[Freddy vs. Jason|a crossover film]] with ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street (franchise)|A Nightmare on Elm Street]]'' villain [[Freddy Krueger]].{{sfn|Robinson|2012|p=201}} ''[[Friday the 13th Part II]]'' introduced [[Jason Voorhees]], the son of Mrs. Voorhees, as the primary antagonist, which would continue for the remaining sequels (with exception of the fifth movie) and related works.{{sfn|Kendrick|2017|p=325}} Most of the sequels were filmed on larger budgets than the original. For comparison, ''Friday the 13th'' had a budget of $550,000, while the first sequel was given a budget of $1.25 million.{{sfn|Bracke|2006|pp=314–15}} At the time of its release, ''[[Freddy vs. Jason]]'' had the largest budget, at $30 million.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=freddyvsjason.htm |title=Freddy Vs. Jason (2003) |work=Box Office Mojo |access-date=June 25, 2017 |archive-date=June 27, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170627044120/http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=freddyvsjason.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> All of the sequels repeated the premise of the original, so the filmmakers made tweaks to provide freshness. Changes involved an addition to the title—as opposed to a number attached to the end—like "[[Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter|The Final Chapter]]" and "[[Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan|Jason Takes Manhattan]]", or filming the movie in [[3-D film|3-D]], as Miner did for ''[[Friday the 13th Part III]]'' (1982).{{sfn|Bracke|2006|p=73–74}} One major addition that would affect the entire film series was the addition of Jason's [[Goalie mask|hockey mask]] in the third film; this mask would become one of the most recognizable images in popular culture.<ref name="ABC">{{cite news|author= Kemble, Gary|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/arts/articulate/200601/s1546063.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060115102105/http://www.abc.net.au/news/arts/articulate/200601/s1546063.htm|archive-date=January 15, 2006|title=Movie Minutiae: the Friday the 13th series (1980-?)|publisher=[[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|ABC]]|date=January 13, 2001}}</ref> A [[Friday the 13th (2009 film)|reboot to ''Friday the 13th'']] was released theatrically in February 2009, with ''Freddy vs. Jason'' writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift hired to script the new film.<ref name="Shan/Swif">{{cite web |last=Kit |first=Borys |url=https://hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3ia426500233e132c71ea0487278b5bbb3 |title=Duo pumps new blood into 'Friday the 13th' |work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |date= October 2, 2007 |access-date=June 25, 2017 |archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20071011092956/https://hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3ia426500233e132c71ea0487278b5bbb3 |archive-date = October 11, 2007}}</ref> The film focused on Jason Voorhees, along with his trademark hockey mask.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://bloody-disgusting.com/news/10058 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121004212933/https://bloody-disgusting.com/news/10058/ |archive-date=October 4, 2012 |title=Platinum Confirmations: Near Dark, Friday the 13th Remakes |work=The Hollywood Reporter |date= October 3, 2007 |access-date=June 25, 2017}}</ref> The film was produced by [[Michael Bay]], Andrew Form and Brad Fuller through Bay's production company [[Platinum Dunes]], for [[New Line Cinema]].<ref name="Shan/Swif"/> In November 2007, [[Marcus Nispel]], director of the 2003 remake of ''[[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003 film)|The Texas Chainsaw Massacre]]'', was hired to direct.<ref>{{cite news |last=Kit |first=Borys |url=https://hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3ib4d95be28520da0db0f10edad41c0123 |title=Nispel scores a date with next 'Friday' |work=The Hollywood Reporter |date= November 14, 2007 |access-date=June 25, 2017 |archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20081122145427/https://hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3ib4d95be28520da0db0f10edad41c0123 |archive-date=November 22, 2008 }}</ref> The film had its United States release on February 13, 2009.<ref name="release">{{cite web|url=http://www.fearnet.com/MCNewsDetailPage.aspx?catid=30&mid=14390|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081219023637/http://www.fearnet.com/news/b10917_young_jason_cast_in_friday_13th_remake.html|archive-date=December 19, 2008|title=Young Jason Cast in Friday the 13th remake|publisher=FearNet|date=May 15, 2008}}</ref> ===Novelization=== In 1987, seven years after the release of the motion picture, Simon Hawke produced a novelization of ''Friday the 13th''. One of the few additions to the book was [[Pamela Voorhees|Mrs. Voorhees]] begging the Christy family to take her back after the loss of her son; they agreed.{{sfn|Hawke|1987|pp=164–168}} Another addition in the novel is more understanding in Mrs. Voorhees' actions. Hawke felt the character had attempted to move on when Jason died, but her psychosis got the best of her. When Steve Christy reopened the camp, Mrs. Voorhees saw it as a chance that what happened to her son could happen again. Her murders were against the counselors, because she saw them all as responsible for Jason's death.{{sfn|Grove|2005|p=50}} ===Comic books=== A number of scenes from the film were recreated in ''Friday the 13th: Pamela's Tale'', a two-issue comic book prequel released by [[WildStorm]] in 2007. In 2016, the book ''On Location in Blairstown: The Making of Friday the 13th'' was released detailing the planning and filming of the movie.<ref>{{cite book|title=Weird New Jersey. issue 46.|date=April 2016|page=50}}</ref> ===Video game=== In 2007, Xendex released game-adaptation movie ''Friday the 13th'' for [[mobile phone]]s. In the game, the player plays as Annie Phillips (but unlike in the film she doesn't die), one of the counselors at Camp Crystal Lake. While the staff is preparing the camp for its first summer weekend, an "unknown stalker" begins murdering each of them. The player must discover the truth and escape the camp alive.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.xendex.com/index.php?page=0&categoryid=1&gameid=144&PHPSESSID=669c6a00cab6d2858b4ba5a9b47ee008|title=Friday the 13th (mobile phone game)|publisher=Xendex.com|access-date=2009-04-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080613203806/http://www.xendex.com/index.php?&page=0&categoryid=1&gameid=144|archive-date=2008-06-13|url-status=live}}</ref> ===''Crystal Lake'' prequel series=== On October 31, 2022, a ''Friday the 13th'' prequel streaming series was announced, titled ''Crystal Lake''.
