How to watch the Friday the 13th movies in order of release

The 1980s were the most prolific time for the Friday the 13th franchise. The first eight instalments were released between 1980 and 1989 and introduced audiences to a new iconic slasher in Jason Voorhees. Although most of the films take place around the infamous Crystal Lake, they later deviate to also see him hack his way through Manhattan and even outer space in Jason X. Check out the full list of the Friday the 13th movies in order of release:

Freddy vs. Jason sees Jason go up against another notorious ‘80s cinematic slasher, Freddy Krueger of the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, in a crossover production. And in 2009, a Friday the 13th remake of sorts was released that gives Jason more backstory and provides a new take on the first four films.

How to watch the Friday the 13th movies in chronological order

Watching the Friday the 13th movies in chronological order is nearly identical to watching them in release order. The first four films remain the same, however the fifth is the 2009 remake that gives a new take on the first instalments.

From there, the list continues in release order, going through Jason’s new beginning, continued resurrection(s), and killing spree in Manhattan. The penultimate film on this list is 2003’s Freddy vs Jason, which chronologically takes place after Jason Goes to Hell, while the final instalment is 2002’s Jason X, which takes place some 400 years later where Jason is resurrected in space. Yes, in space.
