If Jason doesn’t kill you, the tracking problems will.

As we continue waiting for the next installment in the Friday the 13th franchise – which is allegedly headed our way in October 2017… allegedly – now is kind of the perfect time to revisit the 2009 remake of the original classic. We’re all hungry for Jason Voorhees to slash up the big screen once more, but the truth is, we already got a pretty awesome reboot seven years ago.

Directed by Marcus Nispel, the 2009 Friday the 13th was essentially a remake of the first three films in the original franchise, and though it certainly could’ve benefited from some more memorable kills, it was nothing if not a welcome return to form for the series. After Jason went to Manhattan, Hell, and then outer space, the franchise had become something of a joke, and with the 2009 remake, a whole lot of course-correction was done. Simply put, it FELT like a true, old-school Friday the 13th flick, and that’s just about all you can really ask for.

Speaking of old-school, one fan of the Friday the 13th remake over on YouTube just edited together his own trailer for the film that re-imagines it as an original franchise sequel from the ’80s, and not surprisingly, it feels right at home in the VHS era. The Friday the 13th “VHS Trailer” is in glorious standard definition, and it’s a fun homage to the 1980 film’s original trailer.

Enjoy!
