Following the groundbreaking success of Halloween (1978), Friday the 13th ushered in the 1980s by pushing the slasher genre into gorier territory. While the real Jason Voorhees didn't fully emerge until later, his ominous presence first haunted Camp Crystal Lake, cementing the original film as a horror essential. Across 12 films with 11 different directors, this hockey-masked icon has evolved from camp terror to undead monstrosity - even venturing into space and clashing with fellow horror legends.
For those celebrating today's ominous date with a slasher marathon, here's your complete guide to streaming the Friday the 13th franchise.
Streaming Availability for Friday the 13th Films
The Friday the 13th series has always been notoriously difficult to stream. While the first eight installments briefly appeared on Paramount+ last October, they've since migrated to Pluto TV's free ad-supported platform. The 2009 remake remains available on Max, while digital rentals/purchases are required for Jason Goes to Hell, Freddy vs Jason, and Jason X.
