When it comes to slasher movie franchises, few are as beloved or as long-running as the Jason Voorhees-starring Friday the 13th series. The hockey-masked slasher franchise released 12 movies from two different studios over the course of 29 years. It’s been a bit stagnant for a while, thanks to its complicated rights issues, but Friday the 13th has never drifted from the horror spotlight. As they wait for something new from the franchise (a prequel series is in the works at Peacock), the longtime Friday fans have an opportunity to revisit many of the Jason films they love so much.
June saw Pluto TV add the majority of the Friday the 13th franchise to its lineup, making those movies completely free for anyone to stream. The only caveat, of course, is that you’ll have to sit through a few ads.
Pluto TV brought all of the Paramount-released Friday the 13th movies to the streaming lineup at the start of the month, which accounts for a whopping two-thirds of the Jason Voorhees franchise. Paramount’s entries account for the first eight films in the series: Friday the 13th, Friday the 13th Part 2, Friday the 13th: Part 3, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Friday the 13th: A New Beginning, Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, Friday the 13th: The New Blood, and Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan.
So if you’re wanting to binge through the Jason movies from start to finish, Pluto has you mostly covered. The only films missing from the free streamer’s lineup are Jason Goes to Hell, Jason X, Freddy vs. Jason, and the 2009 Friday the 13th reboot.
