In this 1980 movie, the first of this frightening franchise, Camp Crystal Lake has been shuttered for over 20 years due to several vicious and unsolved murders. The camp’s new owner and seven young counselors are readying the property for re-opening despite warnings of a “death curse” by local residents. Surely you can see where this is going …
Fun fact: Keep an eye out for Golden Globe® winner and Emmy® nominee Kevin Bacon as camp counselor Jack, one of the actor’s earliest roles.
