Look out, camp counselors: A ‘Friday the 13th’ series is in the works

By Tim Surette TV Guide

Don’t have sex! Don’t do drugs! And for crying out loud, don’t fumble with  your car keys while running away from a crazy murderer!

A television series based on the “Friday the 13th” horror film  franchise is in development from Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films and Crystal Lake  Entertainment, according to Deadline. Sean  S. Cunningham, who directed the original 1980 horror film, is among the  potential series’ executive producers. No network is attached to the  project.

The hourlong horror-drama would bring hockey mask-wearing slasher Jason  Vorhees back into pop culture after terrorizing audiences in a dozen films  spread over 29 years and inspiring decades of simple Halloween costumes. Bill  Basso (“The Terminator”) and Jordu Schell (“Avatar”) are writing the script,  which will be set across multiple time periods but focus on Jason’s former  killing grounds, Camp Crystal Lake, and the residents who deal with Jason’s  return in present day.

Are you brave enough to watch a Friday the 13th series?
