FRIDAY THE 13TH opens. Defying the limitations of its shoe-string budget & a bland cast of unknowns, Sean Cunningham's scrappy slasher movie (written by Victor Miller) becomes a runaway hit paving the way for freshly minted boogeyman Jason to ply his gruesome handiwork in 12 lucrative sequels. Featuring a young Kevin Bacon alongside veteran Betsy Palmer.
