When studios make DVD extras they hire people who most of the time are not "Fans of the Film" that they are working on. The First Release "Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me" is an example of a passionless produced product.

That is not the case here. "Crystal Lake Memories" is a professionally produced product that happened to be made by people who love the films and that comes across hear "LOUD AND CLEAR".

Each film is covered here. There is interviews of the cast as well returning to certain locations.

I found the most entertaining segments were the ones devoted to "Friday the 13th Part IV" and "Friday the 13th Part VII"

I have no complaints about this documentary. I just wish that the fans could raise the funds and restore the gore that was edited out of each film.

You don't need the actors to come back. Body doubles and insert shots is all we need.
