About this listen

On location in Blairstown: The Making of Friday the 13th covers the creation, planning, and filming of the iconic 1980 film, Friday the 13th in a way that no other film has been documented before. Through the memories of the cast and crew, many speaking for the first (and last) time, as well as previously-undiscovered production information and materials, On location in Blairstown takes the listener "on location" and back in time to 1979 for the filming of Friday the 13th and behind the scenes for all of the adventures, conflicts, and dramas that went into the making of one of the most enduring and popular horror films in history.

Great Listen

Good stories about the first movie. I did listen to it at 1.2x speed as it did as it seemed a little bit on the slow side listening.

Excellent

This is a must have for any Friday the 13th or horror fan. Even if you're not, it's so enjoyable that you'll view the movie in a whole new light afterwards. Excellent in every way.

I want to go back to Blairstown!

Outstanding book! Exhaustively researched and chock full of all the details you could ever hope to learn about the making of ‘Friday the 13th’! The narration seemed slightly sluggish at first…I found it flowed best at 1.2 speed.

Pretty good listen

While not as good as Taking Shape, this book was very informative about the original Friday the 13th. Hearing so much from everyone involved in the production was nice, and the author organized the information very well. Narrator was good, but not necessarily great. I recommend this for fans of 80's horror movies.

It’s like I was on the set of filming the original Friday the 13th film…

I loved the oral history of the Friday the 13th Franchise, but like the author and original producers seem to be I’m mostly in love with the original idea and production of the first film. The author did a wonderful job telling all the battle and triumphs behind the scenes. I wish more films could have their stories told with such precision as this author did. I loved hearing about the cast and crew and this book is really special.
