Friday the 13th (1980 film)
"Friday the 13th" was produced and directed by Sean S. Cunningham, who had previously worked with filmmaker Wes Craven on the film "The Last House on the Left". Cunningham, inspired by John Carpenter's "Halloween", wanted "Friday the 13th" to be shocking, visually stunning and "[make] you jump out of your seat." Wanting to distance himself from "The Last House on the Left", Cunningham wanted "Friday the 13th" to be more of a "roller-coaster ride."
