The Crystal Lake Cronicles

[Allio]

Last year, news broke that Friday the 13th creator Sean S. Cunningham was executive producing the new series, entitled Friday the 13th: Crystal Lake Chronicles. Cunningham was at the Monster Mania convention this past weekend, and according to Friday the 13th The Franchise fansite, he dropped some new details about what to expect from the series.

The site reports that Cunningham has "confirmed interest from the CW in regards to pickup for the tv show." He reportedly said that the basic premise of the series will focus on the real city of Crystal Lake, looking at the effect that the serialized films had on the town.

The serialized films would be based on the "real life" killings that took place at the camp, which allows the series to reimagine Jason in a more grounded reality. Reportedly, the hockey masked Jason and a more serious backwoods inspired killer will make appearances on the series.

Original reports for the series suggested it would be "sort of a Smallville," also claiming that the focus would be on the characters of Crystal Lake. There has also been previous talk of showing Jason in multiple time periods with the use of flashbacks.

cousins mickey and ryan inherit an antique store from their satanist uncle show died when he tried to break free of his deal with the devil. (he made a deal with satan to live forever in exchange for selling cursed objects) and now they must track down the items and retrieve them and hide them safely so they don't do anymore harm.
