<P> Frank Mancuso, Jr., a producer of the films, also developed the television show Friday the 13th: The Series after Paramount released Jason Lives . The television series was not connected to the franchise by any character or setting, but was created based on the idea of "bad luck and curses", which the film series symbolized . While the franchise was owned by Paramount, four films were adapted into novels, with Friday the 13th Part III adapted by two separate authors . When the franchise was sold to New Line Cinema, Cunningham returned as a producer to oversee two additional films, in addition to a crossover film with character Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street film series . Under New Line Cinema, thirteen novellas and various comic book series featuring Jason were published . </P> <P> Although the films were not popular with critics, Friday the 13th is considered one of the most successful media franchises in America--not only for the success of the films, but also because of the extensive merchandising and repeated references to the series in popular culture . The franchise's popularity has generated a fanbase who have created their own Friday the 13th films, fashioned replica Jason Voorhees costumes, and tattooed their bodies with Friday the 13th artwork . Jason's hockey mask has become one of the most recognizable images in horror and popular culture . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Film </Th> <Th> U.S. release date </Th> <Th> Director </Th> <Th> Writer (s) </Th> <Th> Story </Th> <Th> Producer (s) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Friday the 13th </Th> <Td> May 9, 1980 (1980 - 05 - 09) </Td> <Td> Sean S.
