This series revolved initially around the adventures of two cousins, Ryan Dallion and Micki Foster, who inherited an antique shop, "Curious Goods," from their Uncle Vendredi. We find out in the first episode that Vendredi made a pact with the Devil, to sell cursed antiques. He recanted at the last minute and tried to recover the antiques, but was claimed by Hell. The cousins, aided by Vendredi's partner Jack Marshak, used the store's manifest to track down the cursed antiques, each of which fell into the hands of someone who inevitably used them for evil.

In the third season, Ryan was turned into a child and Johnny Ventura, a street punk who had helped them occasionally, took his place.less «

• Your Dream Cast ( F13th Series Re-Make)

  Okay, just something to throw out for ideas :) If F13th Series were re-made who would you like to see as a potential cast :) Ryan Dallion - Okay, the first requirement would be someone who has humor, nice-guy looks, and smart. After much thought, my first choice has to be: Nicholas Brendon aka Xander on Buffy the Vampire Slayer :) Brendon has the nice-guy looks, great witty timing and can be serious/funny in scenes. Perfect for who I think would be great for Ryan.   Michelle "Micki" Foster - Well besides being beautiful, she has to be able to pull off being savvy, smart, and quick witted. Yet, can illustrate vulnerbility at the same time. For this I chose Jennifer Ferrin formally known as Jennifer Munson on the soap As the World Turns. Now, I don't like the character she played but when I noticed the similiarites to Louise Robey, I had to buckle and admit it looked right and she's good enough of an actress to play the role :)   Jack Marshack - There isn't anyone quite as talented as Chris Wiggins, yet it visually and acting wise...we needed someone who seemed approachable, and endearing. What I love about Chris Wiggins is that no matter how clearly unrealistic some of the dialogue was concerning spells, and magic, Wiggins made it believable :) So I looked to someone who had similiar build but could play that kind of role, and I chose: John Rielly who is known to soap fans as the man who played Alister Crane on Passions. I don't watch the show too much, but what I saw made it seem believeable to me that Reilly could play Jack Marshack :)   So there you have...my take on who I think would be great! You know, I've always thought it would be cool if they made a follow-up series.   Since Ryan was made younger again, it would be interesting to see him as an adult now in his twenties trying to take over where Jack and Micki left off!   Now, here's the premise of an idea I had in mind...now I've always thought about writing a fan fiction about it :) Here's the gist:   Ryan is called back to Curious Goods after the untimely death of his cousin Micki. Jack is nowhere to be found, and we are led to believed kidnapped. Following an array of clues, he meets up with Micki's half-sister, Sarah (nickname Sadie). We see them work to unsolving the mystery and re-opening the antique shop and finding the rest of the cursed objects :)   *sigh* so many possibilities...wait...if F13th debuted around 1987 would that make it 20 years ago? Wow! Where has all the time gone? Feels like yesterday :( Well that does it! I WILL write a fan fiction in honor of their 20th anniversay! Seriously, can't they release the dvds by now! Grrr!       less «

• New forums on the internet for F13th

  Was just wondering if anyone knew of any new F13th forums or boards on the net. The 13th Hour message board is gone now, so wondering if any new ones were out there someplace.:D

  7.5 Good

  Still creepy after all these years hide « show »

  After having the opportunity to watch this show a little online, it is surprisingly still very creepy in spite of the cheesy 80's goodness. The plot & premise are very unusual and often scary in spite of the campy horror effects & the fact that its not really clear how the people know how to use the cursed antiques in the first place. You have to use a bit of belief suspension or disbelief, as it were. A guilty pleasure to watch when you're feeling retro and longing for a good 80's horror flick fix. As soon as you see Mickey's hair & shoulder pads, it will all come rushing back with perfect clarity.

  9.5 Superb

  I want more shows like this to be made. hide « show »

  This show brings back memories. I loved it. I remember being in middle school. It didn't seem like it was 3 seasons. And then it was gone-like so many of it's kind. The series always ends so abruptly. I haven't seen this show for over a decade & then saw it airing on SciFi. I'm hoping I get to see the whole series. They seem to only be playing it 1 day a week during work hours. Guess I need consider getting some sort of DVR. All in all, I think it is a neat concept & should be revisited.

  9.1 Superb

  This show should be on Dvd soon. Im looking forward to it. To make along story short. A uncle of curious goods makes a deal with the devil and tries to undo it at the end. And goes straight to hell. Two young cousins take over not knowing whats going on. hide « show »

  From the start I watched most of these episodes. I only missed a handful. I was a die hard fan. I even watched the repeats. Once in awhile they used to show it on the Sci-Fi channel. Returning cursed objects of any kind back to the shop. Im really suprised this show wasnt on for along time. It could of been so much more. And im thinking maybe they could of ended it to. On a great note. Tv shows come and go. This one still echoes in the back of my mind. I hope to hell one day this may come back. It would be great and im sure there would be alot of fans wanting this to. Time will only tell and I will enjoy the Dvds when there out.

  8.6 Great

  Friday the 13th was a great series of its time. hide « show »

  Although it was over before I was born, I still get to see repeats on the Scream channel. A very different show, indeed, Horror show, almost like The Hitchhiker. Both very interesting horror tv series. I usually watch this show either when I wake up in the morning or very late at night on the weekends. Some of the stories are both creepy & sad at the same time.
  
  I know this series doesn't really have anything to do with the movies but there is a little resemblance. Both deal with serial killers. And both amazing as well. I am never going to forget this show. It's a classic!

  10 Perfect

  I absolutely love this show. It's one of my all-time favorite shows ever. Micki, Ryan and Jack were awesome together. I would love to buy this show on DVD, and I also wish I could see Ryan, Micki, and Jack together again in a reunion movie. hide « show »

  This show was excellent and one of my all-time favorite shows ever. The premise was interesting, and I loved Micki, Ryan, and Jack. They were awesome together and made a great team. The first 2 seasons with Ryan were the best. I hated when Ryan left. The show wasn't as good, in my opinion, and I stopped watching. I would love to get this show on DVD (the seasons with Ryan), and maybe Micki, Ryan, and Jack could reunite in a reunion movie one day. I would love that! I've really missed them! Micki, Ryan, and Jack forever!!
