8 ‘Friday the 13th’ Movies Streaming for Free on Pluto TV

Jason Voorhees is slashing his way onto the Pluto TV schedule this Friday the 13th.

In honor of the superstitious day, considered to be the unluckiest day of the year, Paramount’s free streaming service is holding an eight-movie Friday the 13th marathon on Pluto TV Horror.

Considered to be one of the most iconic slasher franchises alongside the likes of Halloween and Scream, Friday the 13th first hit theaters in 1980 with the film of the same name. The franchise centers around Jason Voorhees, who as a boy drowned at Camp Crystal Lake. Decades later, his death sets off a summer camp massacre, with the body count growing over the course of 11 sequels.

Pluto TV Horror’s marathon kicks off on Friday at 12 p.m. ET with the original 1980 movie that spawned the horror franchise, and will continue throughout the day with airings of the next seven films through 1989’s Friday the 13th Part VII: Jason Takes Manhattan. For those who miss Friday’s marathon, a second marathon is scheduled for Sunday, with all eight movies also available on-demand on Pluto TV.
