This end comes from NC (which is a pretty neat web show) and with the release of a Nightmare on Elm St film tomorrow, the big baddies of the 80s have all made the jump to remake land.

Friday the 13th (1980)
Friday the 13th is a 1980 American slasher film directed by Sean S. Cunningham and written by Victor Miller. The film stars Betsy Palmer, Adrienne King, Harry Crosby and Kevin Bacon in one of his earliest roles. The film concerns a group of teenagers who re-open an abandoned camp site years after a young boy drowned in a nearby lake. One by one, the teens fall victim to a mysterious killer.

Friday the 13th (2009)
Friday the 13th is a 2009 American horror film directed by Marcus Nispel, and written by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift. It is a reboot of the Friday the 13th film series,[4][5] which began in 1980 and previously released the 2003 crossover Freddy vs. Jason. Nispel also helmed the 2003 remake of Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), while Shannon and Swift wrote the screenplay for Freddy vs. Jason. The film stars Derek Mears as Jason Voorhees, with Jared Padalecki, Amanda Righetti, and Danielle Panabaker portraying the male and female leads. Friday the 13th follows Clay Miller (Padalecki) as he searches for his missing sister, Whitney (Righetti), who is taken by Jason while camping in the woods at Crystal Lake.

Now I hope this works out, each film will be judged on 5 criteria, and whichever wins majority gets your vote.

1) Main lead/villain/character
2) Supporting case (in this case, all those kids who die)
3) Plot (oddly enough very different for a remake)
4) Style/look
5) Overall package/appeal
