FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE SERIES - MUSIC FROM THE ORIGINAL TELEVISION SCORES
Dragon’s Domain Records presents FRIDAY THE 13th: THE SERIES, featuring music composed and performed by Fred Mollin (FAST COMPANY, FOREVER KNIGHT, TEKWAR) for the supernatural horror fantasy television series, starring Louise Robey, Chris Wiggins, John D. LeMay and Steve Monarque. Created by Frank Mancuso Jr. and Larry B. Williams, the series ran for three seasons and 72 episodes, concluding on May 26, 1990.
Originally conceived as THE 13TH HOUR, the program adopted the FRIDAY THE 13TH name to evoke its recurring themes of bad luck, evil and ancient curses. Despite its title and several behind-the-scenes creative connections, the series had no direct narrative relationship to the Jason Voorhees film franchise.
Filmed in Toronto, FRIDAY THE 13th: THE SERIES developed a darker edge than much of contemporary television, combining a brooding Gothic atmosphere with unusually intense horror. Its anthology-like cursed-object stories allowed the series to move freely among psychological terror, monsters, witchcraft, revenge and the occult while maintaining the ongoing story of Curious Goods and its guardians.
An essential part of the show’s atmosphere was the music of composer Fred Mollin, whose scores gave the series much of its ominous and haunting identity. Moving effortlessly between suspense, melancholy, supernatural dread and outright terror, Mollin’s music became an integral part of the strange and shadowy world behind the doors of Curious Goods.
An early compact disc release from GNP Crescendo Records, Dragon’s Domain Records is excited to bring FRIDAY THE 13th : THE SERIES back to the marketplace in a 2 CD presentation, newly mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland, reprising the liner notes from the original album release, along with a new afterward from the composer.
Disc One contains the original soundtrack album released by GNP Crescendo Records. The program draws upon music from 13 episodes spanning the first two seasons of the series. Rather than presenting any single score in its entirety, the album was conceived as a musical overview of the program, bringing together many of the finest and most memorable moments Mollin selected from his work on the show.
Disc Two expands the collection with substantial presentations from two especially significant episodes: “Coven of Darkness”, the second season finale and the two-part third season premiere, “The Prophecies.”
Fred Mollin is an award-winning composer, record producer, songwriter, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist whose remarkably diverse career has encompassed popular music, film, television, and children’s recordings.
Born in New York and raised musically in Toronto, Mollin first achieved international recognition when he co-produced Dan Hill’s 1977 hit “Sometimes When We Touch.” The recording earned him the Juno Award for Producer of the Year and launched an extensive production career that has included acclaimed projects with Jimmy Webb, America, Johnny Mathis, Kris Kristofferson, Lamont Dozier, Billy Ray Cyrus, Rita Wilson, and many others.
A gifted multi-instrumentalist, Mollin frequently performs on his own productions, playing guitar, keyboards, bass, drums, and percussion while also contributing vocals and arrangements. His ability to move naturally among orchestral scoring, electronic textures, rock, country, pop, and intimate acoustic music has given his work a distinctive, highly personal voice.
FRIDAY THE 13th: THE SERIES is a limited edition release. FRIDAY THE 13th: THE SERIES is expected to begin shipping the week of October 28th, 2026.
