Everyone's favourite asymmetric murder simulator was almost very different.
Happy Friday the 13th! It's that one day of the year most cherished by horror movie obsessives the world over, but nobody more so than fans of the Friday the 13th franchise itself.
Though the movie series has sadly fallen into a state of inactivity since the release of 2009's Friday the 13th reboot, Jason Voorhees' legacy continues to live on through Illfonic's multiplayer survival horror video game, aptly titled Friday the 13th: The Game.

The game's player-base has admittedly thinned out in recent times, with only the most committed fans still sticking with it, but it nevertheless endures as one of the most creative and entertaining video games ever based on a movie - flaws and all.
