“There’s no underestimating the power of someone’s dreams, is there?” — Jack Marshak One of the great buried shows of the 1980s, "Friday the 13th: The Series," remains one of the most creative, darkest, bloodiest, and all-around satisfying genre television experiences of that entire era. Micki (Louise Robey, or simply “Robey”) and Ryan (John D. Le May) joined Jack Marshak — portrayed excellently by the late Chris Wiggins — as the proprietors of their late Uncle Louis Vendredi’s (E.G. Marshall) antique shop, Curious Goods. There, in what I presume is Manitoba, they hunted down the cursed items that led to Uncle Louis’s death and damnation, along with the unlucky souls — usually downbeat ne’er-do-wells — who possessed them and unleashed their startling supernatural properties. All of which, inevitably, backfired on the unlucky wielder.
