I don't remember Victor Miller ever really giving a damn about doing any Friday after the first, but I'd have to go back and check Crystal Lake Memories. AFAIK it was just a paycheck job for him. Same as Bob Guza, who cut his teeth before and during his early GH years writing several classic Canadian slasher films, like Curtains and the original Prom Night.
I'll admit I am less than enthused, as Crystal Lake (the upcoming Peacock show) began as yet another cursed Bryan Fuller project; he has grand ambitions but clearly does not play well with others or contain his scope to budgets, which always leads him to leaving lol. He wrote Crystal Lake's Pamela Voorhees for Charlize Theron, was going to bring back Adrienne King from the original, had assembled an impressive writers' room and obviously none of that is happening. I think he's a brilliant creative but a volatile personality, and at this point it's a shock if a Fuller project ever actually gets made with him still involved (a la the deeply troubled Star Trek: Discovery). The original Crystal Lake pilot script he wrote is floating around somewhere and I think they may have used it for their first episode (just as they did Discovery, with changes) but that's it.
Still, I love Linda Cardellini and F13 so I might take a look at it anyway.
