- TriviaThough they share the same title, this series is not linked to the Friday the 13th movie series. The main characters search for magically-cursed objects that were sold through their uncle's store. Reportedly, the last item that was supposed to be retrieved by the characters in the series finale was to be a hockey mask which would undoubtedly have belonged to Jason Voorhees. While the show's crew did play with the idea of having a hockey mask in one of the episodes as an in-joke, there was never any serious intention to tie the film series with the television series.
- GoofsIn The Inheritance (1987), Micki and Ryan state that they are only related by marriage. Later on, in Pipe Dream (1988) it was established that Ryan's father, Ray, and Micki's mother, Catherine, were actually first cousins. therefore Micki and Ryan are second cousins and blood relations.
- Quotes
Lewis Vendredi: [to Jack] I'll send you straight to hell!
- Crazy creditsDuring the end credits, there is a shot of the item featured in each episode.
- Alternate versionsWhen originally aired in the 1980s, each episode began with a narrative explaining the background of the cursed antiques and how Nicky and Ryan now had to recover the cursed objects previously sold by their Uncle Lewis. In later syndication runs, as well as the extremely rare DVD release, this narrative is omitted from the start of the episodes which begin simply with the opening credits.

Featured review
Love Friday the 13th The Series!
My husband and I use to watch it every chance we'd get. Unfortunately, we can't seem to find it any where on re-runs.
I'm hoping to purchase the series on DVD, if available, so that we can enjoy it anytime we wish.
All it takes is one episode and you're hooked! We thought it was going to be more of a horror show and were pleasantly surprised it wasn't. It was a cross between the X Files and Twillight Zone.
We can't understand why more people don't know about this wonderful show. Maybe we'll get lucky and someone will make a movie out of the show. I'd go see it!!!
