Paramount launches the last of their "Friday the 13th" reissues Sept. 15 with deluxe DVD editions of "Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood" and "Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan."

Unfortunately, the fabled uncensored version of "Part VII: The New Blood" isn't included. Instead fans are again forced to witness the mess created by the MPAA goon squad after they rode an industrial lawn mower over John Carl Buechler's "Carrie" inspired sequel.

MSRP for the films is $16.99. Bonus features include:

FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VII: THE NEW BLOOD
• Killer Commentary by director John Carl Buechler and actors Lar Park Lincoln and Kane Hodder
• Jason's Destroyer: The Making of Friday the 13th Part VII
• Mind Over Matter: The Truth about Telekinesis
• Makeover by Maddy: Need a Little Touch-Up Work, My Ass
• Slashed Scenes (with intro)

FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VIII: JASON TAKES MANHATTAN
• Killer Commentary by writer/director Rob Hedden and actors Jensen Daggett and Kane Hodder
• New York Has A New Problem - The Making of Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan
• Gag Reel
• Slashed Scenes
