Two supposedly safe havens for teenagers in the 1980's were bathed in blood in 1986's Chopping Mall and 1980's Friday the 13th. After recently unveiling their artwork for their Friday the 13th vinyl, Waxwork Records has announced the release dates and full details of both movie scores, so you can mark your calendars in blood red.
