This forced Paramount Pictures to resubmit a new, “bloodless” version of the poster, which was approved by the MPAA. The film’s original one-sheet (Lower Left) was initially rejected by the organization’s Advertising Administration due to its depiction of Jason tearing through the famous “I Love New York” logo with a bloody knife and hockey mask. Such was the case with Friday The 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan in 1989. One area of censorship that our readers may not know about is that the MPAA can also dictate what is deemed appropriate for advertising a film as well. Friday The 13th fans have known for decades that the MPAA has never liked the existence of the Friday The 13th film franchise, and as such, is typically much more brutal on forcing cuts to the films in order to secure an R Rating from the board before film distribution.
