About Crystal Lake
A prequel to the Friday the 13th franchise, the series follows single mother Pam Voorhees who has been unable to shake her grief after her young, sickly son Jason tragically drowned in the town lake almost a year before. When two strangers arrive at Pam’s door digging into her past, a disturbing chain of events is set into motion, leaving the townspeople of Crystal Lake wondering: just who is Pam Voorhees?

Horror on Peacock
Crystal Lake continues NBCUniversal's legacy as the home of horror. In addition to Universal Pictures' horror film releases and Universal Destination & Experience's Halloween Horror Nights, Peacock has become home to a growing slate of acclaimed horror content, including Focus Features' Obsession, which recently surpassed $220 million at the global box office, becoming the highest grossing film in Focus Features history, James Wan’s Teacup, and the Emmy-winning documentary series John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise. The platform also offers a deep library of horror favorites, from Halloween and The Purge to Universal Pictures' classic monster films, making Peacock a year-round destination for horror enthusiasts.
