Most Garden State horror buffs know (and take pride in the fact) that Friday The 13th was filmed in New Jersey. The iconic 1980 slasher flick tells the story of a group of teenage camp counselors who are murdered one by one by an unknown killer while attempting to re-open an abandoned summer camp. That summer camp (Camp Crystal Lake in the film) is New Jersey’s own Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco. Other film scenes were shot in and around Hardwick, Hope, and Blairstown.

You can see many of the movie's filming locations over the course of guided 95-minute trolley tour.

There will be several stops, two brief walking tours, and multiple group photo opportunities. The tour is educational in nature and designed to provide movie fans with information regarding the making of the movie while visiting several original movie locations.
But you get more than a trolley tour! Enjoy a delicious buffet catered by Gourmet Gallery.

It includes a garden salad, carved smoked ham, baked lemon chicken, baked penne with vodka sauce, candied carrots, a mash-potato station, roasted vegetables, fresh dinner rolls, and a dessert station.
