Where was Friday the 13th (1980) filmed?

1980 film directed by Sean S. Cunningham

Friday the 13th (1980) was filmed in Warren County, Blairstown, Hope and Hardwick Township, 4 places named in its Wikipedia article's Filming section, in the United States. Wikidata itself records the shoot only as New Jersey. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a statement, and every claim on this page says which it is.

Places per Wikipedia's Filming section

Wikipedia’s Filming section names 4 places. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Places whose own article says it was shot there

3 places whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

• Blairstown United States

  “Scenes from the horror film Friday the 13th were filmed on Blairstown's Main Street, and at the Blairstown Diner on Route 94; the Boy Scout camp No-Be-Bo-Sco in adjacent Hardwick Township was the site for Camp Crystal Lake.” Wikipedia

• Hardwick Township United States

  “The original Friday the 13th movie was filmed at Hardwick's local Boy Scout Camp, No-Be-Bo-Sco.” Wikipedia

Recorded only at country level

Wikidata also records this film as shot in New Jersey, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable — a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote — so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
