And the whole "idea" was a rehashed idea anyways. Friday the 13th was an admitted knockoff of Halloween and planned as a franchise from the get go.
It was standout because they did an alright job, and built it as a cash cow from the get go, but it was just one of the series of knockoff slashers based around killing teenagers in the theme of a holiday.

After Halloween they sprung up all over the goddamn place. Friday the 13th, April Fools Day, My Bloody Valentine, Prom Night, etc.
I'm suprised Thanksgiving was realized as a fake trailer 2 years ago and not an actual franchise in the early 80s.

So F13 is classic shit, but it's hardly an original idea that they're suddenly rehashing.
After Black Christmas. It might not have driven the market but it started the market let's not go give Halloween all the credit without BC there is no Halloween
