Episodes
Season 1
Title    Cursed antique    Details    Notes

The Inheritance    A doll that kills people for its owner. The doll can control toys, causing them to move or do other odd things.    Micki Foster and her cousin, Ryan Dallion, inherit their Uncle Lewis' antique shop, but soon discover it comes with a devils curse.    Introduces not only Uncle Lewis, but also Lloyd, Micki’s fiancé. Sarah Polley stars as the stepdaughter who uses the doll to kill her stepmother. One of the very few episodes in which the owner doesn't become victim of the relic (the owner is a child).
The Poison Pen    A quill pen that causes people to die when the user writes about it. The person's real name must be written in order to kill them. If the intended victim uses another person name, then the other person will die. Also, if the owner has their name written on the paper then he/she will die.    Micki, Ryan, and Jack must go under cover as monks to retrieve a prophetic quill pen.
Cupid’s Quiver    A statue called The Cupid of Malek. Anyone struck by its arrows falls madly in love with its owner, but the owner must kill them.    A colledge student comes into possession of deadly cupid statue and uses it on a fellow student with whom he is obsessed.    Episode directed by Atom Egoyan. First of four unrelated villainous roles featuring Denis Forest.
A Cup of Time    A teacup decorated with “Swapper’s Ivy”. The ivy comes to life and strangles the drinker to death, thereby restoring the owner’s youth.    The group investigates a series of stranglings that are connected to a hit songstress.
Hellowe’en    The Amulet of Zohar, that can transfer a spirit of the dead into a dead body as long as the body died of natural causes.    The spirit of Uncle Lewis crashes a Halloween party being hosted at the shop.    Uncle Lewis makes an unwelcome return visit. May be one of the few episodes to mention Friday The 13th
The Great Montarro    A pair of Houdin escape cabinets. The damage which would be inflicted on someone performing a lethal magical stunt (in one cabinet) is transferred to a victim inside the other cabinet, but if there's nobody inside the second cabinet, then the person inside the first cabinet dies.    Jack enters a magician competition to find out who is using a lethal magicians box.    One of the few times the owner didn't know of the curse. One of the largest antiques recovered.
Doctor Jack    A steel scalpel that once belonged to Jack the Ripper that can cure any disease, but only after it has been used to kill. Also, it can cut through metal with ease.    A series of slashings leads the group to a fame hungry surgeon who possesses a cursed scalpal.    
Shadow Boxer    A pair of red boxing gloves with "Killer" written on the wrist. They summon a "shadow boxer" to kill a victim of their wearer’s choice, thereby making the wearer unbeatable in the ring.    A down on his luck boxer comes into possession of a pair of boxing gloves that pack a lethal punch.    Events in this episode cause the trio to establish a rule that they are not allowed to use the cursed objects.
Root of All Evil    A portable garden mulcher that shoots out money when used to grind up a person. The richer the victim, the more money the machine will produce.    Micki must choose to stay and help Ryan and Jack look for a cursed mulcher, or go and marry Lloyd.    Lloyd makes his second and last appearance. The doll from "The Inheritance" makes an appearance, being held by Lloyd. Enrico Colantoni stars as this episode's villain. Two other relics are mentioned: a statue that caused blindness and a lamp that causes fires.
Tales of the Undead    A comic book that transforms its owner into a super-powered robot killer from the pages called Ferrus the Invincible.    Ryan witnesses an attack by a character from his favorite comic book.    Ray Walston guest stars as the comic book character's embittered creator, a composite of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The legal issues concerning the loss of the character he created echo those involving Superman. David Hewlett stars as "Cal," a comic book fan who initially steals the cursed comic book.
Scarecrow    An animated scarecrow that guarantees good crops after it kills three sacrificial victims. An image of the intended victim must be pinned to the scarecrow in order to seek them out.    In response to a mailer, Micki and Ryan head to a small farming town where three people go missing each harvest.    First mention of Ryan's younger brother, Jimmy, deceased some years ago.
Faith Healer    The Sforza Glove (ca. 1510) that takes any injury or disease from a person and passes the magnified affliction on to another person. The glove cannot be removed while it still holds an affliction. Also, if the affliction is not transferred in time it will kill the wearer.    Jack calls in an old friend to help debunk a faith healer whose miracles come a hefty price, but his friend has other plans.    Episode directed by David Cronenberg.
The Baron’s Bride    A black vampiric cape that makes the wearer irresistible to women by transforming him into a vampire. The cape is closed by a diamond clasp that allows the wearer to travel through time once it is smeared with blood.    Micki and Ryan are thrown back in time with a murderous vampire who has his eyes on Micki.    First of four time travel episodes. Sequences back in time are shown in black and white. Bram Stoker is a character in the episode.
Bedazzled    A lantern that reveals sunken treasure at the cost of the life of the diver who brings up the treasure. The light from the lantern burns the diver to death.    Babysitter Micki and her charge are terrorized by a man who wants a cursed lantern back.    The majority of the action takes place at Curious Goods when the owner attempts to steal it back.
Tattoo    A case of antique Chinese tattoo needles that bring luck to their owner once the tattoo comes alive and kills its wearer.    A compulsive gambler gets his hands on tattoo needles that bring luck to their owner at the cost of someones life.
Vanity’s Mirror    A gold compact with a broken mirror and a snake on the front. When used to reflect light into another person’s face, it makes them fall madly in love with its owner, but the owner must kill them.    An unattractive girl gets her hands on a magic compact that makes others fall in love with her and uses it on those that pick on her.    The compact, lost in this episode, returns in "Face of Evil" (season 2) with an entirely different curse effect. This episode may have aired out of order, as the dance the high schoolers attend as part of the storyline is advertised as being "Prom '87" despite the fact that the episode did not air until 1988.

Season 2
Title    Cursed antique    Details    Notes
Doorway to Hell    A mirror that belonged to Louis XIV. It acts as a portal between Earth and the Realms of Darkness. Though magical, it is not technically one of the cursed antiques.    Micki and Ryan receive news that they have just inherited their uncle's house and go to investigate only to find themselves in another of Lewis' traps.    The only cursed relic which doesn't require a death to work. Uncle Lewis makes another appearance, this time trying to escape the Realms of Darkness. A continuation of "Bottle of Dreams".
The Voodoo Mambo    A voodoo mask that has a snake-shaped "tongue" which drains life force by biting the victim’s throat. It holds the spirit of an evil voodoo priestess that tricks the owner into absorbing life in order to bring herself back to life.    A disinherited man finds a voodoo mask among his late father's possessions and uses it to gain power by taking the lives of voodoo priests, but a force in the mask has its own agenda.    
And Now the News    An old cathedral-style radio that foretells the death of the listener in a "news flash", then enacts it. It then gives its owner information.    Just as a fame hungry psychiatrists psychotic patients are remarkably cured, another doctors' are being scared to death.    The radio offers Micki and Ryan a way to recover cursed objects if certain conditions are met, which they refuse.
Tails I Live, Heads You Die    The Coin of Ziocles that kills one person to bring another back to life. The victim is branded with a ram's head on their forehead.    A satanic cult is using a cursed coin to bring back deceased members in order to summon the Devil himself.    Micki is actually killed by the coin, but Ryan and Jack manage to resurrect her by using the coin again. The coin, lost in this episode, returns in "Bad Penny" (season 3).
Symphony in B#    A violin that allows its crippled owner to perform if he kills a victim with a blade hidden in the bow. Its music can also be used to hypnotize its victims.    Ryan falls for a talented young violinist who is being haunted by her supposedly dead mentor.    The first name Micki reads off to Jack is Jon Andersen, most likely a reference to the show's Supervising Producer of the same name.
Master of Disguise    A makeup case belonging to John Wilkes Booth. When the case is drizzled with the blood of a victim, it grants its deformed owner temporary good looks.    Micki falls for an up and coming actor whose good looks mask a monstrous agenda.    The actor who uses the makeup case uses the stage name William Pratt (the birth name of actor Boris Karloff).

Wax Magic    A handkerchief that belonged to Louis XVI. It can animate wax statues or transfer life into corpses that have been dipped in wax, but the reanimated corpses must kill to stay alive.    Ryan meets the wife of a carnival wax museum owner whose mysterious headaches disappear after someone is decapitated.    One of the few episodes in which the cursed object’s owner is not killed by it. Micki is not in this episode.
Read My Lips    Adolf Hitler’s pink silk boutonnière that animates a ventriloquist’s dummy, giving its owner fame at the cost of a life, and soon brings the dummy to a murderous life.    An old friend of Micki is getting married to a ventriloquist whose dummy seems to have a mind of its own.    Jack is not in this episode.
13 O’Clock    A pocket watch that stops time for an hour at 1 a.m. (the 13th hour) after someone is killed. The owner must be in the Castle Hill Train Station for time to stop or else be frozen in time themselves forever.    Two homeless kids are the only witnesses to mysterious murders that are connected to a pocket watch that strikes 13 O'Clock.    In the scenes in which character Reatha Wilkerson experiences stoppage of time she steals a wrist watch from Wertheimer's Jewellery (a possible play on series Executive in Charge of Production, Robert Wertheimer) and a hypodermic needle, syringe and drug from Haws Drugs (a possible play on series cameraman, Travor Haws).
Night Hunger    A silver chain with a blank car key that grants its owner incredible driving skills once the key is dipped in the blood of a freshly run over victim. It can also merge with its owner, allowing them to telepathically control the car until next death.    Curious Goods neighbor Dominic Fiorno asks the group to help his son who has been suddenly winning at street races.    The chain is not listed in the Manifest because it was given as a gift by Lewis Vendredi himself. Also, only appearance and death of both Dominic Fiorno (owner of Fiorno's Hardware, Curious Goods' "neighbor") and his son Michael, who owns the cursed car key.
The Sweetest Sting    A transport bee hive which causes the bees to become 'vampires'. After draining a victim, the next person they sting (usually someone old or terminally ill) will take on the appearance of the first (healthy) victim. Thereafter, they need special honey to maintain their youth, for which the hive owner blackmails them into murder.    The group uncovers a conspiracy involving a beekeeper's vampiric swarm and sickly people who supposedly committed suicide.    This was the first of three episodes directed by sci-fi veteran David Winning and nominated for a Gemini Award.

The Mephisto Ring    A 1919 World Series ring that predicts the outcomes of sporting events after killing someone who wears it.    An indebted gambler may have struck it rich with a ring that provides betting tips at the cost of someones life.    Ryan states that the ring was listed in the Manifest as the first object Lewis sold.

A Friend to the End    A black stone fragment called the Shard of Medusa (which transforms its victims into realistic stone statues revitalizes a failing artist's career) and a child’s coffin that resurrects a dead child, but the kid must then kill to remain alive.    While Micki and Ryan track down a sculptor who turns her subjects to stone, Micki's nephew meets a boy who has been dead for years.    Two separate stories in one episode. The only episode the heroes officially fail to get back a cursed object (Shard of Medusa). The name Wertheimer is used again, this time as a drug store.
The Butcher    The silver Thule Amulet (resembling a swastika) in two parts, allows a Nazi criminal to become immortal if he can exact his revenge on his killers. Technically it isn't one of the cursed antiques, as it was used by Nazi paranormal experiments during World War II.    Jack's past comes back to haunt him in the form of a Nazi criminal who he killed.    Jack is the only hero of the episode.
Mesmer’s Bauble    A hypnotist’s bauble that bestows wishes to its owner after it is used to hypnotize and kill a victim.    A lonely man who is obsessed with a popular female singer uses a cursed bauble to hypnotize and kill his victims so that he can use the bauble's wishes to get close to the singer.    Originally airing as "The Secret Agenda of Mesmer’s Bauble", the title was shortened for syndication. Guest stars Vanity.

Season 3
Title    Cursed antique    Details    Notes
The Prophecies (2 parts)    One of three Books of Lucifer that can make the evil prophecies written in it real. Though magical, it is not technically one of the cursed antiques and is ultimately destroyed.    Jack heads to France to investigate strange events that are connected to a prophecy that will bring about the anti-christ and when Ryan and Micki follow, a minion of satan, Asteroth, puts a curse on Ryan.    Ryan Dallion’s last episode. Johnny Ventura returns and remains for the rest of the series.
Demonhunter    A golden ritual dagger that allows one to summon a demon (who can only be destroyed by killing his summoner with the same golden dagger).    A family of ex-cultists are being hunted by a powerful demon and while running they find themselves in a secret room under the Vault.    A chamber below the Vault is discovered, thereby providing more storage space. Jack becomes a partner in the store.
Crippled Inside    A wheelchair that gradually restores mobility to a quadriplegic girl when she kills those who caused her condition. The owner is able to project a ghostly double of themselves to the location of their victims.    After nearly being raped and then being hit by a car a young quadrilegic girl buys a wheelchair that gradually restores her mobility.    Stephanie Morganstern was the voice of Minako Aino in the English language dub of Sailor Moon. Johnny also mentions a cursed umbrella, which Micki apparently retrieves without incident. Jack, though elsewhere for the episode, locates the shard of Medusa from season two's A Friend To The End.
Stick It In Your Ear    A hearing aid that lets the wearer hear the thoughts of people around him. The more it is used, the more it burrows into the user’s brain making it impossible to remove without killing themselves. The thoughts must be transferred to somebody else, thereby killing that person.    A supposed mind reader finds a hearing aid that makes his fake gift real as long as he kills for it.    The heroes recover five other cursed objects at an estate auction, though it is never mentioned what they are.

Bad Penny    The Coin of Ziocles that killed Micki in "Tails I Live, Heads You Die" (season 2) is unearthed.    A crooked cop finds the hexed coin and uses it for his own ends until Johnny steals it and uses it to see his dad again.    Johnny uses the coin to temporarily resurrect his father's corpse.
Hate On Your Dial    A 1954 Chevy car radio which causes the car it is installed into to travel back to the year of its creation when it is smeared with fresh blood.    Johnny unknowingly sells a cursed car radio to a racist who uses it to go back in time to save his clansman father from the law.    Sequences back in time are once again shown in black-and-white. Johnny actually obtains the object, but sells it without checking the Manifest.
Night Prey    The Cross of Fire from the Crusades that gains the power to incinerate a vampire after its hidden blade is used to kill someone (human).    A vampire hunter steals a golden cross that kills vampires in order to get revenge on the vampire that turned his wife.    One of the more controversial episodes for its graphic violence and mature sexual themes, including prostitution and a lesbian kiss. This episode was largely criticized by the Catholic Church in Europe.[citation needed]
Femme Fatale    A 16mm movie print that releases a character for the duration of the film when it absorbs someone else to take her place in the action.    An old director uses a film strip to relive the good old days by switching a woman with the star character that was played by his actress wife.    Gordon Pinsent guest stars as the antagonistic owner of the cursed relic. The cursed movie print "A Scandalous Woman" co-stars "Ronald Redwood", a possible reference to Californian actor/past-president Ronald Reagan.[original research?]
Mightier Than the Sword    A fountain pen which injects evil inside one person's body, forcing them to do anything written by the pen, in the owner's blood, until the evil is removed from the person.    An author uses a fountain pen to create murderers for his books by turning innocent people into homicidal maniacs.    The store’s bathroom is seen in this episode only. Micki also smokes cigarettes in this episode and commits a murder, but only while under the influence of the pen. We see Jack get killed by Micki, although it was just a dream sequence.

Adaptations

There is a popular rumor that the last episode was to unite the movie and television franchises by having the final item recovered (see “Premise” above) be the hockey mask belonging to Jason Voorhees. This remains unfounded and while there was talk about having a hockey mask on one of the sets as an in-joke[6], there was never any serious intention to mix the film series into the television series [7].

However, Eric Morse wrote the webnovel The Mask of Jason Voorhees, the fifth and last book in his “Camp Crystal Lake” series of novels which united the novels, the first nine movies, and the television series into one continuity. The concepts in the book were created by Eric Morse and are not the original intent of the show’s creators and thus, should not be treated as official canon.

The 2009 SyFy original series Warehouse 13 has also been accused of "borrowing" much from the 1980s television series Friday the 13th: The Series.[8][9][10] The show stars two agents, Myka Bering (Joanne Kelly) and Peter Lattimer (Eddie McClintock), lead by a older, wise man Arthur "Artie" Nielsen (Saul Rubinek) as they collect cursed items known as artifacts to store them in a warehouse.
