Two Friday the 13ths in a row this year, and another one coming later this year. It's the year of Jason...and yet somehow New Line couldn't get their shit together to release this perpetually in limbo remake/sequel/found footage/80s mess on one of 2015's three Friday the 13ths. Oh well, let's have our own little Jason party and recount what our favorite kill was throughout the series. I've picked 20 here, but feel free to pick your own and write about it in the thread. Happy Friday the 13th!
Mark gets machete to face before rolling down stairs Too often in films or novels, a wheelchair/disability = "safe." Not here!
I wanted to say the nitrogen face-smash, but I gave it to the corkscrew kill as my wife and I often quote that scene when asking each other where ANYthing is.
This is a great one, but I always thought it was weird that in this kill and the upside down throat slit the wrong side of the machete is being used.
Many great ones. Hard to choose. Not my favorite, but I have always loved everything about Annie, her lead up, chase and suspenseful demise:
KO punch decapitation from part 8 without a doubt. It's been my favorite death scene in any horror film ever. It's just that funny.
So difficult to go with a single kill from this series, but I had to go with Jason Unmasking/Knife Slide from THE FINAL CHAPTER. It was such a terrific effect and a huge deal at the time.
Totally agree with Paff. I will never forget my first time seeing Marcy's trip to the bathroom. Starts off creepy as hell and ends up absolutely shocking. I remember thinking the shot of the rising axe would be it, but to see it embedded in her face nearly cost me my sanity.
The obvious one is the sleeping bag kill, it's so iconic they made a choice to repeat it and then some in Jason X. But for me it's lost some of its allure these days. Don't get me wrong it's still super fun but its kind of overrated really. I'd probably put a fair few others above it aswell (Wheelchair kill in Part 2, Andy in Part 3 and of course Jason's own superb demise in the Final Chapter spring to mind). I voted for Trey in Freddy vs Jason, the multiple machete stabs and then folding the bed in half was and still is cool as He'l. Plus it's gloriously gorey. Voted for that one.
Going to make nice with the girlfriend he insulted and getting spear gunned through the crotch for it.... Speargun in the crotch in part four. Maybe not the most gory, or well crafted in the series but my ouch pick.
There are too many good ones for me to pick the best. And I like scenes as a whole too. The Part 2 wheelchair kill into the sex scene climax. The Part 7 blonde girl death and throw over the TV. Jason X backbreaking scene and flip followed by the guy's face smashed twice into the wall. Stuff like that.
