History Franchise / FridayThe13th

* '''''Film/FreddyVsJason'' (2003)''' -- Jason teams up with, then turns on, Freddy Krueger; this leads them to stalk and kill a bunch of teenagers before they fight each other, but in the end, [[EvasiveFightThreadEpisode they settle nothing]]. [[spoiler:If you consider the statistics, Jason technically won with over twenty kills to Freddy's one.

* CommonKnowledge: Jason never used a {{chainsaw|Good}}, despite the fact that he is often depicted in parody work doing so. This is a case of DidNotDoTheResearch, mixing him up with [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface]]. His canonical weapon of choice is his machete.

Though clearly inspired by the ''Film/{{Halloween}}'' series of movies, ''Friday the 13th'' became the TropeCodifier for the slasher genre. The films typically start with a DevelopingDoomedCharacters sequence: a group of teenagers -- typically counselors or vacationers -- have come to Crystal Lake for various reasons, some of which involve sex and drugs. This group, as well as other minor characters, end up hunted down and killed in a variety of ways -- and none of the living members of the group grow wise to this until the FinalGirl (and occasionally a TagalongKid) discovers the bodies and forces a confrontation with the killer.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Jason is undeniably New Line Cinema's (and formerly Paramount's) version of [[Film/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]]. Both are enormous men wearing white masks and blue or grey work clothes, both kill with either their hands or whatever harmful objects they find, both are virtually immortal and have superhuman strength, both of them primarily target teenagers, both of them move extremely slowly when being observed but [[OffscreenTeleportation astoundingly fast when off-camera]], and both of them kill on a certain day because of something that happened during their childhoods on that day.

*** That was a necessity. He won't kill them out of general sadism like [[Film/{{Halloween}} Michael Meyers]].

* FollowTheLeader: Original is one of the first slasher films that came in the wake of ''Film/{{Halloween}}''. It also inspired lots of SlasherMovies set in summer camps and backwoods.

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: On so many levels.

* '''''Film/FridayThe13thPartVANewBeginning'' (1985)''' -- A mystery killer targets teenagers and adults alike at a halfway house for troubled teens located near Crystal Lake -- including a teenaged Tommy Jarvis, who has arrived there to recover from his encounter with Jason four years prior. Do you see what they did there? This film features a twist where [[spoiler:a man who wanted to avenge the death of his son, which occurred at the halfway house earlier in the film, dons the Jason Voorhees identity (including the hockey mask) to cover his tracks while he kills]]. The film catches a lot of crap for its lame plot, but it ''does'' feature some of the best death performances out of the whole franchise. These kids ''know'' how to die!
* '''''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIJasonLives'' (1986)''' -- Tommy Jarvis sets out to kill Jason for good, but accidentally resurrects Jason, who goes on to stalk and kill teenagers in the town of Crystal Lake while Tommy tries to stop the supernatural slasher once and for all. This film features far less gore than previous installments (and no nudity whatsoever) thanks to an upswing of MoralGuardians at the MPAA. Even with those drawbacks, fans still regard ''Jason Lives'' as one of the finest films in the series in terms of plot. This entry marked the turning point where the series seemed to recognize its goofiness and started to include LampshadeHanging and self-deprecatory humor (until the remake tried to make things scary again, at least). As an aside: out of every film in the franchise, only ''Jason Lives'' shows kids who have arrived at a newly-reopened Camp Crystal Lake.

* '''''Film/JasonGoesToHellTheFinalFriday'' (1993)''' -- The government ''finally'' kills Jason, but his evil heart helps to partially resurrect him. Jason, now an evil spirit, jumps from body to body as he seeks out his last living relatives so that he can kill them before they can kill him. Along the way, he kills a bunch of people. This film became ''another'' SeriesFauxnale, but it went completely off the rails thanks to the "body jumping hellspirit" gimmick. In the final scene of the film, the bladed glove of [[Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]] drags Jason's hockey mask down to Hell, which set up the crossover film that would come ten years later. Jason only shows up twice during the film ([[BookEnds at the very beginning and at the very end]]).

** In ''Part VIII'', there are even two characters with the same first name.

* CoolMask: Jason all the way. [[spoiler: Roy Burns on the other hand....]]

* BackfromtheDead: Jason, as of Part VI and all subsequent movies.

* CameoProp: Necronomicon from ''EvilDead'' and The Crate from ''{{Creepshow}}'' make an appearance in ''Jason Goes To Hell''.
** Jason's heart from the same movie were later used in ''FromDuskTillDawn''.
** The set for ''Part III'' were later reused for ''In the Light of the Moon'', a movie about Ed Gein.

* BigBad: Jason Vorhees in most of the movies, exception being [[spoiler: Pamela Voorhees in the first movie and Roy Burns in ''Part V'']].

* EvenEvilHasStandards: WordOfGod states that Jason must never kill children or animals.

* '''''Film/FridayThe13th1980'' (1980)''' -- [[/index]] A mystery killer stalks and murders counselors at Camp Crystal Lake as they attempt to prepare the camp to be reopened. [[ItWasHisSled As famously pointed]] out in the opening of ''Film/{{Scream}}'', [[spoiler:Pamela Voorhees killed everyone. Jason's mother blamed the counselors at the camp's previous incarnation for letting her son drown (since they were too busy having sex to watch him), and she didn't want to let the camp re-open]]. Despite the quality of its sequels, numerous critics and fans think of ''Friday the 13th'' as an effective horror film. [[index]]
* '''''Film/FridayThe13thPart2'' (1981)''' -- [[/index]] Counselors who want to re-open Camp Crystal Lake end up murdered. Do you sense a pattern here? Even though this film pretty much works the same as the first film, it features the first occurrence of Jason as the killer; he uses a pillow case to cover his head in this film. He wouldn't put on the hockey mask until... [[/index]]
* '''''Film/FridayThe13thPartIII'' (1982)''' -- [[/index]] Jason stalks and kills teenagers at a camp near Crystal Lake. You'd think people would know better by now. Originally shot in [[ThreeDMovie 3-D]], the film randomly features shots of various things flying towards the camera -- along with a couple of (very cool) three-dimensional kills. Jason puts on the hockey mask in this film -- and this film also marks the point where [[VillainProtagonist your sympathies might start going towards the killer]]. [[index]]
* '''''Film/FridayThe13thTheFinalChapter'' (1984)''' -- [[/index]] Jason stalks and kills teenagers at a lake house near Crystal Lake. The police really should look into this. This film became a SeriesFauxnale when it performed so well at the box office that the series continued despite the intent of the producers to end the franchise. ''Final Chapter'' features Corey Feldman as a young Tommy Jarvis, Crispin Glover as one of the ill-fated teenagers, a lot of gratuitous nudity, arguably the best gore in the series (courtesy of special effects genius Tom Savini), and a ton of NarmCharm. If you want to watch a SoBadItsGood teen comedy that morphs into a SugarWiki/SoCoolItsAwesome horror flick, you want this movie. [[index]]

* '''''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIITheNewBlood'' (1988)''' -- [[/index]] Jason stalks and kills teenagers at houses built near Crystal Lake. That makes for a shocking change of pace, right? Instead of Tommy Jarvis, a young woman named Tina awakens -- and confronts -- Jason over the course of the film. New Line and Paramount wanted to make what would become ''Freddy vs. Jason'' with this installment, but after negotiations between the studios broke down, a girl with PsychicPowers (Tina) became the lead protagonist (fans gave the film an appropriate FanNickname: ''Jason vs. {{Carrie}}''). Kane Hodder debuted as Jason in this film and played the role up until ''Freddy vs. Jason''; franchise fans consider Hodder the best actor to don the mask. [[index]]
* '''''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIIIJasonTakesManhattan'' (1989)''' -- [[/index]] Jason kills teenagers on a boat that leaves from Crystal Lake and ends up at New York, where Jason stalks the survivors through [[BigApplesauce Manhattan]] for the last twenty minutes. At least the studio tried something different, right? The filmmakers shot this film in [[StargateCity Vancouver]], and it shows. Jason gets one of his most memorable kills in this film when he [[MortalKombat punches the head off of one of his victims]]. ''Jason Takes Manhattan'' had the worst box office performance out of the entire series, and while fans generally think of this as the series' worst entry, they have pointed out a few charms.

[[quoteright:259:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Jasonf.jpg]]

The franchise slapped its name onto a horror anthology series -- ''FridayThe13thTheSeries'' -- which had very little to do with the films. A NintendoHard video game [[VideoGame/FridayThe13th adaptation]] of the franchise also exists.

'''''Film/FridayThe13th1980'' (1980)'''

->''On Friday the 13th, they began to die horribly, one...by one.''

A mystery killer stalks and murders counselors at Camp Crystal Lake as they attempt to prepare the camp to be reopened.

[[ItWasHisSled As famously pointed]] out in the opening of ''Film/{{Scream}}'', [[spoiler:Pamela Voorhees killed everyone. Jason's mother blamed the counselors at the camp's previous incarnation for letting her son drown (since they were too busy having sex to watch him), and she didn't want to let the camp re-open]]. Despite the quality of its sequels, numerous critics and fans think of ''Friday the 13th'' as an effective horror film.

'''''Film/FridayThe13thPart2'' (1981)'''

->''The body count continues...''

Counselors who want to re-open Camp Crystal Lake end up murdered. Do you sense a pattern here?

Even though this film pretty much works the same as the first film, it features the first occurrence of Jason as the killer; he uses a pillow case to cover his head in this film. He wouldn't put on the hockey mask until...

'''''Film/FridayThe13thPartIII'' (1982)'''

->''A new dimension in terror...''

Jason stalks and kills teenagers at a camp near Crystal Lake. You'd think people would know better by now.

Originally shot in [[ThreeDMovie 3-D]], the film randomly features shots of various things flying towards the camera -- along with a couple of (very cool) three-dimensional kills. Jason puts on the hockey mask in this film -- and this film also marks the point where [[VillainProtagonist your sympathies might start going towards the killer]].

'''''Film/FridayThe13thTheFinalChapter'' (1984)'''

->''Jason's Back, and this is the one you've been screaming for.''

Jason stalks and kills teenagers at a lake house near Crystal Lake. The police really should look into this.

This film became a SeriesFauxnale when it performed so well at the box office that the series continued despite the intent of the producers to end the franchise. ''Final Chapter'' features Corey Feldman as a young Tommy Jarvis, Crispin Glover as one of the ill-fated teenagers, a lot of gratuitous nudity, arguably the best gore in the series (courtesy of special effects genius Tom Savini), and a ton of NarmCharm. If you want to watch a SoBadItsGood teen comedy that morphs into a SugarWiki/SoCoolItsAwesome horror flick, you want this movie.

'''''Film/FridayThe13thPartVANewBeginning'' (1985)'''

->''If Jason still haunts you, you're not alone!''

A mystery killer targets teenagers and adults alike at a halfway house for troubled teens located near Crystal Lake -- including a teenaged Tommy Jarvis, who has arrived there to recover from his encounter with Jason four years prior. Do you see what they did there?

This film features a twist where [[spoiler:a man who wanted to avenge the death of his son, which occurred at the halfway house earlier in the film, dons the Jason Voorhees identity (including the hockey mask) to cover his tracks while he kills]]. The film catches a lot of crap for its lame plot, but it ''does'' feature some of the best death performances out of the whole franchise. These kids ''know'' how to die!

'''''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIJasonLives'' (1986)'''

->''Evil always rises again.''

Tommy Jarvis sets out to kill Jason for good, but accidentally resurrects Jason, who goes on to stalk and kill teenagers in the town of Crystal Lake while Tommy tries to stop the supernatural slasher once and for all.

This film features far less gore than previous installments (and no nudity whatsoever) thanks to an upswing of MoralGuardians at the MPAA. Even with those drawbacks, fans still regard ''Jason Lives'' as one of the finest films in the series in terms of plot. This entry marked the turning point where the series seemed to recognize its goofiness and started to include LampshadeHanging and self-deprecatory humor (until the remake tried to make things scary again, at least).

As an aside: out of every film in the franchise, only ''Jason Lives'' shows kids who have arrived at a newly-reopened Camp Crystal Lake.

'''''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIITheNewBlood'' (1988)'''

->''On Friday the 13th, Jason is back. But this time, someone's waiting.''

Jason stalks and kills teenagers at houses built near Crystal Lake. That makes for a shocking change of pace, right? Instead of Tommy Jarvis, a young woman named Tina awakens -- and confronts -- Jason over the course of the film.

New Line and Paramount wanted to make what would become ''Freddy vs. Jason'' with this installment, but after negotiations between the studios broke down, a girl with PsychicPowers (Tina) became the lead protagonist (fans gave the film an appropriate FanNickname: ''Jason vs. {{Carrie}}''). Kane Hodder debuted as Jason in this film and played the role up until ''Freddy vs. Jason''; franchise fans consider Hodder the best actor to don the mask.

'''''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIIIJasonTakesManhattan'' (1989)'''

->''New York has a new problem.''

Jason kills teenagers on a boat that leaves from Crystal Lake and ends up at New York, where Jason stalks the survivors through [[BigApplesauce Manhattan]] for the last twenty minutes. At least the studio tried something different, right?

The filmmakers shot this film in [[StargateCity Vancouver]], and it shows. Jason gets one of his most memorable kills in this film when he [[MortalKombat punches the head off of one of his victims]]. ''Jason Takes Manhattan'' had the worst box office performance out of the entire series, and while fans generally think of this as the series' worst entry, they have pointed out a few charms.

'''''Film/JasonGoesToHellTheFinalFriday'' (1993)'''

->''Horror, has many faces... death, wears many different masks... but pure evil, wears only one... [[BlatantLies and this is your final chance, to see it]].''

The government ''finally'' kills Jason, but his evil heart helps to partially resurrect him. Jason, now an evil spirit, jumps from body to body as he seeks out his last living relatives so that he can kill them before they can kill him. Along the way, he kills a bunch of people.

This film became ''another'' SeriesFauxnale, but it went completely off the rails thanks to the "body jumping hellspirit" gimmick. In the final scene of the film, the bladed glove of [[Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]] drags Jason's hockey mask down to Hell, which set up the crossover film that would come ten years later. Jason only shows up twice during the film ([[BookEnds at the very beginning and at the very end]]).

'''''Film/JasonX'' (2002)'''

->''Evil gets an upgrade.''

Teenagers (and {{Space Marine}}s) end up stalked and killed on a spaceship after they pick up Jason's [[HumanPopsicle cryogenically frozen body]] at an abandoned Crystal Lake in the far future. After Jason fights a robot, he ''becomes'' a robot and kills more people.

(Despite its name, ''Jason X'' has nothing to do with the MemeticMutation of [[HeavyRain pressing X to Jason]].)

Fans remember this film for its excessive NarmCharm (some fans call it the most humorous entry of the series) and one of the best death sequences in the franchise (a woman has her face frozen in liquid nitrogen before Jason smashes it to pieces). The VR scene that shows the Camp Crystal Lake of the past pretty much defined the point of the entire series in one scene. DavidCronenberg makes a brief appearance, too.

'''''Film/FreddyVsJason'' (2003)'''

->''Winner Kills All.''

Jason teams up with, then turns on, Freddy Krueger; this leads them to stalk and kill a bunch of teenagers before they fight each other, but in the end, [[EvasiveFightThreadEpisode they settle nothing]]. [[spoiler:If you consider the statistics, Jason technically won with over twenty kills to Freddy's one. WordOfGod also differs on who ultimately won and what the ending of the film means, depending on which "God" you talk to.]]

The film takes place after both ''Jason Goes To Hell'' and ''Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare''; ''Jason X'' and ''Wes Craven's New Nightmare'' have no bearing on the film's story, though some fans consider it a prequel of sorts to ''Jason X''.

'''''Film/FridayThe13th2009'' (2009)'''

->''Welcome to Crystal Lake.''

This film marks the starting point for the ContinuityReboot of the series; if you've read this far, you already know the plot. (Does his kill count gets a reboot, too?) The filmmakers intended to give Jason more personality and emphasize a "menacing survivalist" nature, as Jason had numerous traps and secret passages set up around Crystal Lake.

While New Line Cinema has plans for a sequel to this film -- which would become the thirteenth film in the franchise, if you count ''Freddy vs. Jason'' as part of the franchise -- said sequel currently sits in DevelopmentHell.

* ThreeDMovie: ''Part III'', [[ThirdIs3D naturally]].
* AbortedArc: ''Part V'''s SequelHook.
** In the first movie it seemed to imply that there was a relationship of some sort between Alice and Steve (the guy opening the camp), but none of this is explained further.
* AbsoluteCleavage: Janessa in ''Jason X''.

* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Apparently in ''Part VIII'', [[BigApplesauce New York]] has a big one.
* AgonyOfTheFeet: Jason stabs Whitney's boyfriend's foot through the floor when they're checking his cabin in the remake.
* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: The three bikers in ''Part III''.
* TheAllegedCar: Ginny's car in ''Part 2'', which works as a justification for the MyCarHatesMe moment later on.
* AlliterativeName: Every 80's glam rock cliche combining J.J. Jarrett in ''Part VIII''.
* AlphaBitch: The RichBitch Melissa in ''Part VII''.

* AndShowItToYou: Hawes dies in ''Part VI'' when Jason punches through him, grabbing his heart in the process.
* AnArmAndALeg: Jason cuts Ali's hand off in ''Part III'' before killing him.
** Jason rips off Burt's arm when he takes his machete ''Part VI''. He also hacked Roy to pieces offscreen.
** Thanks to Azrael's bumbling, frozen Jason falls and cuts his arm in ''Jason X''. Later Jason literally loses an arm and a leg during his fight against Kay-Em.

* AssholeVictim: It's a slasher film, so it's to be expected. Charles from ''Jason Takes Manhattan'' is probably the strongest example since his every second on screen seems to be devoted to making you cheer when Jason finally drowns his ass in a barrel of sewage.
** Melissa in ''Part VII''.
** Trent in the remake.
* AttemptedRape: After arriving in New York in ''Part VIII'', two muggers attempt to rape Rennie. She is saved by Jason in a BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork moment.
* AutoErotica: Ben and Kate in the van in ''Part VII''.
* AutopsySnackTime: In ''Jason Goes To Hell'', the second coroner who walks in on a Voorhees-possessed medical examiner is carrying a pizza, and was presumably intending to eat it right there in the autopsy room.
* AxCrazy: Aside from the obvious, there's Victor in ''Part V'', who hacks up Joey in a fit of rage.
* AxeBeforeEntering: No door can hold Jason out. Happens literally in ''Part III'' and ''The Final Chapter''.
* AnAxeToGrind: Jason uses an axe in ''Part III'' and ''The Final Chapter''.
* BadassNormal: Brodski in ''Jason X''. Seriously, he's the only man who could really take Jason out. [[spoiler: Aside from KM-14, who's a robot.]]
* BarrierBustingBlow: Provided the page picture.
* BatterUp: Alice in the first film grabs a baseball bat briefly to defend herself.
* BattleAmongstTheFlames: Tommy grappling with Jason in the burning water in ''Part VI'''s climax.
** The climactic showdown of ''Freddy vs. Jason''.
* BearTrap: Richie in the remake gets caught on bear trap set by Jason. Later on Whitney uses a bear trap against Jason during the final confrontation.
* BeatStillMyHeart: Jason's heart in ''Jason Goes to Hell''.

** In Jason Goes to Hell, [[spoiler: many of his victims insulted him before being killed]]
* BigApplesauce: ''Part VIII'', obviously.

* BigDamnHeroes: Reggie saving Pam in ''Part V'' with an earthmover.
* BigNo: Chili screams out one in ''Part III'' when she finds the corpses of Andy and Debbie. Chris does it too when Jason just keeps coming after her.
* BigShutUp: Lowe to the panicking students when Jason is closing in on them in ''Jason X''.
* BillingDisplacement: Alice gets third billing for Part 2 when she has less than 10 minutes of screentime and even most of that is just a flashback to the first film.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: In the ending of [[spoiler: ''The Final Chapter'', after Tommy has killed Jason rather violently and hugs his sister with his eyes closed]], he opens them to show us that there is something ''not right'' about him anymore...
* BlackGuyDiesFirst: Averted in the remake. [[spoiler: About eight people die before he bites it.]]
** Also, if one counts it in the franchise, ''Freddy vs. Jason'' has the lone African American character [[spoiler: dying toward the end, long after nearly twenty people have bought it]].
* BladeOnAStick: Jason uses one to kill Tina's mom in ''Part VII''.
* BloodIsSquickerInWater: The bloody clothes in the bathtub in ''Part III''.
** Jason's face getting propelled underwater in ''Part VI''.
* BloodlessCarnage: In ''Jason X'', Jason crashes two future gamers in the middle of a VR gaming session, and [[MacheteMayhem does what he does best]], however, they don't seem to be fazed by the maniac slicing them to pieces, and despite being diced, they neither bleed nor die nor show any pain. Then they [[RageQuit end the simulation in frustration]], and [[AvertedTrope Jason quickly realizes and rectifies his mistake.]]

* BookEnds: ''A New Beginning'' opens and ends with Tommy going through a violent NightmareSequence, then waking up from it.
* BondGunBarrel: Parodied in ''Part VI''.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Martin chides the audience of ''Part VI'' for their BileFascination.
-->"Some folks have a strange idea of entertainment."''
* BreakTheCutie: An extreme version happens with Kinsa in ''Jason X'', perhaps the most realistic depiction of how someone would react when trapped in a confined space with a mass murderer. After the deaths of her boyfriend and many others, she goes completely nuts and locks herself in the ship's only shuttle. Then she launches the shuttle without undocking it, killing herself and screwing up their only means of escape.
* BroadStrokes: The reboot. The events of the original film apparently happened, but [[spoiler: Mrs. Voorhees']] killing spree happened shortly after her son's "death", rather than 20 years later.
* BuffySpeak: Azrael describing Jason's cryogenic chamber in ''Jason X''.
-->'''Lowe''': "Someone tell me what that is?"
-->'''Azrael''': "Like a.. big kinda...frozen storage thing?"
* BuxomIsBetter: In the 2009 reboot, Trent can't stop talking about how perfect Bree's breasts are during their sex scene.
-->'''Trent''': Your tits are stupendous.
-->'''Bree''': Wow, you really know how to make a girl feel special.
* CaliforniaDoubling: Most of the scenes in New York in ''Part VIII'' were actually shot in Vancouver, Canada.
** Crystal Lake is supposed to be in upstate New York. Which of course means that you shoot any scenes regarding Crystal Lake in places like California, Texas, Alabama, and Georgia. At least the first two movies shoot in New Jersey and Connecticut, respectively.
* TheCameo: ''Part VII'''s [[CreatorCameo Director]] John Carl Buechler appears in the film's end as the fireman who picks up the halves of Jason's burned mask.
** KaneHodder without the Jason regalia in ''Jason Goes to Hell'' as the morgue guard.
** Ken Kirzenger, the man who would play Jason in ''Freddy vs. Jason'', as a worker at a diner who gets thrown into a mirror by Jason in ''Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan''
* CameraFiend: Wayne in ''Part VIII''.
* CampingACrapper: Jason kills Harold when he comes from the toilet in ''Part III''.
** Happens to Demon in ''Part V''.
** Nikki in ''Part VI'', Jason grabs and kills her in the SUV bathroom.
* CarChase: Megan and Tommy are involved in a short one with sheriff's deputies in ''Part VI''.
* CarCushion: Jason pulls Tina through second-story a window and throws her into a car on the ground in ''The Final Chapter''.
* CarFu: Rennie attempts to kill Jason with a police car in ''Part VIII''.
** Used against possessed Robert in ''Jason Goes to Hell''.
* CassandraTruth: Tommy's past life in institutions is an obstruction to anyone to believe his claims of Jason's recent revival in ''Part VI''.
* CatScare: Random cat scares Alice in ''Part II'' before Jason "[[PowerfulPick picks]]" her.
** Diner's Cat scares Lana in ''Part V'' when she's about to go out with Billy.
** The random cat scaring Sandra in ''Part VII''.
* CaughtInASnare: In ''Part II'', one of the camp counselors is caught in a snare and killed by Jason while hanging upside down.
* TheCavalryArrivesLate: Happens in the first three and fifth movies.
* ChainsawGood: Ginny in ''Part 2'' brandishes a chainsaw briefly to defend herself. [[OnceIsNotEnough Then she runs away]].
** Used again for defense in ''Part V'', then the gasoline runs out...
** Averted by Jason himself - despite many MANY media references that combine the hockey mask with a chainsaw, [[CommonKnowledge he never used one as a weapon. Closest was a hedge trimmer.]]
* ChairmanOfTheBrawl: Ginny breaks a chair over Jason's head in ''Part 2''.

* ClosedCircle: The cruise ship in ''Part VIII''.
* CombatPragmatist: Jason's methods become much more creative than the ol' slash & stab in ''A New Beginning''. [[spoiler: Justified, as it isn't really Jason]].

* CompressedAdaptation: The reboot, which manages to mash the first four movies into one film. But seeing how [[ClicheStorm similar]] they are to each other, it's not really that amazing.
* ContrivedCoincidence: The events leading up to Jason's revival in ''Part VIII''. Jimmy and Suzie are on a boat in Crystal Lake. Jimmy lowers the anchor, which lands on an underwater powerline. Jason's body is just coincidentally right next to it and when the anchor starts rubbing the powerline, electrifying Jason's body and bringing him back alive. Jimmy also just happens to have a hockey mask in his boat for Jason to put on.

* CoversAlwaysLie: The poster and home video art of ''Part II'' show Jason's silhouette holding an ax. Jason doesn't use an ax in that movie.
** One version of the DVD cover for the first movie has a holographic image revealing Jason's mask. Not only is Jason not in the first movie, he doesn't even get the hockey mask for another two films.
* CranialProcessingUnit: Kay-Em 14 is used this way after Jason knocks her head off in ''Jason X''.
* CriticalExistenceFailure: When Jason swaps bodies in ''Jason Goes To Hell'', the former one rots away.

* DangerTakesABackseat: Happens to Pete in ''Part V''.
* DangerousWindows: Possessed Robert attacks Jess through a window in ''Jason Goes to Hell''.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Lawrence in the remake is about to have one when he is interrupted by Jenna and Clay.
* DeadPersonImpersonation: Ginny impersonates Jason's mother to distract him in ''Part 2''.
* DeathByIrony: "Darling, you'll be the death of me. But what a way to go!" says Martin to his empty bottle in ''Part VI''. Then he throws it away, Jason grabs it, breaks it and [[GrievousBottleyHarm stabs Martin with it]].

* DeathByPragmatism: Subverted in the remake.
* DeathBySex: The first film probably made it a staple for slasher flicks.
* DecoyProtagonist: [[spoiler: Fake FinalGirl Jenna in the remake.]]
** [[spoiler: Hell, try Decoy CAST! Everyone is killed 20 minutes into the movie, with the real story picking up 6 weeks later]].
** The first film follows Annie at the start. [[spoiler: She is then promptly killed off and Alice is the FinalGirl.]]
* DemonicPossession: Entirety of ''Jason Goes to Hell''.

** When Jason grabs Tommy in ''The Final Chapter'', Trish attacks him with a hammer.

* EatTheEvidence: When the protagonists of ''Part III'' spot two police cars (with blazing sirens and all) behind them, they promptly start eating their drug stash. After pulling over, the police just keep driving onward much to their dismay.
* ElectrifiedBathtub: Tina in ''Part VII'' uses her powers to force Jason into a puddle and then breaks one of the power cables to fry him.
* EnforcedMethodActing: The child in the first movie who played Jason was originally intended to only appear in a short flashback of him drowning. But the director decided to have him appear in the end as a surprise. He was instructed not to show anyone the mask he wore for the scene. The shock and fear on Alice's face is genuine.

* EveryCarIsAPinto: After Rennie crashes the police car in ''Part VIII'', it blows up.
* EverythingIsRacist: Used twice by Lawrence (The lone black person) in the 2009 remake. The first time was in order to get out of pumping gas, and the second time was for joking around (He talks about making a music label to Chelsea, who automatically think it'll be for rap. Lawrence takes offense to this and says “Oh, because I’m black, I can’t listen to Green Day?” Chelsea then apologizes and asks what kind of genre Lawrence is going to do, [[HypocriticalHumor to which he smiles and says that he actually is going to do rap.]])
* EvilDetectingDog: Gordon, the Jarvis family's dog, gets an awesome case of ''[[SuperWindowJump Get The Fuck Out]]'' when it senses Jason's presence in the house that Trish and Rob are investigating in ''The Final Chapter''.
** And in Part III there's an evil-detecting ''rabbit''.

** Heard when Jason's mask is pulled underground in ''Jason Goes to Hell''.

* ExactEavesdropping: In ''Part VII''.
* EyeScream: Hilarious version happens in ''Part VII''.
** And there's ''Part III'' with Rick getting his head crushed with enough force that his eye rockets out of his socket towards the screen (IN 3D!). ArtisticLicenseBiology? Probably. [[RuleOfCool But also pretty damn amusing.]]
** Jason has also gotten his share of the damage:
*** Machete across his face (and his right eye) in ''The Final Chapter''.
*** An ink pen (that was allegedly used by Creator/StephenKing) into the same eye in ''Part VIII''.
*** Freddy claws his way into them in ''Freddy VS Jason''.
*** When he is lying supposedly dead and being examined by Adrienne in ''Jason X'', she removes one of his eyes.
** In ''Part V'', Tina gets both eyes gouged out ''with gardening shears''.
*** Her boyfriend's eyes are crushed with a belt around a tree, as well.
**** And later in the same movie, Reggie's grandpa is found dead with his eyes gouged out.

* FacePalmOfDoom: How Doug is killed in ''The Final Chapter''.
* {{Fainting}}: Tina faints in ''Part VII'' when she sees the resurrected Jason.

* {{Filth}}: Ted finds ''very'' old-school skinflick in the house the protagonists are partying in ''The Final Chapter''. It's the nearest thing to him getting any action that night.

* FingerWag: Dr. Crews does this to Tina when he is convincing her that he cares about her well-being in ''Part VII''.
* {{Fingore}}: Happens to Jason during his confrontation with Freddy.
** Also happens in ''Jason Goes to Hell'' in a scene where Duke breaks two of Steven's fingers for no apparent reason.
** Wasn't that because Steven wanted information and Creighton said that he'd answer the questions 'for a price.' which in that case was working fingers?
* FlareGun: [=McCulloch=] in ''Part VIII'' grabs a flare gun when he goes looking for the deckhand.
* FlashbackEcho: When Tommy sees Jason's corpse in his open grave in ''Part VI'', he flashbacks to the events of ''The Final Chapter'', grabs a pole and starts impaling Jason in rage.

* ForDoomTheBellTolls: Used on the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uEeNb5dO5g&feature=related teaser trailer]] for ''Part VI''.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: ''Part V'''s hockey mask has blue markings on it instead of red ones, foreshadowing [[spoiler:that the real killer wasn't Jason at all]].
* FountainOfYouth: [[spoiler: Toxic waste in the [[BigApplesauce New York]] sewers does this to Jason...for some reason.]]
* FryingPanOfDoom: Alice defends herself with one in the first film.
* GainaxEnding: In ''Part VII'', [[spoiler: Tina manages to temporarily revive his father to drag Jason down to the lake]] and in ''Part VIII'', [[spoiler: Jason drowns in toxic waste and the water is lowered to reveal Jason as a child]]. All of the films tend to end on a bit of ambiguous insanity however.
* GenderBlenderName: Chris and Shelly in ''Part III''.
** Robin in ''Part V''.
* GenreSavvy: Lizabeth in ''Part VI'':
--> '''Lizabeth''': "I've seen enough horror movies to know any weirdo wearing a mask is never friendly!"
** Also Steven in ''Jason Goes to Hell''
--> '''Luke:''' We're going to Camp Crystal Lake.
--> '''Steven:''' Oh yeah? Planning on smoking a little dope, having a little premarital sex, and getting slaughtered?
** ''Jason X'' also {{Lampshade|Hanging}}s this, with the virtual reality simulation.
** Thoroughly averted by the parents of counselors in every movie, assuming they don't want their kids dead...
* GoneSwimmingClothesStolen: Scott does this to Terry in ''Part 2''.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: Julius tries to bring Jason down with his fists in ''Part VIII'', [[OffWithHisHead but it doesn't end well.]]

* GraveRobbing: Both ''Part V'' and ''Part VI'' openings has two guys disturbing Jason's grave.
* GrievousBottleyHarm: Jason kills the cemetery caretaker in ''Part VI'' with a broken bottle.
* GrievousHarmWithABody:
** Played for laughs in ''Jason X'' when Jason is lured into a holographic simulation designed to provoke him. By the time we cut back to Jason and a pair of (virtual) bubble-headed sexually promiscuous drug-and-alcohol-abusing female campers, Jason has somehow forced them back into their sleeping bags and is furiously using one to bludgeon the other.
** ''Freddy vs. Jason'' also had Jason impaling Freddy with his own severed arm.
* GroinAttack: In ''Part III'' [[ParanoiaFuel Andy's walking down the hall on his hands and Jason cleaves him in half from the crotch downward]], plus Paul in ''The Final Chapter'' gets speared in the groin with enough force he's lifted off the ground and it bursts out his back.
** Was originally going to happen to one of the ''female'' victims in ''Part V'', and was actually filmed, but they realized the MPAA would never let it through, so they re-filmed her death with a new method.
** Steven tries against Jason in ''Jason Goes to Hell'', to no avail.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Andy's corpse in ''Part III'' is found cut in half.

* {{Hallucinations}}: Tommy Jarvis in ''Part V'' hallucinates about Jason standing around menacingly few times.
** Rennie in ''Part VIII'' has hallucinations of Jason as a child.
* HarmfulToMinors: Events of ''The Final Chapter'' messed up Tommy Jarvis ''bad''.
* HarpoonGun: Jason shoots Vera into her eye with a harpoon gun in ''Part III''.
** Jason impales Paul with one in ''The Final Chapter'', through his crotch. And as if that wasn't enough, he then pulls the trigger.
** He impales Suzie with one in ''Part VIII''.
* HealingFactor: Jason according to ''Jason X''. That would explain why he looks different in every movie, [[RuleOfCool but we all know better]]. This also explains why he retains his eyes and eyesight after [[EyeScream being stabbed in the eye a few times]].
* HearingVoices: [[spoiler:Mrs. Voorhees in the first film.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: In the climax of ''Jason X''.
** Borders on StupidSacrifice: [[spoiler:Brodski was in a spacesuit with maneuvering jets, while Jason is free-floating in space. Brodski could have just set him on course for Earth 2 (or the nearby star), then flown back to the shuttle unharmed. Even though Jason had demonstrated an uncanny ability to fling himself from explosions to his targets, he wouldn't have been able to escape unaided.]]
** SpaceDoesNotWorkThatWay: Brodski couldn't just push Jason into the atmosphere - that wouldn't incinerate him. He had to apply a ''constant acceleration'' to generate enough speed to cause Jason to burn on re-entry. Besides, Jason makes a wonderful heat shield, no?

* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:Mrs. Voorhees]] in the first film.

* HostileWeather: It starts raining and thundering midway through ''The Final Chapter'' and ''Part V''.
** There's thunder and lightning in ''Part VI'''s opening sequence.

** Sheriff Garris beliefs Tommy to be one in ''Part VI''.
** Jason becomes one in Freddy's plan to return in ''Film/FreddyVsJason''.

* JustHitHim: Jason probably could have punched Steven's heart out during the finale of ''Jason Goes to Hell'', but he seemed to enjoy throwing him around and hitting him with a stick instead.
* JustThinkOfThePotential: In ''Jason X'', Jason is finally captured by the Feds after having killed a couple hundred people over the years. Some military folks actually ''want to keep Jason alive so they can figure out how to reproduce his [[NighInvulnerability invincibility]]''. Slaughter ensues. In their defense, they did try executing him a dozen times first.
* KarmaHoudini: In ''Part V'', [[spoiler:Roy never went after Vic, the guy who actually killed his son.]]
* KickTheDog: Averted. Jason was supposed to kick a barking dog at some point in a film, but Kane Hodder (the only actor to play Jason multiple times) decided it wasn't in his character.
* KillItWithFire: When Tina confronts Jason in the cabin basement in ''Part VII'', she uses her powers to douse him with gasoline and [[ManOnFire set him on fire]]. This somehow causes the whole house [[StuffBlowingUp blow up]] too.
** She set the whole basement on fire. The explosion was probably the furnace.
* KillTheCutie: Mostly averted, as the cute one is usually the FinalGirl. Played completely straight though, in ''Jason X''.
** Violet in ''Part V'' and Jenna in the remake.
* {{Kneecapping}}: Chris stabs Jason's knee when she is finally forced to confront him in ''Part III''.
* KubrickStare: Brodski to Jason in ''Jason X''.

-->'''Both of them:''' We ''love'' premarital sex!

* LetsSplitUpGang: After the ship's captain is found dead in ''Part VIII'', Julius organizes a hunt-down for Jason.

* MamaBear: [[spoiler:Pamela Voorhees, a psychopathic example.]]
** [[spoiler:Also the most plausible explanation for the otherwise more improbable feats seen in ''Part 1'', such as arrowing a grown man to a door a good six inches off the ground, and hurling a body through a window.]]
** There's also Jessica Kimble in ''Jason Goes To Hell'', and Joey B. Joey refuses to hand over baby Stephanie back to Jessica because she's with Steven, who at that point was suspected of murdering Jessica's mother.

* TheManTheyCouldntHang: Chris attempts to dispose of Jason by hanging him in ''Part III''.

* MummiesAtTheDinnerTable: Jason keeps his mother's head around in ''Part II''.
* MurderByMistake: After [[BlindWithoutEm losing his glasses]], Wayne shoots the unnamed shipmate in a fit of panic, thinking he is Jason.
** Happens in ''Jason X'', where Jason accidentally causes a destruction of ''an entire space station''.
* MusicalisInterruptus: In ''Jason X'', Jason's defeat at Kay-Em's hands uses this. After she clearly has the upper-hand, his theme music plays each time he gets back up, and immediately stops when she puts another hole in him.

* MythologyGag: ''Jason X'' in the 1980 Crystal Lake simulation. See Lampshade Hanging.
* {{Nanomachines}}: These things fix people up in the future in ''Jason X''. By the end of the movie they go haywire and give defeated Jason [[ArtificialLimbs artificial limbs and head]].
* NeckLift: Jason lifts up against the wall before gutting her in ''The Final Chapter''.
** Same thing happens to Violet in ''Part V''.
* NeckSnap: Sissy dies in ''Part VI'' when Jason grabs her through an open window and snaps her neck. Later Jason gets his neck snapped when Megan gives a faceful of motorboat propeller

* OffscreenTeleportation: Jason, from ''Part VII'' onwards.
* OffWithHisHead: Many, many times. ''Part VIII'' is a memorable example.
** ''Part VI'' has a ''triple'' decapitation.
* OnceIsNotEnough: Plenty of examples, most egregiously in the first movie where the FinalGirl has not one but THREE chances to finish off Mrs, Voorhees, but runs away each time. Jason himself averts it of course, as he keeps bludgeoning Ali when he knocks him out in ''Part III''. Ali lived through it though, so Jason does it again to him with a machete later on.
** Averted with Tommy hacking Jason's corpse at the end of ''The Final Chapter'', when he sees his fingers twitching.

* OrificeInvasion: This is how Jason changes bodies in ''Jason Goes to Hell''.

* RainOfBlood: Debbie discovers Andy's body in ''Part III'' when his blood drips on her.
* RavensAndCrows: Random crow flies on the scene just before Tina, Eddie and Raymond are killed in ''Part V''. After the deed is done, it leaves.

* RecycledINSPACE: ''Jason X'' again.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Jason has a pair when turned into a cyborg in ''Jason X''.
* RedHerring: [[spoiler:Jason himself]] in the first movie. This is only in hindsight, even- [[spoiler:While there's mention of a "young boy drowning" once, this isn't emphasized until Mrs. Voorhees comes in, and by the time she mentions Jason, her demeanor all but reveals herself as the killer]]

** Various ''Film/{{Alien}}'' references in ''Jason X'' and Bree's death in the remake is an apparent nod to ''Film/SilentNightDeadlyNight''.
** [[spoiler: Marcie's murder]] in the first movie and [[spoiler: Mark, Jeff and Sandra's deaths]] in ''Part II'' are a ShoutOut - or a rip off - of the 1971 thriller ''Reazione A Catena'', also known as ''Bay Of Blood'', ''Twitch Of The Death Nerve'' and ''Carnage''.

* TaxidermyTerror: Lawrence tries to masturbate in the living room, but finds himself too creeped out by a big stuffed moose head staring right at him to go through with it.

* ThisWasHisTrueForm: Happens to Jason when he's washed by flood of toxic waste in ''Part VIII''.

* TokenMinority: One black dude is seen among the counselors in ''Part 2''.

* TownWithADarkSecret: The people of the nice town of Forest Green wouldn't want you to know that you're actually in the town formerly known as Crystal Lake.

** TheRemake's trailer mimics the style of the first one with similar results.

* TwistEnding ''Jason Goes to Hell''. Never expected for ''[[Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet him]]'' to show up, did you?

* WhoWearsShortShorts: Steve Christy does, much to [[FanDisservice dismay]] of the male audience.

* AWizardDidIt: At the end of ''Jason Goes to Hell'', [[CaptainObvious Jason is in Hell]]. At the start of the next movie release, ''Jason X'', Jason has been captured by the government, and displays a healing factor that had never been shown before. Then comes ''Freddy VS Jason'', where Freddy brings Jason back to life, revitalizing him from a rotted corpse back to his old self, in better physical condition than in ''Part VI'' (he'd been getting more and more damaged since then), and at the end of the film is still walking around. This fixes the plot hole between ''Hell'' and ''X'', as well as giving a possible explanation to Jason's healing factor.

'''''Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan'' (1989)'''

This film became a SeriesFauxnale when it performed so well at the box office that the series continued despite the intent of the producers to end the franchise. ''Final Chapter'' features Corey Feldman as a young Tommy Jarvis, Crispin Glover as one of the ill-fated teenagers, a lot of gratuitous nudity, arguably the best gore in the series (courtesy of special effects genius Tom Savini), and a ton of NarmCharm. If you want to watch a SoBadItsGood teen comedy that morphs into a [[SugarWiki/SoCoolItsAwesome So Cool It's Awesome]] horror flick, you want this movie.

* AxeBeforeEntering: No door can hold Jason out. Happens literally in ''Part III'' and ''The Final Chapter''.

* BlackEyesOfEvil: In the ending of [[spoiler: ''The Final Chapter'', after Tommy has killed Jason rather violently and hugs his sister with his eyes closed]], he opens them to show us that there is something ''not right'' about him anymore...

* BreakingTheFourthWall: Martin chides the audience of ''Part VI'' for their BileFascination.

-->'''Bree''': Wow, you really know how to make a girl feel special.

* CassandraTruth: Tommy's past life in institutions is an obstruction to anyone to believe his claims of Jason's recent revival in ''Part VI''.

* CriticalExistenceFailure: When Jason swaps bodies in ''Jason Goes To Hell'', the former one rots away.

* DestinationDefenestration: Rick's body is thrown through a window in ''Part III''.

*** That was a necessity. He won't kill them out of general sadism like [[Film/{{Halloween}} Michael Meyers]].
* EveryCarIsAPinto: After Rennie crashes the police car in ''Part VIII'', it blows up.

*** An ink pen (that was allegedly used by StephenKing) into the same eye in ''Part VIII''.

* GenreSavvy: Lizabeth in ''Part VI'':

** ''Freddy vs. Jason'' also had Jason impaling Freddy with his own severed arm.

** SpaceDoesNotWorkThatWay: Brodski couldn't just push Jason into the atmosphere - that wouldn't incinerate him. He had to apply a ''constant acceleration'' to generate enough speed to cause Jason to burn on re-entry. Besides, Jason makes a wonderful heat shield, no?

* JustThinkOfThePotential: In ''Jason X'', Jason is finally captured by the Feds after having killed a couple hundred people over the years. Some military folks actually ''want to keep Jason alive so they can figure out how to reproduce his [[NighInvulnerability invincibility]]''. Slaughter ensues. In their defense, they did try executing him a dozen times first.

** She set the whole basement on fire. The explosion was probably the furnace.

-->'''VR teen girl #1:''' Hey, do you want a beer?
-->'''VR teen girl #2:''' Or do you wanna smoke some pot?
-->'''VR teen girl #1:''' Or we can have premarital sex?
-->'''Both of them:''' We ''love'' premarital sex!

* PropRecycling: Necronomicon from ''EvilDead'' and The Crate from ''{{Creepshow}}'' make an appearance in ''Jason Goes To Hell''.

* RedHerring: [[spoiler:Jason himself]] in the first movie. This is only in hindsight, even- [[spoiler:While there's mention of a "young boy drowning" once, this isn't emphasized until Mrs. Voorhees comes in, and by the time she mentions Jason, her demeanor all but reveals herself as the killer]]
** Hints that [[spoiler:Tommy]] is doing the killings in ''Part V''.

* SheCleansUpNicely: Maddy in ''Part VII''.

** In the remake, there's an argument about [[BlueVelvet Heineken and Pabst Blue Ribbon]].

* TownWithADarkSecret: The people of the nice town of Forest Green wouldn't want you to know that you're actually in the town formerly known as Crystal Lake.

** [[TheRemake The Remake's]] trailer mimics the style of the first one with similar results.

** ''Part III'' has Jason opening his mouth for the first time in the whole franchise (as an adult, at least):

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: The reaction by Rowan when she sees Jason approaching the escape shuttle. Then Brodski intervenes.
