Hey, Tommy! Remember me?!
  • Whatever this movie's flaws it has some of the most disturbing deaths in the entire series. Special mention goes to Eddie, who has a belt wrapped across his eyes and around a tree. The belt is slowly tightened, until eventually his eyes start to cave in.
  • Although the fake head looks funny, one of the greasers is killed via a burning hot flare to the mouth, a truly horrible way to go out.
  • Demon being impaled through the chest and thigh.
  • Tommy is a rather unnerving character throughout the movie. The ending of Part IV already threw him clear into Ambiguously Evil territory, and his frequent visions, Hair-Trigger Temper, and general quiet nature make him rather unsettling.
  • Vic killing Joey entirely because he annoyed him. Hell, Vic might actually be a more memorable killer than Roy, the main villain of the movie.
  • The fakeout dream sequence near the end, with Tommy murdering Pam out of the blue.
    • For that matter, the actual ending of the movie, which implies that Tommy has officially become Jason's true successor.
      • However, expanded universe material does reveal that he stopped himself from actually doing it slightly downplays the nightmare factor of this scene, but the mere fact that, for whatever reason, he tried to kill his would-have-been victim is not much better.
