You need to see a doctor about that ax wound, and maybe visit a plastic surgeon while you're at it.

  • Jimbo has a pretty brutal death, what with his hand being nailed to the counter with a corkscrew and Jason slamming a meat cleaver in his face.
  • Jason killing a random hitchhiker by stabbing in the back of the throat, with the blade going all the way through the other side.
    • Made even worse by the fact that Tom Savini pretty much did just that behind the scenes as well. The actress had a prosthetic attached to the side of her neck for Tom to stab through, meaning she had to let him grab her and stab through the prosthetic with a real knife right next to her neck.
  • Jason stabbing Paul in the crotch with a harpoon gun and then pulling the trigger.
  • The suddenness of Terri's death makes it quite memorable, as we are spared Jason's initial attack, only seeing him catch her due to their shadows from a sudden burst of lighting. After cutting away to the inside of the house for a brief moment, we are treated to a shot of her being impaled on the outside wall with a shot from Jason's speargun.
  • Jason essentially crushing Doug's face with the palm of his hand.
  • Jason slitting Axel's throat with a bonesaw and then snapping his neck.
  • Jokes about "He's killing meee" aside, Rob's death is still rather horrific as Jason hacks him to death, his corpse is thrown through a window later on and its not pretty to look at to say the least.
  • Jason's rather... muted reaction to having his hand split with a machete.
  • Tommy hitting Jason in the eye with his own machete. Jason proceeds to fall down, with the floor pushing the blade further into his skull.
    • The sheer detail that goes into Jason's demise is pretty notable. His face contorts grotesquely as the machete runs up his skull and you can hear him moan in agony if you listen carefully. The effect is cringe-inducing, even if you feel Jason deserves it.
    • Tommy going to extreme lengths to finish him off is one of the most horrifying moments in the series. Even if the later movies never followed up on the implications of this movie's ending, the way it's presented here is chilling.
  • Sam's death noises are incredibly frightening.
