* PoliceAreUseless: Sheriff Cologne knows Jason’s back, but won’t (or more likely, ''can’t'') really do anything about it. His deputy makes an honest stab at it, but he doesn’t know enough about Jason to actually help, ((Spoiler: and he’s murdered when he goes to investigate.))

* ActionizedSequel: Downplayed. Jason makes his first appearance and kill within the first five minutes, but the bulk of the film is a quiet, character-driven suspense-drama.

* SnowEqualsDeath: It ''is'' called ''Never Hike In The Snow''. It's wintertime, so Camp Crystal Lake is covered in snow and ice. Few who venture inside come back out.
