Friday fans know, Jason Voorhees goes on to wreak havoc in Manhattan and even.. space — the final frontier. We won't spoil the fifth entry in the franchise for you if you're new to this one.
Friday The 13th Part III is where Jason Voorhees picks up his iconic mask (burlap sack, be gone — thanks, Shelly!), which means in this fourth installment, we get a full on iconic Jason for the duration of his screen time. Plus there's that iconic Crispin Glover dance scene. Here's the synopsis and trailer for Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter.
After being announced dead and taken to a morgue, Jason Voorhees spontaneously revives, escapes from the hospital, and stalks a group of friends renting a house in the countryside near Crystal Lake.
Starring Corey Feldman as monster kid Tommy Jarvis (who does some serious psychological evaluation of Voorhees), Kimberly Beck, Crispin Glover, Judie Aronson, and Ted White beneath the mask. To celebrate, we're taking a look back at The Final Chapter on the cover of FANGORIA issue #36 from July 1984. This issue also features a body count and behind-the-scenes photos. Feast your eyes on the cover below.
And here's a peek inside for some of that behind-the-scenes action. Savini and crew getting down and dirty—look at that cleaver to Crispin's head! There's more inside the full issue, which you can read right here in its entirety for free.
