For almost thirty years, hockey afficianado and maniacal serial killer Jason Voorhees has been murdering the pot smoking, promiscuous teens who dare trespass onto Camp Crystal Lake, the very place Jason was supposed to have died in the fifties, and were he witnessed his own mothers decapitation at the hands of a resourceful young girl many years later. And it was for this reason that Jason started taking revenge on the world’s teenage population. But stabbing someone with a machete can only keep a budding serial killer entertained for so long, so it is no surprise that over his 12 film reign of terror, Jason has become very creative with his methods of execution. Here I list my top three Jason Voorhees murders, chosen out of 146 possible deaths! Enjoy!
#3 – Mark goes for a ride (Friday the 13th Part 2)
#3 – Mark goes for a ride (Friday the 13th Part 2)
A favourite amongst fans worldwide, this kill pretty much sums up the tone of all of the ‘Friday the 13th’ movies, showing that these films are not meant to be taken seriously and exist solely to frighten and entertain! And boy is this kill entertaining! First, the unexpected machete to the face, and then a wheelchair tumble down some stone steps! Movie magic!
If you didn’t laugh, you are devoid of humour and that is a fact!
#2 – Jason is pro-choice! (Friday the 13th Part 3)
Ouch! Just ouch! After nailing his beautiful girlfriend, happy go lucky Andy is literally head over heels about the whole affair. How can Jason change this situation? By cutting into the guy, junk first! Way to give the guy a vasectomy! Surgeons could learn a thing or two from Jason’s spontaneous body adjustments. Can you hear the word ‘Jasonectomy’?
I’ll say it again: ouch!
#1 – Float like a butterfly, sting like a dumptruck! (Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan)
You gotta love Julius in this movie! I mean, this guy has balls! It is established pretty early on that he can kick some ass, and he continues to prove this throughout the movie, helping others along the way. And when Jason finally corners him, he gives his all to try and defeat the monster in front of him. Not with a knife, axe or gun, but with his bare fists. It is a pity, then, that Jason also decides to show off his pugilistic tendencies and, after letting Julius punch himself out of energy, ends the fight with a decisive blow…
Ding, ding, ding! Julius scored more on the points card, but just couldn’t match to Jason’s all round brutality!
I hope you enjoyed these little clips, and will stay tuned for more ‘top three’ posts in the future! In the meantime, enjoy this video which showcases the majority of the deaths that occur in the ‘Friday the 13th’ series!
