In 1986, Paramount brought to us the conclusion of the Tommy Jarvis arc, which began in 1984 with
The Final Chapter (funny, “Final”). That movie was made not just to close the sequence, but as a reaction to the displeasure with which
A New Beginning had been received. The studio heard and responded with a return of the real Jason Voorhees, thus kicking off the next era of one of our favorite mass killers.
Jason Lives introduced us to the zombie Jason! A relentless, reanimated killer corpse. What's not to love? Anyway, after taking 1987 off, the franchise returned with a new actor behind the mask and a set of victims for the machete wielding slasher in
Friday the 13th: The New Blood.
