It Has A Death Curse: The 13 Best “Friday The 13th” Deaths

Published

on

6. Barry and Claudette: Friday The 13th 

While not a Jason kill, Barry and Claudette are the two first on screen deaths for the entire franchise. Pamela finds the young couple slacking from their duties as camp counselors and decides to take matters into her own hands. Nothing extravagant here, just a quick stabbing for both the young victims.

The actual deaths may be rather lack luster, but they were the first taste of what was to come. Pamela started the series out strong with a simple killing, and would later on hand the reigns over to her son who would become one of horror’s biggest faces. Even the big names, started out small.

5. Kate: Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood 

Part VII is a guilty pleasure of mine, nothing about this movie works, that is except for the truly kick ass Jason makeup we are treated to at the very end of the movie. Everything about this entry is so over the top and crazy that it blends together into the most amazing train wreck of a movie I have personally experienced.

What makes Kate stand out the most in this movie is just the sheer absurdity of the entire situation. Jason deciding to switch things up a bit, offs Kate with a party horn. Yes, you read that right, a part horn to the eye is how Jason decided to take out his next victim. I feel like what really happened was that the prop team was out to lunch while filming this scene, so the director just grabbed a random item and said to make it work. That what I like to think at least.

4. Rob: Friday The 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter

Rob is on a mission for vengeance. Rob finds himself in Camp Crystal Lake during the events of Part IV in order to hunt down Jason and avenge his sister who met her end during the events of Part II. While Rob may not get his revenge by the end of the film, it didn’t stop his death scene from being one of the most memorable from the entire series.

While being attacked by Jason Rob can be heard Screaming, “He’s killing me!” over and over while being shredded by Jason. Very astute observation Rob thank you for the insight of your murder. This scene was silly in comparison to the rest of the film, but hey that only adds to the charm of the thing.

3. Jack: Friday The 13th

Come on its Kevin Bacon, of course he was going to make this list. One of the best deaths of any slasher movie period, we are treated to a young Kevin Bacon lying in bed until Pamela Voorhees grabs his head from under the bed and impales him through the throat with an arrow. An incredibly painful and gruesome way to end a counselor, who would grow up to be a Hollywood Star.

The best part about Jack’s death is the makeup effects put into it. To this day the effect looks painfully real, and upon a first time viewing, comes seemingly out of nowhere. The camera doesn’t shy away any either, the viewer is treated to the gruesomely painful on-screen death, in all its bloody glory.

2. Jason Voorhees: Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter

Jason has killed a lot of people from Part II onward, but it isn’t until The Final Chapter that he finally meets his end by none other than series favorite, Tommy Jarvis. Jarvis is able to distract Jason by wearing one of his hand made masks, and in the heat of the moment attack Jason with his own machete. With the camera fading out as Tommy repeatedly chops away at Jason’s corpse in a rage fueled moment of pure horror awesomeness.

Plus, the death of Jason is what led to the ridiculously cool zombie Jason effects that would appear in the later sequels. However, there is only one death from the entire series that tops that Jason’s.

1. Pamela Voorhees: Friday The 13th

Pamela is the one who started it all in the original Friday The 13th. Consumed with grief after the apparent drowning of her beloved son, Pamela took it upon herself to make sure that the camp would never open again. And she went about that decision in the best way possible, returning and committing a few murders any time the camp is trying to rebuild and reopen.

It’s not until Pamela meets her end at the hands of Alice from the first entry, that her reign of terror is ended. And it is when the reigns are passed from mother to son, as Jason would continue his mother’s legacy for nearly every sequel that would follow. Jason may be the face of the series but Pamela is where the terror started, and without her there would be no Jason or Friday The 13th.

What did you think of the kills chosen for this list, any of your personal favorites make the cut? Drop a comment below and let us know what your all-time favorite Friday The 13th death is.

‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3’ Is a Go with Enhanced Budget and New Characters

Published

Winnie the Pooh 3

Wow, they’re churning things out fast! The upcoming sequel “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3” is officially moving forward, promising an expanded narrative with a larger budget and the introduction of beloved characters from A.A. Milne’s original tales. As confirmed by Variety, the third installment in the horror franchise will welcome Rabbit, the heffalumps, and the woozles into its dark and twisted narrative.

This sequel is a part of an ambitious cinematic universe that reimagines children’s stories as horror tales. Alongside “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” and its first sequel, the universe includes films such as “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare”, “Bambi: The Reckoning,” and “Pinocchio Unstrung”. These movies are set to converge in the crossover event “Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble,” slated for a 2025 release.

Winnie the Pooh Poohniverse

The creation of these films was made possible when A.A. Milne’s 1926 children’s book “Winnie-the-Pooh” entered the public domain last year, allowing filmmakers to explore these cherished characters in unprecedented ways. Director Rhys Frake-Waterfield and producer Scott Jeffrey Chambers, of Jagged Edge Productions, have led the charge in this innovative endeavor.

The inclusion of Rabbit, heffalumps, and woozles in the upcoming sequel introduces a new layer to the franchise. In Milne’s original stories, heffalumps are imagined creatures resembling elephants, while woozles are known for their weasel-like characteristics and a penchant for stealing honey. Their roles in the narrative remain to be seen, but their addition promises to enrich the horror universe with deeper connections to the source material.
