F13 #9: Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (spoiler alert)

Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday is a 1993 American slasher film directed by Adam Marcus and produced by Sean S. Cunningham. The ninth installment in the Friday the 13th film series, it was preceded by 1989's Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, followed by Jason X, and was the first Friday the 13th film distributed by New Line Cinema. The ending set in motion what would become Freddy vs. Jason ten years later.

Plot

At Camp Crystal Lake, an undercover government agent lures Jason Voorhees into a trap set by the FBI, and several armed men blow him to bits, destroying his body. His remains are sent to a morgue, where a coroner becomes possessed by Jason's spirit after ingesting Jason's putrid heart. Jason, now in the coroner's body, escapes the morgue, leaving a trail of death.

At Crystal Lake, he finds three partying teens. While two of them have sex, Jason kills the third, then the other two. Jason attacks two police officers, killing one and possessing the other. Meanwhile, bounty hunter Creighton Duke discovers only members of Jason's bloodline can truly kill him, and he will return to his normal and near-invincible state if he possesses a member of his family. The only living relatives of Jason are his half-sister Diana Kimble, her daughter Jessica, and Stephanie, the infant daughter of Jessica and Steven Freeman.

Jessica meets Duke at the Voorhees house and is given a mystical dagger which she can use to permanently kill Jason. A police officer enters the diner where Robert, possessed, transfers his heart into him. Duke falls through the floor, and Jessica is confronted by Landis and Randy. Landis is killed accidentally with the dagger, and Jessica drops the dagger. Randy, possessed, attempts to be reborn through Stephanie, but Steven arrives and severs his neck with a machete. Jason's heart, which has grown into a demonic infant, crawls out of Randy's neck to Diana's dead body in the basement. Steven and Jessica pull Duke out of the basement as Jason discovers Diana's body and slithers up her vagina, allowing him to be reborn.

While Steven and Jessica attempt to retrieve the dagger, Duke distracts Jason and is killed with a bear hug. Jason turns his attention to Jessica, and Steven tackles Jason, who both fight outside while Jessica retrieves the dagger. Jason badly brutalizes Steven and when he is about to kill him, Jessica stabs Jason in the chest, releasing the souls Jason accumulated over time. Demonic hands burst out of the ground and pull Jason into the depths of Hell. Steven and Jessica reconcile and walk off into the sunrise with their baby. Later a dog unearths Jason's mask while digging in the dirt. Freddy Krueger's gloved hand bursts out of the dirt and pulls Jason's mask into the ground as Freddy's signature laughter is heard.

Per curiosities outlined in the main post regarding Jason Moss, I can't help but wonder how a corporeal(physical) Jason Voorhees, was 'revived' and made able to kill in the physical realm... considering that Jason Voorhees was blown up and that Diana's body, possessed by Jason, was pulled(by "Demonic Hands") "into the depths of Hell"

Looking back at F13 "The Final Chapter" & parts 3, 2, 1

  • In part 1, the killer is actually Jason's mother, psychotic over the drowning death of Jason at Camp Crystal Lake, some time prior. Alice decapitates Mrs. Voorhees with a machete.

Alice(Friday the 13th) Another Q-related Alice? (see all)

Alice is a main character in the Friday the 13th series, created by Victor Miller. She first appears in Friday the 13th as a camp counselor, with a second appearance in the sequel Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) as a resident in Crystal Lake trying to piece her life together. Alice is portrayed by Adrienne King in both films. The character has a supporting role in the comic book series and a main role in the novels. The character went through different drafts during the early stages of the screenplay, eventually moving to a more sympathetic role for the 1979 film. Her battle with Pamela Voorhees at the end of the first film serves as the catalyst for the events of the series, as Jason Voorhees witnessed the beheading of his mother.

  • Throughout the series, the one thing we never learn about, is the father of Jason Voorhees... Jason also continues to kill absent-mindedly, despite having gotten revenge against Alice.

  • At the end of part 2, Jason is wounded(seemingly fataly) in a final scuffle between himself, Paul and Ginny, after Ginny retreats to Jason's cabin, wherin she descovers Jason's alter with his mother's head on it - Ginny uses Mrs. Voorhees sweater and provocative language, in an attempt to confuse and subdue Jason. However, when Paul and Ginny return to the cabin back at camp:

Friday the 13th Part 2

Plot

They think that Jason has followed them, but when they open the door, they are greeted by Terry's dog Muffin. Suddenly, an unmasked Jason bursts through the window from behind and grabs Ginny. She then awakens to her being loaded into an ambulance and calls out for Paul, who is nowhere to be seen and his fate left ambiguous. Back in the shack, Pamela Voorhees' head remains on the altar as Jason is nowhere to be seen.

  • The "unmasked Jason" looks suspiciously like Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre... Was Ginny knocked unconscious and Paul killed/kidnapped?

  • In part 2, we see a seemingly innocuous red chainsaw being used around camp... the camera seems to focus for a particular amount of time, on this chainsaw, the first time it appears in the movie... just pointing it out.

Friday the 13th Part III

Friday the 13th Part III, also known as Friday the 13th Part 3 and Friday the 13th Part 3: 3D, is a 1982 American 3D slasher film directed by Steve Miner and the third installment in the Friday the 13th film series. Originally released in 3-D, it is the first film to feature antagonist Jason Voorhees wearing his signature hockey mask, which has become a trademark of both the character and franchise, as well an icon in American cinema and horror films in general. As a direct sequel to Friday the 13th (1980) and Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981), the film follows a group of co-eds on vacation at a house on Crystal Lake, where Jason Voorhees has taken refuge.

Originally, the film was supposed to focus on Ginny Field, who checked herself into a mental institution after her traumatic battle with Jason Voorhees in the previous film. The film would have been similar to Halloween II, with Jason Voorhees tracking down Ginny in the mental hospital similar to how Michael Myers stalked Laurie Strode in the sequel. This concept was abandoned when Amy Steel declined to reprise her role.[2]

When first released, the film was intended to end the series as a trilogy. However unlike its sequel Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter (1984) and the later film, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993), Friday the 13th Part III did not include a moniker in its title to indicate it as such.

Despite negative reviews from critics, Friday the 13th Part III grossed over $36.6 million at the US box office on a budget of $2.3 million. The film was the first to remove E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial from the number-one box office spot and became the second highest-grossing horror film of 1982, behind Poltergeist. The film has the third most attendance of any film in the Friday the 13th series, with approximately 11,762,400 tickets sold during its initial run.[3] Jason's look in this film, which varies greatly from its predecessor, has since become the look to which the character is modeled in later incarnations.


In summary: I feel that the Friday the 13th franchise has been used to consistently pedal and cover for global corruption, while bragging about it the whole way through. I strongly believe that Corey Feldman being in "The Final Chapter", is no coincidence given the rest of my research - I feel that Feldman is legit and has useful info.
