But I also really need to rewatch Bay of Blood.

It's been a long time since I thought about the final 3, but I suspect I should rewatch 'em.

It's so clear to me that the Friday the 13th Series forms four trilogies: - Original Lake-to-Hockey-Mask trilogy - Tommy Jarvis trilogy - šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø LOL šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø Still the 80s trilogy - 21st Century ROTFLMFAO trilogy I actually don't understand why streaming companies keep bundling them in 4s.

But the skinny dipping scene and the house party wear their trashiness like a badge of honor, and I've got to respect that.

Possibly the best in the series (even if it lacks the arbitrary, amoral gialloness of the original or the total comic self awareness of VI)? It's sorta amazing that they released the Final Chapter in 1984, and then immediately followed up with two more Tommy Jarvis movies in 1985 and 1986.

Yeah - thereā€™s a point around the end of 3 where he cannot be just a dude in a mask, but it takes 6 movies before we get accidental lightning resurrection, an Alice Cooper soundtrack, and an all night occult bookstore.

Now in the (un)Final Chapter.

Jason's strength and endurance are also pretty erratic (even in the same movie) until they settle on his superhuman revenant status in Jason Lives.
