Friday the 13th Part 3

Picking up almost directly where Part 2 left off, Jason escapes to a nearby lake resort named Higgins Haven to rest from his wounds. At this time, Chris Higgins returns to the property with some friends after she was attacked by a mysterious disfigured stranger two years earlier. While Chris tries to swallow her fear of past events, an unmasked and reclusive Jason kills anyone who wanders into the barn in which he is hiding. But once he finds a means to cover his hideous face, he wanders out to hunt again.

Trivia

* As of 2005, this is the highest grossing 3-D film.
* At one point, the character of Debbie picks of a copy of Fangoria and turns to an article on Tom Savini who provided the make-up and effects for the original Friday the 13th and would return for the film's follow-up, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter.
* Excluding the footage from Part 2, this is the only Friday the 13th film in which a character does not say Jason's name.
* An infamous alternate ending depicted Jason actually decapitating Chris. It seems, however, that this ending may not have actually been filmed, featured only in behind-the-scenes photos and in at least one of the two novelizations.
