Much like the moniker locals give it, Camp Crystal Blood Lake usually delivers on its name.
Our rankings are based less on brutality and gore than on cleverness, camp, and cultural shock.
Each is sure to sit with you long after your time camping by the lake has ended.
Still, some qualifiers before we size up each slaying: We must acknowledge some franchise purism here.
We have included killings from only the original movie and its various sequels, not from the reboot.
And though Jason is not the murderer of the O.G.
(that carnage is ultimately his mothers legacy), we have included these victims in the ranking.
13.Kelly Rowland isnota survivor Freddy vs. Jason(2003)
13.
The abysmal crossover ofFriday the 13thandA Nightmare on Elm Streetmay best be remembered as Kelly Rowlands unfortunate acting debut.
Forgive the double entendre, but Jason, as the kids say, slays.
12.Jason catches Ricks eye Friday the 13th Part III(1982)
12.
Or maybe the maimed eyes are all metaphors for Jasons own warped vision inflicting unkind violence?
Either way, theres plenty of Oedipal eye gouging.
First comes poor Vera, who gets shot in the eye with a speargun.
For that alone, his man crush(ed) deserves a mention for its originality and simplicity.
Its a shame Vera couldnt have kept an eye out for Rick.
11.Adrienne helps breaks the ice Jason X(2001)
11.
Here we see Jason plunge scientist Adriennes head into a vat of liquid nitrogen to freeze it up instantly.
It might be overkill for a brave new world, but its total gory camp goodness for viewers.
The killing isnt a gory or gruesome act but more a reminder of the daring (desperate?)
ingenuity of the filmmakers as the franchise hit its eighth entry.
Again, without a machete handy, Jason proves quite the enterprising mass murderer.
Our hunk then toddles off down the hall to collect the brewski, persisting with his stupid handstand walk.
8.Jeff and Sandra get stabbed in the back Friday the 13th Part II(1981)
8.
Use protection, kids.
No, not that kind (thoughthatis important too).
We mean protection from spears!
InPart II, Jason makes the rounds of the campsite before encountering one happy couple hidden away.
Poor Sandra faces her own death as Jeff lies on top of her.
Its ultimately a sweet two-for-one deal for Jason.
(Lets not forget the stabbing of Kevin Bacons character after he just finished having sex.)
This one takes the idea ofla petite mortto a whole new level.
7.Annie makes a run for it Friday the 13th(1980)
7.
Unlike the other counselors, Annie never even makes it to Camp Crystal Lake.
As the conversation falters, Annie quickly realizes this sweet old woman isnt taking her to any campsite.
Panic sets in, and Annie jumps from the moving car and rolls into the forest.
This frightening red herring heightens the tension and tries to keep us guessing.
Meanwhile, ladies thrust and gyrate in an 80s aerobics video playing on a nearby TV.
4.Doug circles the drain Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter(1984)
4.
As he smashes through the glass door and crushes Dougs face, blood pools and drips down the drain.
3.Barry and Claudette get an unwelcome visitor Friday the 13th(1980)
3.
2.Alice gets served a head on a platter Friday the 13th Part II(1981)
2.
The sight of Mrs. Voorheess decayed severed head would give anyone a fatal heart attack.
Its a show for one, with Mother in view.
1.Meeting Mommie Dearest Friday the 13th(1980)
1.
Mother has arrived, and she is MOTHERING.
After running into her arms for salvation, Alice soon learns this mother isnt all that she seems.
after trying to right the wrong against her son on many horny camp counselors.
A mothers love may know no bounds, but Alice shows she wants out of this nightmare Wonderland.
