Scenes cut
from the film:
An extra scene of conversation
between Sara and her boyfriend, cut out of the theatrical and North
American video releases, is included in the television version of
the film, put in to bring up the film's running time
The following scenes were cut from
the film:
Nurse Rhonda was originally held
up and gutted, but it ended up being cut out so that it only showed
her being stabbed.
A scene cut in which Tommy shows
Rob a fake guillotine. Tommy puts a stick in the guillotine. It
drops and the stick is cut in two. Then, Tommy puts a fake arm in
and cuts it off. Rob thinks its real and starts screaming. When
Tommy starts laughing, Rob figures out that it is a joke. Trish
comes in and asks Rob if he wants to stay for dinner. He
doesn't.
One scene in which Doug and Sarah
are on the porch. They stand outside and talk about not
dancing.
In another scene, Mrs. Jarvis goes
into Trish's room and tells her to go get a car part in town. Mrs.
Jarvis also announces that she is going jogging before it
storms.
A small scene cut during the time
in which the Jarvis' car breaks down. In the original version, right
after Trish tells Tommy to hurry up it cuts. It did continue with
Tommy running up to Trish in a scary mask, scaring Trish. Tommy
declares that he made the mask the first week that he got
there.
Sarah and Doug are together in
their room (before the party starts). They talk about how nice each
other’s legs are and how nervous they are about going to the
party.
A scene where Tommy shows Rob a
toy soldier melting under a magnifying glass.
A scene where Trish finds her
mother drowned in a bathtub.
The original script had
character Tommy Jarvis splitting Jason's head open with a machete at
the conclusion. Tom Savini wasn't particularly enthused with this
lackluster method, and after a member of his effects crew (John
Vulich) toyed with a prop machete used in Dawn Of The Dead, Savini
got the idea of having the machete blade plowed into Jason's head,
followed by the hilt hitting the floor and the villain sliding
headfirst down the blade.
