Jason Goes to Hell clip: Revisit the film’s killer opening sequence!

Today marks the twenty-eighth anniversary of the release of director Adam Marcus’s Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (watch it HERE) – and we’ve decided to celebrate the anniversary by revisiting the film’s killer opening sequence, in which horror icon Jason Voorhees suffers more damage than we had ever seen him take in the Friday the 13th franchise. And that’s just the beginning of the movie! Check it out in the embed above.

Directed by Marcus from a screenplay by Dean Lorey and Jay Huguely (who also gets story credit with Marcus), Jason Goes to Hell has the following synopsis:

After being blown away by a team of FBI agents, Jason Voorhees needs to find a way to overcome certain death. When his bloodied remains are sent to the morgue, his heart, still intact, is able to hypnotize a coroner and take over his body. After brutally dispatching a couple of FBI agents, he heads back to his favorite stomping grounds: Crystal Lake. Jason commences another teen massacre while a bounty hunter discovers the only way to kill him.

The film stars John D. LeMay, Kari Keegan, Steven Culp, Erin Gray, Rusty Schwimmer, Leslie Jordan, Richard Gant, Billy Green Bush, Kipp Marcus, Andrew Bloch, Adam Cranner, Allison Smith, Michelle Clunie, Michael B. Silver, Kathryn Atwood, and Julie Michaels, with Steven Williams as badass bounty hunter Creighton Duke and Kane Hodder playing Jason Voorhees for the third time.

I still remember going to see Jason Goes to Hell on opening day, August 13th, 1993. This is a love it or hate it entry in the Friday the 13th series, but I was blown away by how cool it was the first time I saw it and have continued to enjoy it over the years. It wouldn’t be one of my top picks to put on when it’s time to watch some Friday the 13th, but it’s fun.
