Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)
Director: Adam Marcus
Starring: John D. LeMay, Kari Keegan, Steven Williams, Steven Culp
Jason Voorhees gets blown to hell, shipped to Ohio, and turned into a body-hopping nightmare. Somehow, the mustache shaving is still the weirdest part.
John and Sean tackle Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, the ninth Friday the 13th movie and a sequel that treats franchise continuity like another expendable camp counselor. From exploding watermelon heads to the infamous “Jason wiener snake,” we dig into whether this supernatural slasher is a franchise betrayal, a glorious trash-movie party, or both.
-
No Hockey Mask, No Problem? — New Line Cinema takes over, Jason barely gets to be Jason, and we debate whether this would have a better reputation without the Friday the 13th baggage. Also: why does he look like a rejected Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles character?
-
Eat Your Heart Out. Literally. — A hungry coroner kicks off the body-possession madness, Creighton Duke holds the plot together with exposition and Krazy Glue, and Jason still hates windows—even when he’s not Jason.
-
A Close Shave with the Murder Husk — The naked cop, the straight razor, the unexplained grooming, and a killer considerate enough to get dressed afterward. Plus, our biggest wardrobe complaint: resurrected Jason should absolutely be wearing that little waitress dress.
-
Practical Gore, Disposable Lore — The unrated tent kill earns its flowers, the body melt brings some Cronenberg flavor, and a baby gets left on a counter in a box. We also unpack the Evil Dead connections, Freddy’s glove, and a “Final Friday” that immediately teases another damn movie.
