Friday the 13th The Final Chapter (1984)****.

***

Firstly, there was no "Friday the 13th" horror movie in 1983, since Sean S. Cunningham and Harry Manfredini worked on the comedy movie 'Spring Break', breaking the sequence of sequels. By 1984, Wes Craven wrote and directed the fantasy horror hybrid classic 'A nightmare on Elm Street', (which was about a dream killer named Fred Krueger), (Robert England, Dead and Buried, 1981-directed by Gary A. Sherman); secondly, there wasn't any 'Halloween' sequels until 1988, so in the 1980's it was Freddy versus Jason. In that year writers Bruce Hidemi Sakow and Barney Cohen, decided to end the horror of Jason Voorhees, even Tom Savini came back for Part IV. With Frank Mancuso, Jr serving as producer again, and Harry Manfedini returning for the music score, "The Final Chapter", was said as The End of the saga...

In Part III Jason Voorhees, (Richard Brooker), was fatally injured in the old barn at Crystal Lake. Part IV has two minutes of flashbacks of Paul Holt, (John Furey), telling the campers from Part II, (1981), how bad Jason Voorhees was, and his mother, Pamela Sue Voorhees, (Betsy Palmer). And the scenes from the first three movies. Then the movie's credits begin on the screen.
