Friday the 13th Part II-Part III

***


Paul Holt, (John Furey), is the twenty-five year old head camp counsellor. Holt, who was friends with Steve Christy, (Peter Brouwer), plays at the legend of Jason Voorhees and his dead mother, Pamela, during the epic re-telling during the campfire, early on in the movie. Ginny, (a psychology major), scoffs at the story, as Ted provides the scares as he wears a Native American dress, and holding a spear...which is stolen by Jason Voorhees unknown to everyone else who stays on at the camp...

Sandra convinces Jeff to head to Camp Crystal Lake, ignoring the warnings by Paul Holt, whose girlfriend, Ginny, heads to the camp in her own car. After a comedic scene in which the exhaust pipe shoots muck in Paul's face, the levity in the movie ends...and the terror starts all over again. Sandra sees a dead dog in the woods. Seconds later a Crystal Lake police officer, (Jack Marks), tells them off for trespassing. When he tells Paul and Ginny, they give them a warning. The officer then sees a figure running in the woods. He runs as fast as he can through the puddles. And sharp branches. Then he sees a dilapidated iron shack. He then opens the door, and searches the home of Pamela and Jason Voorhees. Jason then attacks him, and he dies instantly.

The other campers are Mark, (Tom McBride)-who is in a wheelchair; Vickie, (Lauren-Marie Taylor); Scott, (Russell Todd); and Terry, (Kirsten Baker), who has a pet dog named Muffin. Like the first movie, Scott plays pranks at the campgrounds, while Muffin has an encounter with Jason Voorhees-then disappears until near the end of the movie. Mirroring the first movie in which Steve Christy went to town to get supplies in town and eating dinner at the Diner, Paul, Ginny, and Ted, head to town and have dinner and listen to a blues band...while the campers are stalked by Jason Voorhees. When Crazy Ralph is attacked by Jason, (after seeing Paul and Ginny kiss earlier on in the film), Jason who is wearing a sack on his head, kills Jeff and Sandra as they make out. Then Mark is attacked after he waits for Vickie. It is Vickie who opens the door and sees her friends dead. Jason kills her, and the horror of Friday the 13th claims more victims.
