Friday the 13th Part II-Part IV

***


Friday the 13th Part II was released a year after Sean S. Cunningham's original movie, that set it apart from its rival horror movie series 'Halloween', 1978, (directed by John Carpenter), which was about Michael Myers, the masked killer. By 1981, 'Halloween II', (directed by Rick Rosenthal), was set in a hospital; the first 'Friday the 13th' sequel was set at a camp. The last part of the movie is about Ginny pondering about Jason Voorhees. Paul shakes his head; Ted then sees a waitress he likes and spends the night with her while Paul and Ginny drive back to the counsellor training camp.

The camp is in darkness.
Ginny senses someone is there.
When Paul is attacked by Jason, he collapses to the ground, leaving Ginny alone to fight Jason. She runs away from the camp, and sees the old shack in which she sees the altar to Pamela Sue Voorhees, (Betsy Palmer); she then sees Jason running towards her. As he grabs a weapon in his hands, she uses her psychology skills to pretend to be the killer's mother. But, when he 'sees' his real mother, he injures Ginny. She then brings a machete downward, knocking him unconscious. Paul recovers. He shouts: "Ginny!", and he removes the white sack with his hands, and adds: "Jesus!". Before they leave, Jason, (this time played by Warrington Gillette), attacks Ginny as she's near the window in the 'jump scare' for the viewer. She picks up a pitch fork in her hands, as Paul opens the door...and Muffin the dog is found alive.

'Friday the 13th Part II' ends with the disappearance of Paul, as Ginny is taken to Crystal Lake Hospital. Then we see Pamela Sue Voorhees on the altar, setting up for yet another sequel.
