In 1986, there was Fred Walton's "April Fool's Day", starring Amy Steel from Steve Miner's "Friday the 13th Part II", (1981); Walton's debut movie, "When a stranger calls", (1979), starring Carole Kane, and Charles Durning, were about a killer on the loose on an Island doing pranks; while "Stranger", was about a babysitter who is terrorized by a killer inside the house...that is similar to the 1974 Canadian horror movie, "Black Christmas", that starred Margot Kidder...In 1987, there was Joel Schumacher's "The Lost Boys", (another teen vampire movie which wouldn't be made unless "Fright Night", was successful).

"Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood", written by Daryl Haney and Miguel Fidello, is described as "Jason versus Carrie", a reference to Stephen King's 1974 novel, (and Brian De Palma's 1976 horror movie that starred Sissy Spacek); Part VII was released only on VHS in Australia. Directed by John Carl Buechler, is begins with a girl named Tina Shepard, (Lar Park Lincoln), who is being treated by Doctor Crews, (Terry Kiser), as her mother, Amanda Shepard, (Susan Blu), wants her daughter to be well as she uses her powers in a safe environment. After a bad argument, she uses them to revive Jason Voorhees, (Kane Hodder), and he attacks her. He then heads to Camp Crystal Lake, as a new group of campers arrive on Friday the 13th like everyone else does...unaware of the imminent danger they're in.
