Friday the 13th Part II (1981), written by Ron Kurz taking over from Victor Miller, begins with a long twelve minute prologue in which Alice Hardy, (Adrienne King), is still struggling with her ordeal in the first movie. As she dreams of the flashbacks, a little girl skips in a deep puddle saying: "Incy wincy spider...", as Jason Voorhees, (Steve Dash), who is grown up, somehow finds her house near Camp Crystal Lake; Jason then heads through an open back door. Alice then sees a cat that jumps at her through an open window; the cat is one scare in a busy ten minutes or so. She hears her telephone ring; she tells her mother she's trying to repair herself while she draws...and experiences flashbacks of Camp Crystal Lake.
Alice is then seen in the kitchen. She then is attacked by Jason with an ice pick...and the horror of the sequel begins on the screen.

The movie then cuts to "FIVE YEARS LATER"...It seems the events of the previous movie would be set in 1976; Sean S. Cunningham's movie is set in 1979 to early 1980! Director and Producer Steve Miner made his directing debut with "Friday the 13th Part II)...Miner directed the Hospital scene at the end of "Friday the 13th"...The sequel begins with a teenage couple Jeff, (Bill Randolph), and his girlfriend Sandra, (Marta Kober), whose van is in the middle of town. As Jeff makes a phone call in the phone booth, (this is before I-phones and the Internet), a man drags the vehicle up the road in a prank; Jeff stops the call. Suddenly Ted, (Stu Charno), a red haired teenager laughs. Then the campers stop when they see a large log that hinders them in the middle of the road. Jeff and Sandra had earlier met Crazy Ralph, (Walt Gorney), who warns them they're doomed. He then rides his old bike around the corner...and away from the screen.
