After a long four year break, Jason Voorhees, (Kane Hodder), returns home to Camp Crystal Lake thanks to producer Sean S. Cunningham, different writers, and director Adam Marcus, to reclaim his throne as "The King of Horror", "Jason goes to Hell: The Final Friday", (1993).
***
The film begins with Jason Voorhees being hunted by the FBI who track him down at the campgrounds, and shoot him dead in a hail of gunfire. As his body 'dies', everyone in town thinks the terror is over. In a move that's similar to the 1987 science fiction thriller 'The Hidden', (Jack Sholder), "A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge"; "Alone in the Dark", 1982; and editor of "The Burning", (Tony Maylam, 1981), Jason 'body hops', through various people, until he returns from the dead.

The new campers arrive at Camp Crystal Lake thinking Jason's dead: Josh, (Andrew Bloch); Ward, (Adam Cranner); Joey B. (Rusty Schwimmer); and Vickie, (Allison Smith). Like in the early "Friday the 13th" movies, they make out, and have fun. But, as they do so, Jason attacks them...and the horror resumes.

The New York campers aren't prepared for Cropsy the garden shears killing murderer...(Tony Maylam's The Burning, 1981)-the movie that launched Miramax. After the success of "Friday the 13th", Sean S. Cunningham, 1980), there were other clones...especially 'Madman', Joe Giannone, 1982...and other camp-themed horror movies.
***
In the early 1980's, campfire horror movies was the norm. By the 1990's, a decade later, teenagers were now in their twenties, and had grown up. Scene from "Madman", (filmed in 1980, 1981, but wasn't released until 1982 because of "The Burning", 1981).
