Plot summary

Jason gets his trademark hockey mask

Picking up almost directly where Part 2 left off, Jason survives his attack at the hands of Paul and Ginny, and migrates to a nearby store. Here he meets Harold and Edna, the owner and his wife, before getting a pair of khaki trousers and an olive dress shirt and killing the two of them. Jason then escapes to a nearby lake house called Higgins Haven to rest from his wounds. At this time, Chris Higgins (who was attacked by a mysterious, disfigured stranger in the woods near Crystal Lake two years earlier) returns to the property with some friends. While Chris tries to deal with her fear of past events, an unmasked and reclusive Jason kills anyone who wanders into the barn in which he is hiding and resting. Once he finds a means to cover his hideous face, he wanders out to hunt again. After all the others had been killed, Chris manages to stab, hang, and eventually put an axe in the psychotic Jason's head. After going out in a canoe, in a sequence mirroring the shock ending to "Friday the 13th" Mrs. Voorhees leaps out of the water to drag Chris into the lake. The film ends with Chris being taken out of the cabin by the Sheriff and his deputies however she is now beyond reasoning with which is understandable given the nightmare she had just been through.

Trivia

• An infamous alternate ending depicted Jason actually decapitating Chris in a dream sequence (as opposed to the dream sequence in the finished film featuring Mrs. Voorhees). There is some debate as to whether this ending was actually filmed (although it was definitely rehearsed), but it is featured in the 1982 novel by Michael Avallone which was based on the original shooting script. Some photos of the scene also appear in Peter Bracke's 2005 book, Crystal Lake Memories.

• The catchline for the movie was "A New Dimension in Terror" because of the film being in 3-D.

The Beheading of Cosmas and Damian, by Fra Angelico Decapitation (from Latin, caput, capitis, meaning head), or beheading, is the removal of a living organisms head. ...
