We were never supposed to take it seriously, though. It has passed into extreme cliche at this point, but back in 1980 audiences were genuinely surprised/thrilled by the infamous dream sequence ending of Friday the 13th featuring the sole survivor, Alice (Adrienne King), being suddenly attacked by a zombified Jason rising from beneath Crystal Lake. Friday the 13th almost became an anthology series because Jason was supposed to be dead What more story was there to tell? Well, there was an obvious choice it just didn’t make a lick of sense. But, wait, other than Alice everyone was dead at the end of Part 1, including the killer. So, they rushed Part 2 into production 4 months after the release of Part 1. Paramount Pictures wanted a sequel out as soon as possible. Today, it’s time for Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981), aka, the one where Jason is the killer for the first time but covers his face with a pillow case instead of a hockey maskįriday the 13th cost less than $1 million to produce and ended up grossing $39 million domestically, which would be like grossing $123 million at 2014 ticket prices.
