This may have been the one that scare me most probably because Jason with that brown sack over his head with eye holes cut out is far creepier than the absurd hockey mask. Of course in the later films he's built like a tank and takes on the aura of something akin to the Terminator, making it a little hard to take seriously. But a crazy guy living in a shantytown shack in the woods with a shrine to his dead mother? And he wears a bag on his head? And he kills people? Man, that f---ed me up.

As bad as Friday the 13th is, it’s nothing compared to Friday the 13th Part II. Here’s a film that makes the
absolute minimum effort to present something new and different. It basically
recreates the same premise but sets it in a camp on the other side of Crystal
Lake: a group of young people preparing for a youth camp get killed on-by-one
by a stalking psycho lurking in the surrounding woods. The big difference is
that Jason is now the killer. We only learn that for certain at the end when
Ginny (Amy Steel) stumbles upon his lair complete with a creepy shrine
featuring his mother’s severed head.
