Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia(at around 35 mins) The strange dance which Jimbo performs at the party was contributed by actor Crispin Glover and was based on the eccentric way he actually danced in clubs. On the set he was dancing to "Back in Black" by AC/DC as the scene was filmed. In the film however an edited version of "Love Is a Lie" by Lion was dubbed into the scene.
- GoofsIn Friday the 13th: Part 3 (1982), Jason was stabbed in the leg and his hand, yet in 'Part IV' (which takes place the next day), there is no blood stain nor cut in his trousers or his leg, and no wound on his hand.
- Crazy creditsIn the opening credits, Jason's hockey mask appears and moves towards the screen. Letters proclaiming 'Friday the 13th' appear on it. Letters proclaiming 'The Final Chapter' swing down, crash into the mask, causing it to explode, and reveal the rest of the title.
- Alternate versionsGerman version was heavily cut to avoid being banned like part three (which was uncut) but became banned nevertheless. Only in 2017 the banishment was lifted.

Featured review
Strongly recommend this movie. The rewatch value is tremendous.
Friday the 13th Final Chapter (1984) I recently watched from my personal collection. In this story Jason returns from the morgue to a new group of campers and a family with a unique son. This movie is directed by Joseph Zito (Red Scorpion and The Prowler) and is one of my favorite Friday the 13th movies. It stars legends Corey Feldman (Gremlins), Crispin Glover (Back to the Future), Judie Arson (Weird Science), Peter Barton (Hell Night) and Kimberly Beck (Independence Day. The storyline for this one was so fun. Adding the spooky kid who loved horror films and horror props that could carry the torche was a great direction. Kill scenes, specifically the hacksaw and throw out the window scenes, were awesome kills to add to the slasher museum. Strongly recommend this movie. The rewatch value is tremendous. I'd actually give this a 7/10. The Crispin Glover dance scene is legendary.
