The alternate ending for Friday the 13th's third installment would have been far more unforgiving than what audiences ultimately got.
The Big Picture While the original Friday the 13th film from 1980 inspired one of the most profitable and popular horror franchises of all-time, it’s not a particularly good movie. Compared to franchises like Halloween or A Nightmare On Elm Street, the Friday the 13th series didn’t really find its footing until it was already a few installments in.
The issue that the first two Friday the 13th films had was the lack of empathy that they showed to the teenage characters that were in peril. The counselors that Jason picks off one-by-one were generally obnoxious, and thus the audience had no reason to empathize with them. The Friday the 13th series had yet to create a truly iconic “final girl” like Halloween’s Laurie Strode or A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Nancy Thompson . However, this changed with the introduction of Chris.
Although Friday the 13th Part III hints at Jason’s inevitable return in a future installment through a dream sequence during the ending, where Chris imagines Jason has returned , the film established the precedent that, perhaps, some of the heroes would live to fight another day. However, a very dark alternate ending revealed by Bloody Disgusting presented a much different way that things could have gone down.
