10 Horror Movie Moments Everyone Was Waiting For (That Never Happened)

11. No Jason - Friday The 13th Part V: A New Beginning

Let's be honest - we knew there was nothing final about Friday the 13th IV: The Final Chapter. Considering the follow-up, Friday the 13th V: A New Beginning, premiered less than a year later, it's apparent the filmmakers had no intention of canning this slasher saga.

But what about Jason Voorhees? Last time we saw him, he had a butcher knife rammed into his head before having his skull crushed. How could he return?

Well, it's not like this was the first time Jason's had been killed off, so many suspected he would shake it off before returning in Friday the 13th V. Despite the fact we never see Jason commit the murders until the end, viewers were certain the machete-wielding psychopath was behind it all. And when we saw the killer adorned with his iconic hockey mask in the climax, it seemingly proved Jason was back.

But after he dies, we learn this killer is a copycat, meaning that Jason is still very dead (at least for the time being). Because Jason never appears in A New Beginning, many die-hard fans felt like they were cheated, which is why this instalment is remembered with such disdain.
