10 Horror Movies Remembered For One Amazing Scene

10. Sleeping Bag Kill - Friday The 13th Part VII: The New Blood

To the surprise of no one, Friday the 13th: Part VII has Jason Voorhees roaming Crystal Lake and slaying horny teenagers. It's certainly not an inventive premise but this sequel probably has the best death in the entire series.

After Jason stumbles upon Judy resting in her sleeping bag, he lunges for her. Instead of trying to escape or doing anything pragmatic, Judy tucks herself in her bag... as if that will somehow protect her against a reanimated killing machine. After dragging the sleeping bag across the woods with Judy still inside, Jason hurls it against a tree trunk, killing her instantly.

This scene is memorable because it's hilarious AND terrifying. The scene stays with viewers since the visual of a masked zombie tossing a sleeping bad into a tree is, in itself, absolutely ridiculous, even by this goofy franchise's standards.

Interestingly, the original cut was meant to show Jason whacking Judy into the trunk six times. But by cutting the shot so Jason killed her with one swing, it makes the scene scarier because it demonstrates how inhumanly strong Jason is.

Funnily enough though this scene became so iconic it was reused for comedic effect in Jason X, with a few more whacks for good measure.
