10 Horror Movies That Pissed Off Audiences Straight Away

10. Jason Gets Destroyed (And Possesses People) - Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday

Though fans' expectations were well and truly through the floor by the time the ninth Friday the 13th film materialised, they nevertheless reasonably assumed that the title character would stick around for his "final" movie.

But instead, everybody's favourite machete-wielding maniac Jason Voorhees (Kane Hodder) is effectively disposed of just seven minutes into Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday, when the FBI springs a trap on Jason which results in his body being explosively obliterated.

If that's not frustrating enough, a few scenes later we learn how a Friday the 13th movie can exist without Jason's corporeal form: the coroner (Richard Gant) performing Jason's autopsy finds himself compelled to eat Jason's still-beating heart.

As a result, the coroner becomes possessed by Jason's spirit, and the majority of the movie involves Jason "living on" in the various human hosts he transports his soul between.

Aside from a few glimpses of Jason in reflections, we don't see the franchise's iconic character again in the flesh until the very end of the film, as ensured that Jason Goes to Hell "ended" the series on an infuriating damp squib.
