10 Slasher Horror Movie Openings That Get Worse The More You Think About It

10. A Creepy Mortician - Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter went ahead and wrapped up the F13 franchise at four movies, with Jason Voorhees killed off after being brutally bludgeoned to death by young Tommy Jarvis (Corey Feldman). And with that, the Friday the 13th series sailed off into the horror sunset, never to be seen again...

Of course, The Final Chapter - much like Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare - was anything but final, with the franchise delivering a further six movies, a remake, and a crossover with Freddy Krueger.

While the ending of The Final Chapter has been addressed, it's the beginning that's likewise a rather disturbing scene. Having picked up the action directly after the events of Friday the 13th Part III - where Jason was left with an axe in his head - this fourth film had the supposedly dead body of Voorhees transported to the morgue.

It's here that we're introduced to coroner Axel Burns, who's tasked with performing an autopsy on Jason. Unfortunately, he's also a total horned-up prick who's more bothered about trying to hook up with Robbie Morgan, one of the building's nurses.

Given the slimeball behaviour of Axel, this clearly isn't the first time that he's tried to have sex in the hospital morgue. Similarly, his creepy persona suggests it's not just Robbie who he's likely to have wooed into getting down and dirty with in amongst the dead bodies of the facility.
