10 Worst Times A Movie Character Returned From The Dead

10. Jason Voorhees - Friday The 13th Part VI: Jason Lives

This one might be slightly controversial, but the way in which Friday the 13th's hockey mask-wearing antagonist is revived from the dead is kinda rubbish.

In the fourth movie, erroneously labelled "The Final Chapter", Jason Voorhees is hacked to pieces by Tommy Jarvis. They think he comes back in the fifth movie, but it's actually an imposter. Thus, at the start of Jason Lives, Jason is dead.

However, as you can probably tell by the subtitle, that's not the case for long.

Driven mad by the idea that Jason could still be alive, Tommy visits his gravesite to destroy the body once and for all. In doing so, Jarvis rams a metal spike through the corpse just as a lightning bolt strikes it.

This burst of energy is enough to bring the killer back to life Frankenstein-style, setting in motion a brand-new killing spree.

Whilst it's nicely ironic that Tommy's fear of Jason being reborn is what actually brings him back, the way in which it happens is really silly.

The lightning striking the pole at the exact time it enters Jason's body is a bit too cartoonish and turns what could have been a really serious moment into a bit of a joke.
