10 EXACT Moments Horror Movies Self-Destructed

Released in 1993, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday is infamously the Friday the 13th movie which features an extremely minimal amount of Jason Voorhees in his physical form. And upon audiences realising that, the film became utterly unappealing to the masses.

Directed by an Adam Marcus who was just 23 years of age at the time of the film's release, The Final Friday - which was written in four days - opens in typical Friday the 13th fashion. There's a cabin in the woods, complete with a pretty young woman inside, and the presence of Jason lurking nearby. As Voorhees moves to add yet another victim to his extensive list of kills, this whole situation is shown to be a total ruse.

Rather than the meek and mild victim horror hounds had come to expect from this female figure, she's actually an FBI agent and this was all a setup for the FBI and a SWAT team to blow Jason to a thousand pieces. Reduced to a pile of dismembered body parts, there was no way that Jason Voorhees wouldn't rise again, right? After all, it'd be sheer stupidity to kill off the franchise lead after barely ten minutes of the movie...

For those intrigued by how Jason would be reassembled to embark on another murder spree, the shocking answer was that he wouldn't be. After about the 15-minute mark, we see a coroner eat the beating heart of Crystal Lake's most notorious son... and it becomes apparent that Jason Goes to Hell would instead see the spirit of Jason being passed from person to person, rather than giving us a movie with the physical form of Voorhees being at the centre of the action.
