10 Horror Movie Characters Who Died (But Survived The Remake)

4. Alice Hardy - Friday The 13th

Played by Adrienne King, Alice Hardy is famously the 'final girl' of the original Friday the 13th, and she's also the first person we see killed by Jason Voorhees - with Jason offing Alice in the opening minutes of Friday the 13th Part 2.

While the first iteration of Alice ends up dead, the timeline of the 2009 Friday the 13th remake seemingly still has Alice alive.

In the original picture, Alice beheads Pamela Voorhees before then being hunted down and killed by Jason. In the '09 picture, we see a flashback sequence where Alice again lops off Pam's head, but we don't actually see our hero killed.

Sure, it may be speculative thinking, but one has to imagine if the remake's Jason had indeed stalked and killed Alice in an act of revenge, that would've likewise been detailed in the redo's grainy flashbacks as a way to add further to the lore of Camp Crystal Lake's most infamous son.

Using that thought process, there's an extremely good chance that Alice Hardy is still out there somewhere in the timeline of Marcus Nispel's reboot.
