10 Most Powerful Horror Movie Villains
8. Jason Voorhees - Friday the 13th
Even though Jason Voorhees has always been intimidating, he wasn't unstoppable at first. When he was impaled through the face with a machete in Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter, it really looked like he was gone for good.
But everything changed in Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives when his corpse was struck by lightning, turning him into a powerhouse zombie. After being reborn, the first thing the hockey mask-wearing maniac did was punch a hole through a man's chest, showcasing this is not the same Jason as before.
As a revenant, Jason is endowed with inhumane strength and durability, making him borderline unkillable. Although slashers love a good fake-out, Jason seems to die at least three or four times in each instalment before he actually kicks the bucket.
Sadly, there doesn't seem to be any real way to keep Jason down once and for all. Whether he's melted into mush or cast into hell, the machete-chopping mad man is back in the next film no worse for wear. Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday opens with the titular ghoul being blown to pieces and yet, he's back to slaughtering his victims moments later.
