10 Smartest Decisions Made By Final Girls In Horror Movies
4. Being Mrs. Voorhees - Friday The 13th Part II
Friday the 13th Part II was the first in the series to have Jason Voorhees as the killer. Having seen her young son drown, Jason's mother Pamela killed anyone who tried to open Camp Crystal Lake again. That is until the events of the first film, where Mrs. Voorhees was beheaded by final girl Alice. Little did Alice know that Jason had witnessed his mother's demise. He later retrieved his mom's head and placed it on a makeshift shrine, complete with her sweater.
In the sequel, new final girl Ginny Field is a camp counsellor. Having some expertise in psychology, she ponders on the mental damage that Jason must have experienced upon seeing his mother's death.
As the picture draws to a close, Ginny finds herself cornered by the masked killer inside Jason's hideout. There, she discovers Mrs. Voorhees' remains and decides to put on the aforementioned sweater. She does this in order to impersonate Jason's mother.
Since Jason isn't very smart, this ruse works for a while. As Ginny starts to speak, Jason sees the image of his mother talking to him, and her decision manages to put Voorhees in a vulnerable spot.
