13 Things You Didn't Know About Friday The 13th Part 2

9. Ted Is The Only Friday The 13th Character To Survive Through Partying

Friday The 13th Part 2
Paramount Pictures

Almost every Friday The 13th movie has a prankster, or a comic relief character - it’s a slasher movie mainstay. In Friday The 13th Part 2, it's Ted, played by Stu Charno. He’s the guy that leaps out at the trainee camp counselors in a mask and loincloth during Paul’s Voorhees-inspired scare story. What a card.

In the middle of Part 2, Ted, Ginny, Paul and some others head into town to hit the bars: it’s the six left behind who form Jason’s circle of victims for the movie. Ironically, for a franchise famous for punishing decadent and immoral behaviour with gruesome death, Ted avoids the slaughter by getting wasted and chasing girls.

This is the only time this happens in the whole prudish franchise.
