25 WTF Moments From Friday The 13th Films

7. The Toxic Waste Transformation - Friday The 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

Perhaps the weirdest ending to a F13 movie, Jason is stalking Rennie through the sewers of New York and is then ambushed with a bucket of conveniently placed toxic waste. It€™s easy enough to forgive the bucket being available for Rennie's disposal, but Jason writhing in pain and ripping his mask off of his face is just sad and outright laughable. It€™s also a bit of a kick to the face for fans.

For one, at this point, Jason is basically a zombie, why would he be in pain at all? And two, even human Jason never screamed like a little girl. Though, the most outrageous part of the ending is yet to come, as Jason, trying to grab at the feet of his would-be victims, realizes the toxic waste is flooding the sewer and udders the words, "Mommy, don't let me drown. Mommy!".

If that isn't enough to make fans bawl in agony, Jason then turns back into a little child and... that's the ending. What an inglorious conclusion to Jason taking over The Big Apple.
