10 More Horror Movie Twists That Pissed Everyone Off

Despite genuine plans to bring the franchise to a close with Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter in 1984, the strong reception to that movie saw Paramount Pictures return just one year later with Friday the 13th: A New Beginning.

Here, we pick things up several years after The Final Chapter, with Tommy Jarvis - the boy who brutally butchered Jason Voorhees at the end of that fourth F13 movie - taking residence at a halfway house near Crystal Lake. Before you know it, this house of young adults find themselves stalked and terrorised by a familiar hockey mask-adorned killer, with the main question being whether Jason is somehow back from the dead or whether this murderous sort is actually the clearly troubled Tommy.

In a shock twist, it's revealed that the person behind the mask is Roy Burns, a paramedic whose son Joey was slaughtered in the film's opening moments. Pushed over the edge, Roy opted to slice 'n' dice his way through the teens of the day in ways inspired by the previous acts of Jason Voorhees.

To say audiences were pissed at this twist would be an understatement, with many feeling angrily duped at having paid to see Jason back in action, only to be given a Jason copycat. Even to this day, certain horror fans forever have a grudge against A New Beginning solely because of its Roy Burns twist.
