20 TERRIBLE Horror Movies With INSANE Endings
16. Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday
It's not unfair to say that by its ninth entry, Friday the 13th was in full-on Franchise Zombie mode, because why else would the film take the bold, misguided swing of having Jason Voorhees' (Kane Hodder) spirit possess other people?
Even beyond the general lack of traditional Jason throughout the film, Jason Goes to Hell is an abject trainwreck - the alterations to Jason's mythology make no sense, the dialogue is terrible, and it for some reason takes itself dead-seriously.
But Jason Goes to Hell does get a few begrudging points for a final 15 seconds that made just about everyone watching perk up.
After Jason is indeed dragged to hell, his mask is left beyond and suddenly pulled into hell by the unmistakable clawed glove of one Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Considering horror fans had long been clamouring for a Freddy vs. Jason movie, this seemed to be an emphatic tease that it was definitely in the works.
And while Freddy vs. Jason did eventually happen, it didn't release until almost exactly 10 years to the day that Jason Goes to Hell came out.
