7. Friday the 13th Part III
In Part III, the series really settles into its groove and becomes the Friday the 13th we know. It’s mostly the same sort of thing as the last one, again with a whole new set of teenagers except for Alice, who is killed off in the first scene. I always found that to be pretty frustrating when a character spends so much time fighting the killer and makes it to the end of the movie triumphant, only to be killed off in the very next movie.
Jason finally puts on the hockey mask this time around and instantly becomes one of the most visually distinctive horror characters ever. This one doesn't have a whole lot to the plot, just giving us another set of characters who go to the lake and get killed, but it's still a pretty fun sequel. What’s rough about watching this movie now is that it was originally filmed and released in 3D, coming out at the time when the 3D fad was back in full swing. The experience of watching it at home in 2D means a lot of watching people point things into the camera pointlessly, but that kind of gives the movie a goofy charm to it. Just check out these opening credits, with an awesomely cheesy theme song and the titles flying at the camera. It's total 80s horror goodness, and maybe the first example of the series just trying to be fun rather than scary.
