	Movies - Friday the 13th Part 3

Friday the 13th Part 3: 3D is the second sequel to Friday the 13th
. The movie made horror film history by being the first film to feature Jason Voorhees donning the hockey mask that has since become synonymous with the character and his image. The film was released theatrically in 3-D, but the 3-D version is now available only in Japan on VHD disc home video. Grossing $36.2 million.

Plot summary

Picking up almost directly where Part 2
left off, Jason escapes to a nearby lake resort named Higgins Haven to rest from his wounds. At this time, Chris Higgins returns to the property with some friends after she was attacked by a mysterious disfigured stranger two years earlier. While Chris tries to swallow her fear of past events, an unmasked and reclusive Jason kills anyone who wanders into the barn in which he is hiding. But once he finds a means to cover his hideous face, he wanders out to hunt again.

Trivia

At one point, the character of Debbie picks of a copy of Fangoria and turns to an article on Tom Savini
who provided the make-up and effects for the original Friday the 13th and would return for the film's follow-up, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
.
Excluding the footage from Part 2, this is the only Friday the 13th film in which a character does not say Jason's name.
An infamous alternate ending depicted Jason actually decapitating Chris. It seems, however, that this ending may not have actually been filmed, featured only in behind-the-scenes photos and in at least one of the two novelizations.
Another alternate ending had Ali surviving; Chris opens the door to find Jason, but is scared by Ali. They both get away. Soon after, the paramedics arrive, only to never find Jason's body.
Cut to avoid an "X" rating from the MPAA:
*The death scene of Andy showed his right leg and stomach being cut apart.
*Vera's death was longer, it included more blood and a shot of her reaction. It was cut because the board said that it looked too real.
