31 Days of Horror: Ranking the Kills - Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives

I took a break from the carnage for a few days, but now I'm back at it. I have to because, well, Jason lives. Ba-doom-psh!

Now that you understand why I don't do stand-up, let's just get to dead teenagers...and even some grown folks! 18 people in all, but due to some multiples and two off-screen kills, we're ranking 13 slots.

#13

Martin

Jason breaks a bottle and shoves it in Martin's throat. Unfortunately, we don't get to see it.

#12

Steven and Annette

These two lovebirds get simultaneously impaled while getting on a motorcycle to escape. Again, nothing is seen.

#11

Stan, Katie, and Larry

A series first 3-for-1 group decapitation should rate much higher, but again, the MPAA did the real hacking and we don't see much.

#10

Officer Thornton

Jason once again proves that his aim is impeccable and throws a dart into Officer Thornton's forehead.

#9

Darren

He gets a spear through the gut, then lifted and tossed aside like trash.

#8

Cort

Our guy Cort takes a giant knife through the side of the head...while driving. Of course, crash ensues, resulting in arguably the most awesome shot of Jason in the entire series.


#7

Officer Pappas

Jason takes this guy's head and crushes it between his bare hands. We don't see much, but it sounds really, REALLY painful.

#6

Burt

Fans either really love this kill, or really hate it. The action of it is great. Jason rips Burt's arm off and flings him into a tree face first. The debate comes in because when Burt slides away from the tree we see that he's left an impression of a smiley face. Sigh. Jason redeems it a bit when we cut to him holding up the severed arm. 

#5

Lizbeth

This poor girl takes a spear to the mouth, then is held down by this spear in a muddy puddle until she drowns. Yeesh. Fun fact, the credit card we see floating away from her hand says "American Excess." Who says this franchise has nothing to say.

#4


Sissy

Our hero, Jason, yanks Sissy out of a window and throws her to the ground. He then turns her head enough to twist it off, and throw it away.

#3

Nikki

While putting together this post, I realized how much head trauma was in this installment. Here, Nikki gets her noggin shoved through the side of an RV from the inside, resulting in a much better visual than Burt's face.

#2

Allen

A rarity in the franchise, a maskless Jason does the deed. He punches completely through Allen's chest, grabbing his heart in the process. 

#1

Sheriff Garris

The sheriff was actually giving Jason the business. Unfortunately, human strength doesn't match whatever Jason is strength and the sheriff gets folded in half the wrong way.

  1. I think Sissy's death is my favorite though props to Sheriff Garris for trying only to be killed like that. Damn...
