Jason Lives is the Best Friday the 13th Sequel: Here's the Opening to Prove It

Everytime someone does a ranking of Friday the 13th sequels is wrong. The reason: I have never seen Part VI, Jason Lives, at the top.



Part II comes up a really close second but Jason Lives is the pinnacle of Jason Voorhees films. Jason is now a reanimated, unstoppable corpse, he does not tolerate backtalk or sarcasm (sorry Tony Goldwin), and he is as brutal as ever in 1986's Tom McLoughlin’s entry which has a great balance of laughs and scares.

Horror sequels should strive to Jason Lives' standards of character, gore, and charm.

Happy Friday the 13th!
