The Jalopy Journal: Legendary makeup artist Tom Savini , who worked on the original 1980 film, returned specifically to "kill" the monster he helped create.
Picking up immediately after the events of Part III, the story follows Jason Voorhees as he escapes from a hospital morgue after being presumed dead.
: Jason returns to the Crystal Lake area, where he targets two groups of neighbors: a family (the Jarvises) and a group of vacationing teenagers.
: The film features early performances by notable stars like Corey Feldman (Tommy Jarvis) and Crispin Glover (Jimmy), whose eccentric dance scene has become a cult favorite.
: Stuntman Ted White portrayed Jason. At 58, he was the oldest actor to play the role and famously refused to interact with the young cast to maintain a sense of genuine fear on set.
