Top 12 Most Brutal Jason Voorhees Kills That Shook Us All – Friday The 13th Kills Explored!

While the horror industry, especially the slasher sub-genre, has seen many of these franchises over the years, the Friday the 13th series stands out and shines through in terms of a violent serial killer and his grisly victims. Slasher films are recognised for their brutal murders.

The perpetrator of the killings is none other than Jason Voorhees, a masked serial killer who employs a number of well-known murdering techniques but consistently finds inventive new ways to murder people. In 1980’s Friday the 13th, Jason made his film debut.

Since then, he has featured in eleven further films, killing an increasing number of victims. He has murdered more than 200 individuals, some of whom are visible on film and some of whom are not.

In this video, Jason Voorhees describes his 12 most violent killings, which range from using his trademark blade to submerging a victim in liquid nitrogen. These murders primarily occur in and around Springwood, Ohio, and include teens, camp staff, and deputies. So put the popcorn away as we explore some of the most horrific killings in the annals of slasher film. Shall we get started?

Adrienne Hart: Face frozen with liquid nitrogen and destroyed on a counter [ Jason X (2002)]

Even though this scene lasts for less than 120 seconds, the experience is immensely upsetting because you hardly have time to take it all in. Adrienne Thomas-Hart is a character played by Kristi Angus who works as an intern at New Harvard University on Earth II. Adrienne works as Prof. Braithwaite Lowe’s assistant. Despite the warnings, Adrienne will be responsible for dissecting Jason’s body.

She is still working when she notices Jason’s body has vanished, and she hardly has time to react before he grabs her by the face and throws her against the wall. She tries to scream for help, but much to her dismay, no one hears her. He drags her to the table as he holds her head above a tub of liquid nitrogen. Adrienne continues to scream for help before he dunks her face into the tub, freezing it immediately.

Now, one might think this is where it ends, but it isn’t long before Jason slams her face into the counter as it shatters into pieces. He leaves her lifeless body on the floor, which is discovered later. Despite being one of the lesser-loved films of the franchise, Jason maintained his style while he committed the murders.

Trapped upside-down in a sleeping bag and roasted to death over a campfire [Friday the 13th (2009)]

Although the film opens in the year 1980, this brutal death takes place 29 years later. Five teenagers, including Wade, Whitney, Richie, Amanda, and Mike, are hiking through the woods, trying to find a plot of marijuana. They eventually set up camp there, and Wade tells them the story about Jason Voorhees, and everyone is quick to brush it off as they go their separate ways to spend the night, and this is when the terror strikes.

Soon, Wade discovers the plot of marijuana, but seconds later, he is confronted by Jason Voorhees, who is wearing a burlap sack over his face. Jason murders Wade by slashing his face with a machete. Richie and Amanda have their private moment interrupted when Amanda thinks someone is watching them.

Richie goes outside to check and he finds Wade’s body. Moreover, his failed attempt to warn Amanda leads to Jason breaking into their tent and dragging Amanda out, who is still in the sleeping bag. She is hung over the bonfire, soon catching fire as she is burned alive, and Richie watches this scene in pure shock and horror. Jason then proceeds to kill Mike and Richie and kidnaps Whitney because of her resemblance to Pamela Voorhees, Jason’s mother.

Julius Gaw: Decapitated with a single punch. [Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)]

The build-up and anticipation that this scene brings to the audience are probably what makes it one of the most brutal deaths. It isn’t very often that we see a victim of Jason Voorhees put up a fight, but Julius Gaw truly tried his level best. Julius Samuel Gaw was a student graduating from Lakeview High School.

While on the cruise to New York City, Julius hears about the possibility of Jason being on the same ship as them and decides to gather some students to hunt him down. Although he does come face to face with Jason, he makes it out alive. It isn’t until after they reach New York when Julius is confronted by him again, only this time, Julius has nowhere to go, and so he puts up the fight of his life, throwing punches on Jason’s covered face and torso until they reach the edge.

Julius has exhausted himself beyond a point of recovery, breathless with bleeding knuckles, and this is when Jason takes a moment before he throws one single punch, decapitating Julius’s head from his body, which is then later found by the police. Julius was Jason’s 82^nd victim.

Mark Jarvis: Struck in the face with the panga machete. [“Friday the 13th Part 2” (1981)]

An eerie atmosphere paired with a thunderstorm, a serial killer on the loose, and a disabled man who can’t possibly fend for himself truly is a recipe for a brutal murder. Former athlete Mark Jarvis, portrayed by Tom McBride, is a young man who is bound to a wheelchair after a motorcycle accident. He volunteers along with several others to attend the counselor training center at Packanack Lodge near Crystal Lake. A

lthough commonly, one can’t predict a Jason Voorhees murder, this one is just a little more shocking. As the rain begins to pour heavily, Mark ventures out on his wheelchair, thinking someone is out there. The audience patiently anticipates, probably guessing Jason Voorhees to attack Mark from behind, which is why it’s shocking when he is attacked right in the middle of his face with a panga machete.

His wheelchair moves backward because of the force and topples down a flight of stairs. Later, his body, along with a few others, were found by the police and taken to the morgue. Mark was officially Jason’s second victim who died because of his signature machete. He was also Jason’s first and last disabled victim.

Trey Cooper: Stabbed 10 times with a machete and folded in half in bed. [Freddy vs. Jason (2003)]

Trey Cooper was born somewhere around the year 1985 and is a young man from Springwood, Ohio. To put it in the simplest of ways, he wasn’t a very nice guy. He fell into the stereotype jerk category that we so often see in the horror genre, especially slasher films.

He was mean and, most times, outright cruel with the complete intention of being this way. On a rainy night, Trey, along with his best friend Blake Mueller, decided to crash a gathering at Lori Campbell’s house, which included his girlfriend, Gibb Smith. Trey and Gibb decided to make the most of this opportunity and make love in one of the bedrooms. They had to light candles when the power went out, and once they were done, Gibb went in for a shower when Jason Voorhees entered the house and made his way to the bedroom.

Unaware of the presence, Trey was still on the bed, lying on his stomach with a beer in his hand. This was when Jason stabbed him in the back with a machete, ten times before pulling each end of the bed inwards, folding his body and snapping his spine in half.

Rick Bombay: Head crushed which causes his left eye to pop [Friday the 13th Part III” (1982)]

Rick Bombay was portrayed by Paul Kratka and played the role of a country boy who was Christine Higgins’s boyfriend. Although Rick’s death wasn’t as gruesome or bloody as the ones we have witnessed so far, it surely is one of the more brutal ones, the kind that makes you scrunch your nose in disgust and look away.

Sometime before his death, Christine had told him about why she came back to Higgins Haven, and it had to do with her encounter with a hideously deformed man who attacked her. Later, Christine and Rick part ways for just a moment as Rick goes outside, where he was quietly attacked from behind by none other than Jason Voorhees. Christine comes outside to try and figure out what happened, but our poor guy’s mouth is covered, unable to scream for help.

As soon as she goes back inside, Jason takes this opportunity to crush Rick’s head, which results in his left eye popping out of the socket. Soon after, Christine discovers his dead body and attempts to revive him but fails. This is one of Jason Voorhees’s most brutal kills because we see just how easily he crushes his head, with no machete, no ax, no liquid nitrogen, just his bare hands.

Sissy Baker: Defenestrated and head twisted off [Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives” (1986)]

Bad things always seem to happen when movies take place at a summer camp, and unfortunately for Sissy Baker, this horror trope is no exception. Sissy, portrayed by Renée Jones, is a counselor at Camp Crystal Lake who jokes that she would rather deal with Jason Voorhees than the children at camp. It seems Sissy never heard of being careful with what you wish for because what follows is most certainly gruesome and nightmare-inducing.

When a frightened camper comes to her in the middle of the night, Sissy assures her there is nothing to be afraid of, but the audience knows that simply isn’t true. Afterward, Sissy hears a noise at her window and wanders over, only to be grabbed by the shoulders and pulled straight out of the window by Jason. Her screams go unnoticed by the other counselors because she is silenced rather quickly.

Sissy sees things from a new point of view – backward – when Jason twists her head around and then rips it off, leaving her body twitching as it falls to the ground. Originally Sissy’s death was meant to happen off-screen, which would have robbed the viewers of one of the most brutal Jason Voorhees murders.

Daniel Carter: Punched through the chest and neck snapped. [Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood]

When Dan Carter and his girlfriend Judy Williams, portrayed by Michael Schroeder and Debora Kessler, respectively, decide to go camping together near Crystal Lake, they certainly do not expect their trip to end so abruptly. Judy repeatedly asks Dan to fetch some more firewood since the night is only going to get colder, but in response, Dan comes on to her, saying, “Let me heat you.”

Annoyed, Judy returns to the tent, and Dan finally grabs his machete and goes off to cut more wood for the campfire. While Judy gets undressed and ready for bed, Dan wanders alone in the dark, cutting more firewood. As is usually the case in these films, Dan makes the mistake of being unaware of his surroundings.

He carries the firewood back toward the tent, but Jason comes up behind him and punches his fist directly through his chest, simultaneously using his other hand to snap his neck. Jason takes Dan’s machete and makes his way back to the tent where Judy is waiting, unaware that Jason is outside and not Dan, which doesn’t end well for Judy.

Charles McCulloch: Garbage Can Drowning [Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan” (1989)]

In this Friday the 13th sequel, one of Jason’s victims is Charles McCulloch, a high school biology teacher, and the abusive uncle of Rennie Wickham. He is also chaperoning a senior class trip. The trip is a cruise to New York City aboard the SS Lazarus, and as is to be expected, Jason murders several students aboard the ship.

McCulloch is one of the few to escape, alongside his niece Rennie, her boyfriend Sean, and English teacher Colleen Van Deusen. They row the rest of the way to New York City in a lifeboat, but Jason follows them, stalking them through the streets. When Jason catches up to him, McCulloch attempts to hide, running into some sort of building.

It takes only a moment for Jason to throw McCulloch out the window, and before he can get up off the ground, Jason drags him over to a barrel of toxic waste. He forces him into the barrel, face-down, and drowns him, leaving his body there once he stops moving. Charles is also one of the two secondary antagonists of this film, and Jason’s 49^th victim.

Scott Stubbs: Electrocuted with a console through machete [Freddy vs Jason (2003)]

Deputy Scott Stubbs, portrayed by Lochlyn Munro, is a law-enforcement officer at Springwood County Sheriff’s Department in Springwood, Ohio. He was fairly new to the department, having worked there for only a month before he got assigned one of his first big murder cases.

This incident took place after the death of Trey Cooper and several other teenagers. Stubbs had an inkling that Jason Voorhees, or perhaps a copycat, was responsible for these murders. Later Stubbs found himself at the Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital along with the others, including Jason Voorhees. Eventually, Jason swung his signature machete at Stubbs when they were in the security station, which Stubbs managed to dodge.

However, the machete hit the computer panel, sending an electric current into Jason’s body. He took this opportunity and grabbed Stubbs, acting as a conductor, electrocuting Stubbs until he was dead. However, Jason wasn’t entirely done as he threw Stubbs’s body through a glass window. Freddy vs Jason is a slasher film that had a very high count of murders by Jason; however, the death of Scott Stubbs was one of the more brutal ones.

Dancefloor Kill [Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)]

Eva Watanabe was a sweet, bubbly, and kind student who attended Lakeview Highschool and was a part of the group which took the cruise to New York City. Her death, much like the others was an unfortunate one, and inevitable, but one must wonder if she could have bought herself some more time, delaying her death at the hands of Jason Voorhees. The incident takes place after Eva finds Tamara Mason’s dead body in their shared cabin bathroom.

She bolts immediately, running to the ship’s hallway when she sees the masked killer Jason Voorhees standing there like a predator ready to kill. She runs up the stairs and finds herself on the dance floor, with disco lights that almost cause an effect that keeps her feet grounded, and that is when Jason bursts open the door.

He waits, he stands still for a moment, giving her time to run around and try and open the doors, but all her attempts are futile when she realizes she is locked in with a serial killer. For a very brief moment, she thinks he’s gone, but he appears soon enough, grabbing her by the neck as he lifts her from the ground, choking her to death.

Jimmy Mortimer: Pinned in hand with a corkscrew and struck in the face with a meat cleaver. [Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter” (1984)]

Jimbo “Jimmy” Mortimer is portrayed by Crispin Glover and is one of the teenagers who rented the summer house on the Camp Crystal Lake grounds in the year 1984. Jimmy joins his friends on this trip after an upsetting breakup with his girlfriend Betty and is completely unaware of the fact that the brutal serial killer, Jason Voorhees, is on the loose.

They invite two girls over to join them at the summer house, and Jimmy hits it off with one of them and goes to gloat about it to his friend, Ted, and opens a bottle of wine to celebrate his success. He heads to the kitchen to try and find the corkscrew when Jason Voorhees appears from the shadows, slamming it into Jimmy’s hand as he screams in pain, blood oozing.

Jimmy barely has any time to register what has happened before Jason hits him in the face with a meat cleaver. His body is later found crucified at the back entrance by Trish Jarvis, and later, Jason simply walks through the back door, tearing Jimmy’s body down. This death is just another proof of how Jason is, that even after killing his victim, he doesn’t let their dead bodies simply rest in peace.
