Case File 040: Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th Part 3)

July 14, 2021 / Christopher Schrader

It just wouldn't be summer without a trip to Crystal Lake to see what our old pal Jason's been up to. On this episode, we're continuing our investigation into the Friday the 13th franchise and taking a look at one if its most seminal entries.

Topics include: the much different premise they almost went with and how it might have set this series off down a very different path, why the decision to shoot this one in 3D resulted in an extremely complicated production, conflicting stories about who deserves credit for giving Jason his signature look, the key ways in which Part 3 deviates from its predecessors, the studio's love/hate relationship with the success of this franchise, and more!
