NOVA Horror Club Discussion: Friday the 13th Part VI - Jason Lives

NOTE: This is NOT a screening, please watch the movie before the discussion.

“Why’d they have to go and dig up Jason? Some folks sure got a strange idea of entertainment.”

Jason Voorhees is dead and buried. His reign of terror is well and truly over... to everyone except Tommy Jarvis. Plagued by nightmares and hallucinations, he embarks to the cemetery where he intends to annihilate Jason's corpse completely and ensure his permanent erasure. But in a shocking twist of fate, the opposite happens as Jason emerges from his grave, a revenant burning to resume his killing spree.

Leaning into classic monster-movie imagery and a sharper sense of humor, Jason Lives balances suspense, spectacle, and playful genre awareness. Widely regarded as one of the franchise’s strongest entries, the film marks the moment Jason transforms from a masked murderer into the unstoppable horror legend we know today.
