Plot: In 1957, at Camp Crystal Lake, young Jason Voorhees drowned. In 1958, two camp counselors were murdered. In 1962, fires and bad water thwarted the camp's reopening. Now, in 1980, Steve Christy finally reopens Camp Crystal Lake with the help of a few new counselors, ignoring the warnings of a crazy old man. The murders start up again while a mysterious stalker prowls the area. Is the killer seeking revenge? Who will survive the nightmare and live to tell the story?
Alternative Plot: Crystal Lake's history of murder doesn't deter counselors from setting up a summer camp in the woodsy area. Superstitious locals warn against it, but the fresh-faced young people -- Jack (Kevin Bacon), Alice (Adrienne King), Bill (Harry Crosby), Marcie (Jeannine Taylor) and Ned (Mark Nelson) -- pay little heed to the old-timers. Then they find themselves stalked by a brutal killer. As they're slashed, shot and stabbed, the counselors struggle to stay alive against a merciless opponent.
