i guess i fooled you huh
sure chris leave him alone he doesn't
know any better it was a joke
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
worst decisions in the friday the 13th
franchise
pick your best shot
i don't want them frozen rowan i want
them soft
hi vic you get lost come on don't be
like that
for this list we're looking at ill-fated
choices made by characters in the friday
the 13th movies
since most of the poor decisions
mentioned in the list have drastic
consequences that affect the plot
of course there will be some spoilers
what do you think was the worst decision
made in these movies
let us know in the comments now on to a
top 10 that will reign supreme
in stupidity number 10
partying it up the friday the 13th
franchise
generally speaking you increase your
chances of surviving a horror movie
if you stay away from illicit substances
and hanky panky
and this is especially true in the
friday the 13th movies
we weren't doing anything we were just
messing with
there are countless examples of teens
meeting their maker because they engage
in these activities
jason actively seeks out kids who party
because his mother held a grudge against
a couple of teenagers who couldn't keep
it in their pants
hey you want a beer or do you want to
smoke some pot
these vices leave young people
distracted unaware of the danger that
lurks around them
ted hey ted where the hell's corkscrew
so if you're in crystal lake and want to
get past jason
it's best to not overindulge
number nine joey pestering vic friday
the 13th part five
a new beginning at a halfway house for
troubled teens joey decides to pay
fellow resident vic a visit while he's
chopping firewood
hi vic you get lost come on don't be
like that
i can't help you with the wood today vic
screams at joey to go away
but joey doesn't pick up on this obvious
social cue that
vic doesn't want his company leave me
alone
even after vic chops a candy bar in half
with an axe that joey left for him
showing clearly that he has anger
management issues joey keeps pushing vic
until he snaps and does the predictable
forget it vic
just forget it but i think you're really
out of line
the simple lesson here is never
aggravate someone who's in a bad mood
and carrying an axe number eight
charles pushing his niece into crystal
lake friday the 13th part eight
jason takes manhattan it's so pretty
today
yeah perfect day for swimming
in a flashback high school biology
teacher charles mcculloch committed this
horrible act against his niece
rennie as a misguided attempt to teach
her how to swim
[Music]
as a result renny repressed the memory
but had hallucinations related to it
years later when reni recovers the
memory of what her uncle did to her
she and her boyfriend abandoned him in
new york city that leaves him vulnerable
when he's hunted down by jason
coincidentally when jason dispatches
charles
he's submerged in a barrel of waste a
harsh dose of karma
number seven shelley constantly pranking
his friends
friday the 13th part three the reason
shelley plays these pranks is because he
has low self-esteem
and wants to be accepted by his peers
god damn it shirley why do you always
have to be such an [ __ ]
however this has the opposite effect as
it irritates his friends
and they think he's trying too hard
chris leave him alone he doesn't know
any better it was a joke
unfortunately shelley's hijinks lead to
tragic consequences
first it gets him killed when he's
attacked by jason
and a friend refuses to help thinking
it's another prank
[Laughter]
and then his friend vera is finished off
when she mistakes jason for shelley
who scared her while wearing a hockey
mask hey now cut that out right now
that's not
funny number six
darren deciding to confront jason friday
the 13th part
six jason lives told you we should have
left a trail of breadcrumbs
don't start on their way to camp
elizabeth and darren run into jason in
the middle of the woods
because i've seen enough horror movies
to know any weirdo wearing a mask is
never friendly
recognizing a threat when she sees one
elizabeth wants to back up their car
out of there but darren wants to scare
jason
when that doesn't work he pulls out a
gun from the glove compartment and
steps out of the car needless to say
that plan
fails and if i get him first things only
escalate from there
and if darren had just listened to
elizabeth they may have both survived
here's a tip for you if a creepy
stranger in a hockey mask and wielding a
fence post confronts you at night
just get out of there number five going
to crystal lake
despite its bloody history the friday
the 13th franchise
between the killing sprees of pamela
voorhees and her son
jason why would anyone visit or live in
crystal lake
a revenge that he'll continue to seek if
anyone ever enters his wilderness again
jason was my son given all the carnage
it doesn't come across as a relaxing
vacation spot to get away from it all
as it does a magnet for serial killers
her son jason
[Music]
he came back yet in the sequels that
doesn't stop young people from hanging
out in the area and ushering in their
doom
no one in forest green wants to be
reminded of what that maniac did here
that's why we changed the name people
want to forget this was crystal lake
in part six the town tries to get over
its reputation by changing its name from
crystal lake
to forest green as if all their problems
can be solved by rebranding
no their problem revolves around a dude
wearing a hockey mask
who pretty much doesn't like anybody
have to be warned sheriff
jason will return to the area that's
familiar no matter what you call it it's
still camp crystal lake to him
number four not listening to crazy ralph
friday the 13th you're going to camp
blood ain't you
a self-described messenger of god this
crystal lake local tries to warn the
kids that they're doomed if they go into
camp crystal lake
but the kids choose to stay it's got a
death curse
as a result most of them end up getting
bumped off to be fair
ralph doesn't look like a reliable
source to take advice from
as everything about him is weird and
awkward but he was
right about the misfortune that came to
people who visited the campgrounds
you're all doomed you're all
doomed ironically though not even ralph
listened to his own advice
which led to his demise in part two
number three tommy jarvis digging up
jason's grave
friday the 13th part six jason lives
[Music]
in the friday the 13th franchise tommy
jarvis is one of the most prominent
characters
significant alone for having actually
successfully killed jason in the final
chapter
however his first encounter with jason
weighed heavily on tommy and disrupted
his mental well-being
jason belongs in hell and i'm going to
see he gets there
at the beginning of part six he brings a
buddy with him to exhume jason's corpse
and incinerate his remains to ensure
that jason never comes back
but his need for peace of mind results
in lightning striking jason's corpse
thus reviving him and making him an
unstoppable killing machine
not only does his plan make no sense it
was responsible for bringing jason back
so all the deaths from here on out can
be laid at tommy's feet
yeah thanks a lot buddy number two
julius taking jason on in a boxing match
friday the 13th part 8 jason takes
manhattan
separated from his group while stranded
in new york julius has chased up a
rooftop by
jason
rather than continue to run he decides
to put his boxing skills to use and
tries to punch jason out
after jason became a superhuman zombie
in part 6
we've seen him take all kinds of damage
including being shot and set on fire
and it all seems to roll off his
shoulders
now julius may be a good boxer in his
own right but he's
obviously no match for jason who engages
in rope-a-dope with julius
who is unable to make a dent as if this
wasn't a big enough mistake when julius
runs out of energy
he unwisely asks for jason's best shot
setting up jason for the finishing blow
pick your best shot
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few other terrible decisions in the
friday the 13th franchise
that definitely deserve an honorable
mention court driving the rv
recklessly friday the 13th part six
jason lives
if you can't hear someone getting
attacked at an rv your music's too loud
miles climbing up the mast friday the
13th part eight
jason takes manhattan he had nowhere to
go but down
the government deciding to transport
jason unfrozen
jason x another blunder courtesy of the
deep state

number one the camp counselors
neglecting jason
the friday the 13th franchise this
negligent act
is the original sin of the franchise two
camp counselors were
so busy fooling around that they failed
to notice jason struggling in the water
even though he was supposed to be under
their supervision
did you know that a young boy drowned
the year before those two others were
killed
the counselors weren't paying any
attention they were making love while
that young boy drowned
when jason didn't turn up pamela
voorhees believed that she'd lost her
child not only did this lead to the
counselors getting their comeuppance
it's the genesis for all the murders and
violence that takes place in the series
i am jason in the first film mrs
voorhees begins her reign of terror to
keep camp crystal lake from reopening
bitter about what happened to her son
and when she's killed
jason has to avenge his mother and
continue her mission against libertine
teens
