Cool Horror Videos: Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter alternative ending!

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Since Friday the 13th is almost upon us, this is a good time to share this alternative ending to FRIDAY THE 13th: THE FINAL CHAPTER. As anyone who has seen the film (a million times) remembers, it ends on a slightly ominous note after Tommy (Corey Feldman) violently “kills” Jason. It’s a solid, memorable conclusion… but not the initially intended one.

As you’ll see in the video below, THE FINAL CHAPTER originally finished up with a creepy dream sequence, not unlike Part 1. Director Joseph Zito and actress Kimberly Beck offer some commentary, as there isn’t any audio to go along with the footage. Good stuff that any F13 completist should check out.

What do you think? Should THE FINAL CHAPTER have ended this way, or was the finale the filmmakers ultimately went with the right choice?
