Jason Voorhees isn't a nice person

Jason Voorhees isn’t a nice person

It’s Friday the 13th! That means the end of the work week falls on the 13th day of the month. Apparently, it’s also a spooky day filled with superstition. Don’t walk under an open ladder, or you’ll be cursed or something. You know who loves this day? Jason Voorhees, the undead maniac who hacks up campers with his machete. For nearly four decades, he’s been murdering dozens upon dozens of people in the films series.

The Friday the 13th series is one of the most popular and successful horror franchises of all time, mainly because of its terrifying, unstoppable star: the machete-wielding Jason. Who doesn’t love Jason? From his hockey mask to his machete to his strange ability to catch up to someone no matter how fast they’re running, he’s one of the most iconic monsters from the slasher genre.

He’s racked up quite a kill total over the years, and while we tend to rank movies by box office totals or overall quality, we couldn’t think of a better way to rate this series than by the number of kills Voorhees accumulated over the years. Obviously, if you’re a fan of the series, then you know Jason wasn’t the main killer in a couple of the movies in the franchise. Don’t worry, we’re also aware of that as well.

So going through the world of Jason Voorhees and all his horrific murders, here’s every Jason movie, ranked by his body count.

]]>

12. Friday the 13th (1980)

12. Friday the 13th (1980)

Coming in at last place is the original Friday the 13th, as Jason Voorhees wasn’t the killer. His mother Pamela was. This movie came along early in the slasher movie genre, just a couple years after Halloween.

Total Jason Voorhees kills: 0

Note: Pamela Voorhees killed nine people in case you were curious.

]]>

]]>

11. Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985)

11. Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985)

Conceptually, A New Beginning isn’t a terrible idea, as the movie follows Tommy Jarvis–who killed Jason Voorhees years prior. Tommy now lives in a halfway house for mentally ill teenagers. However, Jason has returned and is on a killing spree. Here’s the crazy twist: it’s not Jason committing the murders. It’s a paramedic named Roy doing all the killing, and there are some really bizarre kills here, like eyes being gouged out by garden shears.

Total Jason Voorhees kills: 0

Note: Roy killed 17 people.

]]>

]]>

10. Friday the 13th: Part 2 (1981)

10. Friday the 13th: Part 2 (1981)

The 1981 sequel introduces Jason Voorhees for the first time; however, he has yet to get his signature hockey mask. He instead wears a burlap sack over his head. At this point in the series, there aren’t any over-the-top kills, as the craziest one is someone being strangled with barbed wire.

Total Jason Voorhees kills: 9

Note: The count is possibly 10 because it’s up for debate that Paul was killed off-screen, but there’s no way for sure knowing who killed him.

]]>

]]>

9. Friday the 13th Part III (1982)

9. Friday the 13th Part III (1982)

Of course, Friday the 13th Part III was in 3D, which was all the rage during the ’80s. This movie marks the first time Jason crushed someone’s head, as well as the first time he wears his signature hockey mask.

Total Jason Voorhees kills: 12

]]>

]]>

8. Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)

8. Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)

While the fourth movie is titled The Final Chapter, in no way is it actually the “final chapter” in the series. This Friday the 13th installment features Jason killing someone with a garden claw.

Total Jason Voorhees kills: 13

]]>

]]>

7. Friday the 13th (2009)

7. Friday the 13th (2009)

The 2009 Friday the 13th reboot packed the first three original films into one, non-stop movie. Jason gets a headshot with a bow and arrow in this one.

Total Jason Voorhees kills: 13

]]>

]]>

6. Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988)

6. Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988)

Jason has been at the bottom of Camp Crystal laying dormant. In The New Blood, a telekinetic teenager releases him and must find a way to stop him. The most ridiculous kill of the film comes from Jason driving a party horn through a young woman’s eye. This is also the movie that features Jason swinging a sleeping bag–with someone inside–against a tree. It’s easily the most memorable kill in the franchise.

Total Jason Voorhees kills: 15

]]>

]]>

5. Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)

5. Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)

In Jason Takes Manhattan, Voorhees gets on a boat headed to Manhattan with a group of graduating high school students and takes them all out, one by one. Sadly, unlike the title states, he spends very little of the movie actually in New York City. The kills in this movie get more inventive and one of the most ridiculous comes when Jason literally punches someone so hard that their head flies off their body.

Total Jason Voorhees kills: 15*

Notes: Count could be as many as 18. There are a couple accidents here as well as a guy who Jason throws into a mirror at a diner, but there’s no confirmed kill there. In addition, there is no way of knowing how many people were killed when the S.S. Lazarus sank.

]]>

]]>

4. Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI (1986)

4. Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI (1986)

Jason comes back to life in the sixth film. Tommy Jarvis, from A New Beginning, tries to dispose of Jason’s body but accidentally brings him back to life. While the movie features a lot of machete-hacking mayhem, the best kill comes from an officer getting a metal dart thrown into his skull.

Total Jason Voorhees kills: 18

]]>

]]>

3. Jason X (2001)

3. Jason X (2001)

Everything about Jason X is ridiculous. In the 25th century, Jason wakes up on a spaceship and insanity ensues. There are a lot of silly kills in this movie, including a woman’s head getting frozen in liquid nitrogen, then smashed on a countertop.

Total Jason Voorhees kills: 21*

Note: There’s no way of knowing how many people died when the Solaris space station exploded.

]]>

]]>

2. Freddy vs. Jason (2003)

2. Freddy vs. Jason (2003)

Freddy vs. Jason pits the two most iconic supernatural killers in horror history–sorry Michael Myers–and they fight to the “death.” There aren’t a lot of inventive kills in this movie; “however, while wielding a flaming machete, Jason does take out a whole bunch of party-goers at a rave, which is quite enjoyable to watch, unless you’re into that whole rave scene.

Total Jason Voorhees kills: 22*

Note: Hard to pinpoint how many people Jason killed during the cornfield rave scene.

]]>

]]>

1. Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)

1. Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)

Jason Goes to Hell not only has a ridiculous plot, but it has the most Jason Voorhees kills in the franchise. The supernatural monster is killed by an FBI special ops team, and his spirit–stay with me–starts possessing people, which ends up with the possessed killing everyone around them. It may not be the body of Voorhees, but his spirit is technically doing the killing. The most ridiculous kill comes when a woman is drowned in a deep fryer.

Total Jason Voorhees kills: 25

Note: 10 of the deaths–including a group of civilians that are killed–happen off-screen.

]]>

Total kills

Total kills

Since Jason’s first murder in Friday the 13th: Part II–in 1981–he’s killed 163 people, and even more if you count the people aboard the space station blowing up in Jason X or those who died when the ship sank in Jason Takes Manhattan. Once again, the kills in the first film and A New Beginning don’t count because it wasn’t Jason doing the killing. So while 163 is our total from this list, a few of the murders are up for debate.

Total Jason Voorhees kills: 163

Astronomers Discover 139 New ‘Minor Planets’ in the Outer Solar System

Astronomers have found 139 new “minor planets” in the far reaches of our solar system just beyond Neptune’s orbit, which could potentially boost scientists’ continued searches for the putative Planet Nine.

A new study published in The Astrophysical Journal revealed how data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) helped researchers to detect a new cluster of Trans-Neptune objects, from which 139 out of 316 minor planets had not been documented before.

[ignvideo url=”http://www.ign.com/videos/2016/01/21/our-solar-system-may-have-a-ninth-planet-again-ign-news”]

The DES operation, spanning across six years, mapped the southern skies to observe galaxy clusters and supernovae in an effort to understand astrological patterns, particularly in relation to dark energy, which is thought to be behind the accelerated period of expansion in our universe.

However, the journal entry explains the study provided more information than anticipated, as data from the first four years of the DES project helped to uncover hundreds of small objects – ranging in distance from 30 astronomical units, close to Neptune’s orbit, and 90 astronomical units (AU) away from the sun.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2016/04/04/more-evidence-of-a-ninth-planet-in-our-solar-system-emerges-ign-news”]

According to Space.com, scientists hope to adapt this new methodology to aid in their mission to find the theoretical Planet Nine and other undiscovered planets.

“There are lots of ideas about giant planets that used to be in the solar system and aren’t there anymore, or planets that are far away and massive but too faint for us to have noticed yet,” said physicist and astronomer Gary Bernstein from the University of Pennsylvania.

“Making the catalog is the fun discovery part,” Bernstein added. “Then, when you create this resource, you can compare what you did find to what somebody’s theory said you should find.”

This new study puts astronomers on an exciting path towards discovering even more about the galaxy far, far away.

As we know, the Star Wars fictional universe has been steadily evolving for years. From the battle-strewn wastes of Jakku to the lush beaches of Scarif, the recent sequel trilogy and franchise spin-offs have introduced many new planets to the Star Wars solar system.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Dynamic PS4 Themes Revealed

Square Enix has revealed the three dynamic Final Fantasy 7 Remake themes coming to PS4s soon.

We’ve known about the dynamic themes for some time now but before Friday, March 13, we didn’t know what the themes looked like beyond just a screenshot. The official Final Fantasy 7 Remake Twitter tweeted out previews of each of the three themes revealing the art associated with each and the music as well.

The first theme will be available April 10th for anyone that downloads the free Final Fantasy 7 Remake demo before May 11. It features our main cast looking out at the horizon just as the sun goes down. You can check it out below.

The second theme shared on Twitter was a dynamic Midgar theme coming to all PS+ users “soon.” It features an expansive wide shot of Midgar and a cool shot of Cloud. The game’s main battle theme plays too.

The third Final Fantasy 7 Remake dynamic PS4 theme prominently features Sephiroth and is a theme available only to those who preorder the game through Amazon in the U.S. or various retailers throughout Europe. You can check out both below.

The third theme’s tweet says, “Stay tuned for a closer look at some other #FF7R themes in the future,” so it would seem we could be seeing even more Final Fantasy 7 Remake dynamic PS4 themes soon.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=final-fantasy-7-remake-over-100-screenshots&captions=true”]

In the meantime, if you haven’t played the Final Fantasy 7 Remake demo, you should at least download it to get the free theme coming April 10. Check out our walkthrough of the demo’s Midgar Mako Reactor section to ensure you find every secret within. We’ve also got a guide showing you how to get the demo’s secret ending.

Our Doom Eternal Review Is Coming on Tuesday

Brace yourselves: IGN’s Doom Eternal review, which is currently being composed by our own Ryan McCaffrey, will land on this very website on Tuesday, March 17 at 7am Pacific time, when the embargle lifts. Well, specifically, it’ll be our review of the single-player campaign only, because the new 2v1 Battlemode multiplayer won’t be switched on until launch on March 20. So our multiplayer-specific review and our final, overall score will follow a couple of days after that, as an ASAP kind of thing.

We know: the anticipation is killing us, too. In the meantime, you should absolutely check out our vast library of Doom Eternal gameplay video and previews. Will it make the urge to play it immediately easier to bear? Well… no. Probably worse, actually. But it’s a good kind of hurt, you know? And if there’s anything you want to know about Doom Eternal, leave your questions below – Ryan won’t be able to say a peep until Tuesday but after that, it’s all fair game (except spoilers).

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Tops NPD Charts for February 2020

The Nintendo Switch was the best-selling hardware platform and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was the best-selling game of February 2020, according to NPD.

Revealed by NPD’s VG industry analyst Mat Piscatella, February 2020’s spending on video game hardware, software, accessories, and game cards totaled $755 million USD, which is a 29% decline from 2019.

Year-to-date 2020 spending for the same parameters totaled $1.4 billion USD, which is a 28% decline from 2019.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare topped the list of best-selling games, followed by NBA 2K20 and Grand Theft Auto V.

While Modern Warfare took the number one spot from Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot from January 2020, the latest DBZ game is still the best-selling game of 2020 YTD. However, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is the best selling game over a 12-month period ending with February 2020.

Tom Clancy’s Division 2, which recently received the Warlords of New York expansion and went on sale for as low as $2.99 USD, returned to the best-selling chart in February 2020.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=every-2020-video-game-release&captions=true”]

There were also no newly released titles in February 2020 that broke the top 20 best-selling games list. The Yakuza Remastered Collection was the highest ranking new release at #33.

There should be plenty of shake-ups for March 2020, however, as such titles as Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Nioh 2, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Doom Eternal, Half-Life: Alyx, and Persona 5 Royal are all scheduled to be released.

Best-Selling Games And Console Of February 2020 Revealed (US)

The NPD Group has revealed the best-selling games of February 2020, which comprises physical games and a limited amount of digital data. In addition to recent heavy-hitters like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, Grand Theft Auto 5 continues to chart more than six years after its initial launch.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was followed by NBA 2K20 and Grand Theft Auto 5 in February, with Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and The Division 2 rounding out the top five. Ring Fit Adventure was also in the top 10, which could come in handy for those looking to stay away from a public gym during the coronavirus outbreak.

Interestingly, there was not a single February 2020 game included on the top 20 list. It was a relatively slow month that saw the launch of a few games like Dreams and Darksiders Genesis, but they launched later in the month.

Overall software sales were down 36 percent compared to this time last year, with much of the decline attributed to the slow release period. As we move further into March and April and more highly-anticipated games release, that should begin improving.

Nintendo Switch was the best-selling system in February 2020 and is currently the best-selling gaming console for the year. Despite this, hardware spending was down 34 percent, with players’ eyes likely on the upcoming PS5 and Xbox Series X instead of the older systems.

Just like in January, the Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 remained the best-selling gaming accessory, but accessory purchases were down 14 percent compared to last year.

Total spending for February 2020 totaled $755, down 29 percent from last year. You can see the full top 20 best-selling games for the month below.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Season 7, Episode 4 Review

Warning: this review contains full spoilers for Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Season 7, Episode 4! If you need a refresher on where we left off, here’s our review for Season 7, Episode 3.

[poilib element=”accentDivider”]

The Clone Wars often runs into trouble with its longer, four-episode story arcs. More often than not, the series fails to justify spending so much time with one conflict and one group of characters. That’s certainly been the case with Bad Batch, with “Unfinished Business” finally wrapping up the story of Echo and his kooky clone saviors. It’s a solid finish to an overly lengthy Star Wars adventure, but also one that proves just a bit too anticlimactic in the end.

As with Episode 3, this finale has no trouble boosting the scale of the conflict, especially with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu joining Anakin in the fight to reclaim Anaxes. Dividing the conflict between Obi-Wan and Mace on the ground and Anakin’s team aboard the Separatist Dreadnaught helps keep the battle fresh, at least for the first two acts. Eventually, this episode devolves into the same sort of claustrophobic running and gunning that was so prevalent in the first two chapters of Bad Batch. But up till that point, the combination of Mace slaughtering droids and Bad Batch turning Admiral Trench’s precious algorithm against him helps keep the excitement factor high.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=star-wars-the-clone-wars-final-season-gallery&captions=true”]

The Jedi characters tend to steal the show in this episode. The series has never really devoted as much time to fleshing out Mace as you might expect, given how important he is in Episode III. And while there’s not much in the way of actual character development for him here, he does make for a thoroughly entertaining hero. His display of bravado to the droid army is pure Sam Jackson-y goodness (delivered with full authenticity by TC Carson). And it’s nice to see him get his big moment to shine as Mace races against time to disarm a bomb that could easily tear the planet in two.

However, it’s Anakin who really shines here. Following up on that fascinating scene between Anakin and Padme in Episode 2, now we get to see a much closer glimpse of how close Anakin is to falling to the Dark Side. His attack on Trench’s command center purposely calls back to Episode III with the low angle shot of Anakin igniting his lightsaber. That scene is basically a mashup of Anakin’s Youngling killing spree and his slaughter of the Separatist leaders on Mustafar. It’s chilling to watch him callously torture Trench, even openly admitting he’s willing to cross lines ordinary Jedi never would. If this season succeeds at nothing else, at least it’ll bridge that final gap between the animated series and the movie where Anakin’s arc is concerned. I can’t wait to see how Ahsoka’s return will impact a Jedi who’s already clearly in a great deal of turmoil.

It’s just a shame this episode doesn’t do more with its clone protagonists. Echo at least gets his moment in the spotlight, saving the day and proving the Separatists can’t reprogram his loyalty to his fellow clones. But that moment comes surprisingly early in the episode, leaving him with little to do but pass out and wait for Bad Batch to shoot their way to safety. At that point, the episode never really conjured the sense of danger and dread it should. The fact that all four members of Bad Batch make it through the entire storyline with nary a scratch seems like a questionable choice. It never feels like these characters were in any real danger.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/star-wars-the-clone-wars-unfinished-business-clip”]

More disappointing is how little meaningful interaction we’ve gotten between Echo and Rex. These most recent two episodes barely gave the two any room to reconnect and to dig deeper into Echo’s psychological ordeal. The ending does resonate as we watch Echo make his choice and throw his lot in with the outcasts, but it would have connected even more if this episode had devoted more time to Echo’s feelings of alienation. This arc dragged on longer than it needed to, but only because it didn’t take full advantage of the dramatic storytelling possibilities available. Let’s hope these next two Ahsoka arcs are different.
