Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981)

Alice Hardy was the lone survivor of the massacre at Camp Crystal Lake and she's trying to put her life back together in her botanical garden apartment.  After taking the shortest shower in cinematic history, she discovers the decomposed head of Mrs. Voorhees next to the Lender's Bagels in her fridge before getting an ice pick to the temple.  It turns out Jason didn't drown after all.  He's now fully grown, mindful of a boiling kettle and has raided The Phantom from The Town That Dreaded Sundown's closet.  Donning a potato sack and some overalls, he heads for The Packanack Counselor Training Center, a kissing cousin to Camp Crystal Lake, where upstanding citizen Paul Holt is grooming a new brood.  But pretty soon counselors begin to get killed off in all too familiar  fashion. Conveniently, final girl Ginny Field has studied psychology and almost fools Jason in a somewhat confusing ending (which would not be the last for the franchise).  Friday the 13th Part 2 is a pretty decent sequel for being released less than a year from it’s predecessor, delivering some good scares and a Jason that runs, which is always a good thing in my book.
