Trivia:

  • Steve Miner makes a cameo as the newscaster.
     
  • Dana Kimmell frequently asked Frank Mancuso Jr. to remove some of the gore and nudity that the original script included.
     
  • Not including the scenes from "Part 2," this is the only "Friday the 13th" film when none of the characters actually say the name "Jason."
     
  • Debbie picks up a copy of "Fangoria" and turns to an article about Tom Savini, the man responsible for the gore in some of the "Friday the 13th" films.
     
  • Able (the old man) is much like Crazy Ralph from the first two films.
