Background
After the Higgins Haven murders, Jason's body is taken to the morgue, where he revives, kills the coroner Axel Burns with a hacksaw and guts Nurse Robbie Morgan with a scalpel. A group of teenagers, Paul, Samantha, Sara, Doug, Jimmy and Ted, drive to Crystal Lake for a summer trip, passing Pamela Voorhees' tombstone and a hitchhiker whom Jason soon kills. Next door to their rental house live the Jarvis family: Trish, her twelve-year-old brother Tommy, their mother and the dog Gordon. The teens meet the twins Tina and Terri, and Jason comes for them all.
