Even though the franchise has twelve films to its name, not all of them are particularly terrifying.
With Jason Voorhees starring at the unkillable serial killer of Crystal Lake, here are the scariestFriday the 13thfilms.

Jason Xis just laughable.
Hopefully, if the franchise ever continues, it does not take this route.

The only thing that is frightening about this film is the jumpscares that occur throughout the film.
But other than that, Jason doesn’t belong in a big city.
His scares only really, truly work when he is in a small, isolated area.
However, he is ambushed and killed, but his heart keeps beating.
This then leads to a coroner, manipulated by the beating of his heart, to eat it.
After all, what’s worse than an unkillable Jason?
One that can haunt and possess the bodies of the innocent so that he can resume his brutal rampage.
Serial killer Jason Voorhees' supernatural origins are revealed.
Freddy vs. Jasonis an interesting concept.
Still, having two horrifying terror icons in horror on the same screen is spine-crawling.
From beating someone unconscious to crushing skulls, this depiction of Jason goes all out.
No otherFriday the 13thcompares in terms of gruesomeness that is also still realistic, to an extent.
