Hockey-masked killer
Jason Vorhees returns to terrorize a lakeside family and their rowdy teen neighbors in this fourth installment of the long-running
slasher series. After the events of
Friday the 13th, Part 3,
Jason's seemingly lifeless body is brought to the morgue, where horny attendant
Axel (
Bruce Mahler) is trying to score with foxy
Nurse Morgan (
Lisa Freeman). The pair quickly meet a grisly end. Meanwhile, at Crystal Lake, estranged wife
Mrs. Jarvis (
Joan Freeman) and her kids -- young
Tommy (
Corey Feldman) and teenaged
Trish (
Kimberly Beck) -- find their quiet invaded by a group of hard-partying kids moving into the rental house next door. The youngsters include curious virgin
Sara (
Barbara Howard), hot-to-trot
Samantha (
Judie Aronson), and nebbish
Jimmy (
Crispin Glover).
Tommy, a monster makeup enthusiast, enjoys watching the scantily clad young ladies through his window, while
Trish toys with the idea of joining in their revelries. Also lurking around the area is
Rob (
Erich Anderson), who claims to be hunting bear but actually has mysterious ties to the events of
Friday the 13th, Part 2. As the house full of teens begins to pair off -- aided by the addition of local twins
Tina (
Camilla More) and
Terri (
Carey More) to the mix -- an unseen killer begins to pick them off one by one. The bloodshed climaxes with a tense showdown in which
Tommy disguises himself as a bald, lumpy boyhood version of
Jason in hopes of distracting the relentless psychopath who hunts him.
Feldman would return for a cameo in
Friday the 13th, Part V: A New Beginning, only to be replaced by another actor in a grown-up version of the role.
