Friday the 13th

"Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood" (1988)

Jason Voorhees has left behind scores of dead bodies over the course of 12 movies, and even the worst "Friday" flicks include at least one memorable demise. One such kill in the otherwise mediocre "The New Blood" has seared ... more itself into fans' memories: Jason descends upon a campsite, picks up helpless teenager Judy (Deborah Kessler) in her sleeping bag, and brutally slams the bag into a tree over and over again until you don't even dare imagine what it looks like inside. Honorable mention goes to the first movie, in which a young Kevin Bacon is impaled from underneath his bed after a vigorous bout of sex. At least he died smiling.
