Friday the 13th Part 3 (1982)


This film marks the first appearance of Jason's hockey mask, which became synonymous with the character. It was originally screened in theaters in anaglyphic 3-D as a gimmick which was popularized in the '50s and briefly resurrected in the '80s for films such as Jaws 3D and Amityville 3D. It lends to a certain retro charm because you have things purposely being thrown into the lens for no particular reason.
This was intended to be the final movie in the series, as the filmmakers wanted to cap it as a trilogy. But it was so successful, they decided to make one more to wrap it up...
