Producer Sean Cunningham sold the film with little more than a title and an idea to produce a movie with 13 murders. Thanks to Tom Savini, each murder became a creative endeavor, including a spear going through the throat of young actor, Kevin Bacon.
The final moments introduce Jason Voorhees, who was portrayed by young Ari Lehman. Lehman is now an accomplished musician whose music can be heard during the closing credits of "Jerry & Woody's Fright Asylum!"
