Perhaps no film has been less accurately titled than Friday the 13^th: The Final Chapter. Dating to 1984, this was the fourth installment of the slasher film epic about hockey-masked Jason Voorhees, but the name “The Final Chapter” was premature to say the least. Seven Friday the 13^th movies have followed, with such subtitles as A New Beginning, Jason Lives and The New Blood. And a remake of the original is supposedly in the works for 2009.

Here’s the original trailer of the film that the YouTube page calls “Firday” the 13th Part 4:
