Part 5 Contact Sheets Reveal Behind The Scenes
Friday the 13th: A New Beginning is truly my guiltiest pleasure of the franchise. Jason Goes To Hell is my second favorite of the series, but in terms of the shear fun factor, Roy’s romp through Pinehurst is the best. Throughout the last year, I have been researching everything that can be found about this often overlooked film. First, Germaniac found the main shooting location last Summer, which led to a very cool interview with the owner of the location. That interview revealed a lot about the history of the ranch and also some interesting stories about the filming and the special effects.
Next, we discussed the other Jason stuntman in Part 5, John Hock. Mr. Hock portrayed Jason in 3 shots of the film and that finally shed some light on the ongoing debate amongst fans about who played Jason in what scenes. The last piece that was discovered from the movie was the shooting location of the diner where Billy goes to pick up Lana. Now, we have discovered something even more revealing of the filming.
Below are three contact sheets from the movie that show images that have never been seen before to the general public. These sheets show numerous scenes while they were being filmed and include effects shots and setup shots. Of note is the scene with the greasers where the one is killed with the machete. That death was cut severely, where you never see the machete actually cutting the neck. Well, in the contact sheet, you can see this motion.
You can also see the hijinks of Matt (Richard Young) being prepped for his body being revealed to Pam while running through the woods. The images are small and may be hard to see, but I think everyone should be able to get the idea. Enjoy!
WOW! Holy crap! This is so awesome. I like seeing the machete kill there. I would love to have these an be able to see bigger pics of these sheets. Nice job finding these.
Bigger Pics and more behind the scenes images coming soon…..
Can’t wait to see…esp if they are more Part V behind the scenes stuff…
Can’t wait, especially to see bigger shots of Eddie’s death. It looks like you can see the belt go halfway through his head, much more than what we see in the fuilm.

Cool find bro, thanks for sharing.
I hope to get the closeup shots of these up for everyone to see soon!
I see Robin walking around with the shears…foreshadowing to a famous death?
So AWESOME Jason thank you! I actually just got back from MonsterMania 16 where i had the extreme pleasure of hanging out with Melanie Kinnaman (Pam ) at the bar!! She was super sweet and amazing she even openly talked to me about shooting the film.
Cool, Brent! What did she mention about the filming?
Hey Jason, she told me that the chainsaw seen was NOT choreographed!!! That she and Tom just shot multiple takes of him blocking the chainsaw and it was edited together to look like a fight, she had no say in her costume and if it was up to her she would have looked much better in the film and then some really cool stuff about how her and Robert Englund are very good friends. She was so kind and down to earth
Indeed.
Awesome. It’s great to find out how scenes are filmed. Thanks for sharing.
