Friday the 13th Part 3D (1982)***.

***
Before Part 3 begins, we see the final minutes of Part 2. The 87 minute running time of the second movie, with editor Susan E. Cunningham, (the wife of Sean S. Cunningham), and composer Harry Manfredini, creates tension for three minutes; part 3 runs 92 minutes, and is produced by Frank Mancuso, Jr., this time, with Steve Miner working for the last time on the early "Friday the 13th" horror series.

Jason Voorhees, (Richard Brooker), dons the famous hockey mask in Steve Miner's "Friday the 13th Part 3D", (1982).

The film begins with Mrs. Pamela Voorhees's head, as the credits roll. Then Jason Voorhees drags his machete in his right hand in the barn, and waiting for the new campers and counsellors at Camp Crystal Lake. Then we see Chris, (Dana Kimmell); Andy, (Jeffrey Rogers); Debbie, (Tracie Savage); Chuck, (David Katims); and Chili, (Rachel Howard), two twenty-something dope smokers. They head to Higgins Haven, (a camping retreat near the infamous camp), where they spend the weekend. Like the others, they indulge in making out, do drugs, and are scared by snakes, and other 3D scares. In town, earlier on,  a couple named Harold, (Steve Susskind), a overweight middle-aged man, and his wife Edna, (Cheri Maugans), who has her hair in curlers, watches the television that deals with the previous murders. In the end, they're killed by Jason Voorhees. Maybe he left the woods, and decided to attack the Crystal Lake locals! Maybe the viewer have to suspend disbelief. The campers then see the bodies, and Chris is scared. They then pick up Spanish-American teen Vera, (Catharine Parks), whose mother, Mrs. Sanchez, (Perla Walter), warns her not to go to the camp, and Shelly, (Larry Zerner), who has a bag full of masks and other items. He is following in the footsteps of Ned and Ted, the jokers from the previous two "Friday the 13th" movies. When they reach the camp, Chris is accosted with a kiss by boyfriend Rick, (Paul Kratka). Chris is a colder female character than Alice Hardy and Ginny Field is, so there's no warmth to her. The screenplay by Martin Kitrosser and Carol Watson, is strong in some areas. At some parts, it is weak.

It was the most violent sneeze Diana had ever seenIt is dangerous to go into town when you face a bikie gang....Steve Miner's "Friday the 13th Part 3D", (1982).

Before the campers arrive they see an old man called Abel, (David Wiley), who tells the campers that Jason Voorhees is still alive. Scared, they leave. Shelly pulls more pranks much to the anger of Andy, and the others. When Vera and Shelly head into town to get supplies and food in Rick's van, they run into a bikie gang led by an African-American leader named Ali, (Nick Savage); Fox, (Gloria Charles); and white gang member Loco, (Kevin O'Brien), in the supermarket. After a brief exchange, Shelly runs over their bikes. And Ali smashes the glass of the van. Then they vow revenge. Rick, on the other hand, is angry about Chris's friends, that leads to more problems for her.
