New “Kill Count” Video Tallies Up the Victims in ‘Friday the 13th Part 3’
It’s Friday, and you know what that means. New episode of “Kill Count”!
The third installment in the Friday the 13th franchise, released in 1982, is notable for a couple of big reasons. For starters, it was the first (and only) film in the series that brought Jason into the world of three-dimensions, which was kind of a big deal at the time. But more importantly, of course, Friday the 13th Part 3 was the film that saw Jason obtain his iconic hockey mask.
In the latest episode of YouTube series “Kill Count,” host James A. Janisse takes a closer look at Friday the 13th Part 3, paying particular attention to the film’s various kill scenes. A grand total of 12 people die in Part 3, the highest body count for the franchise at the time, and James highlights the coolest and lamest of those kills – actually, they’re one and the same this time around.
My personal favorite kill in Friday Part 3? Andy, who gets chopped in half while doing a handstand. It’s one of the series’ most brutal death scenes, and I cringe every single time.

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
