‘Friday the 13th: A New Beginning’ Deaths Analyzed in New “Kill Count” Video
Jason may not quite be in it, but A LOT of people die in Part 5.
The fourth installment in the Friday the 13th franchise may not have truly been “The Final Chapter,” but it was the final film in the franchise that featured a living Jason Voorhees; when the masked maniac returned in Jason Lives, he was “undead”. In between those two films came 1985’s Friday the 13th: A New Beginning, which attempted to move on from the story of Jason.
Like Halloween 3, Friday 5 proved to be a one-shot deal, but you have to admire the franchise’s bold choice of releasing a sequel that didn’t actually have Jason in it. Or maybe it wasn’t so much a bold choice as it was a dumb one. The jury is still out on that one. But no matter how you slice it, A New Beginning ain’t too shabby – and it had the series’ highest body count to that point.
An impressive 22 people die in A New Beginning, giving it a kill every 4-minutes on average. But which kill was the best? The worst? Check out a full analysis of all 22 in the latest “Kill Count”!

The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes co-creators Costa Dillon and J. Stephen Peace return to write and executive produce. David Ferino directs.
The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
