Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986)

 This might actually be the best one; as Jay Baumen says it "feels like a real movie." Tommy Jarvis is back, though we are now on the 3rd actor playing him. Still plagued by visions of Jason, Tommy and friend dig him up o burn the body, but they accidentally end up bringing him back to life. We learn that for PR reasons Crystal Lake has changed its name to Forrest Green, but it will be back to Crystal Lake by the next movie. We have the return of camp councilors as victims, and we have actual campers this time, children, though none of them die. We also have a sheriff who thinks Tommy Jarvis is behind all the mayhem, though he comes to know better by the time he dies. Movie ends with Jason tied to a rock at the bottom of the lake. **1/2
