Friday the 13th (1980) KILL COUNT is the first video of The Kill Count.
Overview[]
In 1958, two campers, Barry and Claudette wander upstairs to play a little cabin attic grab-ass. An unseen killer stabs Barry in the gut below screen and kills Claudette off screen, and the camera flashes to white.
In 1979, Anne Philips and a trucker decide to head to Crystal Camp. She is harassed by Crazy Ralph and is warned about the dangers of Camp Crystal before being told to shut up. We get to see the trucker, Enos, help her inside the truck and drop her off.
Jack, Marcie and Ned are seen driving off to Camp Crystal swell while also listening to country-style hillbilly music, they arrive at camp where Steve Christie, the current owner of crystal lake and introduces a counselor, Alice Hardy. Later, Annie Phillips gets picked up by another driver. The driver does strange things to Anne, so she jumps out of the truck and runs into the woods. The unseen killer then finds her and slits her throat.
Ned is later killed off-screen but is seen again after Jack and Marcie are having sex, Marcie decides to go to the bathroom, giving enough time for Jack to be impaled by an arrow. Later when Marcie is looking around the restroom, she gets axed in the face.
During this time, Steve Christy has been at a diner drinking coffee and talking to the waitress. When he comes back to Camp Crystal Lake, the unseen killer stabs him in the gut. Meanwhile Brenda Jones, Bill Brown and Alice are playing strip Monopoly. After the game, Brenda is seen reading a book in bed and goes outside after hearing a scream. She is then heard yelling.
Bill and Alice split up, but Bill is later seen pinned up to the door with arrows. After Alice sees that Brenda, Annie and Steve were murdered, she finally meets with Pamela who at first seems innocent but later revealed as the unseen killer. She tries killing her, but is only stopped when Alice decapitates her with her own machete. The final ending is Alice being dragged under water by a young Jason, before waking up in a hospital bed.
