Trivia: As an homage to a certain legendary horror actor, the cornershop at which Tommy phones Megan Garris (Jennifer Cooke) is called Karloff's General Store, after Boris Karloff.
Trivia: In the original script, there was a scene where Jason's father visits the empty grave. It was shot, but removed from the final version of the movie.
Trivia: Director Tom McLoughlin revealed in a 2017 interview that he was approached at one point to write and direct the seventh installment of the series after "Jason Lives" proved popular. Knowing the studio wanted to make "Freddy VS Jason" at that point but couldn't due to legal rights, McLoughlin pitched another crossover idea - "Cheech and Chong Meet Jason", a farcical comedy starring the stoner comedy-duo in the vein of the old Universal "Abbot and Costello Meet..." films. The producer thought the film would do well with comedy audiences and was entertained by the idea, but ultimately decided it would alienate horror fans too much and it never moved forward.
Trivia: There's a strong resemblance to the opening of the James Bond films after Jason puts on the mask and picks up the spear. He walks from right to left, stops mid screen and turns to face the camera, and blood fills up the screen.
Trivia: This film was the first in the Friday the 13th series that didn't gross over $20 million.
