Notes & Trivia[]
- This is actually the second novelization based on the film. The first was Friday the 13th Part 3 - 3D written by Michael Avallone and written in 1982.
- The novelization identifies Shelly's surname as "Greenblatt", even though it is actually Finkelstein according to his driver's license presented in the film.
- This book establishes that Chili was born in a commune in San Francisco and that she has a twin sister named Pepper.
- Debbie is only a month pregnant in this story.
- Chris Higgins and Debbie have been friends since childhood.
- Chris attempted regression therapy with a psychiatrist to recall the events of the previous summer, but she proved to be too resistant to hypnosis for it to work.
- This novelization implies that Jason Voorhees had always been a supernatural entity to some extent. He did drown and die as a child, but managed to pull himself to shore where a strange process of regeneration kept him alive despite all of the rules of nature (Page 66).
