SLASHER FILMS:
8. Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3-D (1982)
Rated
R
On the
very same night of Friday the 13th Part II, Jason begins killing again when yet another group of completely stupid

PG

giant shark attacks the park leaving many people trapped in the park forced to listen to that annoying musak crap. This isnt a good deal, even if the tickets were free. TRIVIA:
The film was originally intended to be a spoof called "Jaws 3, People 0". Even now, some very minor plot points of that
concept remain even though it was dropped during preproduction.
