Though we’re generally not fans of this Michael Bay-produced remake, this wink to Friday the 13th’s long history of sleeping-bag terror ain’t bad. Here, an unfortunate teen is bundled into a sleeping bag which is then hung over a campfire, where it’s soon engulfed in flames—and her friend (who’s been caught in a nearby bear trap) is forced to listen to her screams. When the sleeping bag disintegrates, the girl pops out onto the ground… completely burned to a crisp.
