Death of Mrs. Voorhees, Friday the 13th (1980)
We’re going back to the beginning for this final entry, an iconic moment that pits shell-shocked Alice (Adrienne King) against Pamela Voorhees (Betsy Palmer) in a brutal machete fight that ends with one of horror’s most epic decapitations ever. Mrs. Voorhees’ shocked expression! That spurting neck blood (Savini, yet again)! Those slo-mo grabby hands, ghoulishly flailing around in front of a headless body! It’s just perfection, every time.
