Machete through the face, Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981)
Multiple counselors get got in this first Friday sequel, but the death of Mark (Tom McBride) is probably the most shocking. While Friday the 13th Part 2 must be commended for actually including a character that uses a wheelchair—representation that the horror genre could certainly use more of, even today—a cynical viewer might suspect that Mark was perhaps written that way in anticipation of his death scene. Nascent killer Jason sinks what would soon become his favorite weapon (a machete) into Mark’s startled face, a blow that would be enough to kill him even without the movie’s added flourish of sending him clattering down Camp Crystal Lake’s achingly long outdoor staircase.
