Taste the sewer, Friday the 13th Part VII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989)

This logic-challenged sequel has very few glimmers of joy—it takes almost the entire movie for Jason’s very hyped arrival in the Big Apple—but it does feature a handful of creative kills. This one involves a jerky teacher who’s been chaperoning a group of recent high-school grads on a boat trip to you-know-which big city. After they come ashore, stowaway Jason throws the teacher out of a window before dropping him headfirst into a barrel of toxic-looking sewage that’s just, like, hanging out on the sidewalk. Welcome to New York!
