Friday the 13th Part IX: Return to Crystal Lake

Friday the 13th Part IX: Return to Crystal Lake is an upcoming horror slasher film and the 13th Friday the 13th film to be released, though it is marketed as the ninth installment. It serves as a direct sequel to 1989's Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhatten, continuing the story and ignoring the events of 1993's Jason Goes to Hell, 2002's Jason X, and 2003's  Freddy Vs. Jason, as well as the 2009 remake, all of which were distributed by New Line Cinema. This is the ninth installment to be distributed by Paramount Pictures, as well as the first one they have distributed since Part VIII. It is the first in a slate of 5 Friday sequels announced, which are intended to end the series on Part 13. Like Part VI it mixes it's brutal horror with some self referential humor.

Jason's Mask
