Richard Brooker was the more devilish Jason, IMO. A far scarier and disturbingly creepy Jason - he smiles too much!!

Ted White, I thought, was a more agile Jason - more athletic, a real chaser!! Plus he grabs kids, throws hammers at teens, murders twins, terrorizes a dog, making it jump out of a window, and he kills a male model taking a shower lol. This Jason was far entertaining and totally out of his mind. The twisting, turning final showdown with the sister and her little brother at the end was awesome, gory, and so twisted - a real roller-coaster for fans back in the day I bet.

Richard Brooker was creepier and stealthier, but Ted White was more aggressive, brutal, and pissed off. Slight edge to Ted although both were awesome, the 2 best Jasons.

Watching this movie again today knowing that fact had me floored. Seriously super threatening as Jason. I love it.

58 is only a number if the guy behind the hockey mask brings it. And White brought it.

Technically he was 57 because the movie started filming in October 1983 lol
