So months ago... I don't even want to try to scroll back in my history to try to find the post so I'm just going to make a post asking about it. In a post someone in the comments mentioned that not every Friday the 13th movie got a novelization they specifically pointed out the author Simon Hawke who did part one two and three and part 6 and apparently they also maybe did a few other novels that weren't based on the movie specifically. Like one that takes place in between part 1 and part 2 and features Sack Head Jason killing a bunch of hippies. I can't remember the name of that book but I tried to look it up under that author Simon Hawke and it only says he did one two three and six but there's also a Jason X novel and sequel novels and a Freddy vs Jason novel but not by Simon.

That's all this person in the comments said, but I am currently listening to the audiobook for Friday the 13th part 5 on YouTube and I've seen a part 4 reading video as well so what gives? I went to a fan Wikipedia to find out what's going on and the part five book I'm currently listening to is not listed on the fan Wikipedia... Same thing with part 4. There's also two versions of part 3 written I don't know why so that's confusing. Plus there's those series of books where his mask possesses people but I don't think those are in continuity with the other books.

So where can I find all these books and why are some of them not listed on the wiki and some people here on Reddit unaware of them? What's going on with the novelizations?

Other miscellaneous things from the novelization that I've seen people talk about on various posts. The healing Factor mentioned in Jason x was actually first established in the novelization of Friday the 13th part 2. The part 6 novelization actually uses the scrapped ending from the movie instead of the actual movie ending. Apparently in the novels the reason why Jason kills isn't simply because people are in his territory and he's acting like an animal but apparently he has a droning noise in his head that keeps bothering him and every time he kills it stops and he has to keep killing and with each kill it only works for only a few seconds and it keeps getting smaller and smaller so basically it's like an addiction. And according to the novelization of part 5 from what I've heard I haven't made it that far into the video yet but I saw this on Reddit apparently Roy Burns is possessed by the spirit of Jason so technically Jason is the killer technically.

So can someone tell me if all these novels are supposed to be in continuity with each other or connected at all or if each novel written by a different author is not meant to connect to the other moving novelizations? And do those four books where his mask possesses people are they also supposed to be in continuity with the other film novelizations? And same thing with the Jason x novelization and its sequels are all the books connected to each other or are they their own standalone universes / different continuities? And most importantly why is the information on them so inconsistent and where can I find them all? I know only one of the two part three novelizations can be the Canon one if they're all supposed to be connected but which one? And why is there two novelizations for that one? And why does the mask on the cover of the first novelization looks so funky is that what it actually is in the book or is that just for the cover?

Anyway let me know in the comments below thanks for reading.

We Are The offspring of chrysalis and shining armor. That's all we are going to reveal here if you want more then ask us questions in the comments.

There's a few different ways you could rank them you could rank them by how good they are as a final girl like all the smart decisions they've made and all the dumb decisions they've made weigh them out and see who survived the best. Which is what I'm going to try to do. Or you could try to judge them as characters or people outside of being a final girl like if you like them for their personality or if you don't like their personality. Or you could rank them by attractiveness. There's a few different options. Rank them in whatever way you feel like cuz I'm curious. I haven't ranked them yet because I actually need to watch all the movies again and analyze them bit by bit compare them to each other and see which final girl was the best final girl I've heard a lot of people say Pam from part 5 was the worst and I need to compare her to the others to really see how true that is. But what do you think?

I didn't include eve in here because sweet revenge is not a full movie but if you want to include her you can.
