I think somehow this is the definitive Friday the 13th, or if you like the definitive Jason Voorhees movie.

No way! The film's didn't really start to lose their early 80's vibe until the 6th, which is very clearly late 80's looking with all the styles. I thought the first 5 all had a very similar atmosphere :). I mean it's only about 5 years apart :p.

While The Final Chapter emerged from what I consider to be the Golden Era of the series (parts 1-4), and while I do like it, its actually my least favorite of the bunch. Not only do I not care for the physicality of Jason, but the early 80s-ness that I so greatly love about the first three entries is replaced, albeit unavoidably, by a
mid
80s-ness. -

I completely agree! Now that I've seen the Final Chapter again recently, from this movie onwards the wardrobe definitely starts to have a more distinguished 80s look to it. Part 1-3 still have traces of the 1970s (fros, farrah fawcett hair, that Tommy Chong look-alike,etc) which would be appropriate for'80-'82. Part 5 is when the franchise gets really 80s though.

1,2 and 6 are my favourite, the first 2 had lots of atmosphere and genuinely feel creepy to me, 6 is a lot different to 1 & 2 but it's just a fun movie and seems 'glossier' than the others - I think 4 falls flat in the atmospheric department, its not scary and doesn't take advantage of the creepy woodland setting, it's not terrible or anything but I think it's kinda overrated - it's a very 'by the numbers' Friday movie imo
