But why did Jason spare his last victim's life?



Best Answer

This was mentioned in the comments, but needs to be an answer.

The scene described was just a dream sequence, and had no real bearing on the 'facts' of the movie, which were that Jason wasn't actually even alive in this movie, and that the killings ended with the death of his mother.

Until Part II that is!

Why does Jason keep killing?

He was an almost completely silent, undead and seemingly unstoppable killing machine. Jason was an iconic madman who haunts Camp Crystal Lake and the surrounding area, driven to slaughter anyone he encounters by a burning need to avenge the death of his beloved mother, Pamela Voorhees.

Why is Jason Voorhees so mad?

Jason is always angry because as a kid he was bullied for his head deformity and was killed by the children in Camp Crystal Lake. And on top of that the newer generation of kids from Camp Crystal Lake killed his mother.

Why does Jason have a chain around his neck?

The locket was originally worn by Pamela to remember her son, Jason Voorhees, after his drowning and presumed death at Camp Crystal Lake as a child. Pamela wore it during her killing spree at the camp until she was later beheaded.

Answer 2

The movie is about the perils of the transition into adulthood, with its greater responsibilities. It doesn't seem like the Voorhees are necessarily motivated by taking more victims: even Mrs. Voorhees stays within the camp. Given these facts and themes, I'd say Jason lets Alice live so she can tell the tale, and warn other people about the camp and the importance of responsibility.
