Newfields Summer Nights: Friday the 13th Part III

The beloved summer tradition, The National Bank of Indianapolis Summer Nights Film Series returns to Newfields on Fridays and select Saturdays this June, July, and August. Bring your friends and family and watch movies under the stars at Newfields. All you need is a chair or a blanket; concessions and beverages will be available for purchase. You are welcome to pack your own picnic (with non-alcoholic beverages only) if you’d like. For those who like to be prepared, sunscreen and bug spray are always a good idea. 

Friday the 13th Part III

Presented with Indy Film Fest. 

Fun and violent, this would-be finale for the series of Friday the 13th turned out to be just the beginning for Jason Vorhees. Part III marked the first time Voorhees’ iconic hockey mask would appear and marks the self-awareness Part IV and subsequent slasher films would use to make fun of themselves before critics could. Many tried and true horror tropes make appearances in this chilling summer blockbuster of ’82; see if you can spot them all! 

Directed by Steven Miner, 1982, 95 minutes, R.
