Jason Takes Manhattan, the eighth film in the series, picks up sometime after the end of the previous film, where Jason is resurrected again, this time by a cable tow. From there he boards upon the cruise ship Lazarus where he stays for most of the film, slashing its teenaged passengers who are aboard the vessel for their post-graduation senior class trip. Despite the title, only the last third of the film actually takes place in New York, and the majority of those sequences were filmed in Vancouver. The few brief scenes in Times Square and in New York Harbor are the only scenes actually filmed in New York.
