Jason would not stay buried for long, as the success of "The Final Chapter" ensured another "Friday the 13th" film. Mancuso Sr. stated, "Quite simply, the public still wanted to see these films. So until they really stopped coming, why not continue to make more?" "A New Beginning" shifted the focus of the story to the character of Tommy Jarvis and how he battles his inner demons, hallucinations, and "rages to kill" after his ordeal with Jason in "The Final Chapter". This premise was not repeated, as the very next installment brought Jason back from the dead. "Jason Lives" attempted to create a "funnier, faster, and more action-packed [...] "Friday"" than had previously been done. The limited financial success of "Jason Lives" provided enough incentive to create another sequel, "The New Blood". The idea proposed by screenwriter Daryl Haney stemmed from his realization that the films always ended with Jason battling the "final girl". Haney decided that this final girl should have telekinetic powers, which led Producer Barbara Sachs to dub the film, "Jason vs. Carrie".
