Plot
Following Jason Voorhees' release from Crystal Lake by the Tall Man, the undead hockey masked titan evades capture by the Shaitan, and retreats deep into the Crystal Lake woods, into a hidden cottage on the mountainous hills set up by his late mother.

The years pass until the present day and the Shaitan has captured all his 'contestants' minus Jason and Freddy Krueger. In collaboration with the Tall Man they formulate an unheard plan to lure Jason out fromthe wilderness of Crystal Lake after initially failing, when they send in a Deadite possessed Crystal Lake biker Tommen up to the Summit where Jason decapitates and dismembers him with his machete before retreating.

Vlogging hiker Ken Palmer is misdirected from Hackensack, New Jersey into Crystal Lake township, where he runs into a Dr. Herbert West at the local grocery, who recommends the hike of a lifetime with the Summit overlooking the town's titular lake, and former summer camp grounds. Ken proceeds towards the summit at the same time as visiting Springwood, Ohio youths on loan for community service after a Haddonfield Halloween prank gone wrong.

A Mrs. Mattson and juvenile correctional officer Wendy Cooke escort the group of seven: Jonas, Vanessa, Tate, Yohan, Zara, Jed and Faye to the old Camp Crystal Lake grounds, to help with it's renovations. A call for paramedics is made as they are presented with an injured Tall Man minion. The ambulance crashes as Jason launches a triage of arrows into through the windscreen and kills the driver Ross. The crash causes paramedic Elena to die as an injured Paramedic Janet crawls from the crash and is ultimately hacked at by Jason with his machete.

With this paramedic Lyle escapes the wreckage and into the woods injured himself.
