Trivia: Tom Savini, who did the effects for the original film, returned to do the effects for this movie. As Savini had "created Jason" by doing the effects for the first movie, he felt it was appropriate that he should also be the one to definitively "kill Jason," as this was originally intended to be the final film.

Trivia: An early concept for the film was that Tommy was going to dabble in inventing gizmos and gadgets, which would have paid off at the end of the movie, as he would use them against Jason. One early concept was that Tommy would invent a weapon using parts of a microwave oven, and would use it to blow apart Jason's head during the final battle. Eventually, he was instead reworked into a monster fanatic who made creature masks.

Suggested correction: He didn't hate Feldman but strongly disliked him.
I don't really think that's a valid correction. That's basically just arguing over semantics. White has made his (very) negative feelings about Feldman known publicly on multiple occasions including the documentary "Crystal Lake Memories," (going so far as to say Feldman was a "mean little devil," that he "couldn't stand him" and that he "wanted to kill him desperately") so I think the trivia still stands as is.
