QIs there a longer version available than the R-rated version?
AYes there is a longer version available. To obtain an R-Rating from the MPAA the original theatrical version had to be cut slightly. Until 2009, this was the only version available in the USA. It was released on Laserdisc, VHS and DVD. Because of the fact that "Friday the 13th" was released by another publisher in Europe (Warner instead of Paramount) the European version was uncut. In 2009, with the remake hitting the cinemas, a new DVD was released in the USA which for the first time in the US territory includes the unrated version.

AAlice tries to run from Mrs Voorhees (Betsy Palmer), who has now begun to exhibit the personality of her dead son, but she encounters more bodies. Alice tries to hide in the kitchen, but Mrs Voorhees finds her. She knocks out Mrs Voorhees with a frying pan and runs down to the lake, but Mrs Voorhees follows and tries to attack her with a machete. They roll around on the ground, biting and socking each other. Alice finally breaks free, picks up the machete, and beheads Mrs Voorhees. She then gets into one of the canoes and paddles out in the lake. The next morning, the police see her lying in the drifting canoe. Alice begins to wake up, but Jason suddenly rears up from the water and tips her canoe into the lake. In the final scene, Alice awakens in a hospital. She is informed that everyone else is dead. When she asks whether they got the boy in the water, the officer claims to have not seen a boy. "Then he's still out there," Alice exclaims with a look of fear in her eyes.
