The movie's title, "A New Beginning", was chosen because it had been decided that Tommy would become the killer after his encounter with Jason in Venerdì 13 - Capitolo finale (1984), which was alluded to at the end of that film. Danny Steinmann was instructed to do two things with this movie: to deliver a shock, scare, or kill every seven or eight minutes, and, more importantly, to turn Tommy into Jason. The ending with Tommy about to kill Pam was not originally meant to be interpreted as a dream, and was instead intended to show that Tommy had gone crazy after his encounters with Jason. However, this plot twist was abandoned when fans demanded Jason's return, and thus he was resurrected in Venerdì 13: parte VI - Jason vive (1986). Had this film gone down well with fans, the producers would have brought John Shepherd and Melanie Kinnaman back for a direct sequel.
