Question
Here's one that has been plaguing me forever.I have found every other, "don't be afraid of the dark" etc. All i remember was someone getting an arrow in the throat in the woods against a tree. And it ain't Kevin bacon. Good luck.

Answer
Hi Mahkwi,

Kinda vague info there... though I will take a guess and say it's a scene from "Sleepaway Camp" from 1983. It does sound like the Friday the 13th film though, and also another movie  I'm rackin' my brain to remember. A review for "Sleepaway Camp" imdb.com follows:

"Robert Hiltzik's "Sleepaway Camp" is one of the most memorable slasher movies ever made.Of course the acting and dialogue are terrible,but writer/director Robert Hiltzik manages to create very creepy atmosphere throughout,the killings are original and gruesome and the ending is very shocking and twisted.Felissa Rose is marvelous as Angela,especially with her creepy stare."Sleepaway Camp" is a little bit different than your standard slasher fare-it's filled with strange and deviant characters,disturbing flashbacks and sexual subtexts.There is only a little bit of gore,still we do get an arrow through the neck,severed head,a bloody stabbing and death by hair curler.Overall,"Sleepaway Camp" is a fast-paced slasher flick with a wonderful central character of Angela.Highly recommended."

I doubt this is the movie you're talking about though, if I work it out I'll let you know. Sorry for the lack of help.
