Last night I watched 10 Friday the 13ths, and tried to count every trope and kill I saw.
Yesterday I spent 16 hours watching the 10 Friday the 13th Movies. I did not watch the remake or Freddy vs. Jason. This included:
Friday the 13th
Friday the 13th: Part 2
Friday the 13th: 3D
Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
Friday the 13th: A New Beginning
Friday the 13th: Jason Lives
Friday the 13th: The New Blood
Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan
Friday the 13th: Jason Goes to Hell
Friday the 13th: Jason X
While watching, I kept track of all the tropes, cliches, and kill stats I could with tallies. Here are my results...

Here is a rough google sheets I made tracking kills with general character types. I grouped some, like 3 cops in a row.
If I were to rank them in terms of enjoyment I'd say
1) The Final Chapter (#4)
2) 3D
3) Friday the 13th
4) Part 2
5) Jason Lives (#6)
6) The New Blood (#7)
7) Jason X (#10)
8) A New Beginning (#5)
9) Jason Takes Manhattan (#8)
10) Jason Goes to Hell (#9)
Disclaimers: -I watched all of these from 1 pm to 5 am. For the last 2 I did start watching them with beer, and it was fairly late.
-I may have missed a few unimportant deaths, and events. Things like 8 perverts, and 8 moments of car trouble are the minimums.
-The slut archtype was a little subjective. You could probably argue there is 24, but for that label I only included the ones who really fit it.
-There was more than 3 kids technically, but they focused on these ones.
-I probably could've stopped at 7, the next 3 really abandon the traditional format. I'd have fairly similar numbers minus some deaths.
