Kenny Riedell

26 (CHP13)

**Kenny Riedell** is a counselor and the main protagonist of Friday the 13th: Jason's Rampage and Friday the 13th: Back from the Grave.

## Personality

Kenny is shown to be caring, outgoing, and not hesitant to stand up for others. As the head counselor, he believes he has a duty and responsibility to look after the well-being of his fellow counselors and the campers, allowing him to be a well-liked counselor within the campgrounds and gaining a strong sense of confidence.

Despite this, he can be quick to anger if someone offends him or another counselor in a certain way. Adam also noted that before Crystal Lake, Kenny didn't tend to think about the future, more about the present.

As of Back from the Grave, Kenny's personality had changed to an angry, troubled man who is suffering from PTSD and he has been shown to be more intelligent, logical, and slightly forgiving, but also at times, threatening and occasionally violent.

## Appearance

In Jason's Revenge, Kenny wears a red flannel shirt, knee high shorts, and hiking boots. Due to his skin color, he appears to be Latino. He is a little more muscular than Chad, but less lean.

In Back from the Grave, his appearance changed drastically due to depression, as he has longer, slicker hair, dark rings under his eyes, and a thicker beard. Eventually, near the end of the story, he suffered third degree burns and amputated his right arm.

At the end of Back from the Grave, Kenny has shaved his beard and trimmed his hair, and also has a prosthetic arm.

## Pre-Crystal Lake

Before hearing about Crystal Lake, Kenny had known Adam in high school, and they both were good friends.

Kenny and Adam were also among the trainees to be a part of the training session for the campgrounds, where Kenny placed first and gained the role of head counselor.

## Crystal Lake

Kenny was the first to arrive at Crystal Lake, and made decent progress before Brandon Wilson and Jenny Myers showed up and greeted him. He later is encountered by Vanessa Jones, who angrily asks where Brandon is. He then greets Eric LaChappa and Deborah Kim, and jokes about Eric's crush on Deborah, which Deborah is unaware of. He witnesses Chad Kensington nearly hit the two with his car, and proceeds to get into an argument stemming from Chad's jealousy of Kenny. Kenny then meets up with Adam and Rob Dier, and talks with them for a while until A.J. Mason arrives and Kenny assigns her to the archery range. He finally encounters Tiffany Cox, who grinds on Rob and proceeds to burst out laughing when Adam asks Rob if he needs to "get one out".

Kenny, A.J., and Rob then proceed to go and get dinner, where he tells the orders and informs A.J. of the death of Rob's sister. He proceeds to have a conversation with Adam over the counselor's interests with one another. Later, Kenny proceeds to briefly zone out, until Brandon snaps him out of it and Adam pokes fun at Tiffany's antics. Kenny also participated in truth or dare, and along with Chad, had lost the most clothes. He then proceeds to tell a story about Jason Voorhees and how Jason crawled out of hell.

Realizing that Rob hadn't returned with the beers, Kenny goes to confront him, and talks to Rob about Jason and Rob's sister. He then goes back to give Rob time, and is asked by Tiffany if he has any crushes, and he answers no, to which Chad mocks him for it. They then get into a heated argument, which escalates to Chad insulting Kenny's mother and Kenny shoving Chad and burning his scarf. Their fight is cut short when Rob appears and is abruptly killed by Jason, sending him, Deborah, Brandon, Chad, and Tiffany scattering.

Kenny ends up with Deborah in another cabin, and after comforting her, calls up Adam and tells him what happened and tells Adam to meet up with him. He then calls up Jenny, and is touched when Jenny tells him to get to her location safe. When Adam arrives with Eric, Vanessa, and Brandon, Adam confronts Kenny about decisions he has to make, and his way of thinking won't help. Kenny begins to get ideas, which Adam is happy about.

After arriving at Birch Ridge, Kenny talks to Jenny, and is informed that Chad and Tiffany went off to have sex. After asking Adam to pick the lock and getting annoyed at Adam's recklessness, he proceeds to angrily shout at Chad and Tiffany for having sex even though they are aware of Jason's presence. Kenny is eventually dragged away by Brandon, Adam, and Eric, and is punched by Brandon to snap him out of his anger. He later assigns everyone to different objectives, and originally assigns Adam and Deborah to help him with the cars, but is surprised when Chad offers to go with Kenny instead, and Kenny reluctantly agrees.

Chad proceeds to apologize, surprising Kenny as Chad had never apologized before. They then share a conversation where Chad denies being a momma's boy, but Kenny is able to see right through his lies. Eventually, Chad finds informs Kenny that the batteries and gas are missing from all the cars except for A.J.'s. Kenny and Chad then deduce that someone had sabotaged the cars, due to the lack of ripped wires. Kenny calls up Deborah, who reveals that Tiffany and Vanessa convinced her to sabotage the cars. Kenny angrily calls up Tiffany, and when Tiffany admits that she wanted to get the counselors to participate in an orgy, Kenny lashes out at her and accidentally triggers the car alarm on A.J.'s car.

Jason then ambushes them and throws a knife into Kenny's thigh. Kenny is nearly killed, but is saved by Chad. They are able to escape, and Kenny is patched up by Jenny after a bit of awkward conversation. Reluctantly, Kenny doesn't tell about the cars, and is embarrassed after Eric, Chad, Adam, Deborah, and Brandon begin thinking Jenny and Kenny are having sex. Kenny then hears Tiffany masturbating to him in another cabin, much to his embarrassment. The feeling is short lived, as he witnesses Jason go into the cabin Tiffany is in, and realizes that Tiffany left her radio, leaving her with no way to be contacted. He is then horrified and saddened when Tiffany is killed when her head flies through the window.

Kenny is briefly frozen in fear at Jason, but is saved by A.J. and makes it to the cabin. He attempts to comfort Chad over the death of Tiffany, but he angrily rebuffs him. Jenny attempts to admonish him, but Kenny prevents it. He then talks with Adam, A.J., Eric, and Deborah over ideas and realizes Vanessa is missing, sending Brandon into a panic until Vanessa arrives and passes out. Jenny then informs everyone that she found a radio, and Kenny proceeds to call up the person on the other side, and is able to contact Ranger Arnold Hubert. Arnold doesn't believe Kenny when he says Jason has returned, but Kenny is eventually able to get help from Tommy Jarvis.

Tommy later informs the counselors that the reception is poor, forcing Kenny, Brandon, and Eric to go and fix the phone box in order to fix the reception. Before arriving, Brandon hands Kenny a rifle, and Kenny and Brandon hold Eric up long enough for him to fix the phonebox. Jason however ambushes and kills Brandon, causing Kenny to drop Eric, resulting in Eric falling into a bear trap. They are saved by Tommy, and the three are able to escape to the cabin.

Kenny later informs Adam of Brandon's death, and joins up with A.J. and Adam, who made a spiked bat. Kenny tests it out, and enjoys it, and goes to talk to Jenny, who talks about Brandon's football dreams. He witnesses Vanessa try to rally the group to go after Jason, and sees Jason kill Vanessa. He then goes to block the door with Eric, Tommy, and Deborah. When Eric requests he gets left behind, Kenny is hesitant, but when he notices Eric's pale complexion, he reluctantly does so, and sees Eric get his head bashed in.

He then tells about Eric's death to Deborah, who had kissed him moments ago, devastating her. At Tommy's insistence, Kenny goes to talk to Chad, which results in Chad blaming Kenny for everything that had occurred. Kenny then witnesses Chad snap and begin threatening the group with Tommy's rifle. He also sees A.J. be shot dead by Chad, and when Chad is killed, Chad reaches out towards Kenny in possibly mercy or forgiveness.

Kenny, Tommy, Deborah, Adam, and Jenny escape, and after arriving at the next cabin, Kenny comforts Adam over A.J.'s death, and goes with Tommy, Deborah, and Jenny to Jason's shack. He is briefly repulsed by the head on the stump, and witnesses Deborah's death. He also proceeds to save Tommy from Jason by hitting Jason with the spiked bat used on Deborah. He then works with Adam to take Jason's mask off, and is nearly killed by Jason until Adam saves him. He then sees Adam get murdered by Jason, and begins running to the cops.

Kenny is able to get to the cops, where Tommy and Jenny carry out the plan to kill Jason, which succeeds, resulting in Kenny killing Jason with Jason's own pitchfork. Kenny, along with Jenny, are the only surviving counselors.

## Aftermath

Kenny, physically healed, is dealing with severe depression to the extent he refuses to leave the house, and eventually dropped out of college due to his classmates pestering him over Crystal Lake. He eventually went to go and get coffee one day until he encountered Benny Hummer, who forcefully attempted to interview him. When Kenny refused, Benny made a fake article on how Kenny assaulted him. As a result, Kenny got back in contact with Jenny and Tommy, and eventually, Kenny and Jenny began dating.

Jenny would tell Kenny to write letters to the deceased counselors in order to gain closure.

* He said that Rob was one of the best people he'd met, and hoped Rob was happy he avenged him.
* Kenny said that despite Tiffany's final moments, he understood what she was trying to do, forgiving her somewhat.
* The letter to Brandon reveals that Kenny showed a football scout his football tapes, and would've loved to have him on the team.
* Kenny reveals that despite not getting along with Vanessa, he admired her determination and wished someone could've saved her.
* Kenny's letter to Eric showed that he wished that he grabbed Eric before he hit the bear trap, and praised his politeness and sacrifice.
* A.J.'s letter shows that Kenny thought A.J. was a badass, and knew what it took to survive. He wished she hadn't died in a pointless way.
* Kenny states in his letter to Chad that despite his last moments not being great and them not getting along, Kenny wanted to get Chad out alive, but didn't forgive him.
* The letter to Deborah states that Kenny had a crush on Deborah, but held off on them in order to let Eric have her, and praised her intelligence.
* In Kenny's letter to Adam, Adam is described as the hardest to write, and had plans with him for the future, such as being the best man to his wedding.

Kenny was also revealed to have gained some items in order to get some closure.

* One of Tiffany's hairpins.
* Brandon's varsity jacket.
* Vanessa's hairtie.
* Eric's manga collection.
* A.J.'s music discs.
* One of Chad's scarves.
* Deborah's spare glasses.
* Adam's leather jacket.
* A photo from Rob detailing the counselors on the day they graduated.

At the end, Kenny is starting to gain closure after the events of Crystal Lake.

## Therapy

Despite all the efforts he went through, Kenny eventually relapsed and had an episode, and eventually lost contact with Tommy and Jenny. To remedy this, he got therapy from Randall Blackburne, who suggested that he slowly get closer to the woods where the original events of Crystal Lake occurred. Kenny later reveals that he felt nervous and angry, to which Blackburne reveals that Kenny is suffering from PTSD. Days later, as Kenny has began to grown more comfortable around the forest, Blackburne eventually accompanies him to the forest and finds a sign for Crystal Lake and requests he sees the campgrounds with Kenny, to which he reluctantly agrees. While there, Kenny revisits the areas where Jason, Rob, and Brandon died, all while hearing a snap nearby. Eventually, he comes to where Eric and Vanessa died, and Blackburne convinces him to pick up an object that is later revealed to be a piece of Eric's brain, causing Kenny to nearly have an episode and cause his trust in Blackburne to decrease.

## Pinehurst

Kenny makes his first present day appearance in a shuttle bus with Jenny, being driven to Pinehurst, a youth developmental center. After nearly having an awkward encounter with a sleeping Jenny, he is eventually greeted and given a tour by head of the center, Marco McBride. After some banter between them involving Marco explaining his wheelchair situation, Marco tells Kenny about the massacre of Pinehurst, which involved a Jason Voorhees impersonator, inadvertently triggering an episode from Kenny. Hearing Jason's name, Kenny began to hear voices of his dead friends and hack angrily at a log with an axe. Kenny proceeded to hack at the log until he was knocked out by either Johnny Myers, Mitch Floyd, or Lyle Miller.

A few hours later, he reunites with Jenny and upon realizing her condition, he is instantly regretful. Later, he and Jenny go down to breakfast with Mitch and after Jenny reunites with her brother, Johnny, he meets the residents and is warmly greeted by Jerry Devins. Moments later, Shaun Fennick would scare him with a hockey mask, leading to Kenny attacking him and Jerry, Mitch, and Francine "Fox" Charles restraining him and Jenny calming him down. He is present when Lyle and Daphne Craigson are brought in by police and when the residents are harassed by Bob Grissom and Edna Grissom. Bob then proceeded to make racist remarks towards Kenny and tip over Marco's chair, and his anger flares when it is revealed Benny Hummer had arrived. Benny then proceeded to harass Kenny and try to goad Kenny into attacking him, which Kenny is able to avoid. Eventually, Benny is scared off by Shaun, and moments later, Shaun admits to Kenny that the reason why he scared him is to avoid having flashbacks to the time he nearly died, which Kenny comforts him.

Later, Kenny is assigned to the garden with Mitch, Marion Parish, and Victoria Sanders. He then proceeds to talk with Victoria about gardening and Shaun's crush on her until Marion interrupts them by shoving Victoria down. As Victoria goes to confront her, Mitch begins talking and Kenny asks if Marion's always been like that and later Mitch explains how much he misses Francine. Later, Kenny goes swimming with the others except for Shaun, and is able to find Mitch's missing bong. When he asks how he lost it, Alicia Olivo explains that Mitch is the type of person to lose a bong in the lake. While in the water, Kenny and Jenny talk to each other, with Kenny apologizing over Jenny's condition, and as they're about to share a kiss, Marion interrupts, seeing Jenny as a threat towards her getting with Kenny. He then asks Alicia where she's going, to which she responds with going for a walk.

Dinner comes in a bit and Kenny is shown to be amused with Mitch's story and impressed with Jerry's cooking skills. After dinner, he confronts Victoria and Shaun as they're about to begin working on a grappling gun, and shows confusion on why a harpoon gun and bungee rope are on Pinehurst grounds. He then goes and talks to Jerry and his girlfriend, Selena Duncans, and proceeds to joke with them about their make-out session. He then encounters Lyle and Daphne, and Lyle invites him to head with him to the Grissom property, which Kenny declines and tells Lyle off as Lyle and Daphne could get them kicked out. This results in Lyle and Daphne insulting him, and Kenny decides to head back inside.

He sees Johnny and Jenny playing pool, and proceeds to help Jenny with pool, resulting in her sinking a ball. Johnny then confronts Kenny over Jenny's condition, and reveals he was sent for narcolepsy. After the conversation, Kenny heads to bed, but not before seeing Mitch and Francine joking around.

The next day, Kenny confronts Marco and upon hearing that both Alicia and Victoria (who were both murdered), haven't came home, he goes with Marco to where Victoria was previously, where he discovers where the harpoon gun was fired recently, and upon realizing a bucket of water has some blood colored water, he and Marco quickly head back to the house. When returning, Kenny finds Lyle, Daphne, Shaun, and Sierra Losecar in his room, with Lyle and Daphne going through his memorials of his dead friends and Lyle having taken the pins off of Adam's jacket, infuriating Kenny. When Kenny demands that Lyle put the pins on and when Lyle refuses, Kenny threatens him. As Lyle attempts to leave and knocks over a picture of Kenny and his friends, Kenny snaps and begins to brutally attack Lyle, beating his face against the wall and counter and slapping Daphne and pulling out some of her hair to get back Tiffany's pin and Vanessa's hair tie. After he is restrained and Daphne and Lyle are escorted out, Kenny begins to wonder if he's gone mad.

After the incident, Kenny is confronted by Marco, who explains that both Lyle and Kenny will be punished, and they proceed to look at Kenny's picture of his friends. After that, as they're about to go back to look for Victoria and Alicia, Sierra and Johnny inform them that both Grissoms have been murdered. He is later present with the others when Marco lays down the new rules, and is assigned with Lyle and Jerry to keep guard. Kenny later confronts Jenny over Johnny's possible fear of him, and asks her if he should've attacked Lyle, to which she states it's not an easy question. He later is about to kiss Jenny again, but is again interrupted by Marion, who proceeds to harshly mock Jenny, sending her to tears. After Kenny angrily rebuffs Marion's advances, he lashes out at Marco for believing he couldn't punish Marion harshly enough, even after Marco revealed that Marion's father provided funding for Pinehurst, and when Kenny accuses Marco of only caring about funding, Marco lashes back out at Kenny, much to his surprise.

After cheering up Jenny, he goes to confront and apologize to Marco, and while they're talking, Marco reveals that he still isn't used to being in a wheelchair, as it was the night he lost his brother, Garth McBride to a drunk driving incident. During the talk, Marco lashes out at Kenny, saying Kenny didn't understand him, and when Marco mentions he wanted to take Kenny's place, Kenny angrily shoves Marco out of his chair and yells at him, sending them both to tears. After apologizing to each other, they realize that Shelia, Jerry, Lyle, Selena, and Daphne had left.

After the others wake up, Marco explains that they need to leave, and reveals he keeps a spare set of keys at the Mulholland cabins. Kenny goes and eventually reaches the cabin the keys are at, but also finds the bodies of the missing counselors and the Grissoms, along with Benny Hummer. After grabbing the keys, he gets back to Pinehurst, but his victory is short lived as the killer arrives sporting a hockey and proceeds to murder Johnny. After escaping back inside and comforting Jenny, Kenny offers to go with Jenny on the boat while the others drive in Marco's car. However, Marion, angry over Kenny's care for Jenny, attempts to leave, which causes Kenny to witness the Jason imposter to slice her in half. While the others escape to the car, Kenny heads upstairs, but is quickly trapped and almost killed until Shaun saves Kenny at the cost of being slashed across the abdomen and tossed out a window. Kenny is able to run and help Shaun to Marco's car, and before he and Jenny can escape via boat, Kenny realizes the Pinehurst house is on fire. Not wanting to lose his possessions, Kenny confronts the imposter and after a battle, Kenny unmasks the imposter to reveal that the previously-thought dead Randall was behind the mask.

In disbelief, Kenny asks why, to which Randall reveals his terminal cancer and that Marco was the drunk driver that killed his son. After Randall tries to kill Kenny once more, they're both separated by a piece of wood. When Kenny goes to get his possessions, another piece of wood falls and crushes his arm and pins him down. Just as Kenny is about to give up and die, the apparitions of the Crystal Lake counselors convince him to fight, and Kenny eventually is able to amputate his arm and cauterize it on a water pipe. After using the possessions of his dead friends as armor, he is able to wound Randall by stabbing him with the machete Randall used to kill Marion, and despite Randall attempting to coax Kenny into killing him, Kenny refuses, stating he doesn't want to be like Randall. However, after regrouping with Jenny, Kenny is tackled into the water by Randall, and nearly drowned until Marco comes to save him at the cost of his own life. Before Kenny passes out, the last thing he sees is Marco smiling up at Kenny as he drags Randall down into the water.

## Post-Pinehurst

While unconscious, Kenny has a dream involving the dead counselors from Crystal Lake, and first encounters Rob, who thanks him for avenging him and his sister. He then sees Tiffany, and forgives her for causing the massacre to occur. He sees Brandon next, who shows gratitude over Kenny showing Brandon's tapes to a NFL official. Vanessa appears next, who apologizes for her behavior and reveals that after Kenny's showing against both Jason and Randall, she gained full respect for him. Next, he encounters Eric, and apologizes for not being able to save him, to which Eric reveals he did what he had to, and praises Kenny for using his manga as armor. A.J. then appears, and Kenny apologizes for the way she died, and A.J. reveals she and Chad made up, and that she never knew that Kenny was such a badass. Chad appears next, and tearfully apologizes for his actions, to which Kenny forgives him. Deborah then appears and kisses Kenny on the forehead and thanks him for giving up his crush for Eric, and thanks him for comforting her after Rob's death. Finally, Adam appears, and praises Kenny for surviving twice, and reveals that the afterlife is nice. After a tearful hug from the counselors, the counselors begin disappearing, with Adam revealing that Kenny will see them again soon.

Kenny then wakes up in a hospital, dealing with blood loss, hypothermia, and third degree burns, and the nurse reveals that Mitch, Francine, and Jenny were waiting for him. After they arrive, Kenny is relieved to find out that Shaun has survived, but after Mitch asks about Marco, Kenny reveals that Marco had died, causing Mitch to begin crying. After, he and Jenny finally share a kiss, with the trouble all over.

Three years later, Kenny is revealed to have shortened his head, shaved his beard, gained a prosthetic arm, and is about to be married to Jenny. He also assigns Mitch and Shaun as his groomsmen and Tommy as his best man. At the wedding, he encounters Francine, who is engaged to Mitch. He also encounters some of Tommy's old acquaintances, including his sister Trish Jarvis, Tommy's wife Megan Jarvis, former Pinehurst residents Reggie Winter and Pam Roberts, and Tommy's Father. When he is about to be wed to Jenny, Kenny notices the faces of the Crystal Lake counselors and the Pinehurst residents in the crowd, nearly bringing him to tears. In the end, it is revealed that Kenny and Jenny had three kids, Adam Riedell, Marco Riedell, and Johnny Riedell.
