Character actor Walt Gorney was born on April 12, 1912 in Vienna, Austria. He came to the United States of America when he was ten years old and lived with his family in Massachusetts, USA. In 1946, Gorney moved to an apartment in Greenwich Village in New York City, USA. Gorney appeared in a handful of movies in minor roles; he was usually cast as bums or average working class types. With his lean, stringy build, gaunt face, croaky voice, and intense off center movie/film presence, Gorney was perfectly cast as local town eccentric and grim prophet of doom, Crazy Ralph in the horror classic Friday the 13th (1980). He returned as Crazy Ralph in Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) and did the opening narration for Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988). Outside of his regrettably sparse movie credits, Walt had a long and respectable career acting on the stage. Gorney was a member of the theatrical group, the Provincetown Players in the early 1950s. - IMDb Mini Biography By: woodyanders

Following the events of the night before, a badly injured and unmasked Jason Voorhees goes to a lakefront store for a change of clothes. While there, he murders the store owner Harold and his wife Edna. Ginny, who survived Jason, was taken to the hospital to recover! At the hospital, a paramedic develops an attraction to Ginny, but the head nurse limits the time he spends with her. After hearing a newsflash revealing Ginnie's location, Jason makes his way to the hospital, where he cuts the phone lines and slashes all the car tires so no one can escape and go for help. Wandering the halls in search of Ginnie, he kills the security guard, the doctor, and several nurses throughout the night. In her hospital room, Ginnie dreams about the time she defeated Jason. Paul, who has fully recovered, searched the hospital for Ginny, who is trying to evade Jason. Jason goes on a killing spree before finding Ginny, and Paul. Paul attempts to attack Jason, but Jason grabs him and crushes his skull with his bare hands, making one of his eyes pop out of its socket. Jason then attacks Ginny, who narrowly escapes the house and tries to flee in a hospital van. The van runs out of gas and Ginny makes her way to a Cemetary to hide, but Jason attacks her again. Ginny bashes Jason with a shovel, knocking him out. She assumes he is dead, only for him to decapitate her. It ends with Jason placing her head on a hook in his Shack.
