There was allegedly a comic book that bridged the gap between Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989) and this film. It followed Jason after he was dipped in toxic waste in a New York City sewer, walked his way back to Crystal Lake. It also supposedly explains why the FBI has a task force specifically for Jason, but producer Sean S. Cunningham and director Adam Marcus have stated that they made Jason Goes to Hell as a follow-up to the original Friday the 13th (1980), and mostly ignored everything from Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981) to Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989).

(at around 1h 9 mins) When Jessica first picks up the note out of the box crib, it says "I have what you want...", when Steven reads the note, it says "I have your baby..."

On the end of the credits, we hear the famous echo: "Ki-ki-ki...ma-ma-ma"
