Vera Sanchez (portrayed by Catherine Parks) was a character from Friday the 13th - Part 3. She was the fifth person to die in the film and the fourteenth overall victim of the psychotic killer Jason Voorhees.

Vera was invited by Andy Beltrami and his Wild Bunch to join them for a summer of partying down at Higgins Haven near Crystal Lake. She had been set up as a blind date for Shelly Finkelstein, though she was somewhat off-put by his appearance and moreso by his habit of playing tasteless pranks on others using a special effects and makeup kit. She was momentarily impressed by Shelly's boldness, however, when he intentionally rammed his car into three parked motorcycles belonging to a gang that had harassed them at the convenience store.

Later that night, Vera and Shelly are alone in the house lounge and Shelly tries to talk to her. Vera makes it clear that she's not into him in a romantic sense and goes outside, sitting on the dock by the lake. She is later surprised when a stranger wearing a hockey mask suddenly emerges from the water and grabs her leg, but it turns out to be Shelly playing another practical joke. Vera then began to try to convince Shelly that such tactics were precisely the reason why she was not interested in him romantically, and that he might have a better chance with her if he were to act more like himself.

Vera 15

Shortly after her last encounter with Shelly, Vera realises that she still held onto Shelly's wallet since the convenience store. She looks inside to see a photo of Shelly and his mother, but she accidentally drops it into the water. She takes off her shoes and pulls up her leggings to go into the water to retrieve the wallet, but then she notices someone approaching the edge of the lake. The figure is wearing a hockey mask and Vera initially thinks it's Shelly, but it is actually Jason. Jason is carrying a spear gun and raises it to aim at Vera, firing off a spear that skewers Vera straight through her eye.
