In Supernatural, vampires are killed by beheading.
In truth, knowing the name of any demon gives you power over it when it comes to banishing it. That's why it became much easier to defeat Bathsheba in the first Conjuring movie after Ed called out her name during the exorcism. It puts a sort of leash around the demon, and while it does not make victory assured, it does make harming the demon and removing it easier and safer for the host. Provided the host's and the exorcist's faith and conviction are strong enough, of course. Basic rule of magic: knowing a thing's true name gives you power over it, but often that only works once.
Some of these “weaknesses “ I’d just consider strategies/attempts to stop a villian.

Jason Voorhees doesn't have ANY weaknesses. It was only in the 2nd part that his mom's head made him rethink his life decisions lol. Jason has shown to be equally powerful outside Camp Crystal Lake based on his trip to Manhattan, Space etc. Also, he is NOT susceptible to drowning, burning, freezing, beheading etc. Jason Voorhees is the GOAT of slasher villains.

I love 15,10 and 4 because they're such good plot devices but my most favorite is 'closure' because that requires the central character to understand the entity to give it closure and that sometimes reveals a heartbreaking backstory like in The Haunting of Hill House.

Placing a talasman on the forehead of a yurei (Like Samara from the Ring) usually banishes them away. Or if you place a talasman on a door or window, they then can't come through. As for Michael Myers, he's a Slasher. A type of undead similar to a zombie or a vampire. And according to the Hack/Slash comic series, the only way to perminantly kill a slasher, is to completely crush the head until there is nothing but mush. Do that, and its garanteed they don't come back. Unless they are tied to a voodoo curse like Chucky or Victor Crowley. Lift the curse, then crush the head in their case.

Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers have the same weakness. They are susceptible to dismemberment. Nobody ever beheaded them because the fans do not want the franchises to end. All the survivors wanted more people to die later.
Freddy weakness: His bones being burned.
