Jason made his first cinematic appearance in the original Friday the 13th on May 9, 1980. In this film, Jason (Ari Lehman) is portrayed in the memories of his mother, Mrs. Voorhees (Betsy Palmer), and as a nightmare of the film's protagonist, Alice (Adrienne King).
Jason Voorhees first appeared in Friday the 13th (1980) as the young son of camp cook-turned-killer Mrs. Voorhees, in which he was portrayed by Ari Lehman. Created by Victor Miller, with contributions by Ron Kurz, Sean S.
There are 12 movies in the Friday the 13th/Jason horror film franchise, with eight of them, from 1980 to 1989, representing the classic Paramount Pictures Friday the 13th collection. Following this, New Line took over the rights and gave fans four very different, distinct Jason movies, including 2003's Freddy vs.
Friday the 13th: The Series was a spinoff that strangely didn't feature Jason Voorhees. Previous attempts to replace Jason proved unsuccessful. Ultimately, Friday the 13th: The Series had to establish its own unique identity without the Crystal Lake killer.
The Entire Friday The 13th Story Finally Explained
Who killed Jason Voorhees?
Jason killed his sister, Diana, and used the corpse to be reborn. He then attempted to kill his niece, Jessica, and her child, Stephanie, to make sure he cannot be destroyed. But Jessica Voorhees stabbed him with a special dagger and sent him straight to hell.
Roy Burns, later disguised as Jason Voorhees, is the main antagonist of the 1985 film Friday the 13th: A New Beginning. A soft-spoken loner, Roy is a paramedic who is partnered with fellow Paramedic Duke and he is the one who has been impersonating the mass murderer Jason Voorhees.
Jason. He was an almost completely silent, undead and seemingly unstoppable killing machine. Jason was an iconic madman who haunts Camp Crystal Lake and the surrounding area, driven to slaughter anyone he encounters by a burning need to avenge the death of his beloved mother, Pamela Voorhees.
Under the sack-mask, Jason rocks a full head of Hagrid-esque hair and a bushy beard that covers much of his face. His over all appearance looks equally inspired by The Hills Have Eyes and Deliverance.
The character's role in this film was greatly truncated from the original and she only appears in the beginning of the film moments before she is decapitated in front of her son Jason.
On Friday the 13th, the counselors hired to work there are killed off one by one. The killer: Pamela Sue Voorhees, whose 11-year-old son, Jason, allegedly drowned while swimming at the camp in 1957.
When he resurrects, he becomes more powerful. This power is somewhat similar to a Zenkai Boost (from Dragon Ball Z). Immortality: Jason can seemingly never die permanently for no matter what happens, he just keeps getting back up.
While the Finland Massacre may not have been Jason Voorhees' "real story," it seems that the murders of Camp Crystal Lake gleaned at least a little inspiration from the brutal murders at Lake Bodom in the 1960s. Friday the 13th is available to stream on Max.
Jason falls off the dock and Freddy's head and body sink into the lake, both seemingly dead. After dropping the machete where Jason submerged, Lori and Will leave. The next morning, Jason emerges from the lake, holding his machete and Freddy's head.
Pinhead from Hellraiser doesn't fit the slasher mold, but if it came down to kills, he would be on top. Michael Myers ultimately takes the crown for the highest kill count among slasher villains, with 161 kills compared to Jason Voorhees' 151 kills, thanks to the recent Halloween movies.
The Child's Play franchise is known for its brutal, high kill counts. Racking up the kills together from all seven movies, Chucky has killed a total of 67 people. For Chucky being a pint-sized killer doll, he has enough expertise and weapons to kill more people in Chucky season 2.
Pamela Voorhees is the overarching antagonist of the Friday the 13th franchise. She was known simply as Mrs. Voorhees, the mother of Jason Voorhees, who drowned to death as a child, which drove her to murder those who she deemed responsible. She was also the archenemy of Alice Hardy.
Diana Kimble (nee Voorhees) was Jason Voorhees's half-sister and the mother of Jessica Kimble. Diana, a longtime employee at Joey B.'s Diner, was killed by her own half-brother in 1993 before her corpse was used to give new life to his body.
When she later awakes, she finds Alice at the shore and attacks her once again. During the struggle, Alice gains the upper hand. Pamela's last look is one of horror as Alice attacks Pamela with her own machete, which decapitates her.
Apparently, after Jason's initial death from drowning, his mother found a book that could resurrect him. Thus, when he came back, he had otherworldly, super-powered abilities.
Why is Jason afraid of water? Back in 1957, when Jason was 11 years old, he supposedly drowned at Camp Crystal Lake. Later in the film, during Jason's nightmare in the dream world, Freddy was deep inside Jason's subconscious, and that is the only place where Jason actually has a fear of water.
