Jason Voorhees () is a character from the Friday the 13th series. He 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. Cunningham and Tom Savini, Jason was not originally intended to carry the series as the main antagonist. The character has subsequently been represented in various other media, including novels, video games, comic books, and a crossover film with another iconic horror film character, Freddy Krueger.

The character has primarily been an antagonist in the films, whether by stalking and killing the other characters, or acting as a psychological threat to the protagonist, as in the case of Friday the 13th: A New Beginning. Since Lehman’s portrayal, the character has been represented by numerous actors and stuntmen, sometimes by more than one at a time; this has caused some controversy as to who should receive credit for the portrayal. Kane Hodder is the best known of the stuntmen to portray Jason Voorhees, having played the character in four consecutive films.

The character’s physical appearance has gone through many transformations, with various special makeup effects artists, including Stan Winston, making their mark on the character’s design. Tom Savini’s initial design has been the basis for many of the later incarnations. The trademark hockey goalie mask did not appear until Friday the 13th Part III. Since Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, filmmakers have given Jason superhuman strength, regenerative powers, and near invulnerability. Some interpretations suggest that the audience has empathy for Jason, whose motivation for killing has been cited as being driven by the immoral actions of his victims and his own rage over having drowned as a child. Jason Voorhees has been featured in various humor magazines, referenced in feature films, parodied in television series, and was the inspiration for a horror punk band. Several toy lines have been released based on various versions of the character from the Friday the 13th films. Jason Voorhees’s hockey mask is a widely recognized image in popular culture.

Appearances

Jason Voorhees first appears during a nightmare of the main character Alice Hardy (Adrienne King) in the original Friday the 13th film; he becomes the main antagonist of the series in its sequels. As well as the films, there have been books and comics that have either expanded the universe of Jason, or been based on a minor aspect of him.

Films

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). Although not a central character in the original movie, he is still the catalyst of the film’s plot—Mrs. Voorhees, the main antagonist, seeks revenge for her son’s drowning, which she blames on the irresponsible camp counselors.^[4] Jason’s second appearance was in the sequel, Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981). Revealed to be alive, an adult Jason exacts revenge on Alice for decapitating his mother in the original film. Jason (Steven Dash and Warrington Gillette) returns to Crystal Lake, living there as a hermit and guarding it from all intruders. Five years later a group of teenagers arrive to set up a new camp, only to be murdered one by one by Jason, who wears a sack over his head to hide his face. Ginny (Amy Steel), the lone survivor, finds a makeshift shack in the woods with a shrine built around the severed head of Mrs. Voorhees, and surrounded by corpses. Ginny fights back and slams a machete through Jason’s shoulder. He is left incapacitated as Ginny is taken away in an ambulance.^[5] In Friday the 13th Part III (1982), Jason (Richard Brooker) escapes to a nearby lake resort, Higgins Haven, to rest from his wounds. At the same time, Chris Higgins (Dana Kimmell) returns to family property with some acquaintances. An unmasked and reclusive Jason kills anyone who wanders into the barn where he is hiding. Taking a hockey mask from a victim to hide his face, he leaves the barn to kill the rest of the group. Chris fends off Jason by slamming an axe into his head, but the night’s events drive her into hysteria as the police take her away.^[6]

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984) continues the story, with a presumed-dead Jason (Ted White) found by the police and taken to the morgue. Jason awakens at the morgue and kills the coroner and a nurse, and makes his way back to Crystal Lake. A group of teens renting a house there fall victim to Jason’s rampage. Jason then seeks out Trish (Kimberly Beck) and Tommy Jarvis (Corey Feldman) next door. While Trish distracts Jason, Tommy finally kills him with a machete.^[7] Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1985) follows Tommy Jarvis (John Shepherd), who was committed to a mental hospital after the events of The Final Chapter, and has grown up constantly afraid that Jason (Tom Morga) will return. Jason’s body was supposedly cremated after Tommy killed him. Roy Burns (Dick Wieand) uses Jason’s persona to become a copycat killer at the halfway home to which Tommy was moved. Jason appears in the film only through Tommy’s dreams and hallucinations.^[8] In Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives (1986), Tommy (Thom Mathews), who has run away from a mental institution, visits Jason’s grave and learns that Jason’s body was never actually cremated, but buried in a cemetery near Crystal Lake. While attempting to destroy his body, Tommy inadvertently resurrects Jason (C. J. Graham) via a piece of cemetery fence that acts as a lightning rod. Now possessing superhuman abilities, Jason returns to Crystal Lake, renamed Forest Green, and begins his killing spree anew. Tommy eventually lures Jason back to the lake where he drowned as a child and chains him to a boulder on the lake floor, but almost dies in the process. Tommy’s friend, Megan Garris (Jennifer Cooke), finishes Jason off by cutting his neck with a boat propeller.^[9]

Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988) begins an undisclosed amount of time after Jason Lives. Jason (Kane Hodder) is inadvertently freed from his chains by the telekinetic Tina Shepard (Lar Park Lincoln), who was attempting to resurrect her father. Jason begins killing those who occupy Crystal Lake, and after a battle with Tina, is dragged back to the bottom of the lake by an apparition of Tina’s father.^[10] Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (1989) sees Jason return from the grave, brought back to life via an underwater electrical cable. He follows a group of students on their senior class trip to Manhattan, boarding the Lazarus to wreak havoc. Upon reaching Manhattan, Jason kills all the survivors but Rennie (Jensen Daggett) and Sean (Scott Reeves); he chases them into the sewers, where he is submerged in toxic waste and dies.^[11] In Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993), through an unexplained resurrection, he returns to Crystal Lake where he is hunted by the FBI. The FBI sets up a sting to kill Jason, which proves successful. However, through mystical possession, Jason survives by passing his demon-infested heart from one being to the next. Though Jason does not physically appear throughout most of the film, it is learned he has a half-sister and a niece, and that he needs them to retrieve and reinhabit his body. After resurrecting it, Jason is stabbed by his niece Jessica Kimble (Kari Keegan) and dragged into Hell.^[12]

Jason X (2001)^[13] marked Kane Hodder’s last performance as Jason. The film starts off in 2010; Jason has returned after another unexplained resurrection. Captured by the U.S. government in 2008, Jason is being experimented upon in a research facility, where it has been determined that he has regenerative capabilities and that cryonic suspension is the only possible solution to stop him, since numerous attempts to execute him have proved unsuccessful. Jason escapes, killing all but one of his captors, and slices through the cryo-chamber, spilling cryonics fluid into the room, freezing himself and the only other survivor, Rowan (Lexa Doig). A team of students 445 years later discover Jason’s body. On the team’s spacecraft, Jason thaws from his cryonic suspension and begins killing the crew. Along the way, he is enhanced by a regenerative nanotechnology process, which gives him an impenetrable metal body. Finally, he is ejected into space and falls to the planet Earth Two, incinerated in the atmosphere.^[14]

Freddy vs. Jason (2003) is a crossover film in which Jason battles A Nightmare on Elm Street‘s villain Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), a supernatural killer who murders people in their dreams. Krueger has grown weak, as people in his home town of Springwood have suppressed their fear of him. Freddy, who is impersonating Jason’s mother (Paula Shaw), resurrects Jason (Ken Kirzinger) from Hell and sends him to Springwood to cause panic and fear. Jason accomplishes this, but refuses to stop killing. A battle ensues in both the dream world and Crystal Lake. The identity of the winner is left ambiguous, as Jason surfaces from the lake holding Freddy’s severed head, which winks and laughs.^[15]

In the 2009 Friday the 13th reboot, young Jason (Caleb Guss) witnesses his mother’s (Nana Visitor) beheading as a child and follows in her footsteps, killing anyone who comes to Crystal Lake. The adult Jason (Derek Mears) kidnaps Whitney Miller (Amanda Righetti), a girl who looks like his mother, and holds her prisoner in his tunnels. Months later, Whitney’s brother Clay (Jared Padalecki) comes to Crystal Lake and rescues her. Eventually, Whitney uses Jason’s devotion to his mother against him, stabbing him with his own machete while he is distracted when she appears. When his body is dumped into the lake, Jason emerges from the water to grab Whitney and their fates are left unknown.^[16]

Literature

Jason first appeared outside of film in the 1982 novelization of Friday the 13th Part 3 by Michael Avallone.^[17] Avallone chose to use an alternate ending, which was filmed for Part 3 but never used, as the ending for his 1982 adaptation. In the alternate film ending, Chris, who is in the canoe, hears Rick’s voice and immediately rushes back to the house. When she opens the door, Jason is standing there with a machete, and he decapitates her.^[18] Jason next appears in print in the 1986 novelization of Jason Lives by Simon Hawke,^[19] who also adapted the first three films in 1987 and 1988.^[20][21][22] Jason Lives specifically introduced Elias Voorhees, Jason’s father, a character who was slated to appear in the film but was cut by the studio. In the novel, instead of being cremated, Elias has Jason buried after his death.^[23]

Jason made his comic book debut in the 1993 adaptation of Jason Goes to Hell, written by Andy Mangels. The three-issue series was a condensed version of the film, with a few added scenes that were never shot.^[24] Jason made his first appearance outside of the direct adaptations in Satan’s Six No. 4, published in 1993, which is a continuation of the events of Jason Goes to Hell.^[25] In 1995, Nancy A. Collins wrote a three-issue, non-canonical miniseries involving a crossover between Jason and Leatherface. The story involves Jason stowing away aboard a train, after being released from Crystal Lake when the area is drained due to heavy toxic-waste dumping. Jason meets Leatherface, who adopts him into his family after the two become friends. Eventually they turn on each other.^[26] In 1994, four young adult novels were released under the title of Friday the 13th. They did not feature Jason explicitly, but revolve around people becoming possessed by Jason when they put on his mask.^{[27][28][29][30]}

In 2003 and 2005, Black Flame published novelizations of Freddy vs. Jason and Jason X respectively.^[31][32] In 2005, they began publishing a new series of novels; one set was published under the Jason X title, while the second set utilized the Friday the 13th title. The Jason X series consisted of four sequels to the novelization of the film. Jason X: The Experiment was the first published. In this novel, Jason is being used by the government, who are trying to use his indestructibility to create their own army of «super-soldiers».^[33] Planet of the Beast follows the efforts of Dr. Bardox and his crew as they try to clone the body of a comatose Jason, and shows their efforts to stay alive when Jason wakes from his coma.^[34] Death Moon revolves around Jason crash-landing at Moon Camp Americana.^[35] Jason is discovered below a prison site and unknowingly awakened in To The Third Power. Jason has a son in this book, conceived through a form of artificial insemination.^[36]

On May 13, 2005, Avatar Press began releasing new Friday the 13th comics. The first, titled Friday the 13th, was written by Brian Pulido and illustrated by Mike Wolfer and Greg Waller. The story takes place after the events of Freddy vs. Jason, where siblings Miles and Laura Upland have inherited Camp Crystal Lake. Knowing that Jason caused the recent destruction, Laura, unknown to her brother, sets out to kill Jason using a paramilitary group, so that she and her brother can sell the property.^[37] A three-issue miniseries titled Friday the 13th: Bloodbath was released in September 2005. Written by Brian Pulido and illustrated by Mike Wolfer and Andrew Dalhouse, the story involves a group of teenagers who come from Camp Tomorrow, a camp that sits on Crystal Lake, for work and a «party-filled weekend». The teenagers discover they share common family backgrounds, and soon awaken Jason, who hunts them.^[38] Brian Pulido returned for a third time in October 2005 to write Jason X. Picking up after the events of the Jason X film, Über-Jason is now on Earth II where a biological engineer, Kristen, attempts to subdue Jason, in hopes that she can use his regenerative tissue to save her own life and the lives of those she loves.^[39] In February 2006, Avatar published Friday the 13th: Jason vs. Jason X. Written and illustrated by Mike Wolfer, the story takes place after the events of the film Jason X. A salvage team discovers the spaceship Grendel and awakens a regenerated Jason Voorhees. The «original» Jason and Über-Jason are drawn to each other, resulting in a battle to the death.^[40] In June 2006, a one-shot comic entitled Friday the 13th: Fearbook was released, written by Mike Wolfer with art by Sebastian Fiumara. The comic has Jason being captured and experimented upon by the Trent Organization; Jason escapes and seeks out Violet, the survivor of Friday the 13th: Bloodbath, who is being contained by the Trent Organization in their Crystal Lake headquarters.^[41]

The Friday the 13th novella storyline was not connected to the Jason X series, and did not continue the stories set forth by the films, but furthered the character of Jason in its own way. Friday the 13th: Church of the Divine Psychopath has Jason resurrected by a religious cult.^[42] Jason is stuck in Hell, when recently executed serial killer Wayne Sanchez persuades Jason to help him return to Earth in Friday the 13th: Hell Lake.^[43] In Hate-Kill-Repeat, two religious serial killers attempt to find Jason at Crystal Lake, believing that the three of them share the same contempt for those that break the moral code.^[44] In The Jason Strain, Jason is on an island with a group of convicts placed there by television executives running a reality game show.^[45] The character of Pamela Voorhees returns from the grave in Carnival of Maniacs. Pamela is in search of Jason, who is now part of a traveling sideshow and about to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.^[46]

In December 2006, DC Comics imprint Wildstorm began publishing new comic books about Jason Voorhees under the Friday the 13th moniker. The first set was a six-issue miniseries involving Jason’s return to Camp Crystal Lake, which is being renovated by a group of teenagers in preparation for its reopening as a tourist attraction. The series depicts various paranormal phenomena occurring at Crystal Lake. Jason’s actions in this storyline are driven by the vengeful spirits of a Native American tribe wiped out on the lake by fur traders sometime in the 19th century.^[47][48] On July 11 and August 15, 2007, Wildstorm published a two-part special entitled Friday the 13th: Pamela’s Tale. The two-issue comic book covers Pamela Voorhees’ journey to Camp Crystal Lake and the story of her pregnancy with Jason as she recounts it to hitchhiker Annie, a camp counselor who was killed in the original film.^[49] Wildstorm released another two-part special, entitled Friday the 13th: How I Spent My Summer Vacation, that was released on September 12 and October 10, 2007. The comic book provides new insight into the psychology of Jason Voorhees as he befriends a boy born with a skull deformity.^[50] Wildstorm released a six-issue series called Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash, starring the two killers and Ash from the Evil Dead series. In this story, Freddy uses the Necronomicon, which is in the Voorhees’ basement, to escape from Jason’s subconscious and «gain powers unlike anything he’s had before». Freddy attempts to use Jason to retrieve the book, stating it will make him a real boy. Ash, who is working at the local S-Mart in Crystal Lake, learns of the book’s existence and sets out to destroy it.^[51] Wildstorm released another two-issue miniseries on January 9 and February 13, 2008, titled Friday the 13th: Bad Land, written and illustrated by Ron Marz and Mike Huddleston respectively. The miniseries features Jason stalking a trio of teenaged hikers taking shelter from a blizzard in Camp Crystal Lake.^[52]

A sequel to Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash, subtitled The Nightmare Warriors, was released by Wildstorm in 2009. Jason escapes from the bottom of Crystal Lake to resume his hunt for Ash, but is captured by the U.S. government. Freddy helps him escape and appoints him the general of his Deadite army, using the Necronomicon to heal his accumulated injuries and decomposition; it removes his natural deformities in the process. At the climax of the story, Jason battles his nemesis Tommy Jarvis and his great-niece Stephanie Kimble; Stephanie impales him before Tommy decapitates him with a shard of glass. Jason’s soul is then absorbed by Freddy, who uses it to increase his own power.^[53]

Other appearances

Jason has made an appearance in five video games. He first appeared in Friday the 13th, a 1985 Commodore 64 game.^[54] His next appearance was in 1989, when LJN, an American game company known for its games based on popular movies in the 1980s and early 1990s, released Friday the 13th on the Nintendo Entertainment System. The premise involved the gamer, who picks one of six camp counselors as their player, trying to save the campers from Jason, while battling various enemies throughout the game.^[55] On October 13, 2006, a Friday the 13th game was released for mobile phones. The game puts the user in the persona of Jason as he battles the undead.^[56] Jason also appears as a playable character in the fighting game Mortal Kombat X as a downloadable content bonus character.^[57] A new Friday the 13th video game was released in 2017, which allows players to take control of Jason or camp counselors in a multiplayer format focused on Jason trying to kill the counselors before they can escape or time runs out.^[58]

Concept and creation

Creating a monster

Initially created by Victor Miller, Jason’s final design was a combined effort by Miller, Ron Kurz, and Tom Savini.^[59] The name «Jason» is a combination of «Josh» and «Ian», Miller’s two sons, and «Voorhees» was inspired by a girl that Miller knew at high school whose last name was Voorhees. Miller felt it was a «creepy-sounding name», which was perfect for his character.^[59] Miller initially wrote Jason as a normal-looking child, but the crew behind the film decided he needed to be deformed. Victor Miller explained Jason was not meant to be a creature from the «Black Lagoon» in his script, and scripted Jason as a mentally disabled young boy; it was Savini who made Jason deformed.^[60] Ron Kurz confirmed that Miller’s version of Jason was that of a normal child, but claims that it was his idea to turn Jason into a «mongoloid creature», and have him «jump out of the lake at the end of the film».^[59] Miller later agreed the ending would not have been as good if he looked like «Betsy Palmer at eight years old».^[61] Miller wrote a scene where Alice dreams she is attacked in a canoe by Jason, and then she wakes up in a hospital bed. Miller’s intention was to get as close to Carrie‘s ending as possible.^[60] Savini believed having Jason pop out of the lake would be psychologically disturbing to the audience, and since Alice is supposed to be dreaming, the crew could get away with adding anything they wanted.^[60]

When it came time to cast the role of Jason, Ari Lehman, who had received a part in Sean Cunningham’s Manny’s Orphans,^[62] arrived to read for the character of Jack. Before he could get started, Cunningham walked in and offered him a different part: Jason. Without having read a single word, Cunningham just looked at Ari and said, «You’re the right size, you’ve got it.»^[60] In the original Friday the 13th, Ari Lehman is seen only in a brief flashback as the surprise ending.^[63] Subsequent actors who portrayed a young Jason include Timothy Burr Mirkovich in Jason Takes Manhattan and Spencer Stump in Freddy vs. Jason. The adult role of Jason Voorhees has been played by various actors, some not credited, others taking great pride in their parts. Due to the physical demands the adult character requires, and the lack of emotional depth depicted, many of the actors since have been stuntmen. The most well known among them is Kane Hodder, who is cited as the best to play the role.^[64][65]

Many ideas were suggested for the sequel to Friday the 13th, including making the title part of a serialized film series, where each succeeding film would be its own story and not related to any previous film under the Friday the 13th moniker.^[63] It was Phil Scuderi, one of the producers for the original film, who suggested bringing Jason back for the sequel. The director Steve Miner felt it was the obvious direction to take the series, as he felt the audience wanted to know more about the child who attacked Alice in the lake. Miner decided to pretend as if Alice did not see the «real Jason» in her dream, and Jason had survived his drowning as a boy and had grown up.^[63] After killing Jason in The Final Chapter, it was the director Joseph Zito’s intention to leave the door open for the studio to make more films with Tommy Jarvis as the main antagonist. Screenwriter Barney Cohen felt Jarvis would become a substitute for Jason, but the idea was never fully developed in A New Beginning.^[66] Director and co-screenwriter Danny Steinmann disliked the idea of Jason not being the killer, but decided to use Tommy’s fear of Jason as the primary story.^[66] This idea was immediately abandoned in Jason Lives, when A New Beginning did not spark the «creative success» the studio was looking for. Executive producer Frank Mancuso Jr. wanted to bring Jason back, and he did not care how it was achieved.^[67] In yet another alteration of the series’ continuity, Tom McLoughlin chose to ignore the idea that Jason had survived his drowning, instead presenting him as always having been some sort of supernatural force. Since A New Beginning, no sequel has attempted to replace Jason as the main antagonist. Miller, who has not seen any of the sequels, took issue with all of them because they made Jason the villain. Miller believes the best part of his screenplay was that it was about a mother avenging the senseless death of her son. Miller stated, «Jason was dead from the very beginning; he was a victim, not a villain.»^[68]

Men behind the mask

Jason Voorhees went from deceased child to full-grown man for Friday the 13th Part 2, and Warrington Gillette was hired to play the role. Gillette auditioned for the role of Paul; that role eventually went to John Furey. Under the belief that he had attended the Hollywood Stuntman’s School, Gillette was offered the role of Jason Voorhees.^[69] Initially Gillette was unsure about the character, but the idea of starring in his first film grew on Gillette,^[70] and he also thought the role was amusing.^[69] It became apparent Gillette could not perform the necessary stunts, so the stunt coordinator Cliff Cudney brought in Steve Daskawisz.^[71] Daskawisz filmed all of the scenes except the opening sequence and the unmasking shot at the end; Gillette returned for the unmasking scenes. Gillette received credit for playing Jason, while Daskawisz was given credit as the stunt double. When Part 3 was released the following year, Daskawisz was credited as Jason for the reused footage from the climax of the film.^[6] Initially, Daskawisz was asked to return to the role for Part 3, but it would have required him to pay for his own transportation and housing during filming. Having secured a part on Guiding Light, Daskawisz declined.^[71]

Now wanting a «bigger and stronger-looking» Jason, one that was also «more athletic and powerful», Steve Miner hired former British trapeze artist Richard Brooker. After a conversation, Miner decided he was the right person for the job. Being new to the country, Brooker believed that «playing a psychopathic killer» was the best way into the movie business. Brooker became the first actor to wear Jason’s now-signature hockey mask. According to Brooker, «It felt great with the mask on. It just felt like I really was Jason because I didn’t have anything to wear before that.»^[72] For The Final Chapter, Joseph Zito brought his own spin to the character, one that required a «real hardcore stuntman»; Ted White was hired to perform the role.^[73] White, who only took the job for the money, did «get into the Jason psychology» when he arrived on the set. White went so far as to not speak to any of the other actors for long stretches.^[73] As filming continued, White’s experience was not pleasant, and in one instance, he went to battle for co-star Judie Aronson, who played Samantha, when the director kept her naked in the lake for extended periods of time. Displeased with his experience from filming, White had his name removed from the credits.^[74] As with Friday the 13th Part 2, there was confusion over who performed the role in A New Beginning, partly because Jason is not the literal antagonist in the film. When Ted White turned down the opportunity to return, Dick Wieand was cast.^[75] Wieand is credited as Roy Burns, the film’s actual murderer, but it was stuntman Tom Morga who performed in the few flashes of Jason, as well as portraying Roy in almost all of the masked scenes.^[76] Wieand has been outspoken about his lack of enthusiasm over his role in the film. Feeling alienated during the shoot, Wieand spent most of his time in his trailer.^[76] By comparison, Morga enjoyed his time as Jason and made sure he «really got into the character».^[75]

A nightclub manager in Glendale, C. J. Graham, was interviewed for the role of Jason in Jason Lives, but was initially passed over because he had no experience as a stuntman.^[77] Dan Bradley was hired, but Paramount executives felt Bradley did not have the right physique to play the role, and Graham was hired to replace him.^[78] Although Bradley was replaced early during filming, he can be seen in the paintball sequence of the film.^[23] Graham opted to perform most of his own stunts, including the scene where Jason catches on fire while battling Tommy in the lake.^[78] The rest of the cast spoke highly of Graham, remarking that he never complained during all the uncomfortable situations he was placed in. Graham had no intention of being an actor or a stuntman, but the idea of playing the «bad guy», and the opportunity to wear the prosthetics, intrigued him. Graham was not brought back to reprise the role, but has often been cited as speaking highly of his time in the part.^[77]

Kane Hodder took over the role in The New Blood, and played Jason in the next four films. He previously worked alongside director John Carl Buechler on a film called Prison. Based on his experience working with Hodder, Buechler petitioned Frank Mancuso Jr. to hire him, but Mancuso was apprehensive about Hodder’s limited size. Knowing he planned to use full body prosthetics, Buechler scheduled a test screening, the first in Friday the 13th history for the character, and Mancuso immediately gave Hodder approval upon seeing him.^[79] It is Buechler’s contention that Hodder gave Jason his first true personality, based on the emotions, specifically the rage, that Hodder would emit while acting the part.^[79] According to Hodder, he wanted to «get in touch with Jason’s thirst for revenge» and try to better understand his motivation to kill.^[80] After viewing the previous films, Hodder decided that he would approach Jason as a more «quick and agile» individual than he had been portrayed in the previous sequels.^[80] John Carl Buechler felt that Kane had «natural affinity for the role»—so much that Kane’s appearance, when wearing the mask, would often terrify the cast, the crew, and in one incident a lone stranger that he came across on his walk back to his trailer.^[80] Initially Frank Mancuso Jr. and Barbara Sachs planned to use a Canadian stuntperson for Jason Takes Manhattan. Hodder acted as his own voice, calling and requesting that he be allowed to reprise the role; the ultimate decision was left to director Rob Hedden, who intended to use Hodder, because he felt Hodder knew the lore of the series.^[81] With Sean Cunningham’s return as producer for Jason Goes to Hell, Hodder felt his chances of reprising the role were even better: Hodder had worked as Cunningham’s stunt coordinator for years.^[82] Regardless, Adam Marcus, the director for Jason Goes to Hell, always intended to hire Hodder for the role.^[82] Jason X would mark Hodder’s last performance as Jason, to date. Todd Farmer, who wrote the screenplay for Jason X, knew that Hodder would play Jason from the beginning. Jim Isaac was a fan of Hodder’s work on the previous films, so hiring him was an easy decision.^[83]

New Line believed Freddy vs. Jason needed a fresh start, and choose a new actor for Jason. Cunningham disagreed with their decision, believing Hodder was the best choice for the role.^[84] Hodder did receive the script for Freddy vs. Jason, and had a meeting with director Ronny Yu and New Line executives, but Matthew Barry and Yu felt the role should be recast to fit Yu’s image of Jason.^[84] According to Hodder, New Line failed to provide him with a reason for the recasting, but Yu has explained he wanted a slower, more deliberate Jason, and less of the aggressive movements that Hodder had used in the previous films.^[85] Yu and development executive Jeff Katz recognized the outcry among fans over the replacement of Hodder as Jason, but stood by their choice in recasting.^[84]

The role eventually went to Ken Kirzinger, a Canadian stuntman who worked on Jason Takes Manhattan. There are conflicting reports over the reason Kirzinger was cast. According to Yu, Kirzinger was hired because he was taller than Robert Englund, the actor who portrays Freddy Krueger. Kirzinger stands 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m), compared to the 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m) of Kane Hodder, and Yu wanted a much larger actor to tower over the 5-foot-10-inch (1.78 m) Englund. Kirzinger believes his experience on Part VIII helped him land the part, as Kirzinger doubled for Hodder on two scenes for the film,^[84] but also believes he was simply sized up and handed the job.^[85] Although he was hired by the creative crew, New Line did not officially cast Kirzinger until first seeing him on film. Kirzinger’s first scene was Jason walking down Elm Street. New Line wanted a specific movement in Jason’s walk; Kirzinger met their expectations and signed a contract with the studio.^[84] However, concerns that test audiences were confused by the film’s original ending caused the studio to reshoot the final scene. Actor Douglas Tait was brought in to film the new ending, as he was available for the reshoot and had been the production’s second choice to portray the role of Jason during the original casting.^[86]

For the 2009 remake, stuntman Derek Mears was hired to portray Jason Voorhees at the recommendation of makeup special effects supervisor Scott Stoddard.^[87] Mears’s pleasant demeanor had the studio worried about his ability to portray such a menacing character on screen, but Mears assured them he would be able to perform the role.^[88] When Mears auditioned for the role he was asked why they should hire an actor over just another guy in a mask. As Mears explained, portraying Jason is similar to Greek mask work, where the mask and the actor are two separate entities, and, based on the scene, there will be various combinations of mask and actor in the performance.^[89]

Design

The physical design of Jason Voorhees has gone through changes, some subtle and some radical. For Friday the 13th, the task of coming up with Jason’s appearance was the responsibility of Tom Savini, whose design for Jason was inspired by someone Savini knew as a child whose eyes and ears did not line up straight.^[60] The original design called for Jason to have hair, but Savini and his crew opted to make him bald,^[59] so he would look like a «hydrocephalic, mongoloid pinhead», with a dome-shaped head.^[60] Savini created a plaster mold of Ari Lehman’s head and used that to create prosthetics for his face.^[59] Lehman personally placed mud—from the bottom of the lake—all over his body to make himself appear «really slimy.»^[59]

For Part 2, Steve Miner asked Carl Fullerton, the make-up effects supervisor, to stick to Savini’s original design, but Fullerton only had one day to design and sculpt a new head. Fullerton drew a rough sketch of what he believed Jason should look like, and had it approved by Miner.^[69] Fullerton added long hair to the character. Gillette had to spend hours in a chair as they applied rubber forms all over his face, and had to keep one eye closed while the «droopy eye» application was in place. Gillette’s eye was closed for twelve hours at a time while he was filming the final scenes of the film. False teeth created by a local dentist were used to distort Gillette’s face.^[69] Much of the basic concept of Fullerton’s design was eliminated for Part 3. Miner wanted to use a combination of the designs from Tom Savini and Carl Fullerton, but as work progressed the design began to lean more and more toward Savini’s concept.^[90] Stan Winston was hired to create a design for Jason’s head, but the eyes were level and Doug White, the make-up artist for Part 3, needed a droopy right eye. White did keep Winston’s design for the back of the head, because the crew did not have the time to design an entirely new head for Jason.^[90] The process of creating Jason’s look was hard work for White, who had to constantly make alterations to Richard Brooker’s face, even up to the last day of filming.^[90]

The script for Part 3 called for Jason to wear a mask to cover his face, having worn a bag over his head in Part 2; what no one knew at the time was that the mask chosen would become a trademark for the character, and one instantly recognizable in popular culture in the years to come.^[91] During production, Steve Miner called for a lighting check. None of the effects crew wanted to apply any make-up for the light check, so they decided to just throw a mask on Brooker. The film’s 3D effects supervisor, Martin Jay Sadoff, was a hockey fan, and had a bag of hockey gear with him on the set. He pulled out a Detroit Red Wings goaltender mask for the test.^[92] Miner loved the mask, but it was too small. Using a substance called VacuForm, Doug White enlarged the mask and created a new mold to work with. After White finished the molds, Terry Ballard placed red triangles on the mask to give it a unique appearance. Holes were punched into the mask and the markings were altered, making it different from Sadoff’s mask.^[92] There were two prosthetic face masks created for Richard Brooker to wear underneath the hockey mask. One mask was composed of approximately 11 different appliances and took about six hours to apply to Brooker’s face; this mask was used for scenes where the hockey mask was removed. In the scenes where the hockey mask is over the face, a simple head mask was created. This one-piece mask would slip on over Brooker’s head, exposing his face but not the rest of his head.^[92]

Tom Savini agreed to return to make-up duties for The Final Chapter because he felt he should be the one to bring Jason full circle in terms of his look from child to man.^[93] Savini used his design from the original Friday the 13th, with the same practice of application as before, but molded from Ted White’s face. Since Jason is not the actual killer in A New Beginning, it was not necessary to do any major designing for Jason’s look. Only a head mask to cover the top and back of the head, like the one Brooker wore while wearing the hockey mask, was needed for the film. Make-up artist Louis Lazzara, who cites A New Beginning as almost a direct sequel to The Final Chapter, did base his head-mask on Tom Savini’s design for The Final Chapter.^[94]

Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood sought to make Jason more of a «classic monster along the lines of Frankenstein.»^[95] From the beginning, Buechler tried to tie the previous films together by having Jason’s appearance reflect that of the damage he received in the previous installments. Buechler wanted the motor boat damage from Jason Lives, and the axe and machete cuts Jason received in Part 3 and Part 4 to part of the design for The New Blood.^[79] Since Jason had been submerged under water in the previous entry, the effects team wanted Jason to appear «rotted», with bones and ribs showing, and for Jason’s features to have a more defined feel to them.^[95] Howard Berger was inspired by Carl Fullerton’s design in The New Blood, and wanted to incorporate the exposed flesh concept into his model for Jason Goes to Hell. Berger designed Jason’s skin to overlap with the mask, to make it appear as if the skin and mask had fused and the mask could no longer be removed.^[82] Gregory Nicotero and Berger sculpted a full-body, foam latex suit for Kane Hodder to wear under the costume. The idea was to reveal as much of Jason’s skin as possible, because Nicotero and Berger knew the physical character would not be seen for most of the film.^[82]

Stephan Dupuis was given the task of redesigning Jason for the tenth Friday the 13th film. One concept brought into the film was Jason’s regenerative abilities.^[14] Dupuis gave the character more hair and more of a natural flesh appearance to illustrate the constant regeneration the character goes through; Dupuis wanted a more «gothic» design for Jason, so he added chains and shackles, and made the hockey mask more angular.^[83] Jim Isaac and the rest of his crew wanted to create an entirely new Jason at some point in the film. The idea was for the teens to completely destroy Jason’s body, allowing the futuristic technology to bring him back to life.^[83] What was referred to as Über-Jason was designed to have chunks of metal growing from his body, bonded by tendrils that grew into the metal, all pushing through a leather suit. The metal was created from VacuForm, the same material used to increase the size of the original hockey mask, and was attached by Velcro. The tendrils were made from silicone. All of the pieces were crafted onto one suit, including an entire head piece, which Hodder wore. The make-up effects team added zippers along the side of the suit, which allowed Hodder to enter and exit the suit within 15 minutes.^[83]

By the time Freddy vs. Jason entered production there had been ten previous Friday the 13th films. Make-up effects artist Terezakis wanted to put his own mark on Jason’s look—he wanted Jason to be less rotted and decomposed and more defined, so that the audience would see a new Jason, but still recognized the face. Terezakis tried to keep continuity with the previous films, but recognized that had he followed them too literally, then «Jason would have been reduced to a pile of goo.»^[84] Ronny Yu wanted everything surrounding the hockey mask to act as a frame, making the mask the focal point of each shot. To achieve this, Terezakis created a «pooled-blood look» for the character by painting the skin black, based on the idea the blood had pooled in the back of his head because he had been lying on his back for a long time. As with other make-up artists before him, Terezakis followed Savini’s original skull design, and aged it appropriately.^[84]

For the 2009 version of Friday the 13th, effects artist Scott Stoddard took inspiration from Carl Fullerton’s design in Friday the 13th Part 2 and Tom Savini’s work in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. Stoddard wanted to make sure that Jason appeared human and not like a monster. Stoddard’s vision of Jason includes hair loss, skin rashes, and the traditional deformities in his face, but he attempted to craft Jason’s look in a way that would allow for a more human side to be seen.^[88] Stoddard took inspiration from the third and fourth films when designing Jason’s hockey mask. The make-up artist managed to acquire an original set piece, which he studied and later sculpted. Although he had a model of one of the original masks, Stoddard did not want to replicate it in its entirety. As Stoddard explains, «Because I didn’t want to take something that already existed, there were things I thought were great, but there were things I wanted to change a bit. Make it custom, but keep all the fundamental designs. Especially the markings on the forehead and cheeks. Age them down a bit, break them up.» In the end, Stoddard crafted six versions of the mask, each with varying degrees of wear.^[88]

Characteristics

In his original appearance, Jason was scripted as a mentally disabled young boy.^[96] Since Friday the 13th, Jason Voorhees has been depicted as a non-verbal, indestructible, machete-wielding mass murderer.^[97][98] Jason is primarily portrayed as being completely silent throughout the film series. Exceptions to this include in Part III when he grunts in pain several times when final girl Chris manages to stab him (once in the hand and once just above his knee), flashbacks of Jason as a child, a brief scene in Jason Takes Manhattan where the character cries out «Mommy, please don’t let me drown!» in a child’s voice before being submerged in toxic waste, and in Jason Goes to Hell where his spirit possesses other individuals.^[60] Online magazine Salon‘s Andrew O’Hehir describes Jason as a «silent, expressionless…blank slate.»^[99] When discussing Jason psychologically, Sean S. Cunningham said, «…he doesn’t have any personality. He’s like a great white shark. You can’t really defeat him. All you can hope for is to survive.»^[100] Since Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, Jason has been a «virtually indestructible» being. Tom McLoughlin, the film’s director, felt it was silly that Jason had previously been just another guy in a mask, who would kill people left and right, but get «beaten up and knocked down by the heroine at the end». McLoughlin wanted Jason to be more of a «formidable, unstoppable monster».^[23] In resurrecting Jason from the dead, McLoughlin also gave him the weakness of being rendered helpless if trapped beneath the waters of Crystal Lake; inspired by vampire lore, McLoughlin decided that Jason had in fact drowned as a child, and that returning him to his original resting place would immobilize him.^[101] This weakness would be presented again in The New Blood, and the idea that Jason had drowned as a child was taken up by director Rob Hedden as a plot element in Jason Takes Manhattan.^[60]

Many have given suggestions as Jason’s motivation for killing. Ken Kirzinger refers to Jason as a «psychotic mama’s boy gone horribly awry…very resilient. You can’t kill him, but he feels pain, just not like everyone else.»^[102] Kirzinger goes on to say that Jason is a «psycho-savant», and believes his actions are based on pleasing his mother, and not anything personal.^[84] Andrew O’Hehir has stated, «Coursing hormones act, of course, as smelling salts to prudish Jason, that ever-vigilant enforcer of William Bennett-style values.»^[99] Todd Farmer, writer for Jason X, wrote the scene where Jason wakes from cryonic hibernation just as two of the teenagers are having sex. Farmer liked the idea that sex acts triggered Jason back to life.^[83] Whatever his motivations, Kane Hodder believes there is a limit to what he will do. According to Hodder, Jason might violently murder any person he comes across, but when Jason Takes Manhattan called for Hodder to kick the lead character’s dog, Hodder refused, stating that, while Jason has no qualms against killing humans, he is not bad enough to hurt animals.^[103] Another example from Jason Takes Manhattan, involves Jason being confronted by a street gang of young teenage boys one of whom threatens him with a knife, however Jason chooses not to kill them and instead scares them off by lifting up his mask and showing them his face. Likewise, director Tom McLoughlin chose not to have Jason harm any of the children he encounters in Jason Lives, stating that Jason would not kill a child, out of a sympathy for the plight of children generated by his own death as a child.^[101]

In Jason Goes to Hell, director Adam Marcus decided to include a copy of the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, from the Evil Dead franchise, in the Voorhees home as a way to insinuate that Jason was actually a «Deadite», a type of demonic being from that series. Marcus stated the book’s placement was intended to imply that Pamela Voorhees had used it to resurrect Jason after his childhood drowning, resulting in his supernatural abilities: «This is why Jason isn’t Jason. He’s Jason plus The Evil Dead… That, to me, is way more interesting as a mashup, and [Sam] Raimi loved it! It’s not like I could tell New Line my plan to include The Evil Dead, because they don’t own The Evil Dead. So it had to be an Easter egg, and I did focus on it. It absolutely is canon.»^[104] In an early draft of Freddy vs. Jason, it was decided that one of the villains needed a redeemable factor. Ronald D. Moore, co-writer of the first draft, explained that Jason was the easiest to make redeemable, because no one had previously ventured into the psychology surrounding the character. Moore saw the character as a «blank slate», and felt he was a character the audience could really root for.^[105] Another draft, penned by Mark Protosevich, followed Moore’s idea of Jason having a redeemable quality. In the draft, Jason protects a pregnant teenager named Rachel Daniels. Protosevich explained, «It gets into this whole idea of there being two kinds of monsters. Freddy is a figure of actual pure evil and Jason is more like a figure of vengeance who punishes people he feels do not deserve to live. Ultimately, the two of them clash and Jason becomes an honorable monster.»^[105] Writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, who wrote the final draft of the film, disagreed about making Jason a hero, although they drew comparisons between the fact that Freddy was a victimizer and Jason was a victim. They stated, «We did not want to make Jason any less scary. He’s still a brutal killer … We never wanted to put them in a situation where Jason is a hero … They’re both villains to be equally feared.»^[105] Brenna O’Brien, co-founder of Fridaythe13thfilms.com, saw the character as having sympathetic qualities. She stated, «[Jason] was a deformed child who almost drowned and then spent the rest of his childhood growing up alone in the woods. He saw his mother get murdered by a camp counselor in the first Friday the 13th, and so now he exacts his revenge on anyone who returns to Camp Crystal Lake. Teenage fans can identify with that sense of rejection and isolation, which you can’t really get from other killers like Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers.»^[91]

As Jason went through some characterization changes in the 2009 film, Derek Mears likens him more to a combination of John Rambo, Tarzan, and the Abominable Snowman from Looney Tunes. To him, this Jason is similar to Rambo because he sets up the other characters to fall into his traps. Like Rambo, he is more calculated because he feels that he has been wronged and he is fighting back; he is meant to be more sympathetic in this film.^[106] Fuller and Form contend that they did not want to make Jason too sympathetic to the audience. As Brad Fuller explains, «We do not want him to be sympathetic. Jason is not a comedic character, he is not sympathetic. He’s a killing machine. Plain and simple.»^[107]

In 2005, California State University’s Media Psychology Lab surveyed 1,166 people Americans aged from 16 to 91 on the psychological appeal of movie monsters. Many of the characteristics associated with Jason Voorhees were appealing to the participants. In the survey, Jason was considered to be an «unstoppable killing machine.» Participants were impressed by the «cornucopic feats of slicing and dicing a seemingly endless number of adolescents and the occasional adult.» Out of the ten monsters used in the survey—which included vampires, Freddy Krueger, Frankenstein’s monster, Michael Myers, Godzilla, Chucky, Hannibal Lecter, King Kong and the Alien—Jason scored the highest in all the categories involving killing variables. Further characteristics that appealed to the participants included Jason’s «immortality, his apparent enjoyment of killing [and] his superhuman strength.»^[108]

Reception

Popularity

Jason Voorhees is one of the leading cultural icons of American popular culture.^{[108][109][110]} In 1992 Jason was awarded the MTV Lifetime Achievement Award.^[111] He was the first of only three completely fictional characters to be presented the award; Godzilla (1996) and Chewbacca (1997) are the others.^[112][113] Jason was named No. 26 in Wizard magazine’s «100 greatest villains of all time».^[114] Universal Studios theme parks, in collaboration with New Line Cinema, used the character for their Halloween Horror Nights event.^[115] In June 2020, Jason appears in a PSA to encourage people to wear a mask during the COVID-19 pandemic.^[116] In October 2021, IGN named Jason the «Greatest Movie Slasher of All Time»,^[117] while Scott Gleeson of USA Today named Jason the 2nd most «haunting horror movie villain».^[118] Red Bull called Jason as one of the scariest video game villains of all time, because «playing as Jason is loads of fun, but having to run and hide from him is as exhilarating as it is terrifying.»^[119]

The character has been produced and marketed as merchandise over the years. In 1988 Screamin’ Toys produced a model kit where owners could build their own Jason statuette. The kit required the owner to cut and paint various parts in order to assemble the figure.^[120] Six years later, Screamin’ Toys issued a new model kit for Jason Goes to Hell. Both kits are now out of production.^[121] McFarlane Toys released two toy lines, one in 1998 and the other in 2002. The first was a figure of Jason from Jason Goes to Hell,^[122] and the other was of Über-Jason from Jason X.^[123] Since McFarlane’s last toy line in 2002, there has been a steady production of action figures, dolls, and statuettes. These include tie-ins with the film Freddy vs. Jason (2003).^[124] In April 2010 Sideshow Toys released a polystone statue of Jason, based on the version appearing in the 2009 remake.^[125] NECA and Mezco Toyz also released figures of Jason in its own action figure series.^[126][127]

Cultural impact

The character has been referenced, or made cameo appearances, in various entertainment mediums. Outside of literature sources based on the character, Jason has been featured in a variety of magazines and comic strips. Cracked magazine has released several issues featuring parodies of Jason, and he has been featured on two of their covers.^[114] Mad magazine has featured the character in almost a dozen stories. He has appeared twice in the comic strip Mother Goose and Grimm.^[114] The Usagi Yojimbo antagonist Jei is based on Voorhees; his name, with the honorific «-san» attached, is in fact a pun on Voorhees’ first name.^[128]

Many musical artists have made references to Jason Voorhees. Inspired by his own experience, Ari Lehman founded a band called «First Jason». Lehman’s band is classified as horror punk, and is influenced by the sounds of the Dead Kennedys and the Misfits.^[130] The band’s name pays homage to Lehman’s portrayal of Jason Voorhees in the original Friday the 13th. One of the band’s songs is entitled «Jason is Watching».^[130] In 1986, coinciding with the release of Jason Lives, Alice Cooper released «He’s Back (The Man Behind the Mask)» from his album Constrictor. The song was written to «signal Jason’s big return» to cinema, as he had been almost entirely absent in the previous film in the series.^[131] Rapper Eminem has referenced Jason in several of his songs. The song «Criminal», from the album The Marshall Mathers LP, mentions Jason specifically, while songs «Amityville» and «Off the Wall»—the latter featured fellow rapper Redman—contain Harry Manfredini’s music «ki, ki, ki … ma, ma, ma» from the film series.^[132] Eminem sometimes wears a hockey mask during concerts.^[133] Other rap artists that have referenced Jason include Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, LL Cool J, and Insane Clown Posse.^[132] In 1989, Puerto Rican rapper Vico C had a song titled «Viernes 13» which featured Jason in Puerto Rico.^[134] The song was so popular in the island that Vico C wrote a second part titled «Viernes 13, Parte II».^[135] VH1 issued an advertisement for their Vogue Fashion Awards which was labeled «Friday the 20th», and featured Jason’s mask created out of rhinestone.^[136]

Jason has been referenced or parodied in other films.^[137] The 1988 British film Unmasked Part 25, whose title lampoons the high number of installments in slasher film series like Friday the 13th, features a hockey mask-wearing serial killer named Jackson who grows tired of his routine murder sprees and develops a romance with a young woman.^[138][139] In the 1996 film Scream, directed by Elm Street creator Wes Craven, actress Drew Barrymore’s character is being stalked by a killer who calls her on her home phone. In order to survive, she must answer the man’s trivia questions. One question is «name the killer in Friday the 13th.» She incorrectly guesses Jason, who did not become the killer for the film series until Part 2. Writer Kevin Williamson claimed his inspiration for this scene came when he asked this question in a bar while a group was playing a movie trivia quiz game. He received a free drink, because nobody got the answer right.^[140] In another Wes Craven film, Cursed, a wax sculpture of Jason, from Jason Goes to Hell, can be seen in a wax museum.^[141] In 2014, Jason made a cameo appearance in the RadioShack Super Bowl XLVIII commercial «The ’80s Called».^[142]

Jason has also been referenced by several television shows.^[143] The stop motion animated television series Robot Chicken features Jason in three of its comedy sketches. In episode seventeen, «Operation: Rich in Spirit», the mystery-solving teenagers from Scooby-Doo arrive at Camp Crystal Lake to investigate the Jason Voorhees murders, and are killed off one by one as well as killing Don Knotts. Velma is the only survivor, and in typical Scooby-Doo fashion, she rips off Jason’s mask to reveal his true identity: Old Man Phillips.^[144] In «That Hurts Me», Jason reappears, this time as a housemate of «Horror Movie Big Brother», alongside other famous slasher movie killers such as Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Leatherface, Pinhead and Ghostface.^[145] Three years later, in episode sixty-two, Jason is shown on the days before and after a typical Friday the 13th.^[146] Jason is spoofed in the season five episode of Family Guy entitled «It Takes a Village Idiot, and I Married One». The so-called «Mr. Voorhees» explains to Asian reporter Trisha Takanawa how happy he is to see local wildlife return following the cleanup and rejuvenation of Lake Quahog. He reappears later in the episode as the manager of the «Britches and Hose» clothing store. As opposed to his monstrous personality in the films, Jason is depicted here as polite and articulate, albeit still a psychopath; he murders random swimmers and threatens to kill his employee if she screws up.^[147] In an episode of The Simpsons, Jason appears in a Halloween episode sitting on the couch with Freddy Krueger waiting for the family to arrive. When Freddy asks where the family is, Jason responds, «Ehh, whaddya gonna do?» and turns the TV on.^[148] He also appears in The Simpsons episode «Stop, or My Dog Will Shoot!», alongside Pinhead, menacing Bart in a fantasy sequence.^[149] The South Park episodes «Imaginationland Episode II» and «III» feature Jason among an assortment of other villains and monsters as an inhabitant of the «bad side» of Imaginationland, a world populated by fictional characters. This version of Jason has an effeminate voice and describes the removal of Strawberry Shortcake’s eyeball as «super hardcore».^{[150][151][152]} Experimental pop artist Eric Millikin created a large mosaic portrait of Jason Voorhees out of Halloween candy and spiders as part of his «Totally Sweet» series in 2013.^[153][154]

Jason Voorhees is the main antagonist and centerpiece of the Friday the 13th franchise and the secondary antagonist of the crossover film Freddy vs. 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.

A prolific serial killer, Jason Voorhees has killed well over 200 people, (some of which are completely off screen) over the years.

Biography

Early life

Jason Voorhees was born in the small town of Crystal Lake on June 13, 1946 to Elias Voorhees and Pamela Voorhees. Though his age is often disputed, as the actress for Pamela created a backstory for her character that put Jason’s birthdate in 1944. Jason was afflicted with severe facial deformities, Hydrocephalus, an abnormally large head, and mental disabilities. Raising Jason on her own, Pamela kept her son isolated from the community, not letting him attend school and educating him in their home on the outskirts of Crystal Lake. Due to his mental deficiencies, his education was quite limited, but he learned never to question his mother. He obeyed all his mothers orders, grasping the concept that his life was going to be difficult, if not impossible, without her guidance. His extreme obedience for his mother would manifest itself in a strange way after puberty. Even after she died, Jason could imagine her talking to him from beyond the grave.

In 1957, Pamela was hired by Mr. & Mrs. Christy as a cook for their summer camp. Having no living relatives to board Jason with and unable to afford a nanny, she took him to the camp with her.

Jason had actually been with his mom most of the time instead of other kids, leading to them thinking he wasn’t very smart, so they started bullying him. While being bullied by the other campers, Jason attempted to escape from his tormentors, but the cruel children caught up to him on the dock and threw Jason into the lake where he presumably drowned. His last words were for his mother, then for anyone in earshot to help him. The counselors were supposed to be on the lookout for this type of misbehavior, but were distracted by casual sex.

The Christys ordered the camp closed. Police combed the lake but failed to find Jason’s corpse. Interrogation of the counselors led the authorities to conclude Jason’s death was accidental and no one was charged with his death. In 1958, it was again open on schedule. Pamela, who was mad with grief, murdered Barry Jackson and Claudette Hayes, the counselors she blamed for Jason’s drowning. Pamela was never suspected of the murders, but unlike Jason’s drowning, autopsies of the two teenagers clearly showed they died as a result of homicide, and the camp was promptly closed again.

The Christys reopened the camp in 1962, but discovery of arsenic in the water reserves on camp property caused the summer season to be cancelled. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, there were random fires on the property, and the fire department could not come up with a plausible reason. It was never proven, but strongly suggested, that Pamela lived close to the camp and had engaged in these acts of sabotage in order to ensure the camp remained unattended and that no child suffer the same fate as Jason. All of these tragedies led to the abandoned summer camp being nicknamed «Camp Blood» by the locals who came to believe the area was cursed.

Life before mass killing sprees

Despite struggling in the lake from the prank, he did not drown. By some means Jason managed to make it to land safely. Having no idea how to seek help, he seemingly decided his only action was to wait for his mother to find him. He either built a home or managed to occupy an abandoned shanty in the woods. During these years, Pamela never found out where he was, nor did they see each other again until her death. Presumably Jason came to believe that his mother had died and that he was on his own. He managed to live off the land, subsiding on edible plants in the forests surrounding Crystal Lake or hunting small animals, or pilfering food where he could. He also made use of the abandoned summer camp to strip it for makeshift goods, or made very limited forays into civilization to procure supplies. Jason had managed to achieve independence from his mother and survive on his own as a full-grown man, albeit in a crude and very haphazard manner.

Steven Christy, the son of Camp Crystal Lake founders David and Louise Christy, tried to re-open the camp. In 1978, he had plunked down $25,000 hiring various carpenters, electricians, masons and plumbers to go to the Camp Crystal Lake property and renovate it. He also hired several teenagers from out of town to assist him in the refurbishment, with a deadline that by the time the summer of 1979 came to be, the camp would once again be open for business. Steve went to urban areas and made contact with community centers, offering lower class inner-city families a chance for their children to enjoy the great outdoors for a summer. Enraged by Steve’s actions, Pamela murdered him and almost all of his employees with only Alice Hardy surviving. Ultimately, Alice decapitated Pamela with a machete after a brief struggle on the lake’s shore. After killing Pamela, Alice collapsed from exhaustion and stress into a canoe, and fell asleep as it drifted out onto the lake. The following Saturday morning, police cars came onto the camp property to investigate the murders, only for Alice herself to be pulled into the water by a revenant form of Jason’s prepubescent self. Alice had indeed nearly drowned, but this was in fact due to the capsizing of the canoe. She awoke in a hospital bed and was greeted by Sergeant Tierney, who said that they found the corpses on the property, and that Officer Dorf and another of his men rescued her from drowning. Alice was then admitted to the hospital and treated for hypothermia. When Alice asks about Jason, Tierney chalks it up to hallucination from her recent ordeal and replies «Ma’am, we did not find any boy» causing Alice to remark that Jason is still out there.

Prelude to mass killing sprees

After his mother’s murder-spree, Jason, having witnessed his mother’s death, grabbed her sweater, pants, severed head, and the machete that killed her and returned to his shack with them, placing the objects on a crude altar he had constructed as a shrine to his beloved mother. Two months after Pamela’s death, Jason soon left the woods and entered the town in search of his mother’s killer. Jason somehow tracked Alice down to her apartment, snuck inside and stabbed her in the head with an ice pick after scaring her by placing his mother’s head in her refrigerator. Escaping with Alice’s body, Jason placed it at the foot of his mother’s shrine.

Three years after killing Alice, Jason discovered a local teenager named Chris Higgins in the woods and attacked her with a knife, knocking her out in the struggle. Exactly what happened next is unknown, but hours later, Chris woke up at home with no idea how she got there.

Beginning of mass killing sprees

Jason’s mass murders began in the summer of 1984 when he learned of a new group of teenagers occupying the nearby Packanack Lodge. Determined to destroy the trespassers, he began to watch the group closely and stalk them to their deaths. He kills a cop and Ralph (and puts the cop’s corpse next to the shrine because he saw that it was already in the shack). Jason attacked Packanack Lodge in the middle of the night, murdering the six would-be counselors who had decided to stay behind instead of going into town for one last night of fun. Hiding the counselors’ bodies (and bringing at least one to his shack), Jason stayed in the lodge, awaiting more victims to present themselves. When Paul and his assistant Ginny Field returned, Jason knocked Paul out and then he chased Ginny through the campgrounds and all the way to his shack where she discovered the shrine erected to Pamela Voorhees.

Aware of Jason’s history, Ginny donned Pamela’s sweater and tricked Jason into thinking she was his mother, distracting him long enough for Paul to appear. As Paul and Jason fought, Ginny grabbed the machete used to kill Mrs. Voorhees and slammed it into Jason’s shoulder, with the blow knocking him out. Despite the severity of his injury, Jason recovered and followed Ginny and Paul back to the Packanack Lodge, where an unmasked Jason crashed through a window and attacked Ginny, causing her to black out. The next day, a bewildered Ginny was found by paramedics, but Jason and Paul were nowhere to be found.

Reaching a small store, Jason killed the owners and stole some new clothes, then made his way to Higgins Haven, vacation home of his would-be victim Chris, where he spent the night. The next day, Jason attacked two bikers (succeeding in only knocking out the leader, Ali) before moving on to Chris’s friends, killing them one by one, acquiring a hockey mask from a boy named Shelly Finkelstein and using it to replace his burlap sack, which he had earlier lost. When Chris and her boyfriend Rick, who had been out, returned to Higgins Haven, Jason killed Rick and gave chase to Chris, who eventually recognized Jason as the man who attacked her two years ago. Becoming trapped in the barn with Jason, Chris, when a recovered Ali died trying to attack Jason, used the distraction to split Jason’s head open with an axe. After being momentarily stunned by the axe blow, Jason managed to stumble forward and tried to grab Chris before falling over, seemingly dead. The next day, a hysterical Chris was found by the police and led away, ranting about a dream in which Jason was still alive and being attacked by a decayed Pamela out on the lake.

That night, Jason and his ten victims were taken to the Wessex County Morgue, where Jason revived, killing the coroner and a nurse before beginning to make his way back to Crystal Lake, murdering a hitchhiker on his way there. Reaching the home of twelve-year-old Tommy Jarvis and his family by the next night, Jason murdered a group of teenagers vacationing next door, as well as Mrs. Jarvis and Rob Dier, the brother of one of Jason’s victims at the Packanack Lodge, who had been looking for Jason in order to avenge his sister’s death. Going after Tommy and his sister Trish, Jason’s rampage was brought to an end when Tommy, using some newspaper clippings belonging to Rob as a reference, altered his appearance to resemble a young Jason, which distracted the killer and allowed Tommy to strike him in the head with Rob’s machete, causing Jason to topple over forward, pushing the blade even deeper into his skull. As Tommy and Trish embraced, Tommy, noticing that Jason was showing faint signs of life, grabbed the machete and began hacking away at Jason’s body, screaming «Die! Die! Die!» over and over. The Jarvis siblings were found a short time later and Jason’s body was buried in Eternal Peace Cemetery, although most local officials were apparently misinformed and believed the killer had been cremated. Killing thirty teenagers and adults in the space of only a few days, the summer of 1984 was Jason’s bloodiest year ever.

Copycat killer and resurrection

Five years after killing Jason, Tommy Jarvis, who had been in and out of institutions since his encounter with Jason, was sent to the Pinehurst Halfway House. Shortly after Tommy’s arrival, residents of the area started being killed off at an alarming rate, the brutality and seemingly random nature of the murders causing the authorities to fear that Jason had somehow returned. The one responsible for the new killing spree, revealed to be a paramedic named Roy Burns (who had snapped and begun copycatting Jason after the death of his son at Pinehurst) was eventually killed in self-defense by Tommy. Due to Roy’s killing spree reawakening his deep-seated fear of Jason, Tommy, already unhinged and suffering from visual and auditory hallucinations, has a psychotic fit and nearly became another Jason copycat, donning a hockey mask that greatly resembled or somehow actually was Roy’s mask, brandishing a knife and coming close to murdering his friend Pamela Roberts.

Put back in an institution after nearly killing Pam, Tommy was released back into society in June of 1990. Believing that destroying Jason’s body would cure his psychosis and allow him to move on, Tommy went to Eternal Peace Cemetery with his friend Allen Hawes and dug up Jason’s corpse, planning on cremating it. Unfortunately, the sight of Jason’s body caused Tommy to have an episode and attack the rotted husk with a metal fence post. Calming down after stabbing the body several times, Tommy left the fence post embedded in Jason’s chest, which lead to Jason accidentally being resurrected when the post acted as a lightning rod, attracting several bolts created by an oncoming storm.

Rising from the grave, Jason killed Hawes and, after sending Tommy running (though it’s unknown if he actually remembers Tommy as the boy who killed him), and then he put on the hockey mask that Tommy had left behind. The killer began making his way back to Camp Crystal Lake (renamed Camp Forest Green). After a day of traveling on foot and killing everyone he encountered, Jason reached the camp and killed the two active counselors (having already murdered the other three during his trek). Moving in on the children, Jason was drawn away from them when Sheriff Michael Garris and two officers appeared to investigate the lack of communication with the camp. Easily killing off the officers, Jason briefly struggled with the sheriff, but in the end managed to finish him off as well. After killing Garris, Jason attacked his daughter and the only remaining counselor Megan, but was lured away from her and into the lake by Tommy. Attempting to drag Tommy out of his boat and into the water, Jason was set on fire and chained to the bottom of the lake by the young man, who he still managed to drown. Struggling to free himself, Jason tried dragging Megan under as well when she swam out to save Tommy, but was left paralyzed when the girl used the detached motor of Tommy’s boat to cut into his neck, breaking it. Megan successfully resuscitated Tommy, leaving Jason trapped at the bottom of the lake.

In the seven years of his underwater imprisonment, Jason nearly managed to drown thirteen year-old Rennie Wickham when the girl was pushed into Crystal Lake by her uncle, who was trying to teach her how to swim. Seeing Jason as a child due to her latent empathetic abilities, Rennie barely escaped Jason’s grasp, and was left haunted by her encounter with him, becoming aqua-phobic.

From Crystal Lake to Manhattan

Psychic teenager Tina Shepard, wanting to bring back her father, whom she had accidentally killed using her powers years earlier, unknowingly awakened and released Jason from his watery tomb and from the dead, the shock of doing so knocking the girl out, causing Jason to ignore her. Wandering the Crystal Lake area, Jason returned to killing, slaughtering his way to the Shepard home and the house next door, which several teenagers had rented for a birthday party. Butchering the teens, as well as Tina’s mother and her doctor, Jason ultimately faced off against Tina, her telekinesis easily matching his raw power.

Their fight destroying both houses, Tina and Jason’s battle reached its climax on the docks of Crystal Lake, where Tina, using her powers, resurrected her father, who dragged Jason off the dock and chained him to the bottom of the lake once again. The next summer, Jason became active once more when the anchor of a passing yacht severed an underwater electric cable, which shocked Jason back to life. Boarding the yacht, Jason murdered the two teenage lovers aboard, gaining a new hockey mask from the boy, to replace the one Tina had destroyed during their fight. Drifting aimlessly, the yacht brought Jason to the SS Lazarus, a cruise ship which was taking the graduating class of Lakeview High School to New York. Climbing aboard the ship, Jason set about killing off the crew and students, his presence causing the now eighteen year-old Rennie Wickham to be plagued by visions of Jason’s younger self. Starting a fire by throwing a student onto a control panel, Jason caused the SS Lazarus to sink, drowning everyone still aboard.

Having seen Rennie, her classmates Sean Robertson and Julius Gaw and teachers Colleen van Deusen and Charles McCulloch escape in a lifeboat, Jason followed them to New York, either swimming or walking on the ocean floor. Catching up to the group in Manhattan, Jason pursued them through the streets, killing Julius, Charles and anyone else in his way. Chasing Rennie and Sean (Colleen having died in a car accident) through Times Square, a subway, a diner and into the sewers, Jason eventually cornered the two, knocking Sean out and killing the sanitation engineer who had been guiding him and Rennie through the tunnels. Chasing Rennie, Jason was horribly burned when the girl threw an old canister of toxic waste onto his face, causing it to melt. Tearing his smoldering mask off and blindly stumbling after Rennie, Jason grabbed her leg when she and Sean tried to climb out of the sewer, but before he could pull her down, he was caught in a wave of sludge that rushed through the tunnels and was melted down as Sean and Rennie (who hallucinated Jason as a child one final time) escaped through a manhole.

Hell and nightmares

Presumably washed out to sea by the sludge, Jason made his way back to Crystal Lake with his hockey mask fused to his face due to the toxic waste. In July 2003, an undercover FBI Agent Elizabeth Marcus stopped by a cabin on the campgrounds only to be chased by Jason into the woods. Marcus led Jason into an ambush where FBI agents had riddled him with hundreds of bullets and blew him apart with a grenade. Jason’s remains were sent to the federal morgue in Youngstown, Ohio. There Jason, possessed the coroner who examined him, by hypnotizing him into eating his disembodied heart. With his new body, Jason killed the assistant coroner and a pair of FBI agents left to guard the morgue and began making his way back to Crystal Lake, instinctively seeking out his half-sister Diana Kimble, who he intended to possess in order to fully resurrect himself. After five days (and claiming nine more victims) Jason reached Crystal Lake and transferred his worm-like soul from Phil to Josh, a local policeman. Attacking Diana in her home, Jason, struggling with Steven Freeman when he arrived, accidentally killed Diana with a knife sharpener he had intended to throw at Steven. Fleeing the scene after being impaled with a fireplace poker and knocked through a window by Steven, Jason abandoned Josh’s body the next day and acquired a new one, that of Robert Campbell, a reporter and the boyfriend of Diana’s daughter Jessica, Jason’s newest target.

Finding Jessica at home, Jason tried to possess her, but was wounded by Steven, who escaped with Jessica. Tracking Jessica down to the police department, Jason killed Deputy Ryan, knocked out another officer and Sheriff Landis, and came close to possessing Jessica, only for Steven to interfere again. Shot a number of times by Steven, Jason was briefly downed, but recovered, kills a pair of officers and chased Steven and Jessica to the diner where Diana worked. Shrugging off a barrage of gunshots, Jason, after killing the family owning the diner, collapsed after Jessica’s friend Vicki sacrificed herself in an attempt to stop him. Recovering by the time the police showed up, Jason possessed Deputy Randy Parker and made his way to his old home, arriving there at the same time as Sheriff Landis. Seeing Jessica had an enchanted dagger, which could send him to Hell, Jason pretended to be Randy, even speaking, confusing Jessica and causing her to accidentally kill Sheriff Landis when he tried disarming her. When Jessica dropped the dagger after stabbing Landis with it, Jason rushed over to Stephanie, Jessica and Steven’s infant daughter, and prepared to possess her. Arriving just in time, Steven partially beheaded Randy with a machete, forcing Jason’s soul to crawl out of his gaping neck wound. Scurrying through the house, Jason’s soul was knocked into a hole in the floor by Steven, where it found Diana’s dead body, which had been placed in the house by Robert, who had intended to «discover» it during a routine walk-through with his crew. Slithering up his half-sister’s vagina, Jason successfully resurrected himself and went after Jessica and Steven, only being momentarily distracted by Creighton Duke, a bounty hunter with a vendetta against him. After killing Duke, Jason was tackled out of a window by Steven and the two fought, with Jason having the obvious advantage. Before he could beat Steven to death, Jason was attacked from behind by Jessica, who had recovered the dagger. Stabbed in the chest, Jason was grabbed by demonic hands that burst out of the dirt and, feebly struggling, was dragged down to Hell, losing his mask in the process. Leaving with their baby at dawn, Jessica and Steven failed to notice the bladed glove of Freddy Krueger shoot out of the ground and grab the abandoned hockey mask.

In his personal Hell, Jason wandered a perfect recreation of Camp Crystal Lake that was in perpetual twilight, seemingly killing the same shade of a possible previous victim over and over again. Jason’s cycle of stalking and killing was eventually interrupted by Freddy Krueger who, under the guise of Mrs. Voorhees, used what remained of his power to resurrect Jason, telling him to go to Springwood and «punish» the children there. Weak due to the residents of his hometown suppressing and censoring all knowledge pertaining to him and quarantining those aware of his existence, Freddy’s plan was to have Jason kill and cause a panic, making the authorities believe he had returned, creating fear and giving him power.

Jason killed several Springwood residents and the deaths were blamed on Freddy, just like the dreamstalker thought they would be. Things soon become complicated when Jason, despite fulfilling his purpose, continued killing, claiming more and more victims before Freddy could kill them in their dreams. After attacking a rave, killing at least ten people there, Jason followed Lori Campbell and her friends Will Rollins, Charlie Linderman, Kia, Freeburg and Scott Stubbs to Westin Hills Psychiatric Institute, the group having gone there in search of the dream suppressant Hypnocil, which could protect them from Freddy. Breaking into the asylum, Jason killed a guard and Deputy Stubbs and gave chase to the others, but was confronted by Freddy, who had possessed Freeburg and disposed of the Hypnocil. Using a massive amount of tranquilizer, Freddy knocked Jason out, right before he sliced Freeburg’s body in half. With Jason now unconscious, the remaining survivors- Lori, Will, Kia and Linderman- collected all the tranquilizers that they could find and loaded Jason’s body into a van to take him back to Crystal Lake, hoping that they could then wake Jason up so that he could defeat Freddy where he had the ‘home-field advantage’ and then be content to remain at the lake.

Confronted by Freddy in the Dream World and figuring out he was only being used, Jason was losing against the other killer, who had the advantage of possessing reality warping powers in his realm. Managing to endure everything that Freddy threw at him, Jason lost his composure when a pipe burst and showered him with water, his deep-seated fear of water and drowning having been brought to the surface by being in the Dream World. Regressed to a helpless child by Freddy, Jason was whisked away to a 1950’s-style version of Camp Crystal Lake, where he relived being knocked into the lake by bullying campers while none of the counselors were watching them. Jason was narrowly saved by Lori, who had entered the Dream World, intent on dragging Freddy out. Due to being distracted by Lori, Freddy lost hold of Jason, who woke up in the back of the van with the others.

Breaking his bonds, Jason caused the van to crash and was sent flying out of the back out of it. Recovering quickly, Jason reached Camp Crystal Lake, which was being converted into a resort, shortly after Will, Kia and Linderman (who were forced to carry Lori, who was trapped in the Dream World by Freddy) did. Bursting into a cabin and attacking Will, Kia and Linderman, Jason injured all three (though Charlie died of his injuries later on) and, during the struggle, caused the cabin to catch on fire. As the flames spread, Jason, when Lori finally woke up after being burnt and dragged Freddy into the real world, moved in the other killer. Jason and Freddy engaged in a brutal battle, which brought them through the campgrounds, a nearby construction site and to the docks, which Lori and Will (Linderman and Kia having been killed by Jason in the crossfire and after Kia caught up to Will and Lori and after she left Charlie who told her to get help and she didn’t notice he died) set on fire. As the flames raced towards them, Jason and Freddy continued fighting, Jason ripping his opponent’s arm off while Freddy, having earlier claimed Jason’s machete, stabbed him in the heart with it. The fire soon reached some stacked propane tanks, causing them to erupt, the explosions setting Jason and Freddy on fire and flinging them into the lake.

When Freddy reached the dock and prepared to kill both Lori and Will, Jason, using his last ounce of strength, leaped out of the water and impaled Freddy with his own severed arm. When Lori beheaded Freddy with his machete, she, seeing Jason sinking to the bottom of the lake with Freddy’s body and severed head, tossed the weapon to him. The next day, Jason emerged from the waters clutching Freddy’s head, which winked and laughed, though this didn’t seem to bother Jason (or he didn’t notice).

A new enemy

In December, five years after his battle with Freddy, Jason has completely recovered from his injuries and still stays in Camp Crystal Lake, with it again being named Forest Green. Freddy is trapped within Jason’s sub conscious. Will and Lori return to the camp for closure and to make sure Jason and Freddy are really dead. Jason first guts Will and hangs him on a roof. He then goes after Lori who tries to fight Jason with a chainsaw but was eventually overpowered and killed by Jason, who then disposed of her and Will. While lurking in Jason’s thoughts Freddy learns of a demonic book called the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, which can be used to bring him back to life. By coincidence, the Necronomicon is hidden in the Voorhees Home. In a trance, Freddy, once again uses Pamela to convince Jason that the only way to get rid of Freddy is with the Necronomicon, and that will also make Jason a «real boy». While looking for the demonic book, Jason murders three girls. This murder is analyzed by Ash Williams, who came into town to help with a local S-Mart. Ash believed Jason to be a Deadite — undead demonic entities created by the Necronomicon. Ash, having dealt with Deadites before tries to warn the teenage employee’s at S-Mart, but naturally none of them believe Ash, except for a girl named Caroline, who is aware of Jason’s existence. One of the teens also makes a mistake of pulling a prank on Ash by dressing up as Jason. In another trance, Freddy appears as Jason’s father, reminding him of his duties to find the book. After this dream, Jason butchers several Christmas Carolers and later kills a group of teenagers camping in the Voorhees home, except for one named Bree. Ash, who was following the partying teenagers finds the Necronomicon and escapes with Bree. Jason attempts to intercept them while they are driving away. Jason destroys the car but Ash and Bree elude him. Regardless, Jason still relentlessly stalks them to the S-Mart as Freddy urges him. There Jason massacres several employees, including Bree, and several customers as well. Ash and the survivors take refuge in Caroline’s house, where they realize that because of Jason’s limited intelligence, that he must be a pawn. It’s at that point where Freddy slowly begins to reveal himself to Ash. Freddy finally materializes himself outside the dream world and orders Jason to kill Ash and leave the others for later, while he reads the Necronomicon. Three of the boys lure Jason to the Voorhees home, planting a trap there. Jason however, realizes the trick and later confronts Freddy, interrupting a fight between the dream demon and Ash. However Freddy has mastered the Necronomicon enough to summon Jason’s many victims as Deadites to kill him, but Jason fights his vengeful victims. During the struggle, Ash manages to steal the book and flee into the woods. Freddy soon changes the camp grounds into his familiar home of Elm Street and summons the spirits of his own victims to kill Ash. Jason manages to find his way to Freddy’s warped reality and begins to fight him head on, with Freddy gaining the upper hand. Caroline and Ash attempt to escape with the book but it is stolen by Jason. During the heated struggle, the Voorhees House is destroyed and Ash falls unconscious, Freddy and Jason also survive but are trapped in the rubble. Ash does regain consciousness just as Freddy escapes the rubble, as does Jason (much to Freddy’s annoyance). Ash, Freddy, and Jason begin a full out fight. Ash is brutally beaten during the fight but refuses to back down against them. Caroline begins to read the discarded Necronomicon, opening a portal which begins to pull Freddy in. Jason is too strong to be pulled in, but the vortex causes Ash’s car to knock Jason beneath the frozen lake, while Freddy is dragged into the vortex completely. Ash and Caroline survive the fight, but Ash remains confident that the world hasn’t seen the last of them.

Washington

Government agents lead by Detective Gordan Russel, lead a search across the camp grounds for the Necronomicon. The book is found and two other agents find Jason, who awakens and kills both of them. Once again under the guise of Pamela, Freddy urges Jason to hunt down Ash.

Months later, after Jason kills Caroline, Jason follows Ash to Baltimore, Maryland. While Ash is on a train, Jason stows away in the train’s boxcar. Many of Freddy and Jason’s survivors meet each other in a meeting organized by doctors Maggie Burroughs and Neil Gordan. Among those at the meeting are Stephine Kimple, her father Steven, Alice Johnson and her son Jacob, Tina Shepard, and Rennie Wickham. Ash meets with them and they begin to discuss their goals but are interrupted by Jason, who kills Steven. While Ash prepares to fight Jason himself, a hummer drives through the house and rams Jason. The driver is revealed to be Tommy Jarvis. While the survivors flee and make a plan to stop Jason. As Jason gets back up, government agents open fire on Jason and capture him.

In Washington, Jason was put in a holding cell full of dead people. He was visited mentally by Freddy who tells him of a plan to massacre the world. After hearing of the presence of his old enemies (namely Tommy) will be coming for them Jason agrees and becomes the leader of the Deadite army. Pleased, Freddy decides to resurrect Jason with the Necronomicon. The result restores Jason’s hands, flesh, and a full head of flowing hair. Now armed with two machetes. Later, while the survivors battle Freddy, Jason and the Deadites descend upon Washington.

While Jason and his demonic army terrorize the streets, Jason is confronted by Tommy. Just as the fight is provoked, a winged Deadite drags Tommy to meet Freddy, who is abducting Jacob at the White House. Tommy and Jacob are held hostage by Freddy, Jason, and Maggie, who is revealed to be Freddy’s daughter, Kathryn, who has betrayed the group. Little did the killers know, was that Ash, Alice, Tina and Stephanie are now onto them. However, Stephanie separates from the group, and later encounters Freddy who tells her it is her destiny to end up like Jason considering their biological relation. Clad in a hockey mask, Stephanie prepares herself to kill Jason.

Back at the White House a brief fight ensues between Jason and Kathryn. Tina kills Kathryn, and Alice allows Freddy to kill her, passing her powers onto Jacob, who takes this as a chance to summon the spirits of Amanda Kruger and the dream warriors. The Deadites are destroyed, but Freddy wounds Jacob. Ash begins to fight Freddy, while Stephanie and Tommy face Jason. Tommy taunts Jason about not being able to kill him. During this struggle, Jason’s mask is cut off. Surprisingly, the effect of his rebirth gave Jason a normal, un-deformed face. Stephanie impales Jason and Tommy decapitates Jason with a shard of glass. Freddy absorbs Jason’s soul seemingly at full peak, but Neil and the spirit of Nancy Thompson recite the chant to open the portal to the Deadites dimension and Freddy is stripped of his powers and shot into the portal by Ash, freeing all the souls, including Jason.

After the survivors of the battle leave, Pamela’s voice is heard telling him he will never die, foreshadowing another resurrection.

The future

Either during or after 2008 Jason was captured by the government and, convicted of at least two hundred murders, was imprisoned in the Camp Crystal Lake Research Facility, which was built on the remains of the camp. Jason’s captors tried executing him through a variety of means, including electrocution, gassing, firing squad and hanging. None of these methods worked, so Jason was simply left shackled and under constant sedation in the facility until further notice.^[10] By 2010, it was decided that Jason should be cryogenically frozen, with head researcher Rowan LaFontaine being put in charge of the procedure. On the day Jason was supposed to be put on ice, the decision was quickly and quietly overturned, with Doctor Wimmer having convinced his superiors to let him transport Jason, unfrozen, to another facility in Stanford, despite the inherent risk involved in doing so, in the belief that analysis of his ability to regenerate may prove useful. When Wimmer and the group of soldiers hired to move Jason arrived in the killer’s chamber, they discovered he had escaped, murdering a guard and putting the dead man’s body in his place. Ambushing the soldiers, Jason killed them and Doctor Wimmer, acquired a machete and gave chase to Rowan, who lured Jason into the basement, where she knocked him into the experimental cryogenics chamber with a barrage of shotgun blasts. As he began to freeze, Jason rammed his machete through the chamber door, stabbing Rowan and causing the gasses to seep out, causing them to freeze Rowan as well.

Jason’s rupturing of the cryo-chamber not only froze Rowan alongside him, but also instigated the automatic lock-down, which completely sealed the facility. Apparently deciding this was for the best, the government left Jason and Rowan to their fate, abandoning the facility.

Frozen for centuries, Jason and Rowan were discovered in 2455 (445 years later) by an Earth II class on a field trip to the old Earth, which had become uninhabitable years ago. Taken up to The Grendel by the class, Jason was sent to Lab One, where, in the middle of being examined by an intern, he thawed, killed her, grabbed a surgical tool, and began stalking the corridors of the spaceship, killing off the students and the hired security. Jason’s machinations resulted in it crashing into the space station The Solaris, destroying it and crippling the ship, which began falling apart.

As the survivors, Rowan included, tried to escape the shuttle, Jason murdered the engineer, causing Kinsa, an already unbalanced student to break down and try to activate the shuttle prematurely, and dies in the process. Cornering Rowan, Waylander, and Janessa in the docking bay, Jason met his match when android KM-14, having been updated with combat capabilities by her creator Tsunaron, attacked him, riddling him with thousands of bullets and blowing most of his limbs, including his head, off with her machine guns.

Über Jason

Jason’s mangled remains were left in a medical bay where the nano ants reconstructed Jason, using scrap scattered around the room as a substitute for flesh. Now a cyborg and more powerful than ever before, Jason resumed his pursuit of the survivors, who had contacted the rescue vessel The Tiamat and were in the middle of trying to blow off the dying portion of The Grendel, to delay the ship’s explosion. Nonchalantly punching KM’s head off when she tried fighting him again, Jason was blown up by the set charges when Waylander, who had been paralyzed trying to fight Jason, activated them, killing himself in the process. Unfazed by the bombs, Jason ripped his way into the remains of The Grendel, causing Janessa to be sucked into space, and went after the remaining survivors, who worked desperately to try and reach the Tiamat.^[10]

Momentarily distracted by a virtual version of Camp Crystal Lake created by Tsunaron and the still-functioning KM, Jason, realizing the nature of the holograms, charged after Rowan, Tsunaron, and KM as they, having unsealed the door leading to The Tiamat, rushed onto the vessel. As the remains of The Grendel collapsed around him, Jason was confronted by a space-suited Brodski and the two were flung into space when The Grendel finally exploded.^[10]

Merely launched through space by the explosion, Jason tried latching on to The Tiamat, but was tackled by Brodski and sent plummeting through the atmosphere of Earth II. The unshielded reentry caused both Brodski and Jason to be incinerated, with Jason’s remains and his metallic mask crash landing in a lake, attracting the attention of a pair of camping teenagers, who went to investigate the impact site. Due to all of the things Jason lived through it is presumed that he will do his thing on Earth II. In the novel series, he is ended by his son Free Jefferson trapping his clone in an escape-pod sending it to an uninhabitable moon, ultimately killing and ending the threat of Jason once and for all.

Characteristics and Methods

As there are supernatural things involved with Jason, he does however have a personality being that of a child along with being very wrathful. Jason was also known to grunt when injured heavily. He loved his mother dearly as she was the only person that showed him true love in his childhood. After her death, he constructed a crude altar in the shack where he lived with his mother’s head at the center to which he placed his victims at the foot of it, as though it were a way of showing his mother the victims he killed to please her. Ginny Field, knowing the story of him and his mother used the child persona by pretending to be his mother against him to trap him in order to stop Jason to protect herself from further harm. Tommy Jarvis as a child also used the child persona against him by making himself look like Jason did as a child, in order to trap him like Ginny had once done to save his sister. Both attempts to use the child persona against him were successful as he mentally shuts down upon seeing the two perform these actions.

As a mortal human Jason never really enjoyed killing as one would think and wasn’t very sadistic, as he was quite silent, but one could tell that he was an angry, vengeful man as he made countless grunts when he was chasing his victims out of revenge for his mother’s death and the rage he held within him after nearly drowning in the waters of Camp Crystal Lake. Jason was also very childlike mentally as he mainly did everything he could to please his mother with the deaths of those who wronged both of them, but also he ransacked the barn out of frustration when he couldn’t find Chris as if he were throwing a tantrum. Once he became one of the undead, Jason lost many of his human limitations he once had, but retains most of his emotions such as his everlasting hatred towards people for the way the world treated him and his mother, Pamela but he didn’t harm the kids who were staying in one of the cabins at Crystal Lake in Jason Lives

Jason stalked his victims cunningly, quietly, and sometimes grudgingly as with Tommy Jarvis and Tina Shepard at one point, but not recklessly, and luring them to their deaths. After killing his victims, he usually hid the bodies to prevent others from raising the alarm and to create more terror when his next intended victim would find it. If Jason had any virtues left, it would be that he never killed children under the age of eighteen or pets (The novel Hate-Kill-Repeat implied that he was responsible for the deaths of two children in a family, but the murders were never witnessed and they may have simply been unintentional collateral damage), and when he killed, it was always quick and their suffering was not long unless they struggled against him. Another possible virtue of Jason is shown when he saves Lori Campbell twice from becoming Freddy Krueger’s victim after she saved him from getting killed by the dreamstalker himself; though it is not actually known if he saved her on purpose. Jason truly hated Freddy Kruger for tricking and using him. However, in Freddy vs Jason vs Ash, he was shown to be willing to cooperate with him, in return Freddy used the Necronomicon to boost his intelligence.

Many have given suggestions as Jason’s motivation for killing. Ken Kirzinger refers to Jason as a «psychotic mama’s boy gone horribly awry…very resilient. You can’t kill him, but he feels pain, just not like everyone else.» Kirzinger goes on to say that Jason is a «psycho-savant,» and believes his actions are based on pleasing his mother, and not anything personal. Andrew O’Hehir has stated, «Coursing hormones act, of course, as smelling salts to prudish Jason, that ever-vigilant enforcer of William Bennett-style values. Todd Farmer, writer for Jason X, wrote the scene where Jason wakes from cryonic hibernation just as two of the teenagers began making love. Farmer liked the idea that sex acts triggered Jason back to life. Whatever his motivations, Kane Hodder believes there is a limit to what he will do. According to Hodder, Jason might violently murder any person he comes across, but when Jason Takes Manhattan called for Hodder to kick the lead character’s dog, Hodder refused, stating that, while Jason has no qualms against killing humans, he is not bad enough to hurt animals. Another example from Jason Takes Manhattan, involves Jason being confronted by a street gang of young teenage boys one of whom threatens him with a knife, however, Jason chooses not to kill them and instead scares them off by lifting up his mask and showing them his face. Likewise, director Tom McLoughlin chose not to have Jason harm any of the children he encounters in Jason Lives, stating that Jason would not kill a child, out of a sympathy for the plight of children generated by his own death as a child.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Superhuman Strength: In Part 2, Jason was shown to have some sort of enhanced strength capable of impaling victims with ease and was capable of breaking out a window with a single shot and his fist was barely formed and within Part III was capable of crushing someone’s head while lifting them and later throwing said 100+ pound man through a window, and finally in Part IV he was able to twist a man’s head around along with a hacksaw, crushing a teenager’s skull against a wall, being able to break through a window and throw girl out of said window with ease, and was able to smash through a door completely demolishing it. Thus making it his default strength, for when he was alive as he was rarely overpowered by normal individuals.

• Pain Resistance: Jason as a human still has a human personality and he has felt pain the same as humans but had shown an exceptional amount of tolerance for it as shown in Part III and Part IV he still shows human reactions when being stabbed and slashed by Chris and Tommy. Jason withstood fatal injuries that would kill or cripple a normal person under normal circumstances such as being hanged, an axe to the head, a machete through the shoulder, and being impaled through the head. As an undead, Jason no longer responds to pain and can generally function in situations where pain would disable a normal person. However, in Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, Jason can be heard groaning in pain while being shot at by the FBI.

• Stealth (Stalk/Super Speed): Jason can seemingly appear near his victims through means of walking; he can easily slip in and out of areas undetected. This is best seen in Part VIII when Jason kills Charles. He can swim at incredible speeds, completely unrestricted by water resistance. He can make himself go unnoticed in his surroundings, allowing him to freely act without being noticed, essentially allowing himself to slip into the shadows to go unnoticed and reappear behind his victims for a quick and easy elimination.

• Intelligence: Jason is shown to be extremely intelligent and high-functioning while possessing some tactical sense and strategic planning despite his hydrocephalic deformities. He lays traps for his victims as seen in Part 2, can be seen restraining victims to avoid detection, and he carefully arranges the bodies of his victims, occasionally using them as blockades or projectiles. His sense of direction is perfect, as he is always able to go wherever he wants to go, usually back to Crystal Lake even from long distances. He can escape all manner of bonds. Every one of his kills is unique, and he always finds creative ways to get to his victims as well. Beyond this, though, his intellectual capabilities are unclear and not clarified for the duration of the series, only being shown in his tactical malice towards camp counselors and his never ending objective to kill anyone that wanders into the territory of Camp Crystal Lake.

• Revenant Zombie Physiology: After being resurrected from a lightning bolt strike caused by Tommy Jarvis stabbing his corpse with a metal rod, Jason was accidentally brought back to life as an Undead but unlike the usual Zombies, Jason doesn’t want to eat human flesh like usual zombies but instead Jason Voorhees has kept his human personality and kept his former memories intact meaning now he is just a Zombie with intelligence.

• Supernatural Strength: After becoming a revenant zombie, Jason’s superhuman physical strength has become titanic, and immediately demonstrated his newfound power by punching right through Tommy’s friend’s body and gouging his heart out with a single punch. Jason is capable of sending his victims flying through the air. His feats of strength include going through concrete, decapitating someone with a single punch, freeing himself when he was pinned by a fallen tree and can break humans in half as well as rip limbs from their bodies just small portion of his new zombie strength, as he tossed a man with a single thrust and ripped his arm off in the process and then proceeded to decapitate three people with a single machete slash, smashed a girls head against a metal wall protruding her facial expression through it, and is able to twist a girls head off without any effort, and is able to break Officer Mike Garris in half by bending him backwards

• Immortality: After becoming a revenant zombie in Part VI (Part 6), Jason has become functionally immortal, which means he does not age and physical injuries or illness that would have killed a normal human would eventually heal and won’t truly affect him.
  • Regeneration: Jason after becoming a Revenant Zombie now possesses a unique ability to regenerate any lost and damaged tissue at an accelerated rate. As a result, he can sustain bullet and knife wounds and be essentially unaffected by them. This ability allows him to recover from any fatal injuries that are physically caused to him. So in the logical sense, he can only be incapacitated by being chained to the bottom of Crystal Lake but even still he will be almost and always be restored to «perfect» health, his constantly changing state of deformity can be attributed to his constant regeneration. This regeneration, however, is not perfect, as Jason still possesses an undead, desiccated appearance of exposed bones and deteriorating tissue. Technically being undead, his body is not affected by existing detrimental contaminants. He has complete immunity to all kinds of poison, virus, disease, bacteria, etc. (However, it’s not fully known how he can still be sedated as proven when Freddy had possessed Freeburg was able to render him unconscious with two syringes, and at some point, in the future, Jason was kept imprisoned via a combination of chained restraints and some unknown sedative substance administered to him by an I.V.)

• Resurrection: When Jason is «defeated» as shown at the end of Part 6 he is kept in a hibernating state and only outside forces such as the supernatural or human forces such as Tina Shepard telepathically and accidentally reviving him from his watery prison and Freddy Krueger who resurrected Jason due to the fact Jason doesn’t decay like the regular dead and was capable of returning Jason when entering his dream.

• Supernatural Durability: As an undead Jason now has beyond superhuman durability able to endure and tank virtually anything thrown at him from taking revolver shots and even surviving a motorboat propellor to the face.

• Teleportation: Jason seemingly possessed this ability in Friday the 13th Part VIII, but it hasn’t been confirmed if he did.

• Weapons Proficiency: Jason can use anything at his disposal as a weapon, he can create improvised weapons and instantly use them effectively
• Hunting Skills/Tracker: Jason can track down, trap, and pursue a person/group relentlessly for miles, He can adapt to his surroundings instantly, and will not stop until his target(s) are dead as seen in Jason Takes Manhattan, Jason Lives, and Friday the 13th Part 2.
• Intimidation/Overwhelming: Due to his overwhelming presence for those who enter his territory, the constant stories of his death/his killing sprees, and constant times when victims thought he was dead just for him to instantly recover; Jason can induce fear into anyone even with his name and causing many to try to flee when he appears. Some are even unlucky enough to accidentally remove his mask, revealing the decaying/deformed face of Jason, scaring them even more. His Intimidation can cause his victims to become desperate in their attempts to escape/defeat him, make mistakes for him to take advantage of, and even cause them to be clumsy when scared.

Abilities

Main article: Über Jason

• Nigh-Invulnerability: Due to the nano ants fully resurrecting and upgrading Jason into an unknown metal substance around a majority of his body he is now completely immune to bullets and other such things as the only thing capable of damaging this new body was when Sgt. Broski had intercepted Jason in space, sending both of them through earth II’s atmosphere and back into reentry leaving only Jason’s mask behind but Jason might have survived.

• Incomprehensible Strength: Already possessing both Superhuman and Supernatural Strength this new form dubbed as Über Jason has dramatically increased his newfound abilities capable of punching down a steel beam door which was bolted and sealed with a single punch displaying his new monstrous strength.

• Vacuum Space Survivability: Due to Nanotechnology upgrades Über Jason’s Mask gives him the capability to survive in the vacuum of space without having any known side-effects.

Weapons

Jason can use anything at his disposal as a weapon, but it seems that he is particularly fond of the machete. He also used his bare hands on many occasions to kill. However, Jason doesn’t use any kind of firearms (although he made use of a spear gun in Part III, Part IV, and Part VIII).

Trivia

• Jason has the most kills of any other horror film slasher. His total number of kills onscreen is (at least) 151. In Jason X, Voorhees was said to have murdered well over 200 people.
• Jason has been the main antagonist in all the films, with the exception of Part I and Part V.
• Jason was originally never meant to be the killer after Part 2 as they would give it 2 movies per one story, but they changed their mind and ended up keeping Jason. Halloween was going to do the same which is why there’s no Michael Myers in Halloween 3.
• Jason Voorhees year of birth has been changed over time. Betsy Palmer herself made a backstory for her killer that puts his birth in 1944. In other F13 entries (the Final Chapter), Jason’s mother was found to be born in 1930. It wasn’t until Jason Goes to Hell that Jason was given the birthdate of June 13, 1946.
• Kane Hodder has played Jason more times than anyone else.
• Tommy Jarvis was the first person ever to actually kill Jason as well as be a frequent enemy of his.
• Starting off in his resurrection from drowning to death, Jason gained supernatural strength and gaining a superior regenerative abilities.
• It is revealed in Part IX, Jason can apparently survive by switching bodies/souls.
• Jason’s reboot incarnation seems to be more intelligent than his original incarnation.
• Tina Shepard is the only female he has faced off with special abilities.
• His death won the Golden Chainsaw Award in Dead Meat’s «Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter» kill count.
• Jason Voorhees is not a Deadite, this was a simple fan service easter egg done by a young Adam Marcus.
• Jason was born on Thursday the 13th on June.

Как пишется по английски джейсон вурхис

Джейсон Вурхиз (Вурхис) (англ. Jason Voorhees) — вымышленный персонаж, главный герой фильмов серии Пятница, 13-е, маньяк-убийца, известный своими кровавыми способами расправ над жертвами. «Фирменное» орудие убийства — мачете.Внешность

Джейсон с самого рождения страдает гидроцефалией, отчего на левой части его головы образовалась опухоль. Это привело к тому, что мальчика постоянно дразнили, отчего он стал опасаться других людей. Также (если судить по образам Джейсона-ребёнка в фильмах), само лицо Джейсона, вероятно, из-за опухоли, имеет заметные дефекты: его глаза находятся на разной высоте, причём один глаз (левый, находящийся со стороны опухоли) постоянно косит в сторону. Остальная часть лица также обезображена: нос Джейсона не совсем прямой, а его челюсть сдвинута в сторону. Также в некоторых фильмах показано, что Джейсон был безволосым с самого детства.

Будучи взрослым человеком и маньяком, Джейсон в первом своём появлении был одет в простую синюю рубашку и комбинезон. На голове Джейсон носил пищевой мешок с одним лишь отверстием для правого глаза (так как его левый глаз был деформирован). Однако позже маньяк «обновил гардероб». Он носил брюки и рубашку синеватого оттенка, а также надел свою знаменитую хоккейную маску. Такой образ маньяк носил аж до девятого фильма. Однако начиная с шестого фильма серии, где Джейсон предстаёт перед зрителем в виде ожившего мертвеца, его одежда стала более тёмной (почти чёрной) и сгнившей (одежда стала напоминать лохмотья). Лишь в десятом фильме серии Джейсон «получил» куртку, которая также была разодрана. В том же фильме Джейсон предстаёт перед нами в образе «Кибер-Джейсона», после того как его расстреливают и буквально разрывают на части. Часть тела Джейсона, а также его рука и нога стали металлическими, оба глаза нормально видят, а маска приняла новый, более продвинутый вид.

В ремейке 2009 года Джейсону вернули его старый, но уже обновлённый вид. Он носил серые брюки, майку и куртку (которая является смесью походной и военной курток). Также в фильме Джейсон сперва носит на голове мешок, а уже позже находит маску.
[править] Силы и способности

Несмотря на то, что Джейсон выглядел уродливым и хилым в детстве, в действительности всё не так. У Джейсона очень высокий болевой порог, что не редко помогает ему сохранять свои силы даже в нереальных для человека ситуациях (например, когда Джейсону рассекли плечо мачете или пробили голову топором). При этом Джейсон почти не издаёт никаких криков или стонов: его речевой аппарат почти не действует, отчего маньяк даже не может говорить.

Джейсон Вурхиз (англ. Jason Voorhees) родился 13 июня 1946 года. Его мать, Памела Сью Вурхиз, забеременела ещё совсем юной девушкой (ей было 15) от Элайса Вурхиза. В тот же год (в 1945-м) они поженились (возможно, что сделали они это после того, как Памела забеременела). Джейсон появился на свет с сильной опухолью (гидроцефалия), вследствие чего подвергся сильному физическому уродству. Спустя какое-то время Памела и Элайс разошлись, Памела оставила себе фамилию мужа. Сам Элайс же через какое-то время встретил другую женщину и (приблизительно в 1954 году) на свет появилась сводная сестра Джейсона — Диана Вурхиз.

Из-за уродства Памела не пускала Джейсона в школу и, похоже, она была для него единственным человеком, которого он знал. В 1957 году (в возрасте 11 лет) Джейсон поехал в лагерь «Хрустальное озеро», где его мать работала поварихой. Лагерь, основанный в 1935 году, был назван та

Джейсон появился на свет с сильной опухолью (гидроцефалия), вследствие чего подвергся сильному физическому уродству. Спустя какое-то время Памела и Элайс разошлись, Памела оставила себе фамилию мужа. Сам Элайс же через какое-то время встретил другую женщину и (приблизительно в 1954 году) на свет появилась сводная сестра Джейсона — Диана Вурхиз.

Следующие пять лет Джейсон вольно разгуливал по этой округе. Всё ещё продолжая стесняться своего уродства, он носит на голове мешок с прорезями. В лесу он построил себе небольшую хижину, а в ней что-то вроде алтаря, на который водрузил голову матери. Летом 1982 года Джейсон напал на девушку-подростка Крис. От ужаса та потеряла сознание и пришла в себя лишь дома в своей кровати. Родители отделывались молчанием.

13 августа 1993 года Джейсона случайно освобождают, и он совершает ещё одну серию кровавых убийств, после чего его опять отправляют на дно озера. В мае 1994 года он пробуждается, и это оборачивается гибелью двоих учеников местной школы. На следующий день он превращает в кровавую баню экскурсию местных школьников в Манхэттен; многие погибают при крушении корабля. После «работы» в Нью-Йорке его убивает выбросом токсинов, однако он оживает и возвращается на озеро, где его ждут отряды ФБР. Операция ФБР проходит успешно, и убитого Джейсона отправляют в морг, где он в очередной раз восстаёт и под другим «обликом» идёт убивать. Через пару дней его родственница и её друг отправляют Вурхиза в ад.

В сентябре 2002 года Фредди Крюгер освобождает Джейсона от адской неволи и направляет его в город Спрингвуд, штат Огайо. Там Вурхиз убивает множество людей, а затем и самого Крюгера. Его отрубленную голову он забирает с собой как трофей.

2008—2009 год. Вурхиз пойман и приговорён к смертной казни, но ни один способ умертвления не дал результата.

В 2010 году Джейсона перевозят в лабораторию в другом городе. В процессе перевозки маньяк освобождается, убивает горстку людей и, попав в криогенную камеру, замораживается.

13 августа 2455 года на вымершей Земле учёные нашли эту камеру и, не зная, кто такой Джейсон, перенесли его на свой корабль. После гибернации он вновь принимается за старое. При крушении корабля его выбрасывает в космос, и при входе в атмосферу планеты он сгорает. Лишь его маска долетает до поверхности и падает в озеро, так что, возможно, история Джейсона на этом не заканчивается…

Как пишется по английски джейсон вурхис

Джейсон Вурхиз (Вурхис) (англ. Jason Voorhees) — вымышленный персонаж, главный герой фильмов серии Пятница, 13-е, маньяк-убийца, известный своими кровавыми способами расправ над жертвами. «Фирменное» орудие убийства — мачете.Внешность

Джейсон с самого рождения страдает гидроцефалией, отчего на левой части его головы образовалась опухоль. Это привело к тому, что мальчика постоянно дразнили, отчего он стал опасаться других людей. Также (если судить по образам Джейсона-ребёнка в фильмах), само лицо Джейсона, вероятно, из-за опухоли, имеет заметные дефекты: его глаза находятся на разной высоте, причём один глаз (левый, находящийся со стороны опухоли) постоянно косит в сторону. Остальная часть лица также обезображена: нос Джейсона не совсем прямой, а его челюсть сдвинута в сторону. Также в некоторых фильмах показано, что Джейсон был безволосым с самого детства.

Будучи взрослым человеком и маньяком, Джейсон в первом своём появлении был одет в простую синюю рубашку и комбинезон. На голове Джейсон носил пищевой мешок с одним лишь отверстием для правого глаза (так как его левый глаз был деформирован). Однако позже маньяк «обновил гардероб». Он носил брюки и рубашку синеватого оттенка, а также надел свою знаменитую хоккейную маску. Такой образ маньяк носил аж до девятого фильма. Однако начиная с шестого фильма серии, где Джейсон предстаёт перед зрителем в виде ожившего мертвеца, его одежда стала более тёмной (почти чёрной) и сгнившей (одежда стала напоминать лохмотья). Лишь в десятом фильме серии Джейсон «получил» куртку, которая также была разодрана. В том же фильме Джейсон предстаёт перед нами в образе «Кибер-Джейсона», после того как его расстреливают и буквально разрывают на части. Часть тела Джейсона, а также его рука и нога стали металлическими, оба глаза нормально видят, а маска приняла новый, более продвинутый вид.

В ремейке 2009 года Джейсону вернули его старый, но уже обновлённый вид. Он носил серые брюки, майку и куртку (которая является смесью походной и военной курток). Также в фильме Джейсон сперва носит на голове мешок, а уже позже находит маску.
[править] Силы и способности

Несмотря на то, что Джейсон выглядел уродливым и хилым в детстве, в действительности всё не так. У Джейсона очень высокий болевой порог, что не редко помогает ему сохранять свои силы даже в нереальных для человека ситуациях (например, когда Джейсону рассекли плечо мачете или пробили голову топором). При этом Джейсон почти не издаёт никаких криков или стонов: его речевой аппарат почти не действует, отчего маньяк даже не может говорить.

Джейсон Вурхиз (англ. Jason Voorhees) родился 13 июня 1946 года. Его мать, Памела Сью Вурхиз, забеременела ещё совсем юной девушкой (ей было 15) от Элайса Вурхиза. В тот же год (в 1945-м) они поженились (возможно, что сделали они это после того, как Памела забеременела). Джейсон появился на свет с сильной опухолью (гидроцефалия), вследствие чего подвергся сильному физическому уродству. Спустя какое-то время Памела и Элайс разошлись, Памела оставила себе фамилию мужа. Сам Элайс же через какое-то время встретил другую женщину и (приблизительно в 1954 году) на свет появилась сводная сестра Джейсона — Диана Вурхиз.

Из-за уродства Памела не пускала Джейсона в школу и, похоже, она была для него единственным человеком, которого он знал. В 1957 году (в возрасте 11 лет) Джейсон поехал в лагерь «Хрустальное озеро», где его мать работала поварихой. Лагерь, основанный в 1935 году, был назван та

Джейсон Вурхиз (персонаж)

Общая информация

О персонаже

Другие имена, прозвища, названия: Джейсон Вурхис.

Главный злодей в серии фильмов «Пятница 13-е», серийный убийца, восстающий из могилы, чтобы расправляться с юными вожатыми в летнем лагере «Хрустальное озеро» и другими жертвами. Фирменное орудие убийства — мачете. На лице чаще всего носит хоккейную маску.

Впрочем, из фильма в фильм его облик подвергался значительным изменениям. Интересно, что в первой «Пятнице, 13-е», снятой в 1980 году режиссером Шоном С. Каннингэмом, Джейсон появлялся лишь эпизодически и выглядел как мальчик-утопленник с уродливой головой гидроцефала. Уже в следующей части франшизы он перевоплотился во взрослого мужчину с явным отклонением в умственном развитии. Скрывая свое чудовищное лицо, он носит мешок с прорезями для глаз. И наконец в третьей «Пятнице, 13-ого» Джейсон впервые примеряет хоккейную маску. В дальнейшем также становится понятно, что он — сверхъестественное существо, которое вынуждено возвращаться с того света, чтобы вновь убивать.

Согласно сюжету фильмов:

Джейсон родился с физическими отклонениями, поэтому другие дети избегали его. Памела Вурхиз, его мать, устроилась работать в лагерь «Хрустальное озеро» поваром. Сына она берет с собой. В итоге ребенок тонет в озере, и мать винит во всем вожатых, не досмотревших за Джейсоном. В итоге она начинает мстить. После гибели Памелы сын восстает из мертвых и в свою очередь начинает мстить за нее.

Роль Джейсона Вурхиза в разное время исполняли разные актеры. Первым стал юный Ари Леман. Затем в фильме «Пятница 13-е – Часть 2» 1981 года эту роль исполнил каскадер Стив Дэш, ставший первым взрослым Джейсоном на экране.

Забавно, что многие актеры, примерявшие маску Вурхиза, не хотели, чтобы их имя упоминалось в титрах, а другие, наоборот, гордились своим участием в франшизе.

Самым известным исполнителем роли Джейсона стал Кейн Ходдер, сыгравший в четырех частях, начиная с «Новой крови» и заканчивая «Джейсоном X».

Над дизайном персонажа работали разные специалисты. Самый весомый вклад внес Том Савини.

Кроме того, Джейсон Вурхиз не раз появлялся в комиксах, в книгах и компьютерных играх. Так в Friday the 13th: The Game представлены почти все образы культового злодея.

Who is Jason Voorhees?

Ch-ch-ch. Ah-ah-ah. Watch your back for Jason Voorhees, the evil antagonist of the Friday the 13th horror franchise. He wears a hockey goalie mask, wields a bloodstained machete, slowly stalks his victims, and almost never talks.

Where does Jason Voorhees come from?

Who uses Jason Voorhees?

In pop culture, Jason Voorhees, who often just goes by Jason, occupies a similar niche as Michael Myers from the Halloween movies that is popular among cult, camp, and nostalgic horror fans and resurfaces every year around Halloween.

Both are portrayed as strong, silent serial killers who always come back from the dead no matter how many times we think they’ve finally been axed—and who obviously wear signature masks.

Jason‘s hockey goalie mask is commonly called a Jason mask. Given that films have him born on the date, Friday the 13th is sometimes referred to as Jason’s birthday.

Because of his habit of dusting himself off after intense fighting, people often liken something unstoppable to the character (e.g., that football player is like some kinda Jason Vorhees). And, because he pursues victims by slowly walking— almost never running—he’s associated with stalking movements.

I don’t «walk» on a treadmill for cardio, I’m just practicing my Jason Vorhees stalking. 🇺🇸

Whenever Jason Vorhees appears, the film cues its eerie and suspenseful theme music, popularly represented as ch-ch-ch-ah-ah-ah. Movie trivia: the sound is properly a ki-ki-ki-ma-ma-ma, rendered from the movie line “Kill her, mommy!”

13 сентября 2013 — планируемая дата выхода тринадцатой серии Пятница 13-е фильма ужасов, который вращается вокруг психа в хоккейной маске Джейсона Вурхиса.

He can be seen during Halloween dressed up in a Jason Voorhees style hockey mask, although he doesn’t participate in any of the missions.

Его можно заметить во время «Хэллоуина», наряженного в хоккейную маску как стиль Джейсона Вурхиса, хотя он не участвует ни в одной из миссий.

Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees return to terrorize the teenage population.

«Фредди Крюгер и Джейсон Вурхиз возвращаются, чтобы терроризировать местных подростков.

However, their weekend soon escalates into a nightmare after they find themselves face to face with evil, unimaginable, and improved, and his name is Jason Voorhees.

Однако их уикенд вскоре перерастет в кошмар после того, как они оказываются лицом к лицу со злом, невообразимым, и усовершенствованным, и имя его Джейсон Вурхиз.

The production brings back to life one of the most popular movie serial killers — Jason Voorhees, who debuted in the classic production by Sean S. Cunningham in 1980.

Игра возвращает к жизни одного из самых популярных серийных убийц фильмов — Джейсона Вурхиза, который дебютировал в классическом фильме Шона С. Каннингема в 1980 году.

Friday the 13th: The Game — игра третьего лица в жанре ужаса, игра для выживания, в которой игроки берут на себя роль советника подростка или впервые Джейсона Вурхиза.

Fans of the Friday the Thirteenth series need no introduction to Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees.

Фанатам серии «Пятница тринадцатое» не нужно представлять Фредди Крюгера и Джейсона Вурхиза.

Although Friday the 13th now brings to mind superstitions about bad luck and images of a hockey-mask-wearing, machete-wielding Jason Voorhees, the fear over the day stems from ancient mythological and religious beliefs.

Несмотря на то, что пятница 13-го теперь напоминает суеверия о невезении и образы Джейсона Вурхиса в хоккейной маске и с мачете, страх в течение этого дня связан с древними мифологическими и религиозными убеждениями.
