Jason Voorhees

Jason Voorhees is a fictional character from the Friday the 13th films. He is the killer in all of the films, except for in the original Friday the 13th and '. With his trademark hockey mask, his machete, and leitmotif of an echoed "Ch-ch-ch, ha-ha-ha" in the soundtrack, Jason is easily among the most recognizable horror villains.

Jason resurfaces

Living as a hermit in the camp's forest, Jason witnessed his mother's bloody demise and was devastated. When Alice returned to Crystal Lake to face her fears, Jason stabbed her in the head with an ice pick. Jason then returned to the forest. Five years later a man named Paul Holt opened up a camp counselor training ground near the Camp Crystal Lake site. Jason, wearing a burlap sack on his head to hide his disfigured face, went into the area to drive them out of his home. After dispatching six counselors, he struggled with a girl named Ginny, who drove a machete into Jason's shoulder. Ginny returned to the training ground with Holt and they locked themselves in one of the cabins. A few minutes later Jason appeared to burst through the window and attacked the two remaining counselors. However, it is disputed whether this was only a hallucination by Ginny , who awoke to find herself being loaded into an ambulance and Holt nowhere to be seen (in Making Friday The 13th: The Legend Of Camp Blood by David Grove, it is confirmed that Holt was killed off camera), or that it really happened.

The next day Jason killed a couple living in a home near Crystal Lake and got new clothes. Then he made his way to a vacationing spot called Higgins Haven and killed 10 vacationing teenagers there. It was there where he replaced the burlap sack with the trademark hockey mask that he took from a teenager he killed. The one person who survived Jason's rampage, a girl named Chris Higgins, whose parents owned Higgins Haven and was attacked several years before by Jason, took an axe and gashed it into the left side of his head, knocking him out.

Jason's body was taken to the Wessex County Morgue, where he regained consciousness, killed the coroner, and quickly escaped. When he returned to the camp, he killed the teenagers resting there. As he was about to kill a girl named Trisha Jarvis, her brother, Tommy, distracted the mute murderer by dressing up as Jason when he was a boy. Tommy then hacked Jason in the left side of his face until Jason fell onto the machete and split his head open. Tommy would spend the next four years in a mental institution. Jason was buried at Eternal Peace Cemetery near his mother.
