Jason Voorhees – Friday The 13th

First, let’s talk about Jason Voorhees.

The character of Jason Voorhees was created by screenwriter Victor Miller and made his first appearance in the 1980 film Friday the 13th. He appeared throughout the entire Friday the 13th franchise, as a seemingly unstoppable killer who terrorizes a group of teenagers at Camp Crystal Lake. Jason, who is known for his hockey mask and machete, has become one of the most recognizable figures in horror and has appeared in over a dozen films, television shows, and novels.

In the original film, Jason was a young boy who drowned at Camp Crystal Lake due to the negligence of the camp counselors. Years later, his mother, Pamela Voorhees, seeks revenge on the counselors for her son’s death and begins killing them one by one.

In the sequels, Jason is revealed to have survived his drowning and becomes the main killer. He is depicted as a nearly invulnerable, mute, and psychopathic killer who stalks and kills anyone who comes to or lives near Crystal Lake.

Throughout the franchise, Jason’s appearance and motivation for killing have changed. In the early films, he is portrayed as a rotting corpse, but in later films, he is portrayed as a more physically fit and agile killer. In some films, he is portrayed as being motivated by a desire to avenge his mother’s death, while in others, he is portrayed as simply being driven by an instinct to kill.

The Friday the 13th franchise is one of the longest-running and most successful horror film series in history, and Jason Voorhees has become one of the most iconic horror movie villains of all time. The character has also appeared in video games, comics and has been featured in numerous merchandise.
