==Biography==
Jack Burrell was hired by Steve Christy to help renovate Camp Crystal Lake for reopening.  Jack, his girlfriend, Marcie Cunningham, and their friend, Ned Rubenstein, arrived at Camp Crystal Lake on June 13, 1979.  When they arrived at Camp Crystal Lake, they met Steve, along with the other camp counselors hired by Steve to help with the reopening of the cursed camp, including Alice Hardy, Bill, and Brenda.  Jack and his friends would hang out around the lake with the other counselors, getting to know each other.
After dinner and some run-ins with the locals, including Crazy Ralph and Officer Dorf, Jack and Marcie would retreat back to Jack's cabin and made love.  Following this and after sex, Marcie would leave to go to the outhouse to freshen up, leaving Jack by himself.  He was surprised when to find some blood dripping from the top bunk, where, unbeknownst to Jack, Ned's dead body was was left by Pamela Voorhees, who had murdered him hours earlier.  Before Jack could react, Pamela would put her hand onto Jack's forehead and shoved an arrow from underneath the bed and up through the back of Jack's neck and out his throat, thus killing him.  Later, Jack's body was nowhere to be found, however, in the original script, Jack's body was found after Alice found Steve's body hanging from the tree.
