Jason Voorhees (Kid)

## Jason Voorhees

* Game
* Movie

The murderous history of Camp Crystal Lake and the locals' warnings do not deter new counselors from setting up a summer camp. One by one, the counselors are stalked and slaughtered by a merciless and mysterious killer -- Pamela Voorhees. She is on a rampage to avenge the death of her son Jason, who drowned in the lake because irresponsible and promiscuous counselors were not supervising him. The film ends with one of the most memorable stringers in cinema history.

The Child version of Jason can only be shown in the Jason Voorhees Showcase Room and in the 2.0 Virtual Cabin 2nd ending when escaping by the boat.

***"The Illusionary but real representation of a child form of Jason Voorhees who had by all accounts "supposedly" drowned at the lake 20+ years before the events of his Mother serial killing spree when he was only 12 years old." -Virtual Cabin Summary***

## Backstory

Jason Voorhees was born in the small town of Crystal Lake on June 13, 1946, to an Unknown Man and Pamela Voorhees. Jason was afflicted with severe facial deformities, Hydrocephalus, an abnormally large head and mental disabilities due to the abuse inflicted by his monstrous size Step-Father Elias Voorhees it was his mother who supposedly killed him in the claim of self-defense of her Son Jason.

Within the year of 1957, it was Jason who drowns while swimming at Camp Crystal Lake where his body is never recovered from the lake and was called off by police chief Tom Kelley and Detective Joe Maddrey.

Pamela explains that Jason was a terrible swimmer and that she tried to teach him as a child but he was too afraid, and that while the counselors were not watching that he took a boat into the middle of the lake and tried to prove to her and others he could swim.

In 1979 it was Steve Christy who was attempting to re-open Camp Crystal Lake. He and his counselors are slaughtered by Pamela Sue Voorhees by only a girl named Alice who survives.

On Wednesday, July 11, 1984, Alice disappears. The case is considered a homicide based on the traces of her blood on the walls of her apartment. The body of Alice is never recovered. Upon this, a group of new camp counselors is on their to the campgrounds to be trained for the children and other such things while Jason started to kill off the counselors one by one, the counselors dead and the final girl Gina (Ginny) survives, with her lover Paul deceased and her being sent to the hospital.

After the day of carnage with homicidal maniac Jason Voorhees surviving his attack caused by Gina with a machete to the shoulder, it picks up with Jason now muscular in appearance stealing some clothes and killing a local store owner and his wife. Meanwhile, Chris and her sometimes boyfriend, Rick, are hosting a group of teenage friends at Chris' lake house. Despite a run-in with a local biker gang, they enjoy an amiable weekend together that is, until Jason begins knocking off kids and bikers alike.

A carefree lakeside vacation is interrupted by the resurrection of killer Jason Voorhees. After he escapes from a morgue after waking up, leaving bodies in his wake, Jason travels back to Camp Crystal Lake where a group of friends is staying. The teens meet some locals: Tommy Jarvis and Trish, as well as secretive hiker Rob. As the group of teenagers engages in drunken debauchery, their numbers begin to dwindle, and pieces of the past resurface.

Only mentioned throughout the film as the inspiration behind Roy Burns killing spree as he terrorizes Tommy Jarvis and other patients at the Pinehurst cabins using the *Legend* of Jason to try to throw them off his trail.

Years ago, Tommy Jarvis killed the infamous hockey-masked murderer Jason Voorhees, and the intensity of the experience has landed him in numerous mental institutions. On July 12th, 19XX To end his torment and achieve a level of closure, Tommy escapes from the hospital with his friend Allen Hawes and heads to the graveyard where Jason is buried, intending to dig up the body and cremate it. But, before this total annihilation can occur, a freak electrical accident resurrects Jason from the dead, and the terror begins anew. Jason starts a new killing spree which causes Tommy to go to the police department to tell them what he had done but the sheriff and deputy themselves ignored the labeled crazed teenager and locked him in a ceil.

On October 13, 1991, a year later after the chaining of Jason Voorhees, after the strange drowning death of her father, Tina Shepard returns to the site of his demise, Crystal Lake. Her developing psychic powers were responsible for ending his life, leaving Tina riddled with guilt as an adult. As of September 2001, the deceitful Dr. Crews tries to manipulate her abilities for his own ends, both physician and patient are in for a shock when Tina's powers unwittingly free camper-killer Jason Voorhees from his watery slumber.

In 2002, the Mass murderer Jason Voorhees is resurrected for the second time from the bottom of Crystal Lake. After he kills a passing boat's occupants, he stows away on a cruise ship filled with a high-school graduating class-bound for New York City. Biology teacher Charles McCulloch is on board with his niece, Rennie, who has visions of Jason drowning as a child. They escape his bloody shipboard rampage, but, when Rennie and Charles reach Manhattan, Jason is close by.

And in 2003 an undercover Female FBI operative lured Jason into a trap set up by the FBI while being blown away by a team of FBI agents, Jason Voorhees needs to find a way to overcome certain death. When his bloodied remains are sent to the morgue, his heart, still intact, is able to hypnotize a coroner and take over his body. After brutally dispatching a couple of FBI agents, he heads back to his favorite stomping grounds: Crystal Lake. Jason commences another teen massacre while a bounty hunter named Duke discovers the only way to kill him.

Set in the same year of 2003 in Autumn, Jason faces off against another supernatural serial killer, Freddy Krueger, which leaves Freddy decapitated and Jason walking out of the lake with his head.

Years after the events of Freddy Vs Jason in 2010 Jason, is captured by the military where he was put under extreme experiments as they tried, every form to kill him, but after escaping and kill the guards, Jason is lured and trapped into a hyperbolic freeze chamber, and many years after these events the year is now 2455, the location is on a dead and old Earth. Once the shimmering blue jewel of the galaxy, Old Earth is now a contaminated planet abandoned for four centuries. Yet humans have returned to the deadly place that they once fled. Not to live, but to research the ancient rusting artifacts of the bygone civilizations that caused this environmental disaster. And little does the most recent landing party of intrepid young explorers realize the fate that awaits them as they bring Jason Voorhees back to life and causes one of the biggest massacres ever seen in history causing an entire ship to crash into a floating city.

## Body Count

**Friday the 13th Part 2:**

**Friday the 13th Part 3**

**Friday the 13th Part 4: The Final Chapter**

**Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives**

**Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood**

**Friday the 13th Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan**

**Friday the 13th Part 9: Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday**

**Friday the 13th Part 10: Jason X**

**Freddy Vs Jason**

Jason Voorhees total body count of 152 kills. (Adding the Reboot Jason own Kills total would be 166 Victims but since this is about the older and original he isn't counted here.)

The writer of Jason X Todd Farmer was asked about how many were killed as the rumor is that Jason killed 20,000 people but he corrected it as stating *"No. That rumor is so very annoying. It was 19,727. RIP. And while it hurts my heart to mention... 207 dogs, 17 cats, 4713 angelfish, guppies, Neons and Mollys, 3 gerbils, 14 rats, and 1 pony. Rumor has it there was a Komodo Dragon but I'm pretty sure that's bs."*

By Todd Farmers words this means Jason would have indirectly caused the death of the 14,771 people but by adding the deceased animals Jason's total kill count is 19,727 in Jason X (for indirect Kills) and not adding the previous films

Jason Voorhees True Kill Count is 19,879 Kills! making Jason Voorhees the undisputed King of Slashers body counts.
