about jason STATS (approx.) Height: 6.3ft - 6.5ft Weight: 230Ibs - 250Ibs Last sighting: Camp Crystal Lake Age: 57 years of age DID YOU KNOW? - Jason's mother's full name is: Pamela Sue Voorhees - His fathers full name is: Elias Todd Voorhees - Jason had a sister named Diane (He murders her in JGTH). - Mrs Voorhees was the Camp Crystal Lake cook up until Jason drowned. - Jason's mother killed seven camp councillors to avenge her son's death, she blamed the councillors for her son's untimely death as they weren't "paying any attention" when her boy was drowning. - Jason has been played by Kane Hodder in three different Friday the 13th movies. He is the only Jason actor to do more than one "stunt" as the psychopathic killer. - CJ Graham was second choice as Jason for pt 6, he got the call after the 'first pick' failed to convey the character as well as the director wanted. - Warrington Gillete originally auditioned for a speaking part in Friday the 13th pt 2, but instead got the role as Jason. - Jason was not originally planned to spawn eight sequels to the original Friday the 13th, Victor Miller - who wrote the script to the original Friday the 13th - told Royce Freeman in an interview how the scene at the end when Jason (played by Ari Lehman) pulls Alice Hardy (Adrienne King) under the water, was meant only as a dream sequence, and was not supposed to lead onto many more sequels. - The original "little Jason", Ari Lehman is now out of acting alltogether and in a band.

Quite sometime ago there was argument that it was spelt "Vorhees" as opposed to "Voorhees", however, it has been settled - mostly - that the actual spelling is "Voorhees", and only through error was it ever spelt "Vorhees". Q2. Was Jason mentally handicapped? A2. We believe he was indeed mentally handicapped atleast to a certain extent. He is also physically deformed. Q3. Who was Jason's father? A3. Jason's father was Elias Todd Voorhees whom left Pamela when Jason was very young. The character was supposed to make an appearance in pt 6, but the scene never made it to the finished movie. Q4. When did Jason become a zombie like killer? A4. Again there is good argument, realistically Jason's wounds in pt 2 were fatal without any hospital treatment. A safe bet is to say that The Final Chapter was the beginning of the "undead" Jason Voorhees. Q5. Why does Jason's appearance always change drastically from f13 to f13? A5. It is simply a lack of consistency with different make-up artists getting the job, nothing more. Q6. How can Jason still grunt and groan after his hanging in Part 3 - wouldn't that damage his voice box so that he couldn't even make a sound? A6. There are two possibilities here, either Jason's voice box wasn't damaged meaning he could still make certain grunting noises e.t.c or again it is down to a lack of consistency as far as storyline goes between the different movie makers responsible for each entry in the series. Q7. Why doesn't Jason actually run after his victims after Part 3? A7. Jason doesn't run for anybody, he "speed walks"! Q8. Why does Jason kill people - what is his motive? A8. His motive is clear and simple. After Jason supposedly drowned his mother took revenge by killing all the camp councillors when Camp Crystal Lake re-opened after his untimely "death" - well all except one Miss Alice Hardy who managed to kill Mrs. Voorhees. Jason took revenge, first on Alice and then any unfortunate who strayed across his path - mainly around Camp Crystal Lake. Q9. What is Jason Goes to Hell all about with the body hopping "hell babies" and major plot twists? A9. A complete and utter mess, plot wise. It was a mere setup. Q10. What about in Part 8 when Jason turns back into a little boy - And when Jason says "Mommy, help me!"? A10. Another piece of crap. We can't answer that as nobody really knows... Q11. In Jason Goes to Hell Jason has his old body back, but he was a little boy at the end of Jason Takes Manhattan - what is up with that? A11. The makers of The Final Friday chose to completely disregard the end of Part 8 (Jason Takes Manhattan) and in my opinion rightly so. It was unneeded confusion, however, that doesn't mean to say that they (the makers of JGTH) avoided a silly plot themselves, as they clearly didn't. They watched too much Aliens or something, but that is another story. Q12. Why was Adrienne King's character (Alice) killed off so early in pt 2? A12. It probably has alot to do with the same reason that Adrienne stepped back from acting altogether: a stalker. Q13. Was there really men in suits? A13. Yup, there was... << Back
